Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed (Warner Bros. Discovery Q2 2026 Shareholder Letter) the next installment of *The Matrix* is planned for release beyond 2027.

The studio also listed a live-action *Jetsons* film starring Jim Carrey in the same post-2027 slate.

Fake Roblox Cheat Spreads Dangerous Stealer Malware - briefly
(hx) 05:20 PM CEST - Aug,06 2026 - Post a comment

Bitdefender researchers have uncovered a malware campaign distributing a fake “undetected” version of the popular Xeno Roblox script executor.

The malware is spread through Discord communities and gaming forums targeting players looking for cheats.

It uses a multi-stage Java infection chain that ultimately installs a powerful stealer and remote access trojan.

The malware can steal browser cookies, Discord, Roblox and Minecraft accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, and payment data, while also enabling keylogging, webcam access, and full remote control.

Researchers urge gamers to avoid unofficial cheats and only download tools from trusted sources.

Researcher Deobfuscates Denuvo Anti-Cheat - tech
(hx) 11:57 AM CEST - Aug,06 2026 - Post a comment

A reverse engineer has announced the successful deobfuscation of Denuvo Anti-Cheat’s kernel driver.

The work focused on the custom LLVM-based obfuscation used in `denuvo-anti-cheat.sys`, which relies on control-flow manipulation and mixed Boolean-arithmetic (MBA) techniques rather than a virtual machine.

The researcher used guided symbolic evaluation to flatten the obfuscated code and restore the original control flow.

Opaque predicates in the protection were found to be statically resolvable.

Further cleanup with an MBA simplifier is planned to improve the readability of the decompiled output.

Condemned 2 Finally Hits PC After 18 Years - briefly
(hx) 11:01 AM CEST - Aug,06 2026 - Post a comment
An unofficial PC port of Condemned 2: Bloodshot has been released 18 years after the game launched exclusively on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The community project, known as Condemned2Recomp, allows players to run the first-person survival horror title on PC.

Users must own an original Xbox 360 copy of the game, as the port does not include any in-game assets.

The original game, developed by Monolith Productions, focused on intense melee combat and forensic investigation mechanics.

The port is available for download on GitHub.

Motherboard Prices Set to Climb in Q3 - tech
(hx) 07:45 PM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI are reportedly preparing another round of motherboard price increases for the third quarter of 2026.

Supply-chain reports from Board Channels say the cost of PCBs used in consumer motherboards is expected to rise by at least 50% this year, driven by higher material prices and strong AI-related demand.

Copper, surface-mount capacitors, power-delivery components and controller chips are also getting more expensive, while weaker DIY PC demand and falling board shipments leave manufacturers with fewer units to spread fixed costs across.

None of the three brands has publicly confirmed the exact size or timing of the increases yet.

ASUS Axes $4,600 RTX 5090 Order After Price Hike - tech
(hx) 06:58 PM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

A customer’s order for an ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 BTF placed through NVIDIA’s marketplace at about $4,607 after tax was canceled after ASUS refused to honor the original price.

NVIDIA confirmed the cancellation and issued a full refund; the same card’s new price rose to roughly $4,982 before tax, with a reorder estimated near $5,100 after tax.

ASUS and GIGABYTE have also raised GPU channel prices in China by around 20% versus July levels, with flagship RTX 5090D V2 models up by as much as 4,000–4,500 yuan (about $590–$666).

The increases hit the broader RTX 50 series and some AMD RX 9000 cards, and reports link the moves to climbing GDDR7 memory costs.

Xbox Plans to Keep Physical Discs for Back-Compatible - console
(hx) 04:42 PM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

Digital Foundry’s John Linneman reported that sources indicated Microsoft planned to continue supporting physical game discs on future Xbox hardware.

The priority was backward compatibility — ensuring players’ existing disc libraries remain playable — rather than retail disc sales.

This was reportedly the case before Microsoft’s recent Xbox business “reset,” and current plans remain unclear.

The comments come amid Sony’s decision to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting in 2028.

Possible options mentioned include external disc drives or disc-to-digital conversion features.

RTX 5090 Hits $7K as AI Demand Takes Over - tech
(hx) 08:21 AM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Retail and third-party prices for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 have surged as high as $7,000, far above its $1,999 launch MSRP.

The spike is driven by strong demand from AI workloads that value the card’s 32 GB of high-speed GDDR7 memory.

As a result, many in the PC gaming community now view the 5090 more as a professional/AI accelerator than a mainstream gaming GPU.

Mainstream retailers currently list available stock mostly in the $4,300–$4,900 range, while some secondary-market sellers push higher.

The price inflation has also lifted used and previous-generation GPU prices by 30–40% in some segments.

Microsoft Forces OneDrive Photos App - tech
(hx) 12:50 AM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment

Microsoft is quietly installing a new OneDrive Photos app on Windows 11 PCs, including Enterprise editions.

The app requires a personal Microsoft account to use and cannot be removed without uninstalling OneDrive entirely. IT admins are angry because the app was not announced, does not appear on official roadmaps, and keeps returning after removal attempts.

OneDrive Photos is an Edge-based web app that duplicates existing features already available in File Explorer and the standard Photos app. It also offers an optional AI feature that groups similar faces in photos and processes facial data.

Many administrators say the forced installation is unacceptable on managed business devices.

Fake Xeno Roblox Cheat Spreads Powerful Stealer - briefly
(hx) 10:21 PM CEST - Aug,04 2026 - Post a comment

Bitdefender researchers uncovered a malware campaign that distributes a fake “undetected” version of the popular Xeno Roblox script executor. The malware is promoted through gaming forums and Discord communities to lure players looking for cheats.

Once installed, it launches a multi-stage Java infection chain that steals Discord, Roblox, and Minecraft accounts along with browser data and cryptocurrency wallets.

