Intel's E2200 "Mount Morgan" IPU at Hot Chips 2025

Intel’s IPUs, or Infrastructure Processing Units, evolved as network adapters developed increasingly sophisticated offload capabilities. IPUs take things a step further, aiming to take on a wide variety of infrastructure services in a cloud environment in addition to traditional software defined networking functions. Infrastructure services are run by the cloud operator and orchestrate tasks like provisioning VMs or collecting metrics. They won’t stress a modern server CPU, but every CPU core se

What Time Is the Next Nintendo Direct? How to Watch September's Nintendo Direct

Another Nintendo Direct is just around the corner. The gaming giant is heading into the holiday season with the recently released Switch 2, and it will likely show off some of the big games coming out for the console. That could start its celebration of its most iconic mascot. Nintendo says its next Nintendo Direct will take place on Friday, Sept. 12, according to a post on X on Wednesday from the company's account. As is typically the case with these teasers, Nintendo didn't reveal many detail

Dead Internet Theory Lives: One Out of Three of You Is a Bot

Alright, pal, you wanna keep reading? Why don’t you tell me which of these pictures does not have a stop sign in it? According to CloudFlare, nearly one-third of all internet traffic is now bots. Most of those bots, you won’t ever directly interact with, as they are crawling the web and indexing websites or performing specific tasks—or, increasingly, collecting data to train AI models. But it’s the bots that you can see that have people like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others questioning (albeit

Performance Improvements in .NET 10

My kids love “Frozen”. They can sing every word, re-enact every scene, and provide detailed notes on the proper sparkle of Elsa’s ice dress. I’ve seen the movie more times than I can recount, to the point where, if you’ve seen me do any live coding, you’ve probably seen my subconscious incorporate an Arendelle reference or two. After so many viewings, I began paying closer attention to the details, like how at the very beginning of the film the ice harvesters are singing a song that subtly fores

Scientist Watching to See If Mysterious Object Visiting Our Solar System Releases Any Probes

Ever since a mysterious interstellar object, since dubbed 3I/ATLAS, was first spotted screaming into our solar system this year, famed Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has been raising the possibility that the interstellar interloper is an "extraterrestrial artifact" that was sent to us by an intelligent alien race. Researchers have broadly come to the consensus that 3I/ATLAS is a comet. Most recently, observations by the Gemini South telescope in Chile confirmed that its tail is growing longer,

An hour-long Nintendo Direct is set for September 12

Hold on to your Cappy, a Nintendo Direct is coming your way later this week. Nintendo has scheduled an hour-long presentation for September 12 at 9AM ET. You don't often see Nintendo running Direct streams on Fridays, but hey, we'll take it. There may be a Mario-shaped reason for this timing, too. You can watch the showcase above, on YouTube or in the Nintendo Today! app. The Direct will include information on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games. In terms of safe bets, we'll likely get some more

The Most 'Awe Dropping' Part of Apple's iPhone 17 Event? AI Barely Came Up

The iPhone 17 is here. At Tuesday's "awe dropping" Apple event, we got the new iPhone 17 lineup, including a new ultra-slim model called the 17 Air, new AirPods Pro 3 and new Apple Watches. But it was what Apple didn't highlight that is most curious to me: its artificial intelligence, named Apple Intelligence. I counted only 11 mentions of "Apple Intelligence" during the 75-minute presentation, and most of them were passing references to how the new devices can support AI or existing features.

The Zombie on ‘Wednesday’ Was Inspired by Klaus Kinski and Frankenstein

Wednesday actor Owen Painter recently sat down with Vulture to discuss the human element he brought to his performance as Slurp the zombie—and of course, what it was like eating the disembodied Professor Orloff (Christopher Lloyd)’s brain. As Painter stated, “I was told to act out ‘You’ve been sitting for a thousand years and your voice box doesn’t work, and water’s going to fix that, so you should have a glass of water across the room, but some stuff is in your way.’ I had so much fun messing

Memory Integrity Enforcement

Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) is the culmination of an unprecedented design and engineering effort, spanning half a decade, that combines the unique strengths of Apple silicon hardware with our advanced operating system security to provide industry-first, always-on memory safety protection across our devices — without compromising our best-in-class device performance. We believe Memory Integrity Enforcement represents the most significant upgrade to memory safety in the history of consumer

Building a DOOM-like multiplayer shooter in pure SQL

DOOMQL: A DOOM-like multiplayer shooter in pure SQL I recently stumbled across Patrick’s excellent DOOM clone running in a browser powered by DuckDB-WASM. Ever since I’ve read that, I wanted to push his awesome idea to the logical extreme: Build a multiplayer DOOM-like shooter entirely in SQL with CedarDB doing all the heavy lifting. During a month of parental leave (i.e., a lot of sleepless nights), I tried exactly that. Here’s a sneak peek at DOOMQL: Your browser does not support the video ta

Switch modder owes Nintendo $2 million after representing himself in court

It has often been said that the lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. That truism apparently extends to Switch modders as well, at least in the case of Ryan Daly. The operator of the now-defunct moddedhardware.com (archived) now owes Nintendo $2 million after a recent settlement filed in a Washington state District Court. The final judgement, which was jointly agreed to by both parties, asserts that Daly knowingly sold devices such as the MIG Switch and MIG Dumper that "are pri

