Streaming Can’t Replace Your PC, but Nvidia’s Updated GeForce Now Comes Close

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-05 22:47:36

No, you shouldn't use it for multiplayer, but I still find myself gravitating to GeForce Now more than ever. The best compliment I could ever lay at the feet of any game streaming service is that I can forget I was even using it. Nvidia’s GeForce Now service, which lets players run their own game library through the cloud, is better than ever with its most recent update. As a bonus, Nvidia’s $20-per-month “Ultimate” subscription doesn’t cost any more than it did previously, unlike TV streaming’

Brussels faces privacy crossroads over encryption backdoors

Europe, long seen as a bastion of privacy and digital rights, will debate this week whether to enforce surveillance on citizens' devices. Representatives from member states will meet on Friday to consider legislation critics call Chat Control, aka "laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse," which seeks to require ISPs or messaging app providers to scan user content or backdoor encryption so that intelligence agencies can do it themselves.

In November last year after nearly two decades at my previous gig, I came to the conclusion that I didn’t want to work at what seemed to be rapidly becoming an AI-focused company and moved to pgEdge where the focus is well and truly on distributed PostgreSQL and Postgres generally. Distributed databases (and particularly Postgres of course) have always been a passion of mine – even being a key topic of my master’s dissertation many years ago.

Reshaped is now open source

About five years ago, I started Reshaped. I built it for myself, since I had a few projects in urgent need of a component library for both React and Figma. Having worked in the design systems space for over a decade, I had developed a clear sense of what a good design system should be — and what tends to go wrong in others. I noticed that no matter how trends evolve, around 80% of the web is still built on the same core design practices. So I set out to build a system that covers that 80%, whil

It probably would have made me a much better student. NotebookLM is a solid AI research assistant, and it really shines as a tool for students. What sets it apart from other AI tools is that it does

In a major change in tune, Google has admitted that the "open web is already in rapid decline" — despite being adamant for months that the "web is thriving."

Scientists Stunned as Tiny Algae Keep Moving Inside Arctic Ice

Scientists know that microbial life can survive under some extreme conditions—including, hopefully, harsh Martian weather. But new research suggests that one particular microbe, an algal species found in Arctic ice, isn’t as immobile as it was previously believed. They’re surprisingly active, gliding across—and even within—their frigid stomping grounds.
