NVIDIA's GeForce Now with RTX 5080 GPUs is a cloud gaming revelation

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-08 06:00:00

If you had told me five years ago that playing PC games over the cloud would soon look indistinguishable from using a powerful rig, I would have called you a fool. But after diving into NVIDIA's new RTX 5080-powered GeForce Now servers for several hours, I think we've reached a major milestone for cloud streaming. From a New Jersey server almost a thousand miles away from my Atlanta-area home, I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K at 170 fps (with NVIDIA's DLSS 4 frame generation) and Overwatc

AI vs. MAGA: Populists alarmed by Trump’s embrace of AI, Big Tech

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-08 06:41:17

Flanked by Silicon Valley’s most powerful executives in the White House last week, Melania Trump hailed artificial intelligence as potentially “the greatest engine of progress in the history of the United States of America.” Less than a mile from the first lady, in a hotel ballroom packed with MAGA faithful, top Republican Josh Hawley had a different message.

Rendezvous Robotics exits stealth with $3M to build reconfigurable space infrastructure

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-10-08 06:00:00

For decades, engineers designing space structures have been constrained by the rocket fairing: only hardware that can be folded up to fit inside can go to orbit. This makes in-space assembly time intensive and expensive. The International Space Station, the largest single object humanity has built in space, was assembled over dozens of launches and cost over $100 billion. And, of course, there is no way to modify or alter the structure once it has been assembled. Rendezvous Robotics wants to c
