Star Wars Battlefront gets a lot right, but here’s what’s still missing

Add as a preferred source on Google

Easily one of the most anticipated games of the year, Star Wars Battlefront has brought The Force to gaming, but it’s also left many gamers conflicted. Though the details of every map, blaster and Stormtrooper help to create an authentic Star Wars experience while playing, post-battle is where some of its flaws are brought to the light. Just weeks into it’s debut it’s already clear that some substantial things are missing from the game that might have a big impact on how long people will continue to play once the dust settles and the new game sheen wears off.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about an app that looks at you through the Mac’s webcam, and as soon as it detects a slouching posture, it sends a notification. The app even logs all the instances and provides a daily posture score. It was an open-source app, but soon after it was shared on Reddit by the creator, a huge chunk of fellow Reddit lurkers started asking about how it processes and stores data. Those were existentially valid queries.

After all, you are giving an app access to the camera, which can monitor you and the world around you in real-time. Is there a backdoor that allows a bad actor to take a sneak peek? What else is the app logging in the background, and how much of the audio-visual stream is being relayed or stored on an external cloud server? Thankfully, the app works fully online, and all the processing happens locally on my Mac. But the sense of unease prevailed.

Fitbit is becoming Google Health, and it’s getting a bunch of wellness upgrades
Google is finally treating health tracking as a platform play, pulling in medical records, third-party fitness data, and AI coaching in a way that Fitbit's standalone app was never built to handle.
New Google Health app.

Google is officially pulling the plug on the Fitbit app, replacing it with the new Google Health app on May 19, 2026. It is quite ironic, as the company just announced a new Fitbit Air screenless fitness tracker, but the change will take place via an OTA update. 

This is happening after Fitbit’s fifteen-year run, wherein it gathered millions of fitness-focused users and provided them with various health trackers and meaningful insights via its software.

You get secrets spilling out all over the internet.

A WIRED report highlights a major security problem around so-called “vibe-coded” apps, which are built using AI development platforms such as Lovable, Replit, Base44, and Netlify.
