    Steam achievements leaked for dozens of unreleased and unannounced games.

    Some of the achievement lists include spoilers and new details for games like Persona 6 and Kingdom Hearts IV, Gematsu reports. The owner of achievement-tracking site Exophase said in a post that the leak “Seems like a possible screw up on Valve’s end, a bunch of games with achievements that should be private are accessible through the API right now and that’s why they got scanned into the site.”

    Asahi Linux has officially added support for M3 Macs.

    The project’s developers say they now have “almost everything” running in Linux on M3 devices, but they’re still working on full DCP and GPU support. Asahi warned users not to expect “performant or power-efficient 3D acceleration right now.” Sleep mode and the HDMI port are also not working yet.

    Apple buys sensor tech startup Sonera.

    The acquisition happened earlier this year. Sonera claimed in 2023 that it will make “brain activity as easy to measure as heart rate, temperature, and other physiological signals,” which could lend itself to future wearable devices.
