Baldur’s Gate 3 mods enjoyed a new set of tools last year as part of its seventh patch, tools which it only took erstwhile modders two days to unlock. These untapped kits allow these expeditionary tinkerers to create whole new campaigns, in the vein of Skyrim’s ambitious mods. At least, in theory. In practice, it’s…
The ongoing viability of Moore’s law is up for debate. But it seems Taiwanese megfab TSMC is determined to crank out new silicon regardless. The latest reports claim TSMC’s next-gen 2nm chip node, branded N2, is set for volume production later this year. However, it’s unlikely we’ll see TSMC N2 chips in our PCs until…
