Patreon has plenty of tools to help creators connect with audiences and grow those subscription numbers. However, it has never offered the ability to stream live video content. That’s changing soon. The platform is testing livestreaming with a general rollout planned for summer.
It’s called Live Video and will be available to a “limited group of creators” starting next week as part of a testing phase. Patreon says this feature should help “boost real-time fan engagement and provide new experiences to encourage free-to-paid member conversion.”
The platform looks to have put some thought into this functionality. There are no ads during streams, which is great, and it added some built-in tools to help with real-time engagement. There are real-time chats, which is typical for livestreams, but creators are given “enhanced chat moderation tools” to keep things from blowing up into a toxic hellscape.
Patreon says there will be no third-party tools required by creators or fans and that everything will run in the official app. This will also work on multiple platforms, including mobile and PC. Creators will be able to choose to offer streams to everyone or just to paid members.
The company has some plans to improve the experience down the line. It’s prepping an integration with OBS and Streamlabs to allow for adding co-hosts or to support “sophisticated streaming setups.” It will also allow creators to offer VOD downloads of streams as a one-time purchase or as a gift to fans.
The platform has been busy this past year or two. It recently added a feature to allow fans to purchase access to collections of content without having to pony up for a monthly subscription. It also provided a suite of tools to let creators customize their pages, including the layout, colors and how posts display.

EU regulations around ebikes could be set to change, potentially altering their classification as bicycles.
Several EU ministries announced before the 2024 European Parliament elections that vehicle regulations would be revised, leading to changes in ebike regulations. But the success of electric bikes could be seen as depending on their equal legal status to bicycles.
This is the view, at least, of ZIV (Zweirad Industrie Verband), the German cycling industry association. Last week, ZIV published a position paper setting out what it believes should be the future ebike regulations.

ZIV’s chief technology officer, Tim Salatzki, says in the position paper that ebikes “are the most important driver of electric mobility with almost 16 million now on the roads in Germany”.
Salatzki says ebikes are a key component of “the mobility transition” and the most popular recreational vehicle, making them decisive to the success of the German bicycle industry.
“The success of ebikes depends on their equal legal status to bicycles. To ensure this equality in the long term, we propose more precise parameters for this type of vehicle,” says Salatzki.
The equal status of ebikes – which are legally designated Electrically Powered Assisted Cycles (EPACs) – and human-powered bicycles is based on their comparable riding characteristics, where the cyclist’s pedalling has a direct influence on riding behaviour and movement.
Limiting the assistance power of ebikes would also help ensure that EPACs retain their bicycle-like characteristics and do not become subject to the same regulations that apply to mopeds, according to the position paper.
So what are ZIV’s recommendations?
The recommendations, which some have suggested will influence future EU policymaking, define ebikes by the following characteristics:
Support ratio of 1:4 and
Support ratio of 1:6 possible up to max. 15 km/h and
Max. assistance power of 750W at the drive wheel and
Max. weight of 250kg for single-track EPAC or
Max. weight of 300kg for multi-track EPAC
To illustrate its assistance ratio recommendations, ZIV says: “If a cyclist has a power output of 100W, an assistance ratio of 1:4 would mean that the electric motor contributes a maximum of four times this power, i.e. 400W. This would result in a total power output of 500W at the drive wheel.”
What does this mean for ebikes?

ZIV’s recommendations are fairly consistent with current ebike regulations. But there could be consequences for certain ebikes.
For instance, ebikes with motors that provide a greater maximum assistance than 750W would not meet the recommendations. This would include the DJI Avinox motor, used in eMTBs, which has a peak power of 850W and can provide a 30-second boost of 1,000W.
ZIV also says separate framework conditions and parameters must be defined for electric cargo bikes weighing more than 300kg.
Heavy e-cargo bikes with multi-track (or parallel sets of) wheels are increasingly used by delivery companies. They can fit into cycle lanes, yet behave differently to typical ebikes, posing a potential safety risk, which it appears ZIV is considering.
