Payday 3's latest trailer went unseen for nearly a week because the devs hid it too well

You might not have known that a brand new Payday 3 trailer had gone live over the past week, because developer Starbreeze did such a good job hiding it.

The latest Payday 3 trailer is all about stealth, and how the developer is bringing it back into the spotlight as a viable strategy during heists. That's actually an improvement over the previous game, where stealth was initially useful, but eventually got nerfed into near-uselessness.

However, Starbreeze may have hidden its new stealth trailer a little too well. By heading to the official Payday 3 website, you can view the gameplay trailer by clicking the large orange play button on the homepage. To view the stealth trailer, you then need to mute the video's audio while watching, and you'll see a silent new trailer superimposed over the old one.

This wasn't immediately obvious, though, and the developers seemed a little taken aback that no one had stumbled across the secret trailer. The official Twitter account even poked fun at its community for being unable to discover it.

When that didn't work, Starbreeze must've thought, with a deep sigh: "fine, here's a hint," posting cryptic poetry on Twitter to help guide fans in the right direction:

"You did nothing wrong, but we've waited so long. Were we mistaken? Should another path have been taken? We have shown you violent, now we try to show you silent Think not like in a riot but try to be quiet Start at the page, turn down the gage or simply drop the burrito and go…"

After that it seemed like the penny finally dropped, though in a digital age where easter eggs are becoming increasingly difficult to hide, we have to give Starbreeze credit for hiding its stealth trailer in plain sight.

Payday 3 launches on September 21, and developer Starbreeze is keen on providing the game with content for years to come. In our interview with the devs, they express how much they'd want to include crossover events featuring Batman and Die Hard's John McClane.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
