Apple Announces Tim Cook's Departure as CEO - briefly
(hx) 12:15 AM CEST - Apr,21 2026 - Post a comment
Tim Cook will step down as Apple's CEO on September 1, 2026, after nearly 15 years leading the company to unprecedented growth and a multi-trillion-dollar valuation.

John Ternus, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering and a 25-year veteran who oversees products driving about 80% of revenue, will succeed him as CEO. Cook will transition to the role of executive chairman, ensuring continuity during the handover. The move follows internal succession planning and comes despite Cook recently downplaying near-term retirement rumors.

Analysts view the shift as a strategic step to bring fresh hardware-focused leadership into the AI era while maintaining Apple's operational strengths.

John Ternus is Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering (since 2021), a 50-year-old mechanical engineer who is set to become the company's next CEO on September 1, 2026, succeeding Tim Cook. He joined Apple in 2001 on the Product Design team after earning a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and working briefly as a mechanical engineer at Virtual Research Systems.

Ternus has led hardware engineering for nearly all of Apple's major products, including every generation of iPad, the iPhone lineup (taking charge in 2020), Mac computers, AirPods, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Key contributions he oversaw include the full transition of Macs from Intel processors to custom Apple Silicon (M-series chips), which dramatically improved performance and efficiency, as well as the development of new product categories like iPad and AirPods.

An AI enthusiast has produced a polished 3+ minute cyberpunk music video featuring a consistent female performer singing and dancing through neon-lit beaches and futuristic cityscapes. The project leveraged ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 for precise full lip-sync and animation from an audio reference, combined with generations from Dreamina CPP and Runway CPP. Final output was locally upscaled to 4K 60fps using Topaz Labs, with original lyrics set to Suno-generated music. The entire workflow-from concept to finished video—was completed in about 12 hours!

Microsoft Preps Major Reliability Overhaul for Windows 11 in May - tech
(hx) 12:48 AM CEST - Apr,20 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
Microsoft is set to roll out a significant Windows 11 update in May 2026 focused entirely on improving system stability and everyday performance rather than adding new features. The reliability update targets core elements like faster and less glitchy File Explorer, more stable taskbar and system tray, quicker Settings navigation for apps and storage, smoother Clipboard/emoji/voice typing experiences, and more reliable Windows Hello after sleep.

It also reduces startup memory usage, includes fixes for color profiles, audio, fonts, and security, with most changes already available in the Release Preview channel for early testing.
Gamers Are Wrong About 1440p vs 1080p CPU Benchmarking - tech
(hx) 12:41 AM CEST - Apr,20 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Hardware Unboxed has released a new video pushing back against common gamer demands for 1440p CPU testing, arguing it often introduces GPU bottlenecks that hide true processor differences. The channel stresses that proper CPU benchmarking requires low-resolution, CPU-limited scenarios at 1080p or below to accurately compare chips, especially since many 1440p users rely on upscaling like DLSS that renders at even lower effective resolutions. Tests across games such as Battlefield 6, Cyberpunk 2077, and Marvel Rivals showed that 1440p results frequently cap frame rates and add little new insight beyond 1080p data.

Xbox 360 Revisited - Every Launch Game Tested - console
(hx) 03:37 PM CEST - Apr,19 2026 - Post a comment
Digital Foundry has released the second part of its in-depth retrospective on the original Xbox 360 launch titles from 2005, testing every game two decades later. The analysis highlights the awkward cross-gen era, where late PS2 games received 720p ports with added effects but often sacrificed frame rates for visuals. Sports titles frequently dropped from 60fps on prior hardware to 30fps on the 360, while the debut of Xbox Live Arcade introduced addictive downloadable gems like Geometry Wars and Hexic HD that ran smoothly at 60fps.


Recall Reloaded: New Tool Cracks Open Windows 11's Privacy Feature - tech
(hx) 09:03 AM CEST - Apr,19 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Security researcher Alexander Hagenah has released TotalRecall Reloaded, a tool that injects a DLL into Windows 11's AIXHost.exe process without admin privileges to extract data from the Recall feature. Recall periodically captures screenshots of user activity, performs OCR, and stores encrypted screenshots, text, and metadata locally, protected by Windows Hello authentication. Once the user authenticates, the tool intercepts decrypted information flowing through the less-secured AIXHost.exe process. Microsoft maintains that the tool does not expose a new security flaw, as it requires prior user login and operates within intended access patterns. The open-source project is available on GitHub for those exploring Recall's architecture.