The regulation could also prove restrictive for innovation, according to ebike industry expert Hannes Neupert, who addressed the parameters in a LinkedIn post.
“The 750-watt limit is an attack on people with physical disabilities, children, the elderly, tandem riders, cargo transporters, and families! The ZIV’s stated wishes attempt to preserve the eMTB as a core market for as long as possible! The future of the mobility transition is willingly sacrificed on the altar of quick profit!” Neupert wrote.
Figma has confidentially filed for an IPO with the SEC, marking a major move more than a year after scrapping its $20 billion acquisition deal with Adobe due to regulatory pushback. CNBC reports: Figma’s software is popular among designers inside companies who need to collaborate on prototypes for websites and apps. The company was valued at $12.5 billion in a 2024 tender offer. “There are two paths that venture-funded startups go down,” Dylan Field, Figma’s co-founder and CEO, said in an interview with The Verge last year. “You either get acquired or you go public. And we explored thoroughly the acquisition route.”
The announcement lands at a precarious moment for the tech IPO market, which has been largely dormant since late 2021. The Trump presidency was expected to revive new offerings due to promises of less burdensome regulations.
It can be alarming to find an unknown folder or file on your computer, not least because malware can install temporary files without your knowledge that allow an infection to hide or spread. If you’re a Windows 11 users, the empty “inetpub” that recently appeared on your computer isn’t malicious—and it’s actually critical to patching a security flaw in your system.
The folder, spotted last week by Windows Latest, was created on users’ devices during the most recent Window 11 Patch Tuesday update. It is part of a security fix for an elevation of privilege vulnerability (labeled CVE-2025-21204) in the Windows Update Stack that allows attackers access to modify system files or folders, though Windows Latest reports that Microsoft hasn’t clarified exactly how the folder is related to the patch other than offering “increased protection.”
If you find the inetpub folder on your device, do not delete it. If you already have, do not despair—you can recover it to ensure the vulnerability is patched.
How to recover a deleted “inetpub” folder on Windows 11
If you accidentally deleted the empty inetpub folder on your computer running Windows 11, you need to restore it for the security patch to be effective. While you can normally recover deleted files and folders from the Recycle Bin, File History, or a backup (or using recovery software), there is a specific process to restore the inetpub folder as described by Windows Latest:
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
Click Turn Windows features on or off to pull up a dialog box.
Check the box next to Internet Information Services and click OK.
This will recreate the deleted folder with the same security protections as the original.

xAI has launched a new interface for its Grok chatbot that could be compared to ChatGPT’s Canvas. The Elon Musk-helmed AI company has introduced the first version of Studio, which can generate documents, code and even browser games on a separate window. If you ask Grok to write an essay for you, for instance, you’ll find text formatting buttons (Bold, Italics and Underline) at the top of the interface. You’ll also find a a drop-down menu with header options and buttons to create bullet and numbered lists.
If you ask Grok to write code for you, you’ll immediately see how it runs on a preview tab that you can switch to on the upper part of the interface. In addition to being able to preview HTML, the chatbot can also run and preview Python, C++, Javascript, Typescript and bash scripts. In addition, the company has added Google Drive support for Grok, which now works with documents, spreadsheets and slides. You can upload a spreadsheet and ask it to use information from the file to prepare a report for you, complete with charts and illustrations, open an essay you want to edit, or slides you’d like to jazz up. Grok Studio is available for all premium and free users. You don’t have to type in a prompt or click anything to activate it, but you’ll have to sign up for an account and sign in before you can access its features.

This base M3 MacBook Pro configuration gives you an 11-core CPU, a 14-core GPU, 18GB of unified memory, and a 512GB SSD, which is plenty for handling creative workloads like editing 4K video, code compiling, or juggling multiple apps and browser tabs without hitting thermal limits or draining battery in a couple of hours. It runs on macOS Sonoma, has a backlit keyboard, and supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth, though those were already around in the 2021 model.
