    AMD's next-gen RDNA 4 Radeon graphics will feature 'brand-new' ray-tracing hardware

    I mean, it's gotta absolutely clap cheeks to catch up in any meaningful way. Nvidia has been practically doubling their RT performance each generation. I'm assuming the 5 series will yet again be a giant gain.

    Millions of Docker repos found pushing malware, phishing sites

    18.7% :eek: Still not sure how people are getting bit by these? Are they squatting common typos? I guess people just glance over that they have zero pulls... and then click a random link and get phished or download something!? Or I just look at the Dockerfile. Then I know what's on it.

    How about they just farm whatever Fallout work out to the people who made New Vegas so it can be good while they work on ES6

    intel 13th and 14th gen xx900 and xx700 may have defective cores causing crashes in gaming

    I'm sure it says somewhere in the manual that the hardware is intended to be a ticking time bomb and I need to race to tweak bios settings to prevent it from quite literally crashing and burning at what is supposed to be stock settings. This is fucking stupid

    Stellar Blade formally Project Eve

    Reviews were pretty mixed, even if sales were good. I assume they figured the lightning was out of the bottle and they wouldn't see those numbers again because expectations are set. So they took the W and left it at that. It was... alright in my opinion. The beginning is kind of a slog and...

    Stellar Blade formally Project Eve

    They literally don't even have the word "hard" in your source. They literally refer to it as "the r-word." Which, in case it wasn't obvious, these are two different strings of text. "hard-r" "r-word"

    Stellar Blade formally Project Eve

    Yes it has haha I can't believe I'm even checking urban fucking dictionary to make sure I'm not going insane. It's always primarily been a reference to the n word. Why do you think eyes went wide when Linus' stupid ass said he was "dropping hard r's" Because that's the default connotation...

    Stellar Blade formally Project Eve

    this has been slang for well over a decade in the US - and it's always overwhelmingly been racial in that realm. Does this surprise anyone. The people that bitch are the vocal minority. Nier: Automata has sold like 8 million copies. An actually good game will sell regardless and most people...

    Roku accounts hacked

    Literally how a bunch of people got their Ring cameras "hacked" a while back. I think they started forcing MFA eventually? Loved when every so often one of those sextortion scams would sneak though the filters and someone where I used to work would call in a panic about how someone has their...

    Some Intel CPUs lost 9% of their performance almost overnight

    I know someone who has seemingly been bitten by those crashes. Worse is it seems to degrade the processor over time and they get worse and worse. Eventually it's basically unusable under any kind of load. I think they're on their 3rd processor now, having also replaced the mobo. The first 2...

    Windows 10 users: Get ready to be bugged about creating a Microsoft Account

    It worked with literally any Microsoft account that was locked from failed logins. You could even just hammer your own account like 5-10 times. This is why the also common "[email protected]" one worked. Citi Bank owns this domain. This was just a failsafe that people abused.

    Windows 10 users: Get ready to be bugged about creating a Microsoft Account

    RIP the poor bastard who legitimately owns that email and hasn't been able to log into their Microsoft account for ages because it's perpetually hitting the bad login limit and getting timed out. I think this does actually work now and you can run X86 images on Mac. Might just need to...

    ChatGPT linked to declining academic performance and memory loss in new study

    I recently used ChatGPT to generate additional exam questions for a cert. I did about 500 questions that were included in practice tests I purchased, then probably another additional 100 though GPT 4. It was helpful, though tended to drift towards the easier side because it liked to write very...

    The GPU Nvidia would rather forget – GeForce FX

    New RISC-V microprocessor can run CPU, GPU, and NPU workloads simultaneously

    I think he's referencing that RISC-V is (intentionally) very lax and flexible with custom extensions to the ISA. Makes sense for embedded and low power where you want to have functionality in hardware.

    Also there's probably a good chance you can find this package installed on Arch or more rarely, possibly even Mac (from brew), though it doesn't seem clear yet if anything will trigger. Not sure you're vulnerable if you don't have SSH open to the wild, either. As a bonus, GitHub immediately...

    Russia's government investigating creating own game consoles and delivery platform

    Claude takes the top spot in AI chatbot ranking — finally knocking GPT-4 down to second place

    Let me rephrase slightly since the footnote picture covers it - the current version, which was released in January, is seemingly still ahead of everyone. I'm glad they're basically caught up though, there isn't really an enormous gap. Bring on the competition.

    Seems a pretty remarkable achievement. Dude not only pulled the hardware off, but a working driver as well. And ported Quake to his API.
