The Next Digimon Game's Deep Customization Could Be Catnip for Pokemon Breeders

I'm halfway through my 3-hour demo playing Digimon Story Time Stranger when I finally muster the courage to de-evolve one of my most powerful monsters. Why? So I can build them back up from level 1 to be even stronger -- and grow them along a different evolutionary path. For casual players, this may sound excessive. For hardcore role-playing game fans keen on building their fighters to the peak of performance, these expansive possibilities are exactly what they've been waiting for. Digimon Stor

Tesla Wants Out of the Car Business

Elon Musk still makes some of America’s best electric cars. Earlier this summer, I rented a brand-new, updated Tesla Model Y, the first refresh to the electric SUV since it debuted, in 2020. Compared with even just two years ago, when the Model Y became the world’s best-selling car, many companies make great EVs now. Some of them have the Model Y beat in certain areas, but for the price, the Tesla is still the total package. Now, imagine how good Teslas could be if Musk apparently wasn’t so bor

SpaceX strikes $17B deal to buy EchoStar’s spectrum for Starlink’s direct-to-phone service

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has agreed to acquire 50MHz of wireless spectrum and Mobile Satellite Service spectrum licenses from EchoStar, for use in the Starlink satellite network. EchoStar will sell its AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses in exchange for $8.5 billion in cash and $8.5 billion SpaceX stock. SpaceX said the deal would let it develop and deploy its “Direct to Cell” constellation, which it claims can provide broadband-speed internet access to mobile phones across the world. Of the cash, $2

The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 5x camera could finally get a loooooong overdue upgrade

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 5x camera is tipped to have a wider aperture. This would enable brighter, cleaner shots, particularly in low-light conditions. It would also allow for 5x portrait snaps with more natural bokeh effects. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks continue to stream in, and we recently saw camera specs surface online. Now, a trusted leaker has revealed even more details about the Ultra phone’s camera hardware. Don’t want to miss the

CEO Who Created AI Startup to Cheat on Homework Complains That AI Is Destroying Education

Months after debuting Cluely, the "undetectable AI that thinks for you," 21-year-old tech entrepreneur Chungin "Roy" Lee is decrying the dismal state of education due to AI. Indeed, there's little doubt that AI has completely flipped education on its head. The availability of large language models (LLMs) at the press of a finger is all but obliterating the minds of an entire generation of students, making literacy a thing of the past as big tech money floods into schools and teachers unions.

Czech cyber agency warns against Chinese tech in critical infrastructure

The Czech Republic's National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NUKIB) is instructing critical infrastructure organizations in the country to avoid using Chinese technology or transferring user data to servers located in China. The agency warned that these actions constitute a significant cybersecurity threat and should be entirely avoided unless there's a reasonable justification for continuing the practice. The NUKIB states that it has re-evaluated its risk estimate of significant disru

The race to build a distributed GPU runtime

For a decade, GPUs have delivered breathtaking data processing speedups. However, data is growing far beyond the capacity of a single GPU server. When your work drifts beyond GPU local memory or VRAM (e.g., HBM and GDDR), hidden costs of inefficiencies show up: spilling to host, shuffling over networks, and idling accelerators. Before jumping straight into the latest distributed computing effort underway at NVIDIA and AMD, let’s quickly level set on what distributed computing is, how it works, a

China Is Suddenly Deploying AI Everywhere

While the United States rushes head-first into a self-inflicted economic crisis in an attempt to develop AI with human-level intelligence, China is eying a different goal. Last week, the Chinese State Council unveiled its ten-year plan to fully integrate AI into every aspect of the country's economy by 2035. Called "AI+," the ambitious plan sees AI becoming a "key growth engine for the country's economic development," a transformation mirroring that of the internet age. As the Wall Street Jour

Silksong reviews drop to mostly negative for Chinese players due to confusing translations

For most Hollow Knight: Silksong players, the combat is challenging and the boss fights are punishing. However, there's another layer of complexity for anyone playing the sequel in Simplified Chinese: the bizarre translations. On its Steam store page, Silksong currently sits at a "Mostly Positive" rating across reviews in all languages. Once you filter for the Simplified Chinese reviews, the Metroidvania-style game plummets to "Mostly Negative." There are plenty of complaints about Silksong bei

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 Reveal Could Be a Few Days Away

By this time next week, we'll know exactly what Apple has planned for its new Apple Watch lineup. But one thing already seems very likely: a refreshed version of the rugged Ultra. Not only is it due for an upgrade (the Ultra 2 debuted in September 2023), but Apple may have actually dropped the biggest clue yet. Buried in the public beta of iOS 26 (first spotted by MacRumors) are screen specs that don't match any existing Apple Watch model on the market, hinting at the arrival of an Apple Watch U

Porsche’s insanely clever hybrid engine comes to the 911 Turbo S

Today, Porsche debuted a new 911 variant at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany. It's the most powerful 911 to date, excluding some limited-run models, and may well be the quickest to 60 mph from a standing start, dispatching that dash in just 2.4 seconds. And it's all thanks to one of the most interesting hybrid powertrains on sale today. Rather than just bolting an electric motor to an existing 911, Porsche designed an entirely new 3.6 L flat-six engine, taking the opportunity to ditch t

SQLite's File Format

This document describes and defines the on-disk database file format used by all releases of SQLite since version 3.0.0 (2004-06-18). 1. The Database File The complete state of an SQLite database is usually contained in a single file on disk called the "main database file". During a transaction, SQLite stores additional information in a second file called the "rollback journal", or if SQLite is in WAL mode, a write-ahead log file. 1.1. Hot Journals If the application or host computer crashe

The key to getting MVC correct is understanding what models are

Smalltalk MVC is defined in Design Pattern as: MVC Consists of three kinds of objects. The Model is the application object, the View is its screen presentation, and the Controller defines the way the user interface reacts to user input. However this definition has been abused over the years - Back in 2003 I gave a talk citing how bad Apple’s definition was. At the time it stated: A view object knows how to display and possibly edit data from the application’s model… A controller object acts a

Zuckerberg caught on hot mic telling Trump 'I wasn't sure' how much to promise to spend on AI in the US

US President Donald Trump jokes with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg (L) as he hosts tech leaders for a dinner in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on September 4, 2025. (Photo by SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images) Mark Zuckerberg has certainly come a long way in his relationship with President Donald Trump. Almost exactly a year after the president threatened the Meta CEO with imprisonment, the two sat side-by-side at a White House dinner, alongside numerous other tech CEOs. T

A history of metaphorical brain talk in psychiatry

We first turn to Adolf Meyer, the most influential psychiatrist in the US over the first 3rd of the 20th century [27]. It should be recalled that until World War II, American psychiatry was a rather small profession, largely composed of superintendents of mental hospitals who largely had a biologically orientation to their work. In 1907, while the director of the New York Psychiatric Institute, Meyer wrote about his concerns of the narrow views that US physicians would typically take in their ap

Like humans, every tree has its own microbiome, a new study has found

A forest is a complex, dynamic ecosystem in which a rich array of living things, from old-growth trees to microscopic fungi, interact and depend on one another for survival. So is the inside of a tree, it turns out. Earlier this month, a team of scientists published the most comprehensive study of the microbiomes living inside tree trunks. Their findings suggest that the woody tissues of trees contain a trillion microbial cells above and beyond actual tree cells: communities of bacteria and si
