Microsoft's SharePoint server platform was confirmed to be suffering from an exploit that has resulted in at least 54 organizations being breached, including a private university, a federal government health organization, and a California-based energy operator.

Microsoft has since responded to the vulnerability in a new security blog post, stating that over the last few days, it has evaluated the vulnerability along with the breaches associated with it and determined that they are linked to hacking groups affiliated with the Chinese government.

According to Microsoft, it has observed two named Chinese nation-state actors, Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon, who are exploiting the vulnerabilities in the SharePoint platform. Additionally, Microsoft says it has identified another China-based group taking advantage of the vulnerabilities, known as Storm-2603.

Battlefield has confirmed when it will be dropping the official reveal trailer for the highly anticipated Battlefield 6, and it's right around the corner.

In new social media posts and a video on YouTube, the name of the next Battlefield title has been confirmed to be Battlefield 6, which means the promotional packages that were sent out to creators and then leaked online were real. Additionally, the announcement confirms that the official reveal trailer for the upcoming title will be dropped on July 24.

Moreover, this announcement from the team behind Battlefield confirms previous rumors that a 3-day event for the upcoming game will be held at the end of the month, with the previous rumors saying the event will take place over 3 days and feature various creators that have been flown out to experience the title. There have been several leaks of Battlefield 6 pre-alpha footage, and for players curious about what it will entail, judging by gameplay, it seems Battlefield 6 will be a mixture of Battlefield 3 and 4.

Old School RuneScape has seen a surge in popularity this year, with the classic MMORPG recently surpassing a staggering 200,000 concurrent players, causing developers, Jagex, to upgrade the servers to balance the newfound growth.

RuneScape, a game that was originally released in January 2001, has gone through its many ups and downs throughout its lifetime, with the release of the Evolution of Combat in 2012 resulting in a mass exodus of players, to Jagex's petition to roll the servers back to classic 2007 RuneScape as an entirely separate game blowing far past its 50,000 needed mark with a staggering 449,351 votes.

That 2007 version of RuneScape is now far and away more popular than the original version of the game, and since its release in 2013, it has continued to grow in popularity, attracting both new and old players.

ChatGPT usage has jumped in a big way over the course of 2025, and according to a new report, the AI is now dealing with over 2.5 billion queries every day.

As you might expect, those are mostly from free users, and this is data from Axios, which contends that 330 million daily prompts are from people in the US.

To put these figures into perspective, as TechRadar (which flagged the report) observes, at the end of 2024, Sam Altman told us that ChatGPT was crunching through around a billion prompts on a daily basis.

Supermassive Games has announced via a recent social media post that it will be laying off several employees at the development studio and moving the release date for the anticipated Directive 8020.

The developer has cited the games industry being a "challenging and ever-evolving environment" as the reason for the now confirmed layoffs of 36 employees, and that the studio doesn't take these changes lightly. However, Supermassive writes that in order to adapt the new team structure to align with industry changes, it had to begin the redundancy process of employees, with the developer writing that it will be offering its full support to those affected.

As for the projects the developer is currently working on, Supermassive has decided to move the release date of Directive 8020 to "the first half of 2026." The developer praised the response gamers have had to the title, and said this delay will enable the studio to further polish the title to deliver the best experience it can for its fans.

Users of the cryptocurrency browser extension MetaMask have confirmed what some users are reporting, unusually high disk writing that has been tracked to 5 MB/s, which works out to just shy of 500GB of data per day (432GB to be exact).

That cryptocurrency extension is MetaMask, quite a popular browser extension that is typically used for some off-the-beaten-track cryptocurrencies that aren't on popular exchanges. The response from Consensys, the creators of MetaMask, comes after GitHub users discovered a critical bug within MetaMask after installing the extension on a fresh install of a Chromium-based browser.

