Sega sends private detective after collector over £10k games haul Darius Khan, 32, spent almost £10,000 on prototype consoles and games left at Sega's former UK headquarters - then found himself being raided by police.

From last week: Sega sent a private detective after a collector who bought dev kits and prototype games it left in its old office in Chiswick.

Does it warrant a criminal investigation - or is Sega in the wrong?

Why beautiful people who don't exist are invading your social media Their creators stand to make money from their use, even as psychologists and experts sound the alarm over the effects these flawless sirens stand to have on real people.

Spoke w/ @jonbrady.bsky.social for this @dailymail.co.uk piece about #AI #influencers, discussing the precarity of (human) creator work. I argue that bypassing creators via sanitised & unattainable AI influencers dismisses the efforts & creativity of their labour www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Moment BBC journalists are chased out of anti-migrant hotel protest Video shared on social media by conservative campaign group Turning Point UK showed activists approaching a journalist and camera operator in Portsmouth.

Horrible to see protesters gang up on journalists like this who are just doing their job - rightly condemned by @nujofficial.bsky.social today dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Some more public service journalism. A survey of 2,000 British people has led to the conclusion that this is the true North-South divide, snaking around the West Midlands before cutting across to East Anglia. Why? Chips.

PS: not sorry

The gadgets at the disposal of Britain's most high-tech police force The future of law enforcement is less Robocop and more mobile phone apps and dash cams - but nevertheless, new technology is keeping officers out on the streets.

Will Lilo & Stitch remake succeed after 'woke' Snow White flopped? Snow White brought in an underwhelming $204.8 million (£152million) of box office takings against a $270million budget. Can Lilo and Stitch, out today, reverse the trend?

As Lilo and Stitch hits cinemas today, I spoke to some film analysts to work out whether Disney's ailing remake strategy can be salvaged: mol.im/a/14591443 via @dailymail.co.uk

Why Jeremy Vine has stopped making cycling videos on social media Speaking to MailOnline, Vine said that the recent theft of his bicycle gave him pause for thought on whether he ought to continue making himself a target for online vitriol.