(hx) 11:02 PM CEST - Apr,18 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
ASUS has demonstrated budget-oriented HUDIMM (Half UDIMM) memory technology on its high-end ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard. An ROG engineer showcased modified single sub-channel DDR5 modules that report half their actual capacity to the system, enabling cheaper production by using fewer DRAM chips per stick. This approach follows similar efforts from ASRock and aims to deliver more affordable DDR5 options for Intel's 600/700/800-series platforms, including Arrow Lake Z890 systems on LGA 1851. The demo included a pair of 24GB modules appearing as 24GB total, along with an 8GB one-sub-channel stick from TeamGroup that booted successfully.

(hx) 02:58 PM CEST - Apr,18 2026 - Post a comment
ASUS has launched the ROG Equalizer, a specialized 12V-2x6 PCIe power cable designed to balance load across all pins and prevent overheating in high-TDP GPUs like the RTX 5090. Independent user testing on a Gigabyte AORUS Master RTX 5090 under heavy FurMark load showed connector temperatures dropping roughly 10°C, with significantly reduced voltage drop for more stable power delivery.The cable boosts per-wire current capacity to 17A (from the standard 9.2A) while remaining fully ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant, addressing persistent melting concerns with the 16-pin connector .It ships bundled with select 2026 ROG Thor III and Strix Platinum PSUs, with discounted upgrade options available for existing ASUS ROG PSU owners.
Anthropic Unleashes Claude Design: AI-Powered Visuals in Seconds - tech
(hx) 02:37 PM CEST - Apr,18 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Anthropic has launched Claude Design, a new experimental tool from Anthropic Labs that lets users collaborate with Claude to create polished visuals like prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and UI designs through simple prompts.

Powered by the newly released Claude Opus 4.7 model, the platform supports real-time refinements via conversation, inline edits, or custom sliders for elements like colors and layout. It targets non-designers such as founders and product managers, as well as professionals needing fast prototyping, and is rolling out as a research preview to Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers. The tool aims to bridge idea to visual output quickly, potentially complementing rather than replacing tools like Figma. Early reactions suggest it could disrupt traditional design workflows with its accessible AI-driven approach.

Death Stranding 2 PC Review + Optimised Settings - preview/review
(hx) 12:23 AM CEST - Apr,18 2026 - Post a comment
Digital Foundry's latest analysis reviews the PC version of Death Stranding 2: On the Bones of Kojima Productions, praising its post-patch stability and strong performance on mid-to-high-end hardware with features like exclusive ray tracing. The port, handled by Nixxes Software, delivers optimized settings that achieve smooth 60 FPS at 1440p using upscaling like Pico, which often outperforms DLSS, though 8GB VRAM cards require texture compromises. Initial launch issues, including stuttering and bugs, have been largely fixed through recent patches, but some terrain and cutscene problems linger compared to the PS5 version.

NVIDIA Revives RTX 3060 12GB for Budget Gamers - tech
(hx) 11:54 PM CEST - Apr,17 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
NVIDIA is reportedly restarting production of its 2021 GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GPU, with new stock expected to hit stores in June 2026. The move comes after the planned launch of the newer RTX 5050 9GB model was delayed, creating a gap in the entry-level market. While the Ampere-based card lacks the latest ray tracing, DLSS advancements, and AI features of newer generations, its 12GB VRAM makes it a reliable and affordable option for budget builds. Additionally, the decision to use a two-generations-old GPU architecture in 2026 is puzzling, as the reason NVIDIA has chosen the RTX 3060 instead of a newer model like the RTX 4060 remains unclear. Speculatively, it could be because the RTX 4060 is based on the same NVIDIA 4N (5 nm-class) node at TSMC as the current RTX 5060, while the RTX 3060, along with the rest of the GeForce "Ampere" generation, is built on the Samsung 8N (8 nm DUV) foundry node. This would leave the 5 nm capacity for "Blackwell" and its enterprise variants.
The biggest games still dominate, but more playtime and revenue are moving below the Top 20 - briefly
(hx) 08:28 PM CEST - Apr,17 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
Newzoo's PC & Console Gaming Report 2026 shows that games ranked 21 and below now generate 56% of PC revenue in major Western markets in 2025, up from 48% in 2022 — the only platform where non-blockbusters claim the majority of spending.

