PS5 PRO PSSR 2 Update - More Games Confirmed - console
(hx) 05:59 PM CET - Mar,16 2026 - Post a comment
PSSR is not new, but now its improved version is coming, referred to as PSSR 2.0, which will be available as early as March. The first title to use this technology is Resident Evil Re:Verse (Recumming), which according to tests already delivers noticeably better image quality and at the same time should be less demanding on performance, which means better frame rates.

PSSR 2.0 is based on AMD FSR 4 technology, but it is not its direct implementation, but rather a modified and optimized version for the specifics of the PlayStation 5 Pro. In the future, this technology should be available not only in new games like Crimson Desert, but also in older games if developers make the necessary updates. It has already been confirmed that Remedy Entertainment's Control and Alan Wake 2, for example, will receive PSSR 2.0, which will bring improved visual quality even in performance mode at 60 frames per second.

Hisense TVs Hit with Backlash Over Intrusive Unskippable Ads - tech
(hx) 08:44 AM CET - Mar,16 2026 - Post a comment / read (5)
Hisense smart TVs running the VIDAA operating system, recently rebranded as Home OS, have begun displaying non-skippable full-screen video ads during routine actions like powering on, switching HDMI inputs, or changing channels, affecting users across the UK, Spain, Germany, Australia, and beyond despite some having disabled ad-related settings.
The company dismissed the rollout as a "temporary spot test" limited to Spain that has since ended, but consumer reports dating back over a year contradict this, with workarounds like disconnecting Wi-Fi or using external streaming devices becoming popular to bypass the interruptions.

This ad strategy ties into broader privacy concerns, as Hisense faces an ongoing Texas lawsuit filed in December 2025 accusing it of using Automated Content Recognition (ACR) technology to capture viewer data every 500 milliseconds for targeted ads without consent, resulting in a temporary restraining order halting data collection in the state.

Users have voiced widespread frustration on social media and forums, calling for mass returns and alternatives like projectors, while experts warn this reflects a growing trend in smart devices prioritizing ad revenue over user experience.

Hisense has partnerships with ad firms like Nexxen to expand programmatic native advertising on its platforms, further fueling debates on the ethics of post-purchase software changes.

AMD's High-Speed RAM Trap: Why Faster Isn't Always Better for Ryzen Users - tech
(hx) 12:19 AM CET - Mar,16 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
A viral X post has highlighted a common pitfall for AMD AM5 platform users, warning that enabling DDR5 EXPO profiles above 6000 MT/s often defaults the memory controller clock (UCLK) to a 1:2 ratio with the memory clock (MCLK), resulting in higher latency and suboptimal performance in games and latency-sensitive tasks. Tech experts confirm this behavior stems from AMD's Zen 4 and Zen 5 architectures, where the "sweet spot" remains DDR5-6000 in a 1:1 UCLK:MCLK ratio for the best balance of speed, stability, and low latency, as recommended by AMD since the Ryzen 7000 launch.

Users can manually force a 1:1 ratio in BIOS for higher speeds like 6400 MT/s, but success depends on CPU sample quality and may require voltage tweaks, with tests showing negligible gains over tuned 6000 MT/s kits in real-world scenarios.

For Ryzen 9000 series chips like the 9800X3D mentioned in the post, sticking to 1:1 mode often yields better frame rates in gaming benchmarks compared to higher frequencies in 1:2 mode, according to overclocking communities and hardware reviews.

Xbox's Golden Era Returns to PC: Microsoft Rumored to Launch Official Original Xbox & 360 Emulation for 25th Anniversary - briefly
(hx) 09:25 AM CET - Mar,15 2026 - Post a comment / read (4)
Microsoft is reportedly developing official emulation for original Xbox and Xbox 360 games on Windows PCs, potentially debuting in November 2026 via the Xbox app to celebrate the brand’s 25th anniversary and let users play their full digital libraries natively.

