The AI money spigot shows no signs of being turned off any time soon, as OpenAI shared that it has received $110B of investment in a new round of funding. OpenAI says these investments will enable it to meet the demand for its services, and that “providing everyone access to our products requires three things: compute, distribution, and capital.” This

AirSnitch is a newly-revealed attack on Wi-Fi networks that work across all major router brands and firmwares, including DD-WRT and OpenWrt. In an alarming turn for cybersecurity, researchers revealed a form of Wi-Fi attack that can entirely bypass client isolation on Wi-Fi, which is typically the only thing preventing attackers from intercepting

You're probably expecting us to be talking about one of the extant Bartlett Lake processors based on re-reheated Raptor Lake silicon. Nope! This is a Core 9 273PQE, one of the long-rumored 12 P-core LGA 1700 CPUs. However, lest you accuse us of clickbait, we'll get the disappointing part out of the way early: it doesn't work in the board it

As triple-A gaming trends more and more toward graphically-intensive titles with ray tracing enabled, vendors are in a continuous march to improve upscaling solutions to offset skyrocketing performance demands. PlayStation is no exception, as it has now finally shipped an updated PSSR upscaler with the release of Resident Evil: Requiem, aka

De Tomaso Automobili has revealed the powerplant specifications for the P900 track-only hypercar mated to a beautifully organic V12 developed in collaboration with engineering firm Italtecnica.

Even though PC memory and storage prices have gotten out of control these days, there are still some deals to be had, especially if you venture into the realm of prebuilt system. Case in point, Dell is serving up discounts on a range of hardware, including its Alienware Aurora gaming PCs and some nice gaming monitors. Let's get into it. Dell's

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled a striking new photo of the "Exposed Cranium" Nebula, a celestial structure that, as the nickname implies, bears a strong resemblance to a human brain encased in a translucent skull. Officially known as PMR 1, this nebula is a planetary shroud of gas and dust located roughly 5,000 light-years

Amidst drastic shifts from Xbox and the wider (PC) hardware market, Sony is reportedly considering a pivot away from its more recent strategy of eventually porting its single-player catalog to PC. As-is, Sony first-party exclusives already trend toward a delay of at least a year before a PC port releases, making most titles merely timed

Minisforum is having a sale on its MS-A2, a tiny system with some big hardware options, not the least of which AMD's Ryzen 9 9955HX Fire Range processor that was part of an onslaught of chip releases at last year's CES event. It also wields some impressive wired connectivity options for ultra-high-speed data transfers. Starting with the

Apple's iPhone and iPad devices running iOS and iPadOS 26, respectively, have become the first consumer-grade mobile devices officially approved to handle classified NATO information.

For a short while, NVIDIA was pushing out a new Game Ready GPU driver release optimized for Resident Evil Requiem, one of the most anticipated games of the year so far. However, NVIDIA ended up pulling its 595.59 WHQL driver package, including both Game Ready and Studio builds, after gamers took to NVIDIA's forum to complain about fan and

Microsoft has quietly released its latest DirectX 12 Agility SDK (version 1.619 alongside the 1.719-preview), and while the patch notes are dense with developer jargon, the implications for PC gamers are massive. The Agility SDK allows developers to integrate new DX12 features directly into their games without requiring users to wait for massive

In what seems like a WarGames (1983)-inspired test, three leading LLMs (OpenAI's GPT-5.2, Google's Gemini 3 Flash, and Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4) all displayed willingness to engage in nuclear war. All of the models considered the risk of using nukes preferable to "certain strategic defeat". To anybody reading that is familiar with the theory

AMD's FSR 4 is a massive evolution from the company's previous-generation upscalers, and the leap in quality is directly attributable to the use of AI versus the older deterministic upscalers. That doesn't mean AMD is resting on its laurels, though; the company is apparently preparing an improved version of the upscaler. We know that not because

Amazon upgraded its longtime digital assistant to Alexa+ with AI smarts last year, in an effort to compete with other tech giants participating in the AI race. While it launched in a state that didn’t quite match what Amazon had promised, Alexa+ has gotten several improvements since its rollout and with its latest update it should offer much

If you've been stressing out about Microsoft abandoning driver support for your legacy printer in Windows 11 based on messaging it relayed in its Windows Roadmap document, stress no more.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a major lawsuit against Valve, alleging that the company’s loot boxes in games like Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 constitute illegal, unlicensed gambling that targets minors. The complaint, filed in Manhattan state court, seeks to end the practice and demands that the Bellevue-based

Modern vehicle computer systems have become vectors for security and privacy hacking. However, who would've thought that the humble and not-very-high-tech tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) would be identified as vulnerability gateway? Basically, each TPMS relies on radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted by the small sensors located

Woot is hosting a massive sale on gaming products with deep discounts on games, systems, and peripherals of up to 84% off. That in and of itself is notable.

Astronomers have captured the largest and most detailed image of the Milky Way’s core to date, revealing a chaotic web of cosmic filaments at our galaxy's center. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, a research team mapped the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), the star formation engine that spans more than 650

NVIDIA is out here living its best life as it rides an AI wave that has yet to break to yet another quarter of record earnings, driven primarily by more explosive growth in its Data Center division.
