The PlayStation Network is experiencing issues right now. Its network status page was updated at 7PM Eastern time with a warning that you may not be able to log in, access and edit your accounts, no matter what console you use. We're also unable to log into the network on our computer or our phone. "We're working to resolve the issue as soon as possible," the notice reads. "Thank you for your patience." It's not possible to create an account at the moment. The service has also warned that you may "have difficulty" firing up games and apps on your consoles and the web, so you may not be able to play some titles or access certain features that need an internet connection. The network outage, unsurprisingly, affects the PlayStation Store. You'll have to do your shopping another time you can't purchase and redeem vouchers, and you won't even be able to browse titles and search for specific ones. You can't start downloading new games and updates either, and if you were downloading anything before the issue began, it may not show any progress until the issue is fixed.

A group of House Democrats are pushing Mark Zuckerberg on Metas recent policy changes, saying they are deeply concerned about the companys move to loosen its content moderation rules, end corporate diversity programs and ditch third-party fact checking. In a letter addressed to the Meta CEO, four members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee demanded details about the sweeping changes Zuckerberg announced last month. These policy changes, the timing of which gives the inescapable appearance of currying favor with the Trump Administration, are abhorrent, inconsistent, and dangerous, the lawmakers wrote. Meta so far hasnt provided many specifics about how it will implement its new policies, which were announced shortly before President Donald Trump took office. The letter asks Zuckerberg to describe how Trumps threats of retribution against you may have influenced the decision to end fact-checking on the platform. It also asks if the Facebook founder has had discussions with anyone representing the Trump Administration regarding the Federal Trade Commissions antitrust case against Meta. The letter further notes that Zuckerbergs recent statements seem to directly contradict previous remarks he made when the Oversight Board was first created. The Oversight Board, once touted as a beacon of accountability, is rendered toothless when Meta itself refuses to adhere to the principles of trust and safety, it says. Lawmakers also questioned Zuckerberg about his public statements that corporations need more "masculine energy calling it particularly strange in light of the fact that Metas long time Chief Legal Officer and its current Chief Financial Officer are both women and the three most important committees of your Board of Directors are chaired by women. Zuckerberg was given a February 21, 2025, deadline to respond. We dont have anything further to say beyond all weve already communicated over the last weeks, a Meta spokesperson told Engadget when asked about the letter.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/house-democrats-press-mark-zuckerberg-on-metas-policy-changes-235229672.html?src=rss

Fusing a design icon, classical literature and modern technology, BIC Brazil found an ingenious way to showcase the iconic Cristal ballpoint's durability. To celebrate the pen's 75th anniversary, the French manufacturer used a robotic arm to transcribe the entirety of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet using just one Cristal. The arm wrote for 63 continuous hours and still had ink to spare.Based on the sole surviving manuscript in Shakespeare's handwriting, BIC's team used AI to analyze the script and create over 20 versions of the bard's scrawl before landing on an authentic representation. The resulting work, a 212-page book, was donated to the Real Gabinete Portugus de Leitura in Rio de Janeiro.By transcribing one of the world's most enduring love stories with its equally enduring pen, BIC makes a compelling case for the Cristal's legacy. Besides reminding viewers of how good blue ink looks on paper, the experiment explores the role of automation in creative processes particularly relevant as businesses navigate the balance between embracing advancements in AI and maintaining a human touch.
