Intel Nova Lake CPUs may finally bring a 3D V-Cache rival to desktop gaming

Intel is now reportedly planning to counter AMD's recent dominance in high-end gaming by incorporating similar technology in its upcoming Nova Lake CPUs. According to tipster @Haze2K1, at least two SKUs in the Nova Lake lineup will ship with increased L3 c

Amazon Wants Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Bond’ Movie as Soon as Possible

Now that we know a Denis Villeneuve-helmed Bond reboot is officially coming, there’s a very obvious next question: who’s gonna step into the role of 007? A new report from Variety suggests some of the top contenders, and the selection of actors in the running is fascinatingly mixed, at least in the sense that the character is traditionally played by a Brit. Australian-born Jacob Elordi, star of Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein for Netflix, is a strong pick and stands apart from the re

As Tesla Sales Plummet in the U.S. and Europe, Elon Reportedly Fires His Top Salesman

Elon Musk has fired Omead Afshar, the head of Tesla’s sales and manufacturing operations in North America and Europe, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

This AI-powered startup studio plans to launch 100,000 companies a year — really

Henrik Werdelin has spent the last 15 years helping entrepreneurs build big brands like Barkbox through his startup studio Prehype.

Apple updates the rules for its EU App Store by adding more complicated fees

‘Deus Ex’ Did Good Work, and I Wish It Could Do More

For as many long-running franchises were born during the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 era—your Assassin’s Creeds and Borderlands, to name a few—some old series tried making a return. Among those was Deus Ex, a series of cyberpunk role-playing games which just turned 20 years old and had an unfortunately short-lived return with a duology that under better circumstances, would’ve been a trilogy. The original game hailed from Ion Storm on June 23, 2000 for PC and eventually PlayStation 2. At the tim

A Deep Dive into Solid Queue for Ruby on Rails

But just being performant is not enough for a production-ready background job system. Rails developers have come to expect a lot over the years. We don't just want to enqueue jobs to run in the background. We want to sc

Report: Apple to announce ‘some’ App Store changes in the EU to avoid additional DMA fines
