    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    $1.7 billion loss is staggering but honestly not surprising to anyone who has watched them churn out the same open world checklist formula for the past decade. The Splinter Cell point hurts — they had genuinely great IPs and just sat on them. Pivoting to live service at this point feels like...

    Ubuntu Servers Reportedly under Sustained Massive DDOS Attacks from Iran Backed Hacking Groups

    Switching to a regional mirror is the right call during something like this and worth keeping as a habit anyway since they tend to be faster for most people regardless. The timing hitting Canonical right when they needed to push out the CopyFail patches is what makes it particularly messy...

    Drop is gone.

    Man, that actually sucks more than I expected. Drop used to feel like a place where you could find something a bit different, not just another mass-market keyboard . Seeing it slowly narrow down and then just disappear hits harder than it should. Still, options aren’t gone, just more scattered...

    Epic Games Laying Off Over 1,000 Employees Due to Loss of Fortnite Engagement

    Feels like this is less about Fortnite “dying” and more about expectations finally catching up with reality. The thread tone says it all — people are tired of hearing “engagement” as an excuse while companies still pull in billions . Cutting 1000 jobs after years of massive revenue just shows...

    Prompt to tape out: 1.5 GHz RISC-V CPU

    Getting from a short prompt to a tape-out ready design in like half a day sounds insane on paper, but I’m with the skepticism here. Hitting ~1.5 GHz under ideal conditions is one thing, doing it under real PPA constraints is a totally different game. Still, even as a proof of concept, automating...

    Intel Launches "Arrow Lake Refresh": Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, New Binary Optimization Tool

    Refresh launches like this always make me curious how much real-world improvement they bring compared to the original lineup. On paper the specs often look like a small bump, but sometimes firmware tweaks or optimization tools end up making a noticeable difference in certain workloads. I’m...

    Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 beta

    I get the concern about privacy, but this feels more like Apple reacting to regulatory pressure than randomly tightening control. If the UK requires stricter age gates for 18+ content, Apple either complies or pulls features. The real debate is how verification is handled — on-device checks vs...

    Rare NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 20 GB Engineering Sample Acquired by TPU Forumite

    $200 for a weird 3080 Ti 20GB engineering sample is such a gamble, but I totally get the appeal. Hybrid 3090-style PCB, patched drivers, compute crashing… it’s basically a collector’s curiosity more than a daily card. Performance landing near a 3080 12GB makes it less exciting for gaming, though...

    Demo of Bobcat, the Lightmatter chiplet optical interposer

    Pretty wild seeing optical interposers move from theory into something you can actually demo. Chiplets like this feel like the only realistic way forward as electrical links keep hitting walls. Power efficiency, bandwidth, and scaling all get a boost at once. If this tech matures, it could...
