Steam is ending support for Windows 32-bit next year

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-23 22:10:57

Steam is officially dropping Windows 32-bit support at the end of this year, the company announced today. The only 32-bit version of Windows that is currently supported by Steam is Windows 10 32-bit. The company says 0.01 percent of systems reported through the Steam Hardware Survey are using that version of Windows. On any given day, Steam sees just over 36 million daily users , so it's safe to assume that this change will only affect a few thousand gamers. While this doesn't mean that your St

James Martin/CNET NordVPN and Surfshark are two of the best virtual private network providers on the market, and while they share some similarities -- including the same parent company -- each packs unique offerings. NordVPN is our pick for the fastest VPN, based on our hands-on testing, while Surfshark earns our vote for the best value VPN.

The FTC is suing Ticketmaster for illegally ‘coordinating’ with brokers

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-23 22:37:40

The latest targets in the White House’s on-again-off-again antitrust war are Ticketmaster and Live Nation, two villains that everyone appears to agree on. The Federal Trade Commission is accusing Ticketmaster (which owns Live Nation) of allowing ticket brokers to illegally exceed limits on purchases and then profiting off the inflated resale value. Customers often pay significantly more than the face value because resellers have snatched up all the tickets. And when a ticket is resold through Ti

Astronomers have been fascinated after spotting an object earlier this year that came from interstellar space as is now hurtling through our inner solar system. Since then, they've been using powerful telescopes to study the mysterious object, trying to understand its unusual composition and exact origins. Most agree that it's probably a comet, albeit an unusual one, though at least one has posited that it could be a remnant of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization — a colorful claim, but o

Jaguar Smashes Record for the Species’ Longest Recorded Swim, Baffling Scientists

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-24 06:12:47

Despite what they say about cats and water, jaguars are powerful swimmers. These predators rarely stray from the rivers and wetlands that permeate their rainforest habitat, and they readily dive in to hunt for prey. Usually, these dips are relatively brief: Until now, the farthest jaguar swim on record was just 656 feet (200 meters). But now, scientists have observed a jaguar in Brazil smashing that record as if they were a feline Michael Phelps, with the big cat seemingly paddling for more tha
