The sweeping legal proceedings could have profound consequences for the company. The attorneys general say that if Meta is found liable, damages could be as high as $200bn – equivalent to the company’s 2025 annual revenue. The lawmakers are also asking that Meta be compelled to change the design of its products to make them safer for children, which may have longer-term effects than a fine.

• What is Meta accused of? The 233-page lawsuit, first filed in October 2023, alleges that Meta regularly collects data on children under the age of 13 without parental permission. The lawmakers claim in court documents that Meta “refuses to abandon its use of known harmful features” and that its motives are based solely on profit.

• How has Meta responded? Meta denies all allegations and says: “Rather than sticking to the facts or the law, the states have instead decided to chase an outlandish payout. The state AGs may call this a landmark case, but their limited claims are unsubstantiated and their financial demands are vastly disproportionate.”

Trump dismisses USS Lincoln criticism and snaps at CNN reporter to ‘be quiet’

Donald Trump claimed he had third-hand reports that the USS Abraham Lincoln is “beautifully maintained” despite extensive accounts of deteriorating living conditions during its lengthy deployment in the strait of Hormuz.

The Navy Times and Stars and Stripes – the latter notably under increased control of the Pentagon as a defense publication – have largely confirmed reports of the Lincoln’s conditions. The publications described shortages of supplies and water and plumbing problems. Several sailors have attempted to leap from the ship according to their reports, prompting Democratic lawmakers to demand answers from the Pentagon.

At the White House the president berated CNN reporter Kristen Holmes insisting that she “be quiet” and describing the reporting as fake news. The White House also attacked Holmes in social media posts, calling her “callous and vindictive”.

• Why have conditions onboard the ship become contentious? The Lincoln, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier left port from San Diego on 21 November 2025 and has now set a modern record for the longest time at sea without a port call. It has been more than 250 days since it has touched land.

• What else is causing concern with US navy ships? A US guided-missile destroyer reportedly spent four days adrift and without power in the South China Sea in July. The USS Benfold was reported to have been towed to Subic Bay in the Philippines.

South Korea president calls for military independence in wake of Trump call to cut joint drills

South Korea’s president ⁠has renewed his push to regain independent control of the military from the US in the event of war and urged faster progress in acquiring nuclear-powered submarines after Donald Trump’s order to cut joint drills.

Lee Jae Myung said on Tuesday that Seoul should ​proceed without disruption with ‌the planned transfer, during his term, of ‌wartime operational control of South Korean forces from the US – a goal he and the government have long held.

• Why does the US have operational control of South Korea’s forces? The issue dates back to the Korean war, which ended without a formal peace treaty in 1953, meaning the two Koreas remain technically at war. The authority to direct South Korean forces if fighting resumes still rests with the US. Seoul regained peacetime control of its own military in 1994, but wartime authority has become a potent symbol of national sovereignty.

Luigi Mangione New York murder trial postponed after guilty plea in federal case

A New York state ⁠judge ⁠effectively ​postponed Luigi Mangione’s trial on murder and weapons charges over ⁠the 2024 killing of a health insurance company CEO, after Mangione pleaded ⁠guilty last week to separate federal charges.

The ​trial had ‌previously been ‌scheduled to begin on 8 September. Mangione ‌has pleaded not guilty to the state charges. Mangione’s lawyers on Friday asked New York state justice Gregory Carro ‌to dismiss the charges. They argued that Mangione should not have to ​be punished for the same conduct twice.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis will include an RPG-like skill tree, herb brewing and a new chargeable focus meter in its reimagining of the series' first game.

The remake, which is in development at Trek to Yomi studio Flying Wild Hog, in collaboration with the series' lead studio Crystal Dynamics, updates the franchise's iconic original adventure with snazzy new visuals and gameplay more familiar to modern audiences.

A new video detailing Legacy of Atlantis' combat and progression has now gone into detail on this gameplay, which includes elements inspired by the more recent Tomb Raider reboot trilogy. For example, a skill tree has been revealed that shows how players will redeem in-game artifacts for skill points, which unlock a web of weapon upgrades and ability improvements. These include reduced damage and improved healing. You can also collect and brew herbs for various buffs.

"When I played the Survivor series and I could suddenly affect and increase Lara's power in the game, I felt much more engaged," design director Jason Epps said. Another new system, Focus, will allow players to pull off some of Lara Croft's more acrobatic manoeuvers and also go into a kind of bullet time, game director Raul Siqueira revealed.

"We're introducing a system called Focus," Siqueira said. "The idea behind it is that when you're doing actions in combat, when you're taking damage, dealing damage, dodging attacks, you're building your Focus meter. Focus allows you to slow down time around you and showcase some the things that Lara used to do in 1996. The acrobatic component of Lara Croft is really important for the character, so we wanted to make sure there was a way on the sticks for this to be celebrated."

