Now that the next-gen graphics cards have made their entrance, we’ve started seeing some high-end next-gen laptops file through, too. These tend to feature Intel Core Ultra 200H-series or AMD Ryzen AI HX 300-series processors, but before long we might start seeing AMD Ryzen 8000HX-series ‘Dragon Range Refresh’ chips inside gaming laptops. AMD has just…
One of the most annoying aspects of using the modern Internet is having to convince every other website that I am, in fact, a human, typically by clicking on little squares of traffic lights and bicycles. The irritation has been compounded since I learned that tools like CAPTCHA don’t really do much to deter online…
Sunsoft stars are back on the shelves. Do you miss Aero the Acro-Bat? How about Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel? Do you remember either? Do you even want to play as them again? Do you know what Meet the Lord! You Are Number One! is? Well, regardless of your answers to any of those questions, veteran…

Meta, similarly, won a case for its use of copyrighted content, but once again, there’s a big asterisk. As reported by TechCrunch, Meta won its case against…
In surprising news to me, OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman has a blog. And in among the ruminations on traditional blog-like topics like “What I Wish Someone Had Told Me” and “The Strength of Being Misunderstood”, he recently posted three observations on AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and its potential uses for the human race….
EA doesn’t have the best reputation. Whether it’s being awarded with the title “worst company in America” multiple times, its role in the downfall of previously beloved developers like BioWare, its love of microtransactions, or continually heralding the demise of singleplayer games, it hasn’t earned much goodwill.