The display is a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen with a 3024 x 1964 resolution and up to 1000 nits of sustained brightness (which makes a difference if you work outdoors or with HDR content). Colors look vibrant, and Apple’s ProMotion tech keeps things smooth with a 120Hz refresh rate that adjusts dynamically. This helps during video playback or fast-paced visuals, though it won’t make much of a difference for static office work. And while it’s not a touchscreen (something Windows users might miss), the display clarity more than makes up for it in sharpness and depth. Battery life is solid too, with up to 30 hours unplugged, according to this PCMag review.
You’re also getting a more generous port selection than what you’d get on a MacBook Air (speaking of, read why Apple’s newest MacBook Air is the one to buy) or most laptops in this class. There are three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI output, an SDXC card reader, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and MagSafe charging—so dongle life doesn’t have to be your default. If you don’t need a powerhouse for 3D rendering or machine-learning tasks, this M3 Pro version is more than capable. It’s a good fit for creative professionals, developers, gamers trying to get more mileage from the Mac ecosystem, and anyone who doesn’t want to compromise on screen quality or build, but also doesn’t need the fully loaded top-tier models.
In the AI world, a vulnerability called “prompt injection” has haunted developers since chatbots went mainstream in 2022. Despite numerous attempts to solve this fundamental vulnerability—the digital equivalent of whispering secret instructions to override a system’s intended behavior—no one has found a reliable solution. Until now, perhaps.
Google DeepMind has unveiled CaMeL (CApabilities for MachinE Learning), a new approach to stopping prompt-injection attacks that abandons the failed strategy of having AI models police themselves. Instead, CaMeL treats language models as fundamentally untrusted components within a secure software framework, creating clear boundaries between user commands and potentially malicious content.
The new paper grounds CaMeL’s design in established software security principles like Control Flow Integrity (CFI), Access Control, and Information Flow Control (IFC), adapting decades of security engineering wisdom to the challenges of LLMs.
There is a signal, born in the earliest days of the cosmos. It’s weak. It’s faint. It can barely register on even the most sensitive of instruments. But it contains a wealth of information about the formation of the first stars, the first galaxies, and the mysteries of the origins of the largest structures in the Universe.
Despite decades of searching for this signal, astronomers have yet to find it. The problem is that our Earth is too noisy, making it nearly impossible to capture this whisper. The solution is to go to the far side of the Moon, using its bulk to shield our sensitive instruments from the cacophony of our planet.
Building telescopes on the far side of the Moon would be the greatest astronomical challenge ever considered by humanity. And it would be worth it.

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement has called for peaceful protests at this year’s Grand Tours against the participation of Israel–Premier Tech.
In an announcement published yesterday, the BDS Movement says the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta España are allowing “Israel Premier Tech, a cycling team representing Israel, to participate”.
“As Israel escalates its ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza and its violent military occupation of the West Bank, international sporting bodies have a moral obligation to take all measures to prevent genocide, or risk being held criminally liable,” the announcement reads.
The BDS Movement adds that by allowing Israel–Premier Tech to participate in the three Grand Tours, the events are helping Israel “sportswash its grave crimes against Palestinians”.
Sportswashing is typically described as a public relations exercise to use sport to help improve the reputation of a government or state.
Political scientist Jiri Zakravsky, author of Cycling Diplomacy: Undemocratic Regimes and Professional Road Cycling Teams Sponsorship, explained to BikeRadar that the term “is closely connected with governments and governmental activities, especially in the context of human rights”.
Who are Israel–Premier Tech?

Israel–Premier Tech was founded in 2014 and is co-owned by Canadian-Israeli billionaire Sylvan Adams.
Adams has referred to himself as a “self-appointed ambassador at large for the State of Israel”. He drove Israel’s £9m bid to host the start of the 2018 Giro d’Italia and built the region’s first Olympic-standard velodrome in the same year.
