Week two of Overwatch’s 10-year anniversary celebrations kicked off with more challenges, loot boxes, and a gamemode for us to try out. Instead of the OG mode that players got to check out last week, this time we’ve got a play on Mystery Heroes, the mode where each player gets a random hero when they…
AMD has announced that its first 2 nm CPUs are now in production. It’s a server chip, inevitably, but it bodes well for upcoming PC processors. Meanwhile, Intel has mentioned possible future 10A and 7A nodes for the first time. Maybe Moore’s Law ain’t dead, after all. “AMD today announced that its next-generation AMD EPYC…
SpaceX has submitted filings for an initial public offering (IPO) with the SEC, a process that might make its majority owner, Elon Musk, the world’s first trillionaire. An important part of such a filing is listing the risk factors that may potentially impact the business—and xAI’s Grok gets a mention. “Certain of our AI products,…
A security researcher going by the GitHub handle Nightmare-Eclipse disclosed a potentially nasty BitLocker bypass in Windows 11 earlier this month.

In a move seemingly designed to make your erstwhile correspondent feel old, it seems AMD is rolling out a special edition of the trusty Ryzen 7 5800X3D gaming CPU to celebrate 10 years of the AM4 socket. Yup, 10 years. Spotted by X user momomo_us (via Tom’s Hardware), the chip has been listed at Indian…

Do you remember that moment in Baldur’s Gate 3 when you thought you were approaching the end, but then you arrived in Act 3’s big city and realized you weren’t even close? Because I sure do. I remember proudly announcing I was about to finish the RPG, only to spend another 100 hours methodically combing…
My first few hours in Thick as Thieves were a good time. It’s a first-person stealth game with lean buttons and maps that look like they were hand-drawn by someone named “Fingers” who sold them to you from out of his overcoat. The setting mixes technology and magic, reinforced by guards with Scottish accents muttering…
