androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-10 06:13:48

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR RCS in Google Messages has been down in several regions since early August. Reports from Reddit and Google forums mention outages in Kenya, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and other countries. Google says carriers must act to restore RCS, fueling speculation it pulled back its Jibe support. Rich Communication Services (RCS) is supposed to be the future of texting on Android, and even Apple has agreed to support the modern replacement for SMS. However, while RCS

Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs move robotics into the physical AI era

techspot.com Bob O'Donnell 2025-11-09 09:32:00

Editor's take: As exciting as generative AI may be, there is another AI-powered technology on the near-term horizon that could prove even more impactful: robotics, or as Nvidia's Jensen Huang and others have begun calling it, physical AI. The concept of physical AI is that many of the same algorithmic principles used to create large language models for text-based interactions can be applied to learning and replicating physical movements in the real world.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles Director Says 'That' Boss Fight Still Wrecks Him

Last week was the first time I picked up Final Fantasy Tactics since finishing it back in 1998. One infamous boss battle scarred me so badly that I never went back -- and given its reputation among fans, I know I'm not alone. So when I had the chance to talk with Kazutoyo Maehiro, part of the original dev team and now director of the upcoming remaster, Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles, I jumped at it. I needed to know why they made that one fight so brutal. My question for Maehiro: "Ba

Kazutoyo Maehiro is feeling the pressure. Nearly 30 years after working on the original version of Final Fantasy Tactics—one of the role-playing series’ most adored games—he’s returned to pilot a remake of the game, switching titles from events planner to director. Besides that, little has changed, including how Maehiro himself thinks about game design. “Really, the approach that we wanted to take was modernizing [Final Fantasy Tactics],” he tells WIRED via a translator. “Players today expect a

Can cheaper lasers handle short distances?

news.ycombinator.com Bryon Moyer 2025-11-10 03:28:55

Optical technology is well established for long-haul communications, but the distances it serves are shrinking — especially in the data center. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) already drive short fiber links. But efforts are underway to further scale them down to provide more connections through waveguides than fiber can provide. “We have seen the transition from long haul to metro-to-local area networks and then into the data center,” said Suresh Jayaraman, senior director fo