Adams has previously said the UCI ProSeries team is apolitical and not a government project, although it receives a “pitiful small amount” of funding from the national tourism board.
Ron Baron, the team’s other co-owner, has described Israel–Premier Tech as a form of “sports diplomacy”. Israeli Guy Niv, who rode for the team from 2018 to 2022 and is a former army sniper, has said every rider on the team understands that “being on an Israeli team, they are ambassadors for the country”.
Adams has described Israel’s genocide against Palestinians as “good vs. evil and civilization against barbarism” and said anti-Israel activity is “aided by useful idiots” in the West.
UCI hypocrisy
Ahead of the Giro d’Italia starting on 9 May, the BDS Movement’s call for protest also accuses the UCI, cycling’s international governing body, of “hypocrisy”.
It says the UCI sanctioned Russia days into its invasion of Ukraine, suspending Russian and Belarusian teams and banning UCI events in Russia and Belarus, but that it has not taken the same measures against Israel.
The BDS Movement claims the UCI “is now helping to sportswash Israel’s Gaza genocide by allowing Israel–Premier Tech to participate” in its events.
The BDS Movement upholds the principle that “Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity”. It was launched by 170 Palestinian unions, refugee networks and other bodies after Palestinian civil society organisations in 2005 called for boycotts, divestment and sanctions as a form of non-violent pressure on Israel.
BikeRadar has contacted Israel–Premier Tech and A.S.O, the organiser of the Tour de France, for comment.
Colnago has unveiled the V5Rs, Tadej Pogaçar and UAE Team Emirates’ new all-round race bike.
The bike represents evolution over revolution, featuring an aerodynamic makeover alongside weight savings, thanks to a refined carbon layup process. It’s the lightest frame Colnago has ever made, saving around 150g compared to the V4Rs.
Nevertheless, the V5Rs could see the end of one of the last ‘pure lightweight’ race bikes in the pro peloton, with Colnago claiming the V5Rs as being its second-most aerodynamic bike ever (after the Y1Rs).
It’s fair to say the V5Rs doesn’t rewrite the rulebook like its most high-profile rider, though – the geometry has been tweaked rather than overhauled and the clearance for 32mm-wide tyres is unchanged.
One notable switch is to a BSA threaded bottom bracket from a T47, and some (if not total) free-of-charge flexibility in rider-fit components is welcome.
The Colnago V5Rs is available in seven specifications, with prices from €10,000 up to €15,400. US and UK model availability and prices vary, but the bike is available from today in all major territories.
The V5Rs looks very similar to the V4Rs, despite being an ‘all-new’ bike. Colnago
“Our sponsored teams didn’t ask for anything specific for the V5Rs,” Colnago’s head of research and development, Davide Fumagalli, says. “Instead, they just asked for a bike that met the latest standards and trends.”
It may come as little surprise, then, that the V5Rs ticks the wide tyre clearance box (officially 32mm with 4mm space between tyre and frameset) and now features a BSA threaded bottom bracket.
Beyond this, Fumagalli’s team sought to develop the V4Rs by improving the old bike’s aerodynamics and weight, while retaining similar stiffness and compliance levels.
The frame has seen an overhaul – it’s 9 watts faster at 50kph and around 150g lighter than the V4Rs. Ashley Quinlan / Our Media
Central to this is a modified carbon layup process, in which polypropylene mandrills are inflated inside the laid-up carbon, which (once cured) produces fewer imperfections in the finished frame compared to using the brand’s previous foam-and-bag technique.
Colnago says every tube on the new frameset is new, and is created in five pieces – the main triangle, plus two seatstays and chainstays – before being bonded together.
Alongside that, Fumagalli says carbon materials have continued to evolve, enabling the brand to shave unnecessary carbon from the frame, while optimising the mix.
