Getty Images/XFor years, speculation swirled that President Trump's name would surface in Jeffrey Epstein's infamous black book, so when the House Judiciary GOP's official X account teased a major revelation from the long-awaited Epstein Files, the internet braced for impactonly to be Rickrolled with a link to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"."#BREAKING: EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED: https://tinyurl.com/EpsteinFilesV2," the House Judiciary GOP account tweeted Thursday.The TinyURL link, instead, redirects to the official "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video on YouTube."I absolutely love a good Rick Roll, but when discussing the child sex trafficked and their ruined lives, this is not the time," said one user."This isn't funny," another added."Glad you guys find this amusing. We don't," another wrote.Others questioned if the account had been hacked.The political circus comes amid the anticipated Thursday release of the Epstein files. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed records include "flight logs, names, and a lot of information." Bondi told Fox News Wednesday more than 250 victims had been documented, adding that the details were "pretty sick."Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, leading the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets wrote:"I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today... A NY Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein's phonebook. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR and a complete disappointment. GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR!"Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was accused of running a vast trafficking network that ensnared underage girls and involved powerful figures from politics, business, and entertainment. His connections to power players, including Trump, have long raised eyebrows. Trump, who once described Epstein as a "terrific guy" in a 2002 interview, later distanced himself, claiming they had a falling out years before Epstein's 2019 arrest and subsequent death in a Manhattan jail cell."The Epstein list is going to be released and much more is coming. There is currently a war raging within. The resistance within will be beaten and the truth will be revealed," said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, adding that she is "proud" of the work by Bondi and FBI director Kash Patel.While the Justice Department has promised disclosures, many worry redactions will leave more questions than answers. 2025 Latin Times.

Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other extensions in Edge Taras BuriaNeowin@TarasBuria Feb 26, 2025 09:42 EST Hot!If you use the uBlock Origin extension in Google Chrome or Edge, you should probably start looking for alternative browsers or extensionseither way. A few days ago, users noticed that Google had begun disabling uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions as part of the migration to Manifest V3. Now, Microsoft Edge appears to be following suit.The latest Edge Canary version started disabling Manifest V2-based extensions with the following message: "This extension is no longer supported. Microsoft Edge recommends that you remove it." Although the browser turns off old extensions without asking, you can still make them work by clicking "Manage extension" and toggling it back (you will have to acknowledge another prompt). At this point, it is not entirely clear what is going on. Google started phasing out Manifest V2 extensions in June 2024, and it has a clear roadmap for the process. Microsoft's documentation, however, still says "TBD," so the exact dates are not known yet. This leads to some speculating about the situation being one of "unexpected changes" coming from Chromium. Either way, sooner or later, Microsoft will ditch MV2-based extensions, so get ready as we wait for Microsoft to shine some light on its plans.Another thing worth noting is that the change does not appear to be affecting Edge's stable release or Beta/Dev Channels. For now, only Canary versions disable uBlock Origin and other MV2 extensions, leaving users a way to toggle them back on. Also, the uBlock Origin is still available in the Edge Add-ons store, which recently received a big update.In August 2024, when Google started flagging uBlock Origin as unsupported, the extension's maker stepped in and recommended users switch to uBlock Origin Lite, a Manifest V3-based extension, and accept some of its limitations. Another option is to switch to Firefox. Mozilla recently announced its plans to keep Manifest V2 extensions working, including uBlock Origin, based on Mozilla Manifesto, which claims that "individuals must have the ability to shape the internet and their own experiences on it."Now, users can either switch to a browser that still supports MV2 extensions or move to MV3-based ad blockers. Of course, not all MV2 extensions have "more modern" versions, so for many, switching to Firefox or another browser with MV2 support will be the only option to keep old extensions working.As an online publication, Neowin relies on ads for operating costs.

Hey NowShrek 5 is giving the titular ogre and family a new look, and it seems like only Xbox is happy about it"We are so back baby."Image credit: Dreamworks News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Feb. 28, 2025 Everyone's favourite ogre has a new look for Shrek 5, but for some reason only Xbox seems to like it.It's been 15 years since Shrek last received a movie, but in 2026, Shrek 5 will finally be releasing, and it even just got its first teaser trailer yesterday. The trailer in question is pointedly memey, with Shrek and Donkey asking the magic mirror who the fairest of them all is, and that's Shrek himself apparently, as he scrolls through faux TikToks of him wearing sunglasses, doing a dance in a PVC suit that you'll probably remember as a trend on TikTok, and one of his face Photoshopped onto a very buff body. That then cuts to well, Shrek and Donkey, only with a slight redesign, their first since the series kicked off more than two decades ago.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Fiona has one too, all three of them played by their original voice actors, i.e. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. But they're also being joined by Zendaya, who's playing Shrek and Fiona's daughter Felicia, a casting that makes perfect sense given that the original films always hired whoever was big at the time too. The thing is, not everyone is a fan of Shrek's new look. Just head to the replies on the Shrek Twitter account's posting of the trailer and you'll see comments like "what's up with their faces?" and "we changed Sonic, we can do it again."Personally, I really don't think it looks bad at all. Weird, sure, but that's just because I've been seeing this character everywhere for almost my entire life, but the animation itself is quite nice, and much more lively than the series previously has been - clearly Dreamworks is following up a touch on the genuinely great Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.There is one other person, or entity, that likes it, though: Xbox UK. Yes, I too question the state of marketing these days, but Xbox UK has shared that it thinks "we are so back baby." I'm not really sure we needed any take on the state of Shrek's redesign from Xbox, but we have it, so that's that! Can't wait to hear what Nintendo UK thinks of the full trailer.Shrek 5 is currently slated for release July 1, 2026.

Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube797kNintendo UK has released a remixed song from Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on YouTube, presenting an updated version of the classic track 'Don't Worry'.Titled 'Don't Worry [2XDv]', it does admittedly sound pretty close to the original, but there's enough variation here to make it worthwhile, we think. The music cuts off pretty abruptly towards the end too, so this particular upload presumably isn't the full track, but it at least gives us a tantalising treat ahead of the game's launch on 20th March 2025.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube797kWatch on YouTube Originally released on the Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles X is somewhat separate from the main numbered series from developer Monolith Soft, but this new release on Switch includes new content that may tie it closer into the wider series lore.We went hands-on with the game recently and came away feeling optimistic, praising the updated visuals and performance, while appreciating the same compelling world design and open-ended structure. We can't wait for the full game to launch next month, and it'll give us something to keep our minds occupied while we await Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 Direct.

The Post Office has made its first official apology to subpostmasters who used its faulty Capture accounting software and were blamed and punished for unexplained shortfalls.Ken Tooby received a letter from a senior executive who apologised sincerely and unreservedly" on behalf of the Post Office for failings and impact on Toobys late wife June, who spent years challenging the Post Office over alleged shortfalls in the accounts at her branch in the north-east of England.June Tooby, who died in 2020, was relentlessly pursued by the Post Office and never revealed to her husband the amount of pressure she was under.In the letter, Simon Recaldin, remediation unit director at the Post Office wrote: It is clear through the efforts of former postmasters and their families that there were significant failings at Post Office relating to Capture. We are truly sorry for these failings and their impact on all concerned, including your late wife, June."We deeply regret that June was not able to receive this apology herself, see these issues recognised alongside the Horizon scandal, denied the opportunity to see the truth uncovered, for justice to prevail and see her good name restored."Tooby was sued by the Post Office for more than 55,000 and taken to court in 2003, following unexplained shortfalls in branch accounts. She was declared bankrupt.Last year, an independent investigation was commissioned into Capture, which found there was a "reasonable likelihood" it had caused shortfalls in branch accounts, which ruined lives.The apology comes after campaigning by former Capture users who, until the ITV dramatisation of the Post Office Horizon scandal in January last year, had been in the dark over how IT errors could cause losses they were blamed and punished for.ThePost Office scandal was firstexposed by Computer Weekly in 2009. Thousands of subpostmasters were wrongly blamed and even prosecuted for unexplained accounting shortfalls caused by the error-prone Horizon IT system, which was implemented several years after Capture had been introduced.After years of campaigning, subpostmasters who had suffered as a result of errors in Horizon were finally put at the centre of national debate when the ITV drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office brought their stories to wider public attention.In the same month, Kevan Jones, an MP at the time who now sits in the House of Lords, highlighted evidence of injustices caused by the Capture computer system used by some Post Office branches prior to the introduction of Horizon.Jones had visited a subpostmaster who he thought may be a victim of Horizon, but when he realised the dates involved, it became clear another system could be at fault.Since the drama put the scandal at the centre of debate, successive governments have been forced to act. In May 2024, the former Conservative government introduced legislation to exonerateabout 900 former Horizon users who were convicted based on evidence from Fujitsus faulty system.Now the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is reviewing 21 cases of potential wrongful conviction, put forward by law firm Hudgell Solicitors, where the Capture IT system could be a factor. This is an increase from 17 just weeks ago and from five in November last year.Capture was a PC-based applicationdeveloped by the Post Officeand uploaded onto a personal computer to carry out branch accounts. The software was a standalone system, unlike Horizon, which is a complex, networked system connected to centralised services.Thousands of subpostmasters used Capture and there are more and more cases coming to light with glaring similarities to those related to Horizon.A Kent subpostmistress who was convicted of theft from her branch in the 1990s is one of a new wave whose families are fighting to clear their names.Patricia Owen, who was convicted in 1998 of theft from her Post Office branch in Canterbury over a shortfall of 6,000, is one of the 21 cases Hudgell has put forward to the CCRC.Owen, who died in 2003, denied the charges against her but was found guilty on five counts of theft. She received a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.Owens daughter, Juliet, said her mother never recovered from the sentence:It destroyed my mum. Her world came to an end when she lost her Post Office and was prosecuted. It was awful, she said."One day I remember them sitting us down and telling us that mum was being prosecuted and that they had to go to court. We managed to get an independent computer expert to look over everything and he said there were malfunctions with the software, so we were hopeful ahead of the court case. The expert didnt turn up on the day, and we never found out why.Peter Lloyd-Holt, who died aged 75 in 2021, was sacked in 1994 from his role as a subpostmaster in Bolton after accounts at his branch showed unexplained shortfalls.His wife Agnes, who worked as an investigator for the Department of Work and Pensions at the time he was sacked, said life was never the same again: That was the beginning of the end. He was interviewed under caution without representation. I was contacted but not allowed to attend, she said.He was eventually told in March 1995 that he wasnt going to be prosecuted, but he was still held responsible for the shortfalls and we were made to pay back a considerable sum.I had to work overtime to pay the mortgage and to pay back what the Post Office alleged we owed them, and that meant we suffered financial hardship as there had to be cutbacks, she added.Lloyd-Holt's son, Paul, said: What happened to my father destroyed him. When my dad was interviewed he submitted all his documentation and evidence to clear his name, ledgers and dockets and spreadsheets, but they were never returned, so there is little evidence available to us to clear his name.Any evidence like bank statements have been lost over time, so we need the support of the solicitors to do this. He never could move on though, it always cast a shadow over his life, and our lives as a family. Now, were in a position where we only have our own memories, and we are having to contact many organisations and bodies to see what extra evidence we can uncover.The Post Office Horizon scandal wasfirst exposed by Computer Weekly in 2009, revealing the stories of seven subpostmasters and the problems they suffered due to accounting software (see below timeline of all Computer Weekly articles about the Horizon scandal, since 2009).Timeline of how Capture controversy has unravelled since Horizon scandal dramatization

