The new shoes feature deeper-treaded rubber soles and reinforced uppers while retaining the brand's signature look. The move marks a clear shift in the brand's image towards outdoor activity.

Should Vans expand into the outdoor footwear segment?

Perfectionism as fear: why young people are terrified of making mistakes

Perfectionism as fear: why young people are terrified of making mistakes

Perfectionism is often listed as a strength on a CV, but it can mask a deep fear of failure rather than a genuine drive for excellence. Young people are growing up in a culture of constant evaluation — at school, at work and on social media — which reinforces the belief that any mistake can be catastrophic. This mindset leads to chronic stress and decision paralysis rather than real personal growth.

Is the culture of constant evaluation damaging young people's mental health?

Baldur's Gate 3 praised for queer rep, but AAA games can still do more for lesbian stories

The piece was published as the conclusion of Eurogamer's seventh annual Pride Week. Ellis calls on mainstream game developers to be bolder in their LGBTQ+ storytelling.

Should AAA games dedicate more space to lesbian stories?

Steam Machine shows Red Line of Death after just 20 minutes of use

Reddit user me_hill posted footage showing their new Steam Machine displaying the Red Line of Death — an error indicating a GPU failure — within just 20 minutes of first use. The fault occurred while installing an update for No Man's Sky. The situation is particularly troubling because the Steam Machine's GPU is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced by the user. Valve opened reservations for the device only late last month.

Should Valve make the Steam Machine's GPU user-replaceable?

Gen Z invests more cautiously than assumed — data from thousands of accounts

An analysis of thousands of brokerage accounts at Trade Republic by Poland country manager Kamil Szymański shows that Gen Z investors are more cautious than commonly assumed. Cryptocurrencies do not dominate their portfolios; instead, young investors tend to favour ETFs and blue-chip stocks. The popular narrative of Gen Z as reckless speculators does not fully match the actual data.

The new rules would be modelled on international standards and, in most cases, would require an assessment of a patient's functional independence before they qualify for rehabilitation. The proposal is currently at the consultation stage.