While video game remakes take different approaches to modernizing their source material, these new systems have raised the eyebrows of some veteran Tomb Raider fans who had seen Legacy of Atlantis as a return to the franchise's more traditional routes, away from the more RPG-like reboot trilogy.

Exactly how it will all feel on the sticks remains to be seen, however. Following a recent delay, the game will now launch on February 12, 2027. Crystal Dynamics' all-new Tomb Raider: Catalyst will then follow in 2028.

That's according to Colorful, which shared the accomplishment on Chinese social media site Weibo (via TechPowerUp).

The company says: "Following its impressive overclocking results of 8600 MT/s and 8800 MT/s, the Colorful iGame X870E VULCAN W OC motherboard has achieved another breakthrough, successfully reaching a high frequency of 9000 MT/s when paired with iGame Shadow II 24G×2 domestically produced memory chips, unlocking a new height in the overclocking field of domestically produced memory chips on the AM5 platform."

So, that's 48 GB of "domestically produced", ie, Chinese, DDR5 RAM hitting 9,000 MT/s. Admittedly, we're far beyond that with Western memory, having hit over 8,700 MT/s all the way back in 2021 and 10,000 MT/s the following year. Now, we're at over 13,000 MT/s.

Still, 9,000 is an achievement for Chinese memory and shows how fast the country is progressing in its DRAM development. In fact, Asus ROG also recently shared that Chinese memory now works at 6,000 MT/s with low CAS latency timings of C28 and C30. Notably, this is exactly the kind of fast DDR5 RAM we like to buy for gaming PCs in the West: DDR5-6000 memory with low latency.

The main Chinese memory maker is CXMT, and we've recently seen the company's shares surge as it continues to collect more of the global memory market. This is possible because there's just so much demand for memory these days, thanks to the AI boom, that demand far outstrips supply and will do for quite some time.

Importantly for us gamers, we've even started seeing Chinese RAM land in laptops from companies such as HP, Asus, and Acer, but only in the Chinese market. Even if Chinese RAM only ends up in the Chinese market, however, CXMT's expansion still makes for more memory supply globally, and any dent in demand can't be a bad thing for prices.

Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.

But there's me putting my hopeful face on again. The fact that demand will outstrip supply is said to be accounting for CXMT's growth, too, so let's not get carried away. We're still in it for the long haul.

Behind the doors sit 24 beers spanning BrewDog's best-known names and a wave of new and seasonal releases, including Punk IPA, Lost Lager, Hazy Jane, Wingman, Elvis Juice, Hazy Jane Tropical, Juice Shack, Palm Break, Emerald Daze, and many more. Every calendar also includes a brand-new Harmony glass, exclusive to this year's edition and made to keep long after the last beer has gone.

Among the seasonal line-up, three releases stand out:

• Hoppy Christmas (6.0% ABV) – everyone's festive favourite. Buckle up for this seasonal Simcoe sled ride: a fruity festive fellow delivering an all-out Blitzen of citrus flavour by the sack load, with citrus and tropical fruit on the nose, tangy citrus, papaya and pineapple across the palate, all resting on a firm malty base. A happy but bitter end awaits.
   
• Jingle Juice (5.2% ABV) – forget sleigh bells, this is a hop hit with naughty-list energy. Tropical hops give juicy pineapple with a sticky edge, rolling into Seville orange and apricot warmth, like mulled fruit for the hazy beer crowd.
   
• Cocoa Reserve (8.0% ABV) – a decadent chocolate vanilla stout loaded with layers of roasted hazelnut, smooth vanilla and rich cocoa. Backed by a deep malt bill delivering notes of dark toffee, caramel and freshly baked goodies, malted oats bring a velvety mouthfeel, while Columbus hops keep things balanced with a subtle earthy bite.

Lauren Carrol, Chief Commercial Officer at BrewDog , said: “Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a countdown, and this year we wanted to really sprinkle some BrewDog magic. We've taken the artwork straight off our bar walls and brewery floor and put it on the calendar itself, so it's not just what's inside that's special this year, it's the whole thing. Twenty-four days, twenty-four craft beers, and hopefully twenty-four small reasons to love Christmas a little bit more.”

This year’s box design has been newly illustrated, taking its cues from BrewDog's bars and brewery taps. The calendar is one to add to the wish list early – an easy tick for partners, dads, brothers, friends, or anyone who always says they don't want anything.

Craft beer fans who get-in early are also in for a treat between 7 September and 11 October 2026 will receive a £10 voucher to spend on a subsequent online order. The offer is open to UK residents aged 18 or over, carries a £30 minimum spend excluding delivery, and is valid on the BrewDog UK online shop until 31 December 2026.
