The Witcher 3 is coming to the Nintendo Switch in October, the perfect game to give you that Halloween inspiration!

What you need to know

The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch will include everything: including expansions Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine.
You can pre-order it now on Amazon

It is being released on October 15th, 2019.
We’ve known that The Witcher 3 was coming to the Nintendo Switch for a little while now, but no release date has officially been given by CD Projekt RED — until now. Thanks to Gamescom’s opening show, we now know that the Witcher 3 (also known as The Switcher) is being released on October 15th, 2019.

Of course, some people may be worried about the visuals of The Witcher 3. There are some compromises, but it has been confirmed that The Witcher 3 will run at 720p docked, and at 540 during the handheld mode. But even with these visual compromises, The Witcher 3 still should be on your radar if you want your Switch to be jam-packed with a thrilling RPG.

Apple has apparently unpatched a vulnerability in iOS 12.4.
This has prompted a new public jailbreak to be released.
Security researchers are warning the unpatched vulnerability could lead to big problems for iPhone users.
A vulnerability that Apple previously patched has reportedly been mistakenly unpatched in iOS 12.4, making it possible to jailbreak modern iPhones.

According to Motherboard, security researchers discovered Apple’s snafu over the weekend. A jailbreak from Pwn20wnd was then released on Monday, making it the first time a jailbreak has been publicly released in several years.

These days, jailbreaks are apparently kept private in an effort to keep Apple from discovering and patching exploits. As Motherboard points out, major iPhone exploits can sell for millions of dollars.

The latest jailbreak can supposedly be used with any device running iOS 12.4 and below. That’s a big problem…

Former Siri team leader Bill Stasior has joined Microsoft’s AI team.
He was previously at Apple for nearly seven years.
He will now report directly to Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott.
Bill Stasior served on Apple’s Siri team for nearly seven years.

Former Siri vice president Bill Stasior is joining Microsoft’s AI team, according to a new report from The Information. Stasior was previously on Apple’s Siri team for nearly seven years before departing back in January.

Stasior joined Apple back in 2012 as part of the fairly new Siri team. Over the course of his time with the team, Siri made vast improvements but was never able to reach its true potential. Eventually Apple’s voice assistant was surpassed by Google Assistant and has trailed ever since, though the gap has closed recently.

It’s unclear if the lack of traction in the voice assistant battles was the reason for Stasior’s departure. He will now join Microsoft as corporate vice president of technology directly…

He used nothing but an iPad and a DJ app to deliver the musical set to a group of partygoers on a cruise ship.

Most DJs opt for a full laptop to handle their set…
