  1. Microsoft Lays Off Another 9,000 Employees, Bringing Its Two-Year Job Cuts Total to Nearly 27,000 as It Invests in Building AI Infrastructure

    Not that I disagree with the statement, because I personally believe people abdicate critical thought when they use AI ... but let's explore the underlying premise. Does this presuppose that entry level jobs are not necessary? If entry level jobs are eliminated, where will the next generation...
  2. TEAMGROUP Goes Mission Impossible with One-Click Self-Destructing SSD

    This won't be abused. At. All. The probability that a disgruntled and retributive girlfriend (boyfriend), wife (husband), and/or employee will utilize this feature is greater than zero.
  3. Romero Games Issues a Statement Clarifying That the Studio Has Not Closed After Some Staff Claimed Otherwise

    Remind me again ... whose bitch is John Romero these days?
  4. GIGABYTE Unlocks up to 35% Gaming Performance Gains with Ultra Turbo Mode Performance Boost on Its Intel Z890 Motherboards

    Alternatively, I wouldn't mind an adjacent throttle yoke switch labeled "Ludicrous Speed".
  5. Remedy Attempts to Make Alan Wake/Control Multiplayer Spinoff, FBC: Firebreak More Appealing to Players With Latest Patch

    That depends on how you define success, and whether one limits their view to a handful of cherry picked titles to support their argument. Arguably, World of Warcraft is/was hugely successful for many years and I'm told story plays a role (I've never played WoW and never will). Lord of the...
  6. Stellar Blade Sets New All-Time Record for PlayStation Releases on PC with over 180,000 Concurrent Players

    Would you agree there is a significant difference between gratuitous up-skirt crotch shots and viewing a landscape complete with a sunset? Yes, they both can be "just 3d models with textures" but they have directorial differences in why they're included.
  7. Unreal Engine 5.6 Makes Its Debut with New Footage from the Witcher IV Tech Demo, Showcasing Improved 60 FPS Ray Traced Global Illumination

    Did a double take when the host came on screen. I thought he was Elon Musk for a moment.
  8. GOG Mod Aims to Make It as Easy as a Single Click to Install Mods for Classic Games

    Yes, and they've been testing the waters in offering mod packages for a while ... with some successes and others, well, not as much. Take for example the GoG cut of Daggerfall Unity. While initially it might have been a good idea (on paper), the reality is that the mods were still being...
  9. GOG Mod Aims to Make It as Easy as a Single Click to Install Mods for Classic Games

    Not really, no. It's been a while since I used Steam (for reasons of my own), but IIRC, there you subscribe to mods and can add them piecemeal to your games as you see fit ... unsubscribe the mod if you no longer want to use it. Someone more knowledgeable than I can verify whether that is...
  10. GOG Mod Aims to Make It as Easy as a Single Click to Install Mods for Classic Games

    I acquired a few and it looks like they're trying something different. I don't use their Galaxy launcher except in the most dire of circumstances. The offline installers have all the mods integrated (i.e., they're not individual DLC) so you have to install everything before you can uninstall...
  11. Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition Video Card Review – 2025 Performance

    I'd rather they develop their graphics cards to work toward scaling graphic resolution rather than compute. They can develop their processors to scale compute. Just because team green does it, doesn't mean everyone else (or anyone else, for that matter) should. Nip this silly nonsense in the bud.
  12. Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition Video Card Review – 2025 Performance

    Imagine if you could double those up ... say in SLI or whatever ... for 4k gaming .... even at twice the price for the bump in performance you could provide better value than team green. And not much sacrifice on PCIe lanes because they're only x8 to begin with.
  13. Microsoft Brings Post-Quantum Cryptography to Windows and Linux Users

    That reminds me I need to change my "in the midnight hour" pass phrase. Thanks.
  14. Seasonic Celebrates its 50th Anniversary at Computex 2025 with Powerful New Kit on Display

    You know what also happens after you turn 50? A date with a colonoscopy to check for rectal colon cancer. If you smile for the camera, it's done just for sh!ts and grins.
