It’s hardly surprising that there was almost no mention of the gaming side of the business in Nvidia’s latest quarterly earnings call. The company has been riding high on all things AI for several years now, to the tune of a $5.41 trillion market capitalisation as I write this. Unsurprisingly, CEO Jensen Huang is excited…
It’s the 21st century, which means—er, well, all sorts of existential horrors. But it also means that the media landscape, a term I typically shudder to use but is genuinely applicable here, has changed. A lot of the younger generations get their news from social media and streaming platforms, including online personalities—and archetypically, the government…
In a tale as old as Blackwell, Nvidia has managed to make it through yet another quarterly report with nary a mention of gaming. Well, okay, there was one mention of gaming, but that was basically just to say it’s now being considered subsumed under—you guessed it—an AI segment of the business. Along with the…
Is it funny that Bubsy 4D exists? Is it a joke? I thought it was when Atari announced it last year. The first trailer didn’t look good but then, that only makes sense: it was a trailer for a Bubsy game, and Bubsy games aren’t good. Bubsy 3D is notoriously one of the worst games…
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. Dubbed YellowKey, the exploit allows an attacker to read the contents of a BitLocker-encrypted drive by abusing standard behavior of the Windows Recovery Environment. Nightmare-Eclipse adds that, as far as their testing is concerned,…
Nvidia has just announced its financial results for the previous quarter, and as expected, things are going very well for the GPU behemoth. The company is almost entirely AI-focused these days—I know, tiny violins for us PC gamers—and in its earnings call, Nvidia EVP and CFO Colette Kress said that there’s still an awful lot…
World of Warcraft: Midnight seems inclined, like its past couple of expansions, to be less demanding of entry-level requirements for Mythic+ and high-end raiding—there’s more ways to gear up a character solo than ever via activities like Prey, and there’s no mandatory Torghast-esque chores to tick off or borrowed power item to grind out points…
