Cyberpunk 2077 heads up July's PS Plus Game Catalog additions

PlayStation Plus members can visit Night City on the house. Years after its botched release, the now-polished Cyberpunk 2077 is now in Sony's Game Catalog. Other July arrivals include the Half-Life-esque Abiotic Factor and the banana republic sim Tropico 6. Had Cyberpunk 2077 launched in its current state, it may have been a 2020 Game of the Year candidate. Alas, that wasn't the case.

With 20,000Pa Industrial-Grade Suction, This Eufy Robot Vacuum and Mop Hits a New Low on Amazon

Theory is that mop-capable robot vacuums are a great idea, but in application, the performance doesn’t nearly equal real cleaning ability. The majority of models leave dust, dirt or streaks behind which can be disheartening when you desire floors to be gleaming clean. That’s where the eufy E25 Omni robot vacuum and mop combo is good at: With industrial-grade suction power, it ensures your floors are left immaculate after every clean. Few brands offer anything close to the 20,000Pa of suction th

AI mania pushes Nvidia to record $4 trillion valuation

On Wednesday, Nvidia became the first company in history to reach $4 trillion market valuation as shares rose more than 2 percent, reports CNBC.

A cheaper Apple Vision is still a few years away

Last month, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo indicated that a cheaper model of Apple Vision Pro wasn’t due until late 2027. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now corroborated that timeline in a new report that says the device, codenamed N100, will be both “lighter and cheaper”. However, the device’s design has not yet been finalized. Work on the project is apparently expected to be finished in 2026, with a ramp up to a public launch in 2027. In the meantime, Apple will debut a new Apple Vision Pro generation fe

This iOS 26 strategy shift could make the next year Apple’s best yet

With iOS 26, Apple has made a key strategy shift: it’s no longer pre-announcing major new features that won’t be available for months to come. Here’s why I think that’s a great decision by Apple, and why it could make for an exciting 12 months.

The company pre-announced major new features for Siri, but failed to actually deliver those features. But iOS

Im Never Splitting AirPods With My Wife Again Thanks to This iPhone Trick

When my wife and I travel, we usually download some shows to watch on our flight. But we always have to split a set of AirPods when we watch these shows so we each have one earbud.

A fast 3D collision detection algorithm

This article will assume some familiarity with narrow phase collision detection methods and associated geometric concepts such as the Minkowski sum. A few years ago I was watching Dirk’s great presentation, The Separating Axis Test between Convex Polyhedra (video, slides). Around the 18 minute mark (slide 29) he starts talking about overlaying Gauss maps of convex polyhedra to find the faces of their Minkowski difference. Figure 1: A gauss map for two convex hulls The upshot is that all faces

Tree Borrows

The Rust programming language is well known for its ownership-based type system, which offers strong guarantees like memory safety and data race freedom. However, Rust also provides unsafe escape hatches, for which safety is not guaranteed automatically and must instead be manually upheld by the programmer. This creates a tension. On the one hand, compilers would like to exploit the strong guarantees of the type system—particularly those pertaining to aliasing of pointers—in order to unlock powe