The payload also enables keylogging, webcam access, desktop streaming, and full remote control of the infected computer.

Activity has been ongoing since early 2026 and rose sharply in March.

Users are strongly advised to avoid unofficial executors and only download tools from trusted sources.

Bautista in Talks to Play Kratos - briefly
(hx) 10:34 AM CEST - Aug,04 2026 - Post a comment

Dave Bautista is in negotiations to take on the role of Kratos in Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television’s God of War series.

The former wrestler and Guardians of the Galaxy star would replace Ryan Hurst, who left the project after tearing a biceps during filming. Production had already started when the injury forced the recasting to avoid major delays.

The series adapts the story of Kratos and his son Atreus from the recent God of War games. Bautista’s physical presence and acting experience make him a strong fit for the character.

Talks are ongoing, with the goal of resuming production later this year.

Ledger CTO Warns: Multisig Isn't Always the Answer - tech
(hx) 10:10 AM CEST - Aug,04 2026 - Post a comment

After a recent Coldcard security incident, many Bitcoin users rushed toward multisig setups. Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet issued a clear caution: multisig is not automatically safer. While adding multiple keys reduces the risk of a single point of failure, it also introduces complexity that can make recovery difficult or even impossible if done poorly. Complexity is frequently where people lose funds.

Guillemet pointed to Miniscript as a powerful alternative. Ledger offers one of the most complete hardware implementations of Bitcoin Miniscript, allowing advanced spending policies such as inheritance plans, recovery keys with timelocks, and flexible multisig rules while still showing exactly what is being signed on the device screen. This “clear signing” approach helps prevent accidental approvals of the wrong transaction.

Ledger also supports MuSig2, a cryptographic form of multisignature. Multiple devices can aggregate their keys into a single Schnorr public key and produce one signature. On-chain, the transaction looks identical to a normal single-signature spend, which improves privacy and lowers fees. According to Guillemet, Ledger devices are currently the only hardware wallets offering MuSig2 support.

The core message is straightforward: choose multisig or Miniscript only when your actual threat model requires it, not because of fear from a headline. For most people, a well-backed-up single-signature hardware wallet with clear signing remains the most practical and least error-prone solution.

Summary / Opinion on Multisig
Multisig remains a valuable tool for higher-security setups, joint accounts, or inheritance planning. However, it is easy to over-engineer. Poorly designed multisig configurations have locked people out of their own Bitcoin more often than simple hardware failures have. Miniscript and MuSig2 give users more elegant and private options than traditional script-based multisig. The best approach is still to match the security model to the real risks rather than adding complexity for its own sake.

How the Coldcard Bug Was Born and Exploited - in-house
(hx) 10:00 AM CEST - Aug,04 2026 - Post a comment

The case of ColdCard wallet worked because the implementation was broken (radically reduced entropy). It wasn't the cryptography that failed, it was a software engineering bug Brute-force remains mathematically impossible

In 2020, after a competing device used Coldcard's then-GPL code, Coinkite switched to a more restrictive MIT + Commons Clause license. On March 1, 2021, a large “First pass w/ libNgU” commit removed remaining GPL code and, in the process, disabled the hardware random number generator.

Firmware fell back to a weak software RNG (Yasmarang), sharply reducing entropy for new wallet seeds on affected devices. The flaw remained undetected for years until attackers began sweeping vulnerable addresses in late July 2026, moving well over 1,000 BTC....read a full article

128GB RAM in Steam Machine Changes Nothing - tech
(hx) 11:19 PM CEST - Aug,03 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
jayzTwoCents upgraded Valve’s Steam Machine from its stock 16GB of RAM to a full 128GB kit. The system successfully recognized the new memory after a detailed teardown and reassembly process. In gaming tests, including Cyberpunk 2077, the extra RAM delivered no meaningful performance gains. The creator concluded that 128GB is largely pointless on this hardware because the dedicated GPU remains the limiting factor. A simpler dual-channel upgrade with more moderate amounts of RAM would make more sense for most users.

Repasting a 5-Year-Old CPU Restored Lost Performance - tech
(hx) 03:58 PM CEST - Aug,03 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

An XDA writer replaced the dried-out thermal paste on his five-year-old Ryzen 9 5900X and immediately recovered performance he didn’t realize was gone.

Before the swap, the CPU regularly hit 90°C in games like Call of Duty: Warzone and Cyberpunk 2077, causing boost clocks to drop to 4.4–4.5 GHz.

After cleaning and applying Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme under a 360mm AIO, temperatures fell to around 80°C.

The extra thermal headroom let the CPU sustain boost clocks near 4.8 GHz again.

This simple maintenance brought the processor back closer to its original behavior without any hardware upgrades.

It proves how degraded thermal paste can quietly throttle older systems over time.

All Resident Evil CGI Movies Now Free on Tubi - briefly
(hx) 03:05 PM CEST - Aug,02 2026 - Post a comment

The four Resident Evil CGI movies are now available to stream for free on Tubi.

The titles include *Resident Evil: Degeneration*, *Damnation*, *Vendetta*, and *Death Island*.

No subscription is required to watch them on the platform.

This makes it the easiest way to view the entire CGI movie series in one place.

Fans who missed the films can now catch up without extra cost.

The addition expands Tubi’s growing free horror and action catalog.

But if you’re in Europe like me, TubiTV blocks us, and you just get some URL with a GDPR address that sends you to hell :-( I also tried Opera with a VPN, but it doesn’t work because the VPN is too basic, and I haven’t tried Firefox because the 50GB free VPN requires registration, which I don’t want to do. So that leaves a regular VPN—I’m sure each of you has one. Hah, if I were one of those YouTubers, I could already be selling ads here for a VPN, lol. Anyway, I’d love to hear about your experiences!!