.shock - stock.adobe.comNewsMajor UK banks hit by payday digital banking problems againA month after Barclays suffered online banking problems, customers at multiple banks report further issuesByKarl Flinders,Chief reporter and senior editor EMEAPublished: 28 Feb 2025 11:30 Customers of multiple banks have reported problems banking online, as they struggle to access services on payday for the second month running.The problems came two days after MPs were due to receive details of how IT failures have affected banks over the past two years.At the end of January, customers of Barclays Bank were left unable to access app and online banking services following a major IT outage that lasted three days.The latest problems, yet again on payday, have hit Lloyds Bank, Nationwide, TSB and Halifax, according to outage monitoring organisation Downdetector.One senior banking IT professional, who asked to remain anonymous, said that if a number of banks experience problems at the same time it points to a relating factor.If its lots of banks, it makes me think theres a common denominator like theyre using a supplier or software thats shared by multiple banks, because it would be coincidental for several of them to go down on the same day, he said.Further pointing to a potential problem with external IT, he added that in his experience, banks try to avoid making IT changes at the end of the month.End of the month is normally a time banks avoid making changes, he said. For example, financing departments inside the banks do not like the risk of chaos at an unprecedented end of the month because theyre month-end accounting and dont want technology problems.Read more about banking IT outagesIn contrast, he said the problems at Barclays pointed to something related to an internal change.The problems come just days after a deadline set by MPs on the Treasury Committee for UK bank bosses to provide information on the scale and impact of IT failures over the past two years.The questions set by MPs for Barclays included what caused the latest outage and how it affected customers, as well as how the bank intended to prevent such a failure from happening again.The other eight bank bosses were asked to provide an overview of the number of instances and amount of time in total services have been unavailable to customers due to IT failure over the past two years, how many customers have been affected, the amount of compensation that has been paid to their customers, and a description of the reason for the failures. You canread the letters to the bank CEOs here.Following the Barclays problems, Treasury Committee chair Meg Hillier, MP said: When a banks IT system goes down, it can be a real problem for our constituents, who were relying on accessing certain services so they can buy food or pay bills. For it to happen at a major bank such as Barclays at such a crucial time of year is either bad luck or bad planning. Either way, its important to learn what has happened and what will be done about it.She added that theclosure of high street branches in favour of online banking means bank crashes hit customers harder. The rapidly declining number of high street bank branches makes the impact of IT outages even more painful; thats why Ive decided to write to some of our biggest banks and building societies, said Hillier.In The Current Issue:An action plan for net zero compatible with budget constraintsWhat is Dunelm doing for women in tech?Download Current IssueF5 AppWorld 2025: Day #2 keynote & live show report CW Developer NetworkF5 details multi-Terabit VELOS hardware to power AI workloads CW Developer NetworkView All Blogs
