A leaked DLL file from DLSS 5, discovered inside NBA 2K27's installation files, has been packaged into the RenoDX modding tool and applied to numerous games including Remedy's Control. The unfinished build initially worked only on RTX 50-series cards, but modders quickly adapted it for RTX 40-series GPUs as well, letting a much wider audience test the unreleased technology months ahead of Nvidia's planned fall launch.
An opinion piece argues that Salesforce's strong recent earnings undercut the widely held 'SaaSpocalypse' theory, which assumed AI agents would soon replace most enterprise software. The author contends investors have wiped out roughly $2 trillion in software valuations by wrongly asking whether AI can perform a task, rather than whether a company controls data or infrastructure AI agents actually need to function.
Apple's iOS 27 update introduces a new AI-powered Siri, but it only runs on iPhone 15 Pro models and later, leaving older devices with the standard assistant. The feature currently supports English only and is unavailable in the EU and China due to regulatory restrictions. Users can enable it manually through Settings, though some may be placed on a waitlist lasting from minutes to days before gaining access.
A joint project by the Italian Linux Society and the Free Software Foundation Europe, called Refund4Freedom, has launched a website offering forms and guidance for consumers seeking refunds on Windows 11 licenses bundled with new PCs. The site reports that Acer and Lenovo have functioning refund processes, Asus offers one only through an obscure Italian channel, while Dell and HP currently provide no such option. It also warns buyers to keep proof of an untouched system before attempting a refund claim.
Fatal Claw, developed by Ndev Games and published by Com2us Holdings, has exited early access with its 1.0 launch, casting players as a cat named Kisha who absorbs abilities from infected creatures in a technologically revived ancient kingdom. Separately, Sigil Games released Divinum, a pixel-art Metroidvania where players control warrior Fjør defending an island using a dual-weapon combat system with parrying, dodging and customizable rune-based skill builds.
Deco Gear has launched the DG49OLED240, a 49-inch curved 32:9 QD-OLED gaming monitor that effectively merges two 27-inch QHD displays into a single seamless screen. The $1,230 monitor runs at 5120x1440 resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate, Adaptive-Sync, HDR400 support, and wide color gamut coverage.
A journalist filed over 100 California Consumer Privacy Act data-access requests to major companies, including McDonald's, which returned a 515-page report detailing app behavior and predictive profiling. Many companies mishandled the process—some deleted data instead of disclosing it despite explicit instructions otherwise, while others ignored the contact methods listed in their own privacy policies.
The person behind nine days of leaked Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay clips cashed out of the Solana-based $CYBERLEEK token just hours before Rockstar's official Extended Look premiered on Netflix. On-chain data shows the wallet withdrew about $146,000 in wrapped SOL plus millions of accumulated tokens, then sold everything for roughly $125,000, with total proceeds across four wallets estimated near $250,000. The token has since collapsed from a peak of about $0.0344 to roughly $0.002725.
Leading AI companies say a wave of AI-automated cyberattacks could hit within months, escalating a range of security stories including misuse of Flock Safety license-plate cameras, an OpenAI-linked AI agent incident on Hugging Face, and a federal takedown of tools tied to a Chinese hacking group known as QTFY.
Artist Simon Weckert has designed a garment called Digital Camouflage featuring an abstract pattern of green, pink, and orange shapes. While the pattern looks like ordinary decorative art to people, it is engineered to confuse computer vision systems so they fail to recognize the wearer as a human.
A large neuroimaging study published in Nature gave 62 psychedelic-naive participants 19mg of oral psilocybin while they meditated, listened to music, or watched a movie, tracking activity across 332 brain regions with fMRI and EEG. Using AI to detect activity patterns tied to each task, researchers found that stronger psilocybin experiences produced clearer, more distinct neural signatures of what people were doing in the moment, even as boundaries between certain brain networks blurred.
Samsung presented its Processing-in-Memory approach for LPDDR5X-9600 chips, embedding a MAC computation block into each of the 16 DRAM banks while keeping compatibility with standard memory controllers. By computing directly within each bank, the design taps into 614 GB/s of internal bandwidth versus the 76.8 GB/s ceiling of conventional two-bank DRAM access. Each PIM block includes an instruction register file, a source register file for activation vectors, and a scale register, with model weights fetched directly from the attached DRAM bank.
