Despite a previous published commitment to bringing both AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support to selected 2018 TV models, LG now says that it has no plans to do so.
Despite recently bringing the Apple TV app to selected 2018 television sets, LG has now reversed its decision about supporting HomeKit and AirPlay 2 on those models.
Previously, LG committed to adding support to smart TV models including its “SK” and “UK” LED sets, plus the “B8” through “Z8” OLED ones. The support was due to come by October 2020, but now a support representative has told a user that no such support is coming at all.
Hi there, LG has no plans to update its pre-2019 TVs with Airplay2 or Homekit unfortunately. Apologies for the inconvenience caused!
As spotted by MacRumors, this tweet dates from a week ago but is now being followed by complaints from owners of 2018 TV sets as the information spreads.
Reportedly, the initial promise on LG’s website was accompanied by references within support documents. However, those were allegedly removed shortly afterwards.
LG made no public announcement about reneging on the HomeKit or AirPlay 2 support and as yet has not commented beyond its one tweeted response.
Shantae will be re-released on the Game Boy Color and is also receiving a Nintendo Switch release, while Risky’s Revenge is going straight to the hybrid platform.
Next week, on 11th September, all three of these games will be available to pre-order. There’ll be collectors and standard editions available. Of course, the fancier and more expensive versions come with a lot of extra goodies. Here’s a look:
While it might seem like slim pickings at the moment when it comes to major upcoming releases for the Nintendo Switch, there are still a handful of exciting third-party games on the way to the hybrid system – including one particular remaster.
If you’re seeking otherShin Megami Tensei games – you can always check out the original Super Famicom title on the Japanese Nintendo Switch Online service, or hold out for Shin Megami Tensei V instead – which is receiving a global launch on the Switch next year. Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster will also be released worldwide next year.

New grants aim to help job-seekers needing digital skills
In the spring of 2000, a young man walked into the Inner-City Computer Stars office in Chicago, determined to join this nonprofit’s digital skills training program and build a future for himself in technology. But first he had to prove that he was ready for that journey.
“He was 17 or 18 years old when he applied,” recalls Sandee Kastrul, the CEO and a founder of i.c.stars. Kastrul says she asked him to “go and build a website and come back.” So he did. “And this was back in the day, 20 years ago, so he had all these floppy disks with his code on it to show us what he had built. It was pretty incredible, and we said, ‘All right, we’ve got to have this kid joining the cohort.’”
Today, that young man, Kevin Gates, is a principal cloud solution architect at Microsoft. Gates remembers his first conversation with i.c.stars. He says he heard “HTML” mentioned for the first time. It sparked his curiosity, and learning to build a website was the beginning of a new chapter for Gates: “i.c.stars helped me stumble on what was a passion of mine, and that passion has led to a career. There is no doubt I would not be where I am without the program. I never would have imagined having the life I have without i.c.stars,” he says.
I.c.stars is a rigorous, tech-focused program that provides young adults from low-income communities with the tools to develop the technical and leadership skills needed for a career in technology, a field that continues to lack diversity and be in high demand.
Programs like this are vital to accelerating the distribution of digital skills. On Wednesday, Microsoft launched a new community skills grant program, part of the company’s commitment to racial equity and digital skills. It will include a $15 million investment over three years for Black- and African American-led nonprofits that are working to increase skill development and economic opportunities. The program includes grants, leadership development and technology enablement.
Research shows that companies with diverse leadership are more likely to be profitable. Despite this knowledge, the workplace does not reflect this.
There are several issues with hiring that further lock in inequality, says Byron Auguste, the CEO and co-founder of Opportunity@Work, an organization focused on economic inclusion. Auguste is a member of the advisory board for Microsoft’s community skills program that supports nonprofits in Black and African American communities.
One of the issues is the idea that you need a certain background to do a job. Auguste, however, thinks qualifications are what should matter. “If you can do the job, you should be able to get the job,” he says.
A part of the solution is building access to larger talent pools like i.c.stars does. Auguste says that often employers hire someone great and think that they just got lucky.
“Actually, they’re one of millions, not one in a million,” he says. The only way to get to the millions of talented people who are shut out, he continues, is by enabling not just one individual at a time, but via training programs and talent sources like these.
