VLC Slow on Windows? Microsoft Defender Blamed - briefly
(hx) 11:44 AM CEST - Aug,15 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

VLC media player can take 20–30 seconds or longer to open a simple MP3 file on Windows, according to widespread user reports.

VideoLAN, the developers of VLC, says Microsoft Defender is interfering with the player’s plugin cache after a Windows update.

This forces VLC to re-scan hundreds of modules on every launch instead of using the cached data.

The delays disappear once users regenerate the plugin cache or reinstall VLC.

Some users have also fixed the issue by excluding the VLC folder from Microsoft Defender scans.

RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Hits $800 After Sharp Price Hikes - tech
(hx) 10:33 AM CEST - Aug,15 2026 - Post a comment

The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is now selling for a median price of around $800–$805 on Newegg.

It launched in April 2025 at an official MSRP of $429.

Prices have risen sharply in recent months, with the median jumping roughly 39% between June and August 2026 alone.

The increases are linked to higher memory costs and ongoing supply pressure from AI demand.

Other mid-range RTX 50-series cards have also seen notable price jumps during the same period.

(hx) 05:40 PM CEST - Aug,14 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

Sony has launched Soneium, its own Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain network, developed together with Startale.

A dollar stablecoin called USDSC already runs on the network, while Sony Bank is separately preparing its own USD-backed stablecoin.

The company aims to eventually allow payments for digital content, including games and anime, using these tokens, mainly to reduce credit card fees.

Sony Bank received conditional U.S. regulatory approval in 2026, with operations expected around 2027.

There is currently no requirement to use the stablecoin on the PlayStation Store, and traditional payment methods remain available.

Ryzen 7 7800X3D Swelling Reported Despite Latest BIOS - tech
(hx) 10:50 PM CEST - Aug,13 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

A Ryzen 7 7800X3D has reportedly failed with visible swelling and burn damage after three months of use.

The system used an MSI PRO X870-P WIFI motherboard running the latest available BIOS, with only EXPO enabled and no manual overclocking.

The CPU caused the system to shut down during gaming and enter a boot loop, also damaging the motherboard.

The damage resembles earlier Ryzen 7000 failures from 2023 that AMD previously addressed with SoC voltage limits.

Early PlayStation 5 consoles are developing severe overheating issues linked to liquid metal degradation.

In one documented case involving a CFI-1116 model, the liquid metal damaged the heatsink’s protective surface, leaving permanent scars and dry spots over the APU.

A repair technician found the APU itself undamaged after cleaning, but the heatsink contact plate was permanently compromised.

Similar overheating reports have appeared from other older PS5 owners after several years of use.

Sony later refined the liquid metal application in newer models such as the PS5 Pro.

Kratos Actor Criticizes Game Adaptations for Ignoring Creators - briefly

Christopher Judge, the voice of Kratos in God of War, has criticized video game TV adaptations for leaving out the original creators.

Speaking at a Fan Expo panel, Judge said studios often take successful game properties and fail to hire anyone involved with the source material.

He pointed to The Last of Us, praising Pedro Pascal but questioning why the original game cast and writers were not involved, especially for shot-for-shot episodes.

Judge also questioned Amazon’s upcoming God of War series for not bringing back the game’s writers, who have spent decades immersed in the world.

“These guys have been immersed in this world for 20 years, but someone’s gonna know better?” he said.

Claude Now Hides Invisible Watermarks in Every Text It Generates - briefly
(hx) 12:03 AM CEST - Aug,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)

Anthropic has started embedding an invisible watermark into every piece of text produced by its Claude AI models. The company confirmed the change in an official support page after signing the EU AI Act’s transparency code for AI-generated content.

The text watermark is woven directly into the words themselves at the model level. You cannot see it, and it does not change the meaning, quality, or readability of the response. Because it lives inside the text, the mark travels when you copy and paste the content and can survive some editing.

Claude also adds digitally signed provenance metadata to certain generated files such as SVG, PNG, and JPG images. This follows the open C2PA standard and acts like a tamper-evident digital certificate that shows the file was processed by Claude and whether it was later altered.

New Claude models launched on or after August 2, 2026 carry these marks from day one. Older models are receiving the feature during a transition period. The marks apply worldwide across the Claude app, API, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Claude Tag, and supported cloud platforms including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry.

Think of the text watermark as a secret pattern hidden in the way the AI chooses and arranges words. Humans read normal sentences; computers can later check for Claude’s signature. The file metadata works more like a sealed stamp that stays attached to the image until someone strips it through conversion or screenshots.

A detected mark only signals that Claude processed the content. It does not prove Claude was the original author, because people often use the model to edit, translate, or improve existing text. Heavy rewriting, very short passages, or older unmarked models can remove or avoid the signal. Anthropic says detection tools and full technical details will be released soon.

There is no mentioned way for users to turn the marking off.

Update: Developer Guillaume Meyer has released an open-source tool called watermarks-remover that targets AI provenance marks from Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI. The GitHub project combines deterministic cleaning of invisible Unicode characters with optional text rewriting aimed at statistical watermarks, plus removal of C2PA and other metadata from common file formats. It is designed as an agent skill and set of Python scripts for privacy and content hygiene on material the user owns. The author notes that statistical watermark removal remains best-effort rather than guaranteed.
