Star Citizen Hits $1 Billion in Funding - briefly
(hx) 07:15 PM CEST - May,25 2026 - Post a comment

Star Citizen has officially crossed **$1 billion** in total player funding after 14 years of development.

The ambitious space sim, still in Alpha with no full release date, continues raising money through ship sales and pledges.

Cloud Imperium Games says every dollar goes back into development of the massive multiplayer universe and the single-player Squadron 42 campaign.

Gabe Newell's Epic FBI Sting on Half-Life 2 Hacker - briefly
(hx) 06:40 PM CEST - May,25 2026 - Post a comment

A German hacker named Axel Gembe broke into Valve’s servers in 2003 and stole Half-Life 2’s source code before its release.

An unfinished playable version leaked online and spread rapidly among fans, building massive hype for the game.

Gabe Newell teamed up with the FBI and lured the hacker with a fake job interview offer to fly him to the US for arrest.

German police arrested him first at home, and he received only probation after confessing.

SSD Prices Explode - PS5 Upgrades Could Hit $2,000+ - tech
(hx) 06:31 PM CEST - May,25 2026 - Post a comment

High-capacity SSD prices have skyrocketed due to massive AI-driven demand for NAND flash memory. Popular 4-8TB models for PS5 upgrades are now listed between $2,000 and $3,000 if you order quickly.

Samsung recently raised prices on its 8TB 870 EVO SATA SSD to over $4,000 at some retailers. This surge makes large storage expansions extremely expensive for gamers.

Analysts link the increases to AI infrastructure consuming huge amounts of memory, tightening global supply. Sony may face higher costs for future consoles as a result.

12-Core CPU Swapped for X3D - Gaming Gains Huge - tech
(hx) 06:27 PM CEST - May,25 2026 - Post a comment

A tech reviewer replaced his 12-core Ryzen 9 5900X with an 8-core Ryzen 7 5800X3D and saw much bigger improvements than expected in high-refresh-rate gaming.

The extra 96MB of 3D V-Cache helped eliminate CPU bottlenecks, especially in competitive games like Valorant, Fortnite, and CS2 at 1440p 360Hz.

GPU usage jumped from 60-70% to over 90%, with smoother frame pacing and higher 1% lows. The upgrade shines most in CPU-heavy esports titles rather than 4K AAA games.

A stunning new Japanese Pokémon TCG card from the Abyss Eye set is turning heads with its breathtaking holographic design. Released on May 22, 2026, the Mega Darkrai ex SAR (Special Art Rare) features dynamic, shifting dark iridescent effects and powerful artwork by illustrator Akira Egawa.

Collectors are calling it one of the set's biggest chase cards thanks to its shadowy, eldritch aesthetic that perfectly captures Mega Darkrai's vibe. The card comes from a small booster set focused on Mega Evolutions, with an English version expected in the Pitch Black set this July.

$ESPORTS Crashes 93% in Brutal Team Dump - briefly
(hx) 05:56 PM CEST - May,25 2026 - Post a comment

A crypto token called $ESPORTS (Yooldo Games) plunged 93% in a single day, wiping out over $110 million in market cap and liquidating millions in long positions.

The team reportedly unlocked 60 million tokens from a multisig wallet, then dumped 178-197 million tokens (43% of circulating supply) into liquidity pools, cashing out roughly $13 million in BNB.

This massive sell-off completely drained buy-side liquidity and sent the price crashing toward zero. Retail investors were left holding nearly worthless tokens.

?CRASH$ESPORTS crashed -93% in a single day, wiping out over $110 MILLION in market cap and liquidating $4.72 million in longs.

There is a speculation that the majority of $ESPORTS supply was controlled by the team.

Here's how it happened:

Intel's Nova Lake Edge CPUs Pack Power with 8 E-Cores & Strong Graphics - tech
(hx) 04:58 PM CEST - May,25 2026 - Post a comment

Intel is developing Nova Lake CPUs specifically for edge computing applications. These chips will feature 8 E-cores based on the Arctic Wolf architecture and a powerful integrated GPU with 12 Xe3P cores.