According to reports, the bug results in the extension writing 5 MB/s continuously in the background, even if the user is logged out of the app. Notably, SSDs don't live forever, and while most are extremely well built, they still have a lifespan, and that lifespan is determined by how much data is written to the drive. Reading does impact the lifespan, but not as much as writing.

2004's Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is a cult classic, one of the first non-Valve PC games to utilize the Source engine, delivering a memorable RPG that is still widely regarded today. With the action taking place in 21st-century Los Angeles, this urban setting gave the game a unique, gritty look, which was unusual for a world with vampires, werewolves, and demons.

And thanks to the work of modder 'Safemilk,' Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines looks stunning. This RTX Remix mod, which makes use of NVIDIA's groundbreaking tool for remastering older PC games, is one of the more impressive mods currently in development as it features all-new "remodeled, retextured, and re-lit" visuals. And yes, this includes full path-traced lighting.

The only problem for fans of this classic game with a capable GeForce RTX GPU is that it's still very much in early development. However, the latest 0.0.2 update, called Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, is available to download and shows great promise. The incredible visual upgrade reminds us of the also-impressive Half-Life 2 RTX project, which is currently in development.

With the introduction of its new Radeon RX 9000 Series of graphics cards, AMD also introduced its new AI-powered FSR 4 upscaler, exclusive to its new RDNA 4 GPUs. With its significant improvement in image quality compared to FSR 3, FSR 4 finally sees AMD catch up to NVIDIA DLSS as a viable alternative. The only problem is that FSR 4 support is limited, especially when compared to the hundreds of games that support DLSS.

This is where the third-party, open-source OptiScaler comes in, an innovative tool that "intercepts upscaler calls from the game," allowing you to redirect them to your preferred upscaler. For GeForce RTX gamers, it offers them the ability to replace Intel's XeSS, AMD's FSR, or older versions of DLSS with the latest DLSS 4 technology. For Radeon gamers, it allows you to swap out DLSS with FSR, covering both Super Resolution and Frame Generation.

As part of OptiScaler's latest update, the tool now supports FSR 4 for Radeon RX 9000 Series owners. Yes, this means that you can enable FSR 4 in hundreds of DirectX 11 and 12 titles with DLSS, dramatically expanding FSR 4's reach.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took to X to confirm that the AI firm will have over 1 million GPUs online by the end of the year, which is an impressive statistic to visualize. However, as you try to picture what 1 million cutting-edge GPUs looks like, Sam Altman added that he'd much rather see 100 million GPUs go online.

After saying that he's "very proud of the team" for reaching the 1 million GPU milestone, he joked that they "better get to work figuring out how to 100x that." To put this figure into perspective, xAI's headline-grabbing Grok 4 model is powered by around 200,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, which suggests OpenAI is working with five times the GPU power as xAI.

The 100 million GPU figure is not currently feasible, as earlier this year, Sam Altman announced that OpenAI was delaying the release of its GPT 4.5 model because it was "out of GPUs." Which is a good problem to have if you're NVIDIA, as companies like OpenAI, xAI, Microsoft, and others are buying up GPUs as quickly as they can be produced.

The Atari 2600 was first launched in 1977, and the iconic wood-paneled video game console is widely regarded as the first device to bring gaming from the arcade to households. In 2025, the Atari 2600 is what you'd consider a relic, with primitive hardware and games that rendered large chunky pixels with a resolution of 160x192 on NTSC televisions.

You might be surprised to learn that you can still buy a brand-new Atari 2600 in 2025, but thanks to retro enthusiasts keeping old-school gaming, that's precisely the case. And with Atari partnering with Bandai Namco Entertainment America, you can pick up an Atari 2600+ PAC-MAN Edition console in signature PAC-MAN yellow.

It ships with a custom wireless joystick (something that wasn't available back in the late 1970s) and a PAC-MAN: Double Feature 2-in-1 cartridge, which includes both the Atari 2600 version of the game and the Atari 7800 version. Although it looks identical to the original Atari 2600, the Atari+ 2600 is built for the modern era with HDMI output and the ability to play both Atari 2600 and 7800 games.

