Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8 can already track your heart rate, sleep and workouts. But that's not enough information about you, apparently. Its Antioxidant Index turns a five-second thumb scan into a score from 0 to 100.

Romanian director Florin Şerban’s “You Don’t Belong Here,” a somber study of anti-Roma racism in the country, has taken the Golden Lion for best film in the International Competition at the Locarno Film Festival, along with a special mention for its young star Teodor Butănescu. The film emerged victorious in a lineup of 17 features at the Swiss fest, including new works by auteurs including Hong Sangsoo, Denis Côté, Ann Oren and Nelson Yeo. It was awarded by a jury headed by Belgian filmmaker Fabrice Du Welz; his fellow jurors included actors Paulina Garcia and Lolita Chammah, producer Marco Alessi and Arte France Cinéma executive director Olivier Père.

Senior reviewer Sam Rutherford explained that the ideal formula would've been a similar design to the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 with the increased performance of the Ultra model. "In the end, my issue with the Z Fold 8 Ultra doesn't really have anything to do with the device itself," he said. "Instead, my gripe is what the phone could have been."

Immersive sims like Dishonored and Deus Ex are typically solo experiences, but there have been a few attempts to bring multiplayer into the mix over the years. System Shock 2 featured an infamously wonky cooperative mode that was overhauled in last year's Nightdive remaster, while Arkane's Deathloop successfully folded an invasion mechanic into its mix of roguelike running and emergent sneaking.

Prosecutors revived a theory in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial case this week, suggesting she had faked a suicide attempt after allegedly strangling her three children.

While prosecutors have been arguing that Clancy acted intentionally and should be held criminally responsible, her defense has said she suffered from postpartum psychosis.

The 26-year-old striker cost the Ligue 1 champions a reported 50 million euros ($58m) and has signed a five-year deal.
