GTA 6 leaks - a nightmare or a blip for the biggest video game of the year?
It's been more than 18 months since the last trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was released. A few weeks ago, developer Rockstar announced it would break its long silence with a special extended look at the highly anticipated video game in a 30-minute special on Netflix. But the run-up to the splashy preview has been potentially overshadowed by a string of apparent leaks which appear to show footage of GTA 6 in action. Rockstar has not publicly acknowledged the clips, nor replied to any requests for comment, since the first leaks appeared on Wednesday. But there's plenty to suggest the material that's been posted online is genuine.
Tesla's Door Handles Lead to Its Biggest Recall Yet
Tesla's Door Handles Lead to Its Biggest Recall Yet A Chinese agency says the two recalls affecting some 3 million vehicles can mostly be fixed by over-the-air updates--but they will also require physical warning stickers and camera-related updates. Government regulators have spent the last year asking serious questions about Tesla's electronic, retractable door handles, a cool-looking automotive design flourish that has since been imitated by plenty of competitors. The handles have been blamed, in the US and in China, for making it difficult for passengers to quickly exit vehicles, and for impeding rescue efforts. A handful of crash victims' families have even filed lawsuits against Tesla, alleging the door handle designs played roles in their loved ones' deaths. Now the door handles have led to Tesla's largest recall ever--and China's.
These bookshops let Chinese readers question their country - now the doors are closing
When Chen Zhu heads to Hong Kong from mainland China every month, there's one place she always goes: Hunter Bookstore. Founded four years ago by a former councillor, the independent bookshop has earned a reputation for stocking what authorities would consider sensitive books - accounts of Hong Kong's pro-democracy campaigners to famous allegories on authoritarianism, such as George Orwell's Animal Farm or Hajime Isayama's Manga series Attack on Titan. It's a short journey from Zhu's home in Guangzhou on China's southern coast to the crowded street in Hong Kong's Sham Shui Po district, where Hunter is sandwiched between fabric sellers, garages and trendy cafes. But, for the 23-year-old, it is also a passage into a different, freer world - where she can find answers to forbidden questions. When she learned the bookshop had been raided by police in late June, Zhu broke into tears: I was devastated.
