Every Patch Tuesday, there’s a moment where you hover over that “Install” button and wonder what you’re getting into. The April 2026 update for Windows 11, KB5083769, has given plenty of users good reason to hesitate. The update is causing two distinct problems: a confirmed BitLocker recovery...

It’s been a running joke among Linux users for years: to get NVIDIA CUDA or AMD ROCm working properly, clear your weekend and make peace with your terminal. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute Raccoon,” released April 23, changes that. Both compute frameworks now ship natively through Ubuntu’s official...

For a company that spent much of the past two years in freefall, Thursday wasn’t exactly expected. Intel’s first quarter 2026 earnings landed well after the close on April 23 and by Friday morning the stock had surged roughly 24%, its largest single-day gain since 1987. The chip giant isn’t back...

So, for those of you that enjoy this - if you have more sources/sites that you frequent that you haven't seen in these roundups, I can add to the RSS ingestion that I'm doing for discovery, it should be able to increase the volume/variety.

The launch of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition was the week’s headline event: the world’s first consumer CPU with 3D V-Cache on both compute dies arrived to widespread coverage, mixed reception on value, and a near-total absence of review samples at sites like the one you’re reading on...

Warner Bros. shelved it, tried to write it off as a tax deduction, and lost. Coyote vs. Acme is coming to theaters on August 28, 2026, and the first trailer makes sure you haven’t forgotten how it got there. The long-delayed live-action/animation hybrid was completed back in 2022 before Warner...

It was a rough Tuesday for Anthropic’s relationship with developers. Two separate incidents broke out yesterday that, taken together, paint a picture of a company making significant policy decisions without adequate communication to the people affected. The first: Tom’s Hardware reports that...

A report from industry publication The Ankler a couple weeks ago claimed that Amazon had pushed the Mass Effect TV adaptation’s writers to rewrite the show for audiences unfamiliar with the games, essentially asking them to treat it as a standalone sci-fi property rather than an adaptation. That...

One of the most-requested features for Radeon GPU owners may finally be on its way. Changes spotted in the AMD FSR 4 SDK strongly suggest that multi-frame generation (AFMG) is in active development for Radeon graphics cards, according to Guru3D and PC Gamer. The SDK updates in question include...

Fans of classic Warhammer PC gaming have a reason to open Steam right now. Publisher SNEG, in partnership with Games Workshop, launched the Warhammer Classics collection on April 13, bringing more than 26 titles from the last three decades of the franchise back to PC. Seven of those games are...

Well, it happened. A week after new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma was reportedly telling employees that Game Pass had become too expensive for players, the Vole has followed through with an official price adjustment. As of today, Game Pass Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $22.99 per month, and PC Game Pass...

We did try to appeal to the "we'll be balanced and include content creation/etc performance in addition to gaming" thing. Our interest was noted, leaving the door cracked for a post-launch sampling. I'm not very hopeful it'll happen. As far as the retail purchase goes - for the anticipated...

As you’ve probably noticed since there are more of these posts going up across the internets than there are reviews of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, we also do not have one to share with you. Videocardz has their typical round up posted with just a handful of sites if you’d like to go take […] See...

If you’ve been curious about running AI locally but found most guides either hand-wavy or clearly written by someone whose “budget” starts at a datacenter lease, Hardware Asylum’s new series is worth your time. Dennis Garcia, the site’s Editor in Chief, spent the past several months building and...

A big week dominated by two stories that pull in opposite directions: the most anticipated game launch of the spring in Pragmata brought with it the most thorough GPU performance data we’ve seen in a while, with TechPowerUp testing 30+ cards once Capcom quietly reversed its bizarre one-GPU...

Capcom’s Pragmata launched today, and NVIDIA was ready: GeForce Game Ready Driver 596.21 WHQL dropped yesterday, April 16, specifically optimizing for the game’s path tracing, DLSS Multi Frame Generation, and DLSS Ray Reconstruction pipeline. If you’re planning to fire up Pragmata on a GeForce...

In a market where DDR5 has become something of a luxury item thanks to AI infrastructure gobbling up DRAM supply, ASRock has announced a new memory standard it’s calling HUDIMM (Ed: Who?), short for Half-channel Unified DIMM. Announced April 17, the spec works by operating DDR5 in a single...

Other cards should return on Thursday to that review. Apparently there was an embargo condition added Friday and nobody told them they could only use one card....

Capcom’s long-gestating sci-fi action game Pragmata launches Friday, April 17, and the pre-release performance data landing today paints a familiar picture for anyone who has played a recent RE Engine title: the game looks spectacular and runs better than it has any right to. TechPowerUp...
