CXMT president Cao Kanyu said the Chinese memory maker plans to ship its first 4F²-based product, a server DDR5 RDIMM, before year-end, though speeds and capacities remain unannounced. The chip uses a denser vertical-transistor cell layout, called Vertical Surrounded Gate, that shrinks cell area roughly one-third versus current 6F² designs, and CXMT says it holds over 300 patent families related to the technology.
Hello Games is bringing No Man's Sky to iOS devices on October 28, priced at $19.99 with a free trial available beforehand. The mobile version includes all content and updates released since launch and runs on hardware as old as the iPhone 11 and third-generation iPad Air, though multiplayer is unsupported and planetary base-building is restricted to iPhone 15 Pro and newer.
Wikipedia editors, who once hoped AI would merely automate formatting and citations, found generative models flooding the encyclopedia with fabricated sources and generic filler text. A Princeton study found roughly 5% of nearly 3,000 new English Wikipedia articles in August 2024 contained substantial AI-generated content. By March 2026, Wikimedia had banned editors from writing articles with large language models, limiting AI use to translation and minor proofreading.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said last week's three strikes on Russian company Yandex's data centers reduced bot activity across social media, saying platforms felt less divisive and less manipulated as a result. Separately, X users and tech commentators noted that Elon Musk's post engagement numbers dropped sharply in the days following the strikes, with daily like averages falling from tens of thousands to under 5,000 on some posts.
Apple has launched a new Apple TV 4K featuring its A19 chip, promising 50% faster CPU and up to twice the GPU performance of the prior model, along with three far-field microphones for hands-free Siri commands powered by Apple Intelligence. The device ships with a redesigned remote made of recycled aluminum that supports Find My and Precision Finding, and preorders open today ahead of a November 13 launch at $299, with the remote sold separately for $59.
An ongoing investigation has found that counterfeit or tampered Ledger hardware wallets, sold through third-party resellers like Cryptobilis in Southeast Asia and elsewhere, contained hidden eSIM and LTE chips capable of capturing users' recovery phrases. Researchers say more than $93 million has already been stolen from affected users, while wallets purchased directly from Ledger remain unaffected. Cryptobilis has halted sales of all hardware wallet brands while the investigation continues.
Design educator Jarrett Fuller has published 'Graphic Designers After Graphic Design' via Princeton Architectural Press this fall. The book, discussed in a conversation format, argues that the field now extends far beyond traditional outputs like posters, logos and websites.
Digital art institution Le Random has released an interactive project called The Living Timeline, which maps the history of generative art from prehistoric markings to contemporary AI diffusion models. The timeline includes crosshatched ocher engravings found in Blombos Cave in South Africa, dated to roughly 71,000 BCE, as an early example of rule-based or systems-driven creative output.
Director Alex Gibney's nearly four-hour documentary 'Musk' debuts in theaters this Friday after Elon Musk declined to be interviewed. Gibney instead built an AI simulation of Musk from his public statements, while interviewing dozens of associates including Musk's father Errol, first wife Justine Musk, ex-girlfriend Ashley St. Claire, and journalists Kara Swisher and Katie Drummond.
A set of open issues on Rust's GitHub repository documents unsoundness bugs in the compiler's borrow checker, some tied to destructors, lifetimes, and variance handling, with reports dating back as far as 11 years. The issues are tagged as high-priority soundness holes and flagged for review by Rust's types team.
Samsung's launch promotion for the Galaxy Tab S12 Plus remains active, giving buyers a free $200 Amazon gift card. The offer is limited to customers who hold an Amazon Prime membership.
A bug reported to Rootshell revealed that ICQ's authentication servers could be accessed using any account's UIN paired with a 9-character password, bypassing the real password entirely. The developer of a Linux ICQ client discovered the flaw after a user mistyped a password but was still logged in, tracing it to a buffer overflow in Mirabilis's server-side password check. Rootshell confirmed the bug and published exploit details, including sample code and a 'password' like '123456789' that overruns the 8-character buffer.