Microsoft’s skills initiative, of which this program is a part, hopes to help 25 million people around the world secure digital skills. In June, Microsoft made a public commitment to be more inclusive as an employer and to extend Microsoft’s support and outreach programs in Black and African American communities. As part of this, Microsoft’s community skills program will provide financial grants and tech enablement to community-based nonprofits reaching 5 million unemployed workers who need it most.
Naria Santa Lucia, general manager at Microsoft and lead on the larger skills initiative, explains the thinking behind this program: “It was designed with internal and external voices focused on community at the table. In addition to cash investments, we’re acting as a convener to bring together these organizations to share best practices.”
A part of this community-based skills program includes what Santa Lucia calls “a community of practice.” It offers a space for community leaders to come together and discuss concerns and issues they are having while Microsoft helps navigate solutions including tech enablement. The program aims to build up leadership in these programs but also individual nonprofit’s capabilities to help them further serve their communities.
“There are a lot of programs supporting skills, but this is explicitly supporting a level of capacity building, too,” observes Auguste. “The seeds of success are there, but there’s much more to be done to scale these programs up.”
YouTube Video
Paying it forward
I.c.stars interviews hundreds of potential candidates for each training cycle. Participants complete a two-year program that involves more than 1,000 hours of practical experience and advancing their public speaking skills – because Kastrul believes that technical skills aren’t enough on their own.
“I want people to be great technologists,” she says. “I want them to be able to solve complex problems, build awesome solutions, using systems thinking, but I also want people to be able to connect to what’s important, connect to the larger picture and to figure out, ‘How do I make opportunities for others?’”
That sense of paying it forward within a community runs deep through i.c.stars and organizations like it. It’s why recent alumni such as Ernest Roberts say they devote so much of their spare time to supporting new interns as well as their peers.
“We all help each other,” says Roberts. “It does create this community of those who successfully complete the program and continue on – we’re all together. It’s been two years, and if it wasn’t for quarantine, I’d still be going back almost every day.” He now serves as president of the alumni association.
Roberts believes that i.c.stars changed his life. Before the program, he worked at a distribution center in Mississippi – a state where he said he found limited opportunities to work in technology.
“That was a huge thing for me in Mississippi, because there’s no real technology hub, no technology jobs,” he says. “So now, I started thinking, as I’ve been going through i.c.stars, about how can I bring this into Mississippi, where kids don’t know that they don’t have to be a truck driver? You don’t have to be a farmer. You don’t have to be a warehouse worker. You can actually go and do other things and get paid for your mind instead of your physical body.”
Now working as a developer for a global financial services firm, Roberts says his outlook has been transformed: “I was living check to check,” he says. “Now, I can save up. Now, I can go ahead and start that bank account for my son that I thought about. I can start building for the future, where I was only living in the present.”
Realizing your potential
For another recent alum, i.c.stars has provided confidence. LaTonya Judkins had also worked in shipping and receiving, and since completing the i.c.stars program in 2019, has found a role at a sports data analytics firm – an ideal match for this basketball player who says she has always been tech savvy.
“I thought other people do software engineering, but I didn’t think that I would do it,” she says, “because I don’t have the education, the background, I’m not already into it. I figured that people that do software engineering, you have to have started doing it since you were a kid, and have to know a lot of stuff in order to do it. So, going through i.c.stars, they teach you that you can teach yourself how to do these things that everybody else does, and you can be successful doing it.”
“In technology, in corporate America – I’m not saying you have to fit in, but you kind of have to find your space, and also be comfortable and see ahead,” she points out. “With i.c.stars, and the program, it explains and it embraces diversity and inclusion – being Black, being a woman.”
The open grant application is how Microsoft Philanthropies says it is exercising its commitment to making access to technology more equitable. The focus is on groups that are based in local communities. Santa Lucia says, “We are looking for those nonprofits with local impact and community-based solutions. We are also looking at nonprofits led by Black and African American members as well as serving the Black and African American communities.”
There are areas across the country that have significant racial disparities in access to education, employment, health care and home ownership. But geography does not mean lack of skill, or lack of ambition, and it is the talent embedded in these neighborhoods that technology companies such as Microsoft hope to find and help flourish.
Gates says, “Microsoft has always been conscious about the impact the employees have in the communities where they live. I believe being able to make an impact in smaller communities is critical.”

