The FCC shared a proposed Energy Star-like cybersecurity label and Cyber Trust logo for certified devices. It would show how long you can expect Internet of Things (IoT) devices to get updates, what kind of data is collected and if it’s shared, and much more.

Called Portal: Prelude RTX, it’s free for owners of the original Portal on Steam once it’s released at 3PM ET today.
This is the first title to use Nvidia’s RTX IO, which supports both DirectStorage and Vulkan, using GPU cores to load compressed data directly from storage to the graphics card. The system is also being used in the PC port for Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart.
Portal Prelude is unrelated to the similarly-named side-scroller for graphing calculators.
Podcasts started showing up for YouTube Music users in the US back in April, with YouTube promising more countries to follow. Now that process has begun.

18-year-old Arion Kurtaj, who is accused of participating in a hacking spree that resulted in leaked early gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto VI, has been deemed mentally unfit to stand trial in a London court, according to Reuters.
As a result, the trial jury will “determine whether he committed the acts,” but won’t determine his guilt. Kurtaj was allegedly part of Lapsus$, a hacking group that gained notoriety for several high-profile cyberattacks last year.
