Ukrainian units withdrew from Vuhledar, Donetsk region, Khortytsia operational-strategic group reported.

KIA cars were built with a back door so that the company's server can locate them and take control of them. The car's owner had access to these controls through the KIA server.

The icing on the Orwellian cake is that the server had a security fault which allowed absolutely anyone to activate those controls for any KIA car. Many …
Final smash.
As previously announced, Masahiro Sakurai’s excellent YouTube channel — which has covered everything from organizing classic games to the nitty gritty of game development — is coming to an end. The silver lining is that the Smash Bros. boss is teasing that a “special finale” is in the works.
