The global race for supremacy in artificial intelligence is reaching a new level of intensity. The major US technology companies are planning investments for the current year on a scale that stands out even in an industry accustomed to superlatives. Together, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft want to invest around $650 billion in AI-related infrastructure, […]

Valve continues to use Steam as a low-threshold ramp for indie experiments. Four new games are currently completely free to play, with no subscription and no time limit. No marketing fireworks, no blockbusters, just deliberately small-scale projects that seek reach rather than revenue. The selection follows a clear pattern: retro visuals, manageable production costs, experimental […]

Artificial intelligence is currently changing almost all areas of work, from public administration and contract management to human resources. Automated processes, accelerated document processing, and more precise classifications promise significant efficiency gains and open up new opportunities to simplify complex processes. At the same time, however, regulatory pressure is growing, because with the increasing use […]

The clues from the latest iOS 26.3 beta have brought new momentum to the discussion about Apple’s upcoming M5 chip generation. While clear references to M5 Max and M5 Ultra can already be found in the system files, the M5 Pro is completely missing so far. This gap is unusual, as Apple has always positioned […]

It is no longer a secret that Microsoft is gradually shifting the classic console toward a PC-like platform; rather, it is an openly communicated strategy. What is new, however, is how concretely external partners are already factoring this development into their plans. According to Steve Allison, head of the Epic Games Store, plans to integrate […]

Wenn Elon Musk eines zuverlässig beherrscht, dann ist es das Verschieben von Engpässen. Kaum wird ein Flaschenhals identifiziert, wird er nicht umgangen, sondern gleich in den Orbit verlegt. Im wörtlichen Sinne. Laut Musk wird das derzeitige Expansionstempo der KI-Infrastruktur unausweichlich dazu führen, dass Rechenzentren im Weltraum wirtschaftlich attraktiver werden als auf der Erde. Nicht aus […]

Qualcomm is once again facing a familiar challenge with its upcoming top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 platform. With each new generation, not only do performance expectations rise, but so do thermal design requirements. Rumors from the supply chain suggest that Qualcomm could focus more on advanced cooling concepts this year to prevent overheating problems […]

Intel has a structural problem, and Panther Lake in the handheld segment is just another symptom of it. Although Intel has officially confirmed that dedicated Panther Lake SoCs for gaming handhelds are coming, the now rumored postponement to the second quarter of 2026 fits conspicuously well into the familiar pattern. Announcement early, delivery later, details […]

What previously felt like regional diversification is now clearly taking on aggressive traits. TSMC apparently plans to significantly upgrade its Japanese operations and also manufacture 3 nm chips in the region in the future. This is not a cosmetic upgrade, but a clear change in strategy. Until now, Japan was intended for more mature processes, […]

As expected, the first contact is with packaging that is more reminiscent of a small piece of furniture than a graphics card. The box stands there with the confident calm of a safe, subtly announcing that this is no middle-of-the-road product. At this point, at the latest, it becomes clear that the real challenge will […]

A newly uncovered surveillance campaign illustrates how consistently mobile threats have evolved and are now deliberately misusing everyday infrastructure for espionage purposes. The analysis focuses on the Android malware Arsink RAT, a remote access Trojan that remains active on infected devices for long periods of time without being detected, deliberately relying on inconspicuous communication channels.

Anyone scrolling through the Steam catalog on Linux or Steam Deck will quickly encounter a familiar warning sign. Games are labeled as “not compatible with Proton.” No green check mark, no “Verified” label, just the implicit suggestion that the title may in fact be unplayable on your system. This classification seems definitive, but it isn’t. […]

What happened here has nothing to do with everyday hardware. An overclocker takes one of the best custom graphics cards of the Turing era, rips out its heart, and replaces it with the full configuration that NVIDIA reserved exclusively for the Titan RTX at the time. The result is an RTX 2080 Ti that is […]

At the beginning of 2026, the DRAM market finds itself in a situation that can be described as tense without exaggeration. Rising prices, limited availability, and massive markups on high-capacity modules are hitting gamers and enthusiasts particularly hard. In this conflict, many buyers are turning their attention to Chinese manufacturers such as ChangXin Memory Technologies […]

LibreOffice comes with a robust spell checker based on the widely used Hunspell library, which is also used in applications such as Firefox and Thunderbird. For many users, this basic function is sufficient, but when it comes to grammar, punctuation, style issues, or consistent spelling, the integrated solution quickly reaches its limits. This is where […]

Since the introduction of Private Cloud Compute in 2024, Apple has consistently focused its long-term AI strategy on data protection. The company deliberately positioned itself as an alternative to cloud-centric AI platforms by establishing a hybrid approach in which simple tasks are processed directly on the end device and more complex queries run exclusively via […]