At Computex 2024, AMD and Stability AI announced a partnership that introduced the world's first block FP16 stable diffusion model for image generation, offering improved quality and accuracy. This week, AMD is announcing another world's first, the FP16 SD 3.0 Medium model optimized for the AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series XDNA 2 NPUs.

Promising a "significant increase in image quality" for AI image generation using Stable Diffusion, those with compatible Ryzen AI-powered laptops can download Amuse 3.1 by Tensorstack to test it out today. As long as you've got 24GB of memory, Amuse 3.1's HQ mode will deliver 16-bit quality without the need for a dedicated GPU.

The results are impressive, with the ability to create Stable Diffusion 3.0 Medium model-powered images at a 4MP resolution (2048x2048) with XDNA Super Resolution. Best of all, it's free and doesn't require a subscription.

The handheld gaming device market is heating up with a bunch of options for gamers to sink their teeth into, and with Xbox officially joining the fray vicariously through ASUS ROG and the Ally devices, it was only a matter of time before other brands decided to make the same performance offering of those devices with their own handheld. Enter the Legion Go 2.

The Xbox Ally and Ally X are the first handheld devices to be rocking AMD's powerful Z2 Extreme AI APU, but those handhelds are now not alone, or at least according to In Yo, who posted a video of what they are claiming to be a prototype of Lenovo's Legion Go 2.

According to the video, the Legion Go 2 will also be rocking the Z2 Extreme AI APU, but it will be based on the Zen 4 process and not Zen 5 like the ROG Xbox Ally. The big difference between the two handhelds is the size of the display. The Legion Go 2 seems to feature an 8.8-inch screen, while the ROG Xbox Ally has a 7-inch screen.

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) has been recognized as the premier mathematics competition for some of the world's brightest young minds since 1959. With participants from a wide range of countries, each competitor is tasked with solving six "exceptionally difficult" problems spanning fields such as algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and number theory.

Only 8% of participants earn a gold medal, and now we can add Google's Gemini Deep Think AI to the list. This advanced version of Gemini solved five out of the six problems "perfectly" according to Google, which was enough for it to achieve a gold-medal performance. If you're wondering what the math problems were and the solutions, head here (PDF). But fair warning, it's a lot more advanced than 12 + 57.

"We can confirm that Google DeepMind has reached the much-desired milestone, earning 35 out of a possible 42 points - a gold medal score," IMO President, Prof. Dr. Gregor Dolinar said, adding that it was not only the solutions that were impressive, but how well laid out and easy to follow they were. "Their solutions were astonishing in many respects. IMO graders found them to be clear, precise, and most of them easy to follow."

245.76 Terabytes of storage is an impressive number, but it's what's called for in the age of generative AI and the insatiable demand for flash memory and storage. KIOXIA's new LC9 Series is the industry's first high-capacity 245.76 TB NVMe SSD built for the enterprise data center market, available in 2.5-inch and Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factors (EDSFF).

It's a game changer not only because of the capacity, but because KIOXIA's new LC9 Series is built using the company's latest flash memory technology. Powered by KIOXIA's new 8th Gen BiCS FLASH with CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology, you're getting 32 2-Terabit (Tb) dies to be stacked together to deliver industry-leading density.

And yes, this also means PCIe 5.0 speeds, with sequential read speeds of up to 12,000 MB/sec and sequential write speeds of up to 3,000 MB/sec. On an SSD offering nearly 250TB of storage capacity, it's impressive, alongside meeting the demands of cutting-edge generative AI setups.