Colnago says it has saved on excess material throughout the frame. Ashley Quinlan / Our Media
Where previously the V4Rs used a greater proportion of ‘high strength’ fibres than ‘high modulus’ fibres, this has been reversed for the V5Rs. Generally speaking, this makes the layup stiffer, according to Fumagalli, but meant the brand was able to tweak the tube profiles for aerodynamic gain (more on this to come) and weight loss.
This has seen the bottom bracket area shrink compared to the V4Rs, a contributing factor in the switch to the BSA standard.
A complete frameset ‘kit’ (which includes the derailleur hanger) weighs 1,027g – 146g less than the V4Rs in Colnago’s size 485, which is roughly equivalent to a size 52cm or small for many other brands.
Aero wins… again
The junction of the head tube, seat tube and seatstays has been tidied up, with a newly reprofiled seat tube and seatpost. Ashley Quinlan / Our Media
When Colnago unveiled the Y1Rs aero bike, it effectively affirmed the generally held consensus that aerodynamics are the biggest influence on rider speed – whether you’re Tadej Pogačar or not.
Perhaps expectedly, the V5Rs has seen a major aerodynamic overhaul, using the same CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model, 3D-printing prototyping and wind tunnel pressure mapping techniques developed for the Y1Rs.
This has yielded a narrower head tube with a downsized 1-1/8in upper bearing and thinner fork blades, plus a thinner and deeper profile for the seat tube and seatpost. This remains proprietary, but an evolution of the old D-shape seatpost.
The head tube has been slimmed down for aerodynamic gain. Ashley Quinlan / Our Media
The head tube’s lower bearing remains at 1-1/4in, retaining the use of CeramicSpeed’s SLT (Solid Lubrication Technology).
Colnago claims the frontal area of the bike has been reduced by 13% and that “the aerodynamic performance of the V5Rs is in line with many WorldTour aero bikes”.
Exactly which bikes Colnago is referring to isn’t clear, just as when the brand claimed the Y1Rs was the most efficient bike in the pro peloton.

With a mannequin mounted to the V5Rs, the bike-rider system produces a WAD (wind averaged drag) of 490W at 50kph, according to Colnago (mannequin and bike sizes aren’t declared). This compares to 499W for the V4Rs, while the Y1Rs scored 474W in the same test.
A side benefit of the narrowed profile is said to be increased steering reactivity and control on descents, a desirable outcome given Pogačar’s tendency to attack over summits and carry on.
However, the V5Rs is now firmly considered an all-rounder race bike by Colnago, as opposed to the V4Rs’ less aero-optimised approach.
Sharpened handling?
Colnago claims it has been able to slim down the frame without sacrificing stiffness or compliance. Ashley Quinlan / Our Media
Fumagalli says the V4Rs’ handling was one of its most popular features, but that the construction and aerodynamic changes to the frameset haven’t resulted in a loss of stiffness.
Colnago refers to ‘Real Riding Stiffness’ when it describes frame rigidity, prioritising efficiency when sprinting and climbing seated – both significant strengths of its star rider.
The geometry has been tweaked, though, in an attempt to make the V5Rs “slightly more aggressive and efficient while better accommodating modern riding positions”.
The proprietary seatpost is available in two models, but customers will have to pay to swap to this inline model. 15mm setback is fitted as standard. Ashley Quinlan / Our Media
This starts the introduction of a second fork for the smaller four sizes, with a 47mm rake, helping to keep the handling consistent for those framesets. The three larger frame sizes feature a fork with a 43mm rake.
The head tube and seat tube angles have also been steepened slightly, which promotes a more ‘forward-oriented’ position. It’s worth remembering that Pogačar is notable for this, while the bike is available with a standard 15mm-setback or inline seatpost.
Customers need to purchase the inline seatpost should they require one, but have a free choice of handlebar width (37, 39, 41 and 43cm measured from centre-to-centre) and crank lengths offered by the relevant groupset brand.