On consoles, outside-Top-20 titles lag far behind at just 38% of PlayStation revenue and 35% of Xbox revenue.

PC playtime beyond the Top 20 surged from 33% to 42%, with those games seeing 44% more hours played while total PC playtime grew 14% and Top 20 playtime stayed flat.

This thriving long tail — fueled by Steam discovery, indies, mods, and enduring back-catalog hits — underpins PC's structural edge, with Newzoo forecasting PC revenue to overtake consoles globally by 2028 at a 6.6% CAGR.
AMD Ships Dual Vulnerable Kernel Drivers in Razer Blade 16 BIOS Updater, Fueling BYOVD Fears - tech
(hx) 06:06 PM CEST - Apr,17 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
Security researcher @weezerOSINT has discovered that AMD is bundling the previously undocumented vulnerable driver BiosToolCommonDriver.sys (internal name: affdriver) inside the official Razer Blade 16 (2026 model) BIOS updater package. This WHQL- and AMD-signed driver, dated October 2023, exposes 18 powerful IOCTLs that let any admin-level process read/write arbitrary physical memory, PCI config space, CPU MSRs, perform raw port I/O, access BIOS flash, and bypass KASLR—capabilities ideal for ransomware and state-sponsored attacks.

It sits alongside the long-known dangerous amigendrv64.sys, which has been publicly flagged for years in BIOS tools from multiple vendors and frequently blocked by Windows security features. Neither driver carries a CVE, and BiosToolCommonDriver.sys is absent from Microsoft’s HVCI blocklist, leaving systems exposed to Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) exploits that can silently disable antivirus from kernel mode.
Steam Deck Pragmata Offline Crash Fixed with Simple DRM Bypass - briefly
(hx) 05:47 PM CEST - Apr,17 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Pragmata players on Steam Deck have been facing frustrating crashes when launching the game offline due to a conflict between Denuvo DRM and Proton's translation layer. The RE Engine fails to verify the license without an internet connection, causing black screens or returns to the library.

To resolve it, connect to Wi-Fi first, launch the game to generate a local Denuvo offline token, then fully exit, force Proton Experimental compatibility, and switch SteamOS to Offline Mode. This workaround allows reliable offline play for the single-player lunar adventure, though the token lasts about 14 days before needing renewal.
Prerequisites: You must start with a stable Wi-Fi connection. The offline token lasts about 14 days before needing renewal.
  1. Generate the Local Denuvo Security Token
    Connect your Steam Deck to Wi-Fi.
    Launch Pragmata normally from your library.
    Wait until it fully loads to the main menu and your latest save file in the safe room.
    Save your progress, then completely exit the game.
  2. Force Proton Experimental Compatibility
    In your Steam Deck library, highlight Pragmata.
    Press the Options button (gear icon).
    Go to Properties - Compatibility.
    Check “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool.”
    Select Proton Experimental from the dropdown (it may download a small update).
  3. Switch SteamOS to Offline Mode
    Press the physical Steam button.
    Go to Settings - Internet tab.
    Toggle Enter Offline Mode and confirm the Steam restart prompt.
After Steam restarts in Offline Mode, you can safely enable Airplane Mode to save battery. Launch Pragmata — it should now run offline without crashing. Repeat the token generation every ~14 days.

Sam Altman Faces Scrutiny Over OpenAI Conflicts Ahead of Massive IPO - tech
(hx) 11:14 AM CEST - Apr,17 2026 - Post a comment
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who holds no equity in the company and earned roughly $76,000 in salary, has drawn criticism for pushing potential deals involving his personal investments. He urged OpenAI to invest hundreds of millions in Helion Energy—a nuclear fusion firm where he has a $375 million stake—prompting internal unease among employees.

Altman recently stepped down from Helion’s board as the two companies explore large-scale power partnerships for AI data centers. He also reportedly explored acquiring or partnering with rocket startup Stoke Space, linked to his husband’s investments, though those talks have since cooled.

Despite slipping AI leadership and missed fusion timelines, OpenAI’s $850 billion IPO remains on track.
