One of the highest courts in Europe has described VPNs as “lawful technical tools which users may legitimately use” in a landmark case. The Court of Justice of the European Union made this remark as part of a larger judgement regarding the online publication of The Diary of Anne Frank. The case in question is…
Nvidia’s Arm-based processor for laptops was unveiled after much waiting at Computex back in June. RTX Spark is Nvidia’s first proper go at a consumer chip, combining CPU and GPU, and while it is of course targeted at AI workloads, it’s also targeted at gaming. Now, Nvidia has confirmed which will be the first brands…
Cybersecurity provider Sophos has released a report entitled “The State of Ransomware 2026,” pulling together responses from 2,158 survey participants, ranging from IT directors to company executives, in regards to ransomware incidents. Comparing the results to previous reports indicates that ransom demands themselves are actually decreasing—although 48% of organisations whose data was encrypted paid their…
The Halo: Campaign Evolved release date is imminent, at least if you’re one of those players who’s shelled out some extra cash to get access to the five day long early access period. Having played the whole thing, and seen the somewhat gaudy skins you get for the premium edition, I can’t say I necessarily…
New research explains a method that helps AI make 3D CAD programs from images, which would help product designers and engineers more quickly and easily create 3D prototypes. Naturally, this also sparks deep-rooted dread over it helping robots to build themselves, relegating humanity to the trash. But setting aside my noir nightmares, the new method…
While it’s one of the biggest games this year, new details on Star Wars Zero Company have been few and far between, even after the gameplay trailer at the start of June. That changed yesterday when developer Bit Reactor hosted a Discord Q&A answering the community’s questions on everything from the game’s length to permadeath….
OpenAI has admitted that several of its AI models breached a “highly-isolated” test environment, gained access to the internet, and hacked Hugging Face’s internal network—describing it as an “unprecedented cyber incident.” Hugging Face, an open source platform for machine learning models and datasets, reported the security incident earlier this week, calling it “different from anything…
For the longest time, Windows on Arm has been the purview of Snapdragon processors with Adreno CPUs (and occasionally some repurposed Mac silicon). A couple of months ago, though, Nvidia finally announced RTX Spark, an Arm processor with some real GPU grunt. And it seems that might have sparked (sorry) the onset of being able…
Earlier this month, Microsoft gutted The Elder Scrolls Online, with 379 staff across ZeniMax gone. And this is the second time it’s happened in two years. As Harvey and I put it a few weeks ago, ESO’s developers deserved better. The developer, now claiming to be the same size it was 10 years ago (similar…
Any time there’s potentially positive news about storage and memory supply—such as increasing supply from China—I can’t help but think ‘sure, but the AI industry will guzzle through it regardless.’ Not only is demand seemingly insatiable, but sometimes new developments that encourage even more memory use come along. Case in point here with Nvidia Rubin….
