ROBLOX is finally going to add voice chat to the game – after years of only offering text. Here's a quick guide on everything we know about the upgrade so far. What is Roblox voice chat? Roblox is a wildly popular "building" game like Minecraft. Until now, players could only communicate via text – but that's about to change. "Text chat is the core of Roblox communication today," said Roblox engineering chief Adam Miller. "In the future, we expect to open up communication through safe voice chat." There's no official release date for voice chat. Is Roblox voice chat safe? While most fans are happy about voice chat, there are some concerns around safety for younger players. We still don't have all the details on how the system works. Until then, it's impossible to say if it's safe for youngsters. And arguably no online communication system is truly ever safe – for kids or adults. But Roblox is at least thinking about safety, security and privacy. … [Read more...] about Is Roblox adding voice chat? Release date and fan reaction

Budget 2021 summary: Key announcements at a glance as Covid spending hits £407bn
Tory Rishi Sunak today announced changes to tax, furlough and Stamp Duty in his 2021 Budget . The Chancellor said he must take "unpopular" and "honest" decisions as he reversed some Tory Corporation Tax cuts and cancelled an Income Tax break for millions of Brits. He warned next year borrowing will hit £234bn or 10.3% of GDP - “an amount so large it has only one rival in recent history, this year”. And Covid spending including fiscal support has hit £407bn.

He also extended several breaks and Covid support schemes beyond the end of the roadmap. Mr Sunak said more than 700,000 people have lost their jobs since March and the economy has fallen by more than 10% - the fastest fall in more than 300 years. “It’s going to take this country and the whole world a long time to recover from this extraordinary … [Read more...] about Budget 2021 summary: Key announcements at a glance as Covid spending hits £407bn
Amazon changes its logo AGAIN after it was trolled for ‘looking like Adolf Hitler’
AMAZON has changed its logo AGAIN after it was trolled for "looking like Adolf Hitler". The new design is tweaked to remove any similarity to former Nazi chief. Amazon's mobile logo has looked rubbish for years, so a new version was rolled out in January. The image was meant to resemble one of the US shopping giant's brown delivery boxes emblazoned with its "smile" logo. But jokesters on social media thought the new logo looked just like a grinning Fuhrer. Now Amazon has tweaked the logo's "moustache" to make it look a little less Third Reich. A strip of the firm's recognisable bright blue tape spills over the top of the box. A handful of Twitter users saw the icon a little differently, however. They reckoned the symbol looked like the bottom half of Hitler's face, with the tape representing the genocidal dictator's famous trimmed moustache. "Amazon isn't pulling any punches with its new Hitler-stache logo, eh?" one tweeter wrote on Tuesday. Another Twitter … [Read more...] about Amazon changes its logo AGAIN after it was trolled for ‘looking like Adolf Hitler’
