Want to hear an orchestra perform music from Starfield?
As I write this, Bethesda is showing the premiere of a performance of the game’s music from the London Symphony Orchestra. I love the game’s music, so this video is totally making my day.

One great thing about Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5? Local co-op.
I agree with everything in Ash Parrish’s article about Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5 — the controller experience can be really finicky. But I’m happy to deal with all of that hassle to be able to easily play local co-op on the big TV in my living room with my wife. We have had a delightful time romping through Faerûn together, and if you want to play the game with a friend, local co-op on PS5 is the way to go, if you ask me.

Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Village are coming to other Apple devices this year, too.
The RE4 remake will come to iPad and Mac later this year, and Resident Evil Village is coming to iPad this year as well, according to a Capcom press email I got this morning. (Village is already available on Mac.) Both games will also be available on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, and both will support cross-progression across Apple devices.

California is on the precipice of turning its Right to Repair bill into law.
The state’s legislature has passed Senate Bill 244, according to iFixit, and all it needs to become law is to pass a “minor procedural vote” in the state Senate and then be signed by governor Gavin Newsom.
In August, Apple said it would support the bill in a move that was a major surprise. The company talked up the iPhone 15 Pro’s repairability in its event keynote on Tuesday.

Bluesky now has more than one million users.
The Twitter alternative is still in a closed beta. “Our current focus is on preparing to open up and getting the network to a state that can support many more users,” the company wrote in a blog post announcing the milestone.
I was a big fan of Bluesky earlier this year, but I’ve recently been doing my microblogging on Threads.

A new Justice Department filing says that Elon Musk’s actions at X (formerly Twitter) might have violated a privacy order from the FTC, according to The Washington Post.
Seems like Musk may have made some bad decisions:
Multiple employees testified that Musk gave directives that were at odds with the company’s normal processes and policies, according to the filing.
