The big picture: Concerns about Twitter / X’s future since Elon Musk’s takeover have sparked a competition over who can build a better microblogging service. Although X hasn’t died, analysis shows that by at least one metric, Meta’s alternative Threads is gaining on it. Data from Appfigures shows Meta’s Threads app has significantly more daily […]

What just happened? Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced plans to trim its global workforce by roughly eight percent, or around 900 people. SIE President and CEO Jim Ryan said the industry has changed immensely, and after discussing with the leadership team about the evolving economic landscape and changes in how they develop, distribute, and launch

Editor’s take: The way Roni Bandini describes the project makes it seem relatively straightforward and built on a shoestring – for example, they used the metal enclosure from a broken audio board as one of the parts. But the project could come with some legal risks so beware when trying this yourself. Not a confrontational

Why it matters: Microsoft game hubs provide a way to consolidate information about PC games (at least on the Xbox side). They will soon offer some consolation to PC gamers worried that Microsoft’s push to multi-platform gaming may leave them somewhat shorted. Microsoft is rolling out a “game hubs” feature for Windows PC users. Game

Wow! Apple shocked the industry when it confirmed rumors of a $3,500 MSRP for its then-upcoming Vision Pro headset. Many thought it was a ludicrous ask, and many still hold that opinion post-release. However, new research shows that it costs Apple more to make its spatial-reality device than most consumer-grade VR headsets retail for. Despite

The big picture: Apple is constantly experimenting with new products and concepts behind closed doors and occasionally, we catch wind of a couple of these ideas.

This is not the first time we are reviewing or testing AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 GRE. That actually happened about six months ago, but technically this is still a new GPU release… because now you can actually buy it. Around mid-last year, AMD quietly released the GRE as a Chinese exclusive for what amounted to

A hot potato: For decades, we’ve heard the same mantra from tech billionaires: if a young person wants to make it within the industry, they must learn to code. Now, Jensen Huang has given the opposite advice. The Nvidia boss believes that AI has made the need to learn programming redundant, and humans should instead

Forward-looking: New research details a process that allows a CPU, GPU, and AI accelerator to work seamlessly in parallel on separate tasks. The pioneering breakthrough could provide blazing-fast, energy-efficient computing — promising to double overall processing speed at less than half the energy cost. Researchers at the University of California Riverside developed a technique called
