Fallout season two has a teaser trailer and a December 17 release date

Things are ramping up for a return to the wasteland this winter. Season two of Prime Video's Fallout TV show will debut on December 17. The second season had already been loosely pegged for a December release when the news of a third season appeared earlier this year, and the studio shared a few still images of the cast in the upcoming New Vegas setting just yesterday. The announcement during the Opening Night Live show for Gamescom 2025 also included a surprisingly lengthy teaser trailer with

When Will You Get Your Hands on the iPhone 17? We're Tracking the Release Date

We could be a month away from new iPhone 17 models showing up in stores and in fleets of delivery trucks nationwide, but of course Apple is mum until the new phones are formally announced.

iPhone 18 Reportedly Won't Launch Until 2027 Because of Foldable iPhone

NordVPN will discontinue Meshnet on December 1

NordVPN announced today in a blog post that its Meshnet feature will shut down on December 1.

Compiler Bug Causes Compiler Bug: How a 12-Year-Old G++ Bug Took Down Solidity

Compilers aren't supposed to crash — especially not when compiling perfectly valid code like this: // SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED pragma solidity ^0.8.25; contract A { function a () public pure returns ( uint256 ) { return 1 ** 2 ; } } Yet running Solidity's compiler (solc) on this file on a standard Ubuntu 22.04 system (G++ 11.4, Boost 1.74) causes an immediate segmentation fault. At first, this seemed absurd. The code just returns 1 to the power of 2 — no memory tricks, unsafe casti
