A heavyweight games industry veteran says he is building a fully European alternative to popular games engines from American and Chinese companies.
CAS Cold Atom Technology, a Wuhan-based firm affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), unveiled what it calls the world's first dual-core quantum computer.
Designed to be used as a standalone device, the 3DMakerPro Toucan allows users to capture a point cloud, generate a 3D model, and export it without using a computer. The hardware has a premium feel, and the Class 3R laser can create detailed point clouds quickly. However, the software lacks polis...
QTS says the extra 29 million gallons were consumed during temporary construction activities, including concrete work, dust control, and site preparation.
A GitHub project shares details of the prototype for 'a fully working computer that is literally the size of a credit card,' dubbed the Muxcard
AMD’s landmark K5 processor family will no longer be supported by Linux when kernel version 7.2 arrives.
AMD's new Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is a unique CPU, but how does it stack up to the single-cache Ryzen 9 9950X3D? We put the two head-to-head in a six-round gauntlet.
Residents living near data centers are raising concerns about noise pollution, as these massive sites operate 24/7 and generate low-frequency sounds that disturb the neighborhood's peace.
Turns out, Nvidia's older Turing-era V100 AI GPU is still pretty capable today, even with just 16GB of VRAM. A YouTuber got his hands on the SMX variant for just $100, converted it to a PCIe x16 interface for another $100 with an adapter, and got some pretty impressive results across AI inference...
NASA successfully tested Mars helicopter rotors at Mach 1.08 inside JPL’s Mars simulator chamber, paving the way for larger next-generation aircraft under the proposed SkyFall mission to explore more of the Red Planet.
Ukraine has developed a mobile AI-powered anti-drone laser that can down lethal Shahed drones up to 3.1 miles away.
The FCC has extended waivers allowing certain covered foreign-produced drones, drone components, and routers to continue receiving software and firmware updates until at least 2029, citing cybersecurity and consumer protection concerns.
Maryland is complaining to the federal energy regulator about PJM's plan to charge it $2 billion for grid upgrades that will mostly benefit data centers, especially as the state claims that the majority of these developments are being built in neighboring regions.
Cloudflare cuts 20% of its jobs due to AI, and its stock takes a 19% spill. The company announced it will be cutting 1,100 jobs and has increased its usage of AI sixfold over the past few months.

The Nextorage NEM-PAC is a quiet contender with good performance and a PS5-compliant heatsink. It’s a competent Gen 4 SSD but is otherwise unexciting.
Gaming laptops are expensive, and only getting pricier as AI-driven shortages increase. Here are the best options for budget gaming laptops on the cheap, comprised of laptop models that we have tested throughout our full, stringent gaming test suite that measures performance in demanding graphica...
The paper noted that VPN downloads spiked after enforcement began in the UK and several U.S. states.
We took Nvidia's RTX Mega Geometry technology through a series of tests in Alan Wake 2 and the RTX Bonsai Diorama Demo to see how this tech reduces VRAM consumption and eliminates visual artifacts, thus helping pave the way to photorealistic real-time graphics.
