Back in June, publisher Devolver Digital decided to switch up its usual Summer Game Fest showcase format and dedicate it to a single game, Ball x Pit by indie developer Kenny Sun and a few collaborators.

During Nintendo's Indie World stream on Thursday, it emerged that Ball x Pit is coming to Switch, PC , PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Game Pass on October 15.

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-10 04:28:31

“That’s no moon,” as Obi-Wan Kenobi once said. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stirred intrigue with a cryptic post last night showing the Death Star from Star Wars as a hint that something big is coming. That “something big” is undoubtedly GPT-5, OpenAI’s latest frontier model coming to ChatGPT. The company shared a less ambiguous post on X yesterday teasing the upcoming livestream. Since then, Altman has added that OpenAI’s next livestream will be “longer than usual” with a runtime of “about an hour.”

Verizon is eliminating loyalty discounts, increasing the price of activation fees and other bill charges, and removing Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass perks that were previously included in its plans.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Verizon is in the news for losing 51,000 postpaid subscribers between April and June this year and then doubling down by removing loyalty discounts and driving bills up. Ironically, the company recently gave away free concert tickets, gift cards, branded freebies, and more.

Scientists have recreated the Universe's first molecule

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-07 05:20:51

Immediately after the Big Bang, which occurred around 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was dominated by unimaginably high temperatures and densities. However, after just a few seconds, it had cooled down enough for the first elements to form, primarily hydrogen and helium. These were still completely ionized at this point, as it took almost 380,000 years for the temperature in the universe to drop enough for neutral atoms to form through recombination with free electrons.

Apple to invest another $100 billion into the US to avoid tariffs