The upcoming billiards simulator Pure Pool Pro has been confirmed to run at native 8K 60FPS without the use of PSSR upscaling on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Check it out in all of its 33 million pixels below:

Pure Pool Pro will run at native 8K 60FPS on the PS5 Pro console, and at native 4K 120FPS on the standard PS5, all without PSSR upscaling. Ripstone Games' boss George Holland explains: "We know this sounds like a tall claim, but the nature of the pool being fixed around the table, our relatively lightweight proprietary engine, and our initial pre-alpha testing before any optimisations leads us to believe it's achievable".

Holland continued, adding that because of the pool being fixed around the billiard table, the relatively lightweight proprietary engine, and in the studio's initial pre-alpha testing (this is before any optimization is done), the team believes that Pure Pool Pro will run at native 8K 60FPS on the PS5 Pro without upscaling.

Samsung Electronics is reportedly focusing on substance over speed when it comes to its bleeding-edge 2nm process node, with the South Korean company "preparing for a 3-4 year long-term competition with TSMC".

In a new report from DigiTimes picked up by insider @Jukanrosleve on X, we're hearing that the launch of Samsung's new 2nm process node is expected to launch in the second half of this year, behind TSMC in yield, but "steadily identifying areas for improvement".

US chip giants Apple, AMD, and NVIDIA are running to TSMC to have their next-gen 2nm chips made at the Taiwanese semiconductor fabs, but Samsung plans to leverage its improved yields and cost-effectiveness by 2026 to prepare for the long game.

NVIDIA and MediaTek have reportedly delayed their collaborative Arm-based AI PC processor into Q1 2026, after rumors that there were issues with the silicon in the last few days.

In a new report from DigiTimes, the outlet says their supply chain sources say that a combination of delays in Microsoft's operating system roadmap, ongoing chip revisions at NVIDIA, and weakening demand in the overall notebook market have seen the Arm-based AI PC processor delayed until the first quarter of 2026.

The two companies originally aimed to launch the "N1X" processor in Q3 2025, aiming at both the premium consumer and commercial sectors, but after the unveiling event not taking place at Computex 2025 in late May, and now the new issues with the silicon and Windows on Arm, we're looking at a possible CES 2026 reveal and Q1 2026 release.

Tesla has just opened its first 1950s-inspired retro-futuristic diner and drive-in Supercharger station in Los Angeles, but there are plans for more if this one is a success.

SpaceX and Tesla boss Elon Musk explained on his X post: "if our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes. An island of good food, good vibes & entertainment, all while Supercharging!"

The new Tesla Diner has massive screens in the car park that display videos, but those videos will play inside of your Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, or Cybertruck, too. So if you're Supercharging your Tesla and want to sit in the car in favor of sitting in the diner, you can enjoy some videos while you wait (even though your Tesla has multiple apps for video streaming such as Netflix, YouTube, and more).

We can expect the upcoming Battlefield 6 open beta to kick off on August 4, revealed by members of the 1BF Telegram group after they discovered the news inside the API on EA's backend servers.

They spotted the Battlefield 6 open beta build is expected on August 4, and while the open beta might not go live on that day, it should be very close to that from recent reports. EA is expected to officially unveil Battlefield 6 during a three-day event later this month, where the open beta should kick off shortly after.

Battlefield 6's big reveal event later this month will be joined by the opening of pre-orders -- which gamers should be careful about considering the mess of the last few entries in the franchise -- and according to another Redditor, a "early open beta access" line has been spotted in the API, which continues the trend of pre-orders giving gamers early access to beta tests.

ASUS has just launched its ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3: its first desktop system powered by NVIDIA's new GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip. Check it out:

The new NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Desktop Superchip combines the Grace Arm-based CPU with NVIDIA's new GB300 Blackwell Ultra GPU, the same hardware combination that powers the new DGX Station announced earlier this year at GTC 2025.

We have up to 784GB of unified LPDDR5X and HBM3E memory inside of the new ASUS ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 system, with next-gen Tensor Cores with enhanced FP4 precision, making the ASUS ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 desktop supercomputer perfect for AI training, inference, and large-scale model deployment.