Accessory maker will pay Nintendo after showing illicit Switch 2 mockups at CES

Nintendo-watchers may remember when little-known accessory-maker Genki showed the world an extremely accurate 3D-printed mockup of the Switch 2 back in January, about a week before Nintendo's own "first look" teaser video and months before the system's wider unveiling. Now, in a newly filed settlement agreement, Genki has agreed to pay Nintendo unspecified damages for "trademark infringement, unfair competition, and false advertising" in connection with that promotional stunt. The controversy s

Linus Torvalds warns Linux devs: Stop cluttering patches with automated, useless links

Useless links are from AI dev programs and automated tools. Torvalds thinks links should lead to useful info about a patch. It all started with a single fix to a resource node rewrite in the Linux kernel. The more Linus Torvalds looked at it, the more puzzled he became. You see, the fix didn't "act

Apple Intelligence: Everything you need to know about Apple’s AI model and services

If you’ve upgraded to a newer iPhone model recently, you’ve probably noticed that Apple Intelligence is showing up in some of your most-used apps, like Messages, Mail, and Notes. Apple Intelligence (yes, also abbreviated to AI) showed up in Apple’s ecosystem in October 2024, and it’s here to stay as Apple competes with Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others to build the best AI tools.

Godfather of AI Says His Creation Is About to Unleash Massive Unemployment

One of the most prominent pioneers of artificial intelligence has some grim predictions about what the technology he created is soon going to unleash onto humankind. Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist whose work on neural networks earned him the title of "Godfather of AI," suggested in an interview with the Financial Times that tech CEOs who preach positive outcomes for the future of AI are deluding themselves and others. "What’s actually going to happen is rich people are goin

AI is changing the grid. Could it help more than it harms?

“So that’s the gap that AI can help close. We can solve this more complex problem, fast enough and reliably enough that we can possibly use it and shave off emissions,” Baker says. In theory, AI could be used to operate the grid entirely without human intervention. But that work is largely still in the research phase. Grid operators are running some of the most critical infrastructure in this country, and the industry is hesitant to mess with something that’s already working, Baker says. If thi

Deluxe Paint on the Commodore Amiga

Back when EA was cool, they packaged their software in album-style sleeves and promoted their developers like rock stars. I was a Dan Silva groupie. VisiCalc on the Apple II. Lotus 1-2-3 on the IBM PC. Aldus PageMaker on the Macintosh. Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. The computer industry loves a “killer app,” that unique piece of software that compels consumers to purchase new computer hardware just for the privilege of running it. I can personally attest to Deluxe Paint as it compelled even my tec

Nintendo has settled the lawsuit it filed against accessory maker Genki over the Switch 2 mockup it showcased at CES before the console was officially revealed, and accessories it promoted using the Switch 2 name. Genki’s parent company, Human Things, will pay Nintendo an undisclosed amount of money in damages to close the case, according to a legal filing submitted on Monday, and has agreed to stop giving i

No, the Galaxy S25 FE doesn’t have this key security upgrade

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has confirmed to Android Authority that the Galaxy S25 FE has an optical-based fingerprint scanner. This comes after unofficial claims that the phone has an ultrasonic scanner. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is faster, more accurate, and works with wet fingers. Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 FE last week, and it brings a couple of notable upgrades. We also heard rumors that the phone would have an upgraded in-display fingerprint sensor, bu

iPhone 17 looks like the strong all-around upgrade that iPhone 16 wasn’t

Apple announced its iPhone 16 lineup one year ago, and arguably its tentpole features have been a rare miss for the company. But rumors for the iPhone 17 indicate it should be a strong return to form deserving of an upgrade. iPhone 16: Three disappointing tentpole features Every year, Apple’s new iPhone lineup packs a variety of big and small upgrades. With the iPhone 16 line, Apple put a lot of emphasis on three features in particular: Camera Control Apple Intelligence and larger Pro displa

Intel’s chief executive of products departs among other leadership changes

Semiconductor giant Intel continues to shake up its senior leadership since Lip-Bu Tan took the helm as CEO in March. Intel announced Monday that Michelle Johnston Holthaus will depart the company after more than three decades. Johnston Holthhaus was most recently chief executive officer of Intel products and will remain a strategic adviser. The company also announced the creation of a central engineering group that will build a new custom silicon business for outside customers, according to I

Time to Recycle an Old Laptop or Printer? Here's Where to Take It

Once that old laptop or printer stops working, you need to get rid of it. However, that can be easier said than done. Throwing it in the trash will only lead to more items that could be recycled slowly deteriorating in a landfill, and depending on the device in question could be illegal. That's probably why a recent CNET survey found that almost a third of US adults still have old, unused electronics hanging around the house. The good news? Recycling your old devices is easier than ever. Major

AMD claims Arm ISA doesn't offer efficiency advantage over x86

SL2 I'm surprised that AMD included Intel here.. That doesn't mean that it absolutely can't be done these days. However, I highly doubt that it could be done 20 years ago. Even if it's possible today, there's really no reason to make x86 for phones because the cost for development is too high and there's stiff competition.. ARM does the job perfectly. piloponth There was an initiative from Intel - x86S - scrape all legacy from the ISA and start fresh from x86_amd64. That bavkward com

Internet Access in the Middle East Disrupted After Undersea Cables Are Mysteriously Cut

Over the weekend, crucial undersea cables providing internet access to parts of Asia were mysteriously cut, leading to internet outages in certain parts of the Middle East and Asia. The initial news seems to have originated from a Microsoft announcement published on Sunday. The announcement reads, in part: “Starting at 05:45 UTC on 06 September 2025, network traffic traversing through the Middle East may experience increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea.” Gizmodo reached ou
