The Kingpin himself has stepped into the God of War Laufey controversy to defend his fellow actor friend Deborah Ann Woll. Actor Vincent D'Onofrio has, of course, starred alongside Woll in the Daredevil series, in which he plays the supervillain Wilson Fisk, while the actress plays Karen Page, Daredevil's friend and lover. When a gamer called for a boycott of the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive on the grounds that the developers purposely made her character, the titular Laufey/Faye, unattractive, D'Onofrio replied: Not that you asked, but...In no way do I agree with you.Deborah is beautiful and extremely talented.

Qwen3.8-27B is a capable AI model, assuming you have a sufficient combination of VRAM and system RAM. On the M4 Pro MacBook Pro, its 24GB of unified memory can be a limiting factor in prefill speeds when running the AI model. Fortunately, one user hooked up an iPhone 17 Pro Max to the portable Mac through a USB-C port, and by running custom software, he was able to get up to 44 percent prefill performance running the same AI model. Even with the memory raised to 20,480MB, the M4 Pro MacBook Pro is only limited to a 64K Context Window, […]

To quote Tom Grennan: "There's something in the water". This must certainly be the case in Star Wars HQ, because while the films have most certainly fallen from grace, there seems to be a resurgence in the games. We had a genuinely good game in Star Wars Zero Company, and now we're avoiding a total WipEout with Star Wars: Galactic Racer. Before I go on, there needs to be a rule in the sex dungeons of Disney that's passed out when Mickey gets out the whip - colon or no colon, and I don't mean the body part. The writer […]

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has clarified that instead of using 72GB of DDR5 RAM, his firm's AI5 chip will instead use 96GB in order to ensure that the firm is not the only one relying on using the minimum 72GB specification for the chip that will power the Optimus humanoid robot. Musk had earlier remarked that Tesla had slashed the RAM for its AI5 and AI6 chips in half in order to ensure adequate memory supply amidst a historic global shortage. His remarks came as he admitted that using too much AI for programming can lead to psychosis, which makes […]

We don't know how a GPU can shed its own heatsink like that, but yeah, in 2026, everything seems possible. NVIDIA RTX 4090 FE Triangular Heatsink Part Detaches and Falls Off After User Moves His PC Connector melting on high-end RTX GPUs is common, but a GPU breaking on its own isn't. I think the RTX 40 and RTX 50 series have seen all kinds of damage, but this one is a unique case. The Redditor u/Maker_753 reports that he just moved his computer and saw one of the pieces of the heatsink fall off his GPU. The system was […]

Buying used PC hardware generally comes with the usual risks: worn components, hidden defects, or questionable overclocking history. Apparently, you can now add inheriting someone else's anti-cheat ban to the list. A German PC gamer recently purchased a second-hand AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D through Kleinanzeigen — a German online classifieds marketplace — only to discover that the processor had reportedly been blacklisted by Riot Games' Vanguard anti-cheat system because its previous owner had cheated in Valorant. According to the buyer, the CPU itself worked perfectly. The trouble started after launching Valorant, which immediately kicked them out despite the game working […]

Early Engineering AMD Ryzen 9 5900X3D Sample Spotted in CPU-Z With 128 MB L3 Cache and 4.6 GHz of Boost Clock Roughly three years ago, Gamers Nexus visited AMD's Austin campus, where AMD showcased its unreleased AM4 X3D processors from the Zen 3 lineup.

Pearl Abyss made plenty of improvements to Crimson Desert since its launch this March, but modders haven't been idle, and have introduced a lot of significant improvements and new features, including a massive world editor that turns the game into a real sandbox.

Microsoft is expanding its Advanced Shader Delivery (ASD) technology across Windows 11, with Gears of War: E-Day becoming the first game to support the feature across a broad range of AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, and Qualcomm-powered systems. Advanced Shader Delivery is designed to address one of the more persistent issues affecting modern PC games: shader/Pipeline State Object (PSO) compilation. Instead of requiring the user's CPU to compile large numbers of shaders during the game's first launch — or just-in-time compiling them dynamically during gameplay — ASD allows precompiled shaders to be delivered alongside the game download. Microsoft says this can both […]