Leaker NateTheHate claims the Xbox backward-compatibility team has pursued this for over a year, directly tying it to Xbox VP Jason Ronald’s recent statement about "iconic games from the past" being playable in "entirely new ways." If realized, the move would make PCs Microsoft’s most future-proof Xbox platform, preserving libraries across hardware generations and building on existing Series X/S backward compatibility.
The rumor echoes earlier 2025 reports of emulation experiments and aligns with broader Xbox-Windows convergence plans, though Microsoft has not yet confirmed it. Gamers are already buzzing about reviving classics like Gears of War without relying on third-party emulators.

voices38 just cracked a 2025-era Denuvo game with a proper crack - briefly
(hx) 12:03 AM CET - Mar,15 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
In a major blow to anti-piracy efforts, the acclaimed shooter DOOM: The Dark Ages, released on May 14, 2025, by id Software and protected by Denuvo DRM, has been fully cracked by the scene group voices38, marking the first proper breach of a 2025-era Denuvo title without relying on hypervisor workarounds.
This follows an earlier hypervisor bypass in February 2026 by hacker OxZeOn, but voices38's version offers improved stability, eliminating crashes and enhancing gameplay performance for unauthorized copies. The crack, released on March 13, 2026, has sparked widespread discussion on platforms like Reddit and 4chan, where users hail it as a victory against Denuvo's notorious performance hits, including up to 20% FPS drops reported in benchmarks.
Critics argue Denuvo harms legitimate players by degrading experience and often gets removed post-launch, fueling boycotts, while piracy advocates view such cracks as essential for game preservation. Voices38 teased that their next target "might surprise you," with speculation pointing to upcoming titles like Resident Evil Requiem or Stellar Blade.

Old-School TDK DVD-RWs Reign Supreme in Brutal 6-Month Rewrite Marathon - But They're Gone Forever - tech
(hx) 11:25 PM CET - Mar,14 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
A six-month endurance test by tech enthusiast Dr. Gough Lui subjected rewritable DVDs to over 1,000 rewrite cycles using automated drives and rigorous error checking. TDK-branded DVD-RW discs emerged as the clear winner, with one model surviving beyond 1,000 cycles (potentially 2,000 counting writes and erases separately) while maintaining data integrity. In contrast, popular brands like Verbatim and Memorex performed poorly and failed much earlier. The results highlight that the highest-quality rewritable DVD media, led by TDK, are no longer manufactured, leaving only limited current options like Maxell, Ridata, and SmartBuy. This underscores the declining state of rewritable optical disc technology in an era dominated by faster storage alternatives.
Xbox One has finally be HACKED!! - briefly
(hx) 10:56 PM CET - Mar,14 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
In a groundbreaking presentation at RE//verse 2026, security researcher Markus Gaasedelen revealed a hardware exploit targeting the original 2013 Xbox One's boot ROM, using voltage glitching to bypass memory protection units and eFuses for full code execution. This unpatchable method, which compromises the Platform Security Processor in the AMD SoC, enables decryption of firmware and games, primarily aimed at preservation and repairs rather than piracy. The attack requires minimal wiring but boasts a success rate of just 1 in 1,000,000, often taking days of attempts and risking console damage, making it impractical for widespread use.

Gaasedelen's three-year effort, involving dozens of destroyed consoles, marks the end of the Xbox One's decade-long unhackable streak, hailed as a win for Microsoft's security team despite the breakthrough. While enthusiasts celebrate potential ROM hacking, the exploit's complexity limits its impact on modern gaming.

Limited to 2013 models; later consoles (S, X, Series) have been hardened further.

Chuwi Caught in Major CPU Scam: Selling Old Ryzen Chips Disguised as New - tech
(hx) 10:19 AM CET - Mar,14 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Chinese electronics brand Chuwi has been accused of misleading customers by advertising its CoreBook X and CoreBook Plus laptops with the newer AMD Ryzen 5 7430U processor, while shipping units equipped with the older Ryzen 5 5500U chip.

Independent tests by NotebookCheck revealed that firmware modifications caused the BIOS, Windows, and diagnostic tools to falsely report the superior 7430U model, with the discrepancy only detectable after physical disassembly. Performance fell short of advertised specs by up to 10-20%, due to differences in architecture, clock speeds, and cache size between the Zen 2-based 5500U and the Zen 3-based 7430U. Chuwi initially claimed the issue stemmed from leftover production stock but responded to the exposé by threatening legal action against the reporting outlet. The scandal has sparked widespread consumer distrust toward the budget manufacturer's transparency and product claims.