Stasis Spotlight: Warlock Shadebinder
Welcome to the first in a series of Stasis spotlight
articles, where we’ll be taking a look at Stasis via each of the three Guardian
classes in Destiny 2. Stasis is the first new elemental power to Destiny since the original trio of Arc, Solar, and Void, and its introduction in Beyond
Light will have ramifications for players across all aspects of the game,
from narrative to combat , to the way in which players will customize their
Guardians.
Each Guardian class will feature a new Stasis subclass with Beyond
Light and, as you might expect, each class will use Stasis in a unique way.
Stasis is the domain of control; an elemental power that is less about outright
aggression and more about careful control of enemy combatants and space — sometimes
even using the powers of Stasis in a defensive way. Hunters zipping by in the
blink of an eye while slowing down opponents in Stasis fields. Titans smashing
their fists to the ground, launching jagged eruptions of Stasis crystals from
the earth.
No matter which class you prefer, Stasis will change the way
you play Destiny 2.
By commanding Stasis in Beyond Light, players will
have access to new powers that change their approach to a fight. In combat,
Stasis can manifest in multiple ways, including freezing or slowing opponents,
creating crystalline Stasis structures, and even shattering frozen combatants.
This range of options give players more ability to control large-scale fights
than ever before.
No class embodies the concept of “freezing” better than the
Warlock Shadebinder. Imbued by Stasis energy, the Shadebinder can summon a
Stasis staff that fires projectiles which can freeze opponents, immediately
rendering them immobile. The Shadebinder’s Penumbral Blast melee attack is a quick
burst of Stasis energy that erupts from the staff and instantly freezes anyone it
hits. From there, the Warlock can either deal with the frozen foes, or leave
them be and move on to other more immediate threats.
If you’re looking to combine freezing with destruction, look
no further than the Shadebinder’s Super: Winter’s Wrath. Here, the Shadebinder summons their Stasis staff and fires projectiles that instantly freeze
opponents. The second stage begins (and the fight ends) when the Guardian raises
the staff, detonates its Stasis crystal and sends a devastating Shatter
Shockwave that disintegrates nearby frozen opponents.
Customizing Stasis
If you’ve played Destiny for long enough, you know
that choosing the right subclass for each situation can be crucial to the
outcome of a fight. Titans have their bubbles, Warlocks have their Wells;
skilled Guardians know how important those abilities can be in a pinch. With Beyond
Light and Stasis, we’re giving you even more flexibility to customize your
subclass to your style of play.
Each Stasis subclass in Beyond Light will give
players the ability to customize abilities like grenades, movement modes, class
abilities, and so on with. In addition, we’ve added new layers of customization
with the addition of Aspects and Fragments.
Aspects manifest as physical items in the world (such as a
crystallized Vex conflux or a robotic Fallen arm, for example). When slotted
in, Aspects will offer players new abilities, among other effects. These
abilities can be mixed and matched freely by the player. Many Aspects will have
space for Fragments to be slotted in. Fragments are also physical items you can
discover in the world that, when applied to Aspects, offer additional passive
perks such as stat bonuses that may come with penalties. Aspect upgrades are
unique to each Stasis subclass, while Fragment slots are class agnostic; how
players combine these two different types of upgrades will lead to a range
of customization options.
For example, a Warlock finds a Frostpulse Aspect in the
world and equips it. This Aspect augments their Rift ability, which now freezes
any enemies caught in the field. The Frostpulse Aspect also has a Fragment slot
available, allowing further customization. This Warlock decides to slot in the
Whisper of Refraction Fragment that replenishes some of their class ability
energy upon shattering enemies. They have now set themselves up with a nice 1-2
punch and, if played skillfully, can use this combo frequently.
With its focus on freezing and shattering, the Shadebinder subclass promises to give Guardians yet another reason to love their
floaty, book-loving Warlocks. But no matter what class you like, all players
will be able to take advantage of Aspects and Fragments that unlock even more
ways to make your Guardian yours.
In our next article, coming this Thursday, we’ll be pointing
the Stasis spotlight at the class that loves to punch first and ask questions
later: the Titan Behemoth. In the meantime, check out the Stasis hub page to learn more about Stasis.