Limited Run Games is releasing physical editions of Doom and Doom II, including a $666 “Will it Run Edition” that features a literal game box capable of playing Doom. Engadget reports: It costs $666, which is a nod to the devilish source material, and is being kept to a limited run of 666 copies. It comes with the aforementioned screen-enabled game box that runs Doom, but that’s just the beginning. The combo pack ships with the soundtrack on cassette, a certificate of authenticity and a trading card park with five cards.
It comes with a couple of toys based on one of the franchise’s most iconic enemies. There’s a detailed three-inch Cacodemon that connects to a five-inch base, which looks pretty nifty. There’s a smaller handheld Cacodemon that, you’ll never guess, also runs Doom. This edition is available for Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. The PC version, however, ships with a download code and not physical copies of both games. Preorders start on April 18 and end on May 18, with a release sometime after that.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Fears that smartphones, tablets and other devices could drive dementia in later life have been challenged by research that found lower rates of cognitive decline in older people who used the technology. An analysis of published studies that looked at technology use and mental skills in more than 400,000 older adults found that over-50s who routinely used digital devices had lower rates of cognitive decline than those who used them less. It is unclear whether the technology staves off mental decline, or whether people with better cognitive skills simply use them more, but the scientists say the findings question the claim that screen time drives what has been called “digital dementia”.
“For the first generation that was exposed to digital tools, their use is associated with better cognitive functioning,” said Dr Jared Benge, a clinical neuropsychologist in UT Health Austin’s Comprehensive Memory Center. “This is a more hopeful message than one might expect given concerns about brain rot, brain drain, and digital dementia.” Benge and his colleague Dr Michael Scullin, a cognitive neuroscientist at Baylor University in Texas, analysed 57 published studies that examined the use of digital technology in 411,430 adults around the world. The average age was 69 years old and all had a cognitive test or diagnosis. The scientists found no evidence for the digital dementia hypothesis, which suggests that a lifetime of using digital technology drives mental decline. Rather, they found that using a computer, smartphone, the internet or some combination of these was associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment. The details have been published in Nature Human Behaviour. “Using digital devices in the way that we use televisions — passive and sedentary, both physically and mentally — is not likely to be beneficial,” said Scullin. “But, our computers and smartphones also can be mentally stimulating, afford social connections, and provide compensation for cognitive abilities that are declining with ageing. These latter types of uses have long been regarded as beneficial for cognitive ageing.”
American Airlines announced today that it will add free in-flight Wi-Fi starting in 2026. However, Axios notes you’ll need to be an AAdvantage member (American’s loyalty program) to access it. From the report: American is partnering with AT&T to introduce free WiFi in January. It will be available on about 90% of the airlines’ fleet, which will be planes equipped with Viasat and Intelsat high-speed satellite connectivity, per a press release. More than 500 of the airlines regional planes are expected to have high-speed WiFi capabilities by the end of the year.
Google is rolling out Veo 2 video generation in the Gemini app for Advanced subscribers, allowing users to create eight-second, 720p cinematic-style videos from text prompts. 9to5Google reports: Announced at the end of last year, Veo 2 touts “fluid character movement, lifelike scenes, and finer visual details across diverse subjects and styles,” as well as “cinematic realism,” thanks to an understanding of real-world physics and human motion. In Gemini, Veo 2 can create eight-second video clips at 720p resolution. Specifically, you’ll get an MP4 download in a 16:9 landscape format. There’s also the ability to share via a g.co/gemini/share/ link. To enter your prompt, select Veo 2 from the model dropdown on the web and mobile apps. Just describe the scene you want to create: “The more detailed your description, the more control you have over the final video.” It takes 1-2 minutes for the clip to generate. […]
On the safety front, each frame features a SynthID digital watermark. Only available to Gemini Advanced subscribers ($19.99 per month), there is a “monthly limit” on how many videos you can generate, with Google notifying users when they’re close. It is rolling out globally — in all languages supported by Gemini — starting today and will be fully available in the coming weeks.