This all-E-core design with strong graphics aims to deliver solid performance for edge platforms. The configuration focuses on efficiency and graphics capabilities rather than high-end desktop power. BGA packaging is expected for these variants. The configuration that was mentioned features 8 E-Cores based on the Arctic Wolf architecture and 12 Xe3P iGPU cores. This is an interesting configuration based on its all-E-Core and strong iGPU combo. The chip seemingly aims to provide powerful integrated graphics capabilities to Edge platforms, and 12 Xe3P cores should offer decent capabilities, as 12 Xe3 cores already offer great performance on the Panther Lake lineup.

When asked about whether the CPU will come in socketed designs, the leaker stated that Edge platforms will stick with a BGA design, but there are plans for Nova Lake for entry-level Xeons with 12 Xe3P cores, too.
The Nova Lake lineup is expected to launch later this year.

PC Gaming Turns into 'Hardware Scam'? - tech

JayzTwoCents sparked debate by claiming PC gaming is becoming a hardware scam. Developers rely too heavily on AI upscaling like DLSS and frame generation instead of optimizing games properly.

Samsung Electronics' memory division employees are set to receive massive performance bonuses of up to $400,000 each, fueled by the booming AI demand for DRAM and HBM chips.

Korean media reports luxury car dealerships, including Ferrari showrooms, are flooded with these well-paid workers snapping up exotic vehicles.

Meanwhile, other Samsung divisions received just $4,000 bonuses, sparking internal union disputes and lawsuits.

The AI-driven chip surge has driven consumer RAM prices sharply higher, frustrating PC gamers and electronics buyers.

Supermassive Games gives us a fresh take on sci-fi horror with Directive 8020 - the first game in its Dark Pictures Anthology line in three years, and also the first to jump to Unreal Engine 5. In the midst of that engine upgrade there are PS5 Pro upgrades. Ray Tracing is greatly improved via the use of hardware-based Lumen on Pro, while there's a separate PSSR toggle to consider.

Huawei has launched its new OceanDisk 1800 SSD series with huge capacities of 61.44TB and 122.88TB, aimed at AI inference and data centers.

The company uses innovative Die-on-Board packaging to mount more lower-layer NAND dies directly on the circuit board, bypassing US sanctions on advanced 3D NAND chips.

This allows higher storage density in a smaller space without relying on foreign high-layer tech.

A even larger 245TB version is planned for the future.

Back then, commercial Linux games with retail packaging were extremely uncommon. The nostalgic post has gamers sharing fond memories of early Linux gaming.

He Upgraded from a $200 Laptop to a 1.5TB RAM Beast - tech
(hx) 11:26 PM CEST - May,22 2026 - Post a comment
Chris Anderson shared how his collaborator Sean Jungbluth ditched a cheap $200 laptop for a powerful surplus server boasting 1.5TB of RAM, originally used for genome analysis. The massive machine, packed with RAM sticks, now helps run a pick-and-place robot turned into an automated "bug picker" for biology experiments. This setup uses Opulo tech to make advanced science more affordable and accessible for DIY researchers. The project highlights how surplus data center hardware is fueling innovation at the intersection of AI, robotics, and biology.

I asked Sean to "get a better computer than this trash $200 laptop" to run the pick-and-place and so he shows up with this monster with 1.5TB of RAM, which he got surplus at a great price to do genome analysis.

Firefox Crashes Fixed After Intel CPU Bug Exposed - tech
(hx) 11:01 PM CEST - May,22 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Intel's 13th and 14th generation Raptor Lake CPUs have hidden hardware bugs (RPL050 and RPL060) that cause cache errors and wrong data between processor cores.

These flaws triggered mysterious out-of-bounds crashes in Firefox for over a year, especially during hot weather in Europe, as the browser's compression code exposed the problem.

Intel issued a microcode update in early 2025 but didn't fully respond to Mozilla's concerns.

Mozilla added a smart workaround in Firefox 151.0.1 (released May 2026) that avoids the buggy code path and reduces crashes even without the CPU update.

Riot Games' Vanguard anti-cheat has updated to detect and permanently disable expensive DMA hardware cheats used in games like Valorant.

These physical devices, which plug into PCs to bypass normal security and cost up to $1,000 or more, now get their firmware corrupted upon detection.

Riot celebrated the win against cheaters on X, but the move has sparked debate over whether companies should alter user hardware.

Many players support tougher anti-cheat measures, while others worry about risks like false positives or overreach.
