TextNow Offers Free US Numbers With No Monthly Fee - briefly
(hx) 02:58 PM CET - Nov,15 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
TextNow (details) is a legitimate US app that gives users a free ad-supported phone number for calling and texting over Wi-Fi or data. The free plan has zero monthly cost and supports unlimited talk and text to US and Canadian numbers, with ads funding the service. Users can receive SMS and make calls inside the app without needing eSIM support or a physical SIM, though cellular data requires an optional paid SIM.

Official registration is intended for people in North America; attempts from other countries often require a US residential IP or VPN and can trigger extra checks. The number can be used for some app verifications such as Telegram, but success with WhatsApp and similar services is unreliable because TextNow numbers are classified as VoIP and frequently blocked. Free numbers are recycled after periods of inactivity, so users must send occasional texts or calls to keep them active. Watching ads can provide free call minutes on the free tier, and the company states there is no monthly fee for basic talk and text.

Polish Retailer Leaves Plastic Film on CPU Cooler in Premium Build - tech
(hx) 12:15 PM CET - Nov,15 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

A customer who paid extra for x-kom's "Premium Assembly" service received a Ryzen 7 7800X3D PC with the protective plastic film still on the cooler base.

The build ran hot at 91°C under an 80 W load, throttled, stayed loud, and scored about 15.5k in Cinebench R23.

x-kom is a major Polish electronics retailer that offers paid professional assembly and load testing for custom PCs.

After hours of troubleshooting the owner removed the cooler, found the film, cleaned it, and applied fresh paste.

Temperatures then dropped to 79°C, noise fell, and the Cinebench score rose to about 17.1k.

The owner summarized the result: the cooler works better when the copper actually touches the CPU.

The incident was first detailed on the Polish forum Elektroda on November 14, 2026.

NVIDIA Engineer Quits After Jensen Huang's Resignation - briefly
(hx) 12:14 PM CET - Nov,15 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

A robotics research engineer at NVIDIA has publicly announced he is leaving the company.

Darrell Dai said Jensen Huang’s vision for CUDA, AI, and physical AI, plus the company’s engineering culture, were key reasons he wanted to stay.

He described being disappointed by Huang’s departure and the lack of a clear explanation about what it means for the company’s direction and culture.

Dai wrote that he does not have all the facts around the allegations and will not prejudge any investigation.

NVIDIA announced on November 12 that Jensen Huang resigned as CEO, president, and board member, effective immediately. CFO Colette Kress was named interim CEO.

The resignation followed reports of extramarital affairs and a board investigation. Dai said the uncertainty around the departure contributed to his own decision to leave.

These are his personal views, he added.

BETTER than DLSS?? Apex Neural Rendering vs MFG Unlocker vs AMD NR Launcher (AMD & NVIDIA) - tech
(hx) 10:46 AM CET - Nov,15 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
The video tests Apex Computing Neural Rendering (ANR) to assess its performance against Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s multiframe generation unlocker. While ANR claims to outperform DLSS, it shows significant issues such as visual artifacts and poor UI rendering. The video recommends alternative solutions like AMDNR and MFG unlocker for optimal performance on AMD and Nvidia cards, respectively. Despite some potential advantages, ANR currently demonstrates limitations, particularly in games with high graphical requirements like ray tracing.

SteamOS 3.10 Preview Adds HDMI 2.1 and Mesh Shaders - briefly
(hx) 08:49 AM CET - Nov,15 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Valve has released SteamOS 3.10.0 Preview on the Steam Deck Preview channel.

AMD graphics gain HDMI 2.1 support with VRR, Fixed Rate Link, and Auto Low Latency Mode. NVIDIA users get Mesh Shader support on Turing GPUs and newer, plus fixes for rendering issues in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and The Surge 2.

The build moves to a Linux 7.3 kernel and updates Desktop Mode to KDE Plasma 6.8.2.

It also improves VRR frame timing and reduces screen flickering, adds HDR and brightness controls for the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X20, and fixes Bluetooth audio dropouts when switching modes.

Valve notes this is an early preview that may contain bugs. A known issue can leave the Dell G3223Q monitor blank on AMD HDMI 2.1.

Users can opt in via Settings > System > System Update Channel.

Intel Reclaims 70% Desktop CPU Share as AMD Slips Under 30% in Q3 Surprise - tech
(hx) 10:53 PM CET - Nov,14 2026 - Post a comment / read (4)
Intel staged a sharp comeback in the desktop CPU market during the third quarter of 2026. Mercury Research data shows the company’s share of desktop x86 processor shipments jumped to 70.1 percent, up from 65.1 percent in the previous quarter. AMD’s share fell to 29.9 percent from 34.9 percent, a five-point swing that put it below 30 percent for the first time in several quarters.

The move surprised many because AMD had been gaining ground steadily earlier in the year. Analysts at Mercury Research say the exact causes are unclear but point to Intel shifting more supply from softer laptop demand into desktops during the usual seasonal uptick, after under-supplying the segment earlier in 2026. AMD, which has heavier exposure to the enthusiast gaming market, saw less benefit as gaming PC demand weakened amid GPU supply constraints and rising memory prices.

These figures track shipments from manufacturers, not end-user sales or the installed base of PCs. The broader desktop CPU market also contracted during the quarter, with overall client CPU shipments declining according to separate data from Jon Peddie Research. Intel’s client revenue still fell year-over-year despite the higher shipment share.

Microsoft Apologizes After Nearly 24-Hour Global Outage - tech
(hx) 10:47 AM CET - Nov,14 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Microsoft 365 services including Outlook and Teams suffered a major global outage that began on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

The disruption, caused by a technical issue during a network capacity upgrade, lasted nearly 24 hours and affected users in more than 70 countries. Microsoft said the problem was not related to a cyber attack or AI agents.

The outage hit businesses, governments, hospitals, schools, and courts. In the UK it affected parts of the NHS, while the Japanese government, Philippine Supreme Court, and Australian agencies also reported problems. Critical services such as UK emergency calls were not disrupted.

Microsoft stated it was 'deeply sorry' for the disruption and that it was restoring services gradually to ensure stability. By Friday afternoon the company reported encouraging progress across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. A full post-incident report is expected after the review.

GTA VI Pre-Downloads Set New Internet Traffic Records in Europe - briefly
(hx) 10:25 AM CET - Nov,14 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Gamers pre-downloading Grand Theft Auto VI pushed Europe's largest internet exchange to a new peak days before the game’s launch.

DE-CIX Frankfurt reached 22.30 terabits per second at 8:20 pm CET on 10 November, about 19% above its previous January 2026 record.

Across DE-CIX’s exchanges worldwide, traffic also hit a new all-time high of 33.01 Tbit/s.

Each copy of the game is a download of over 200 GB, with Rockstar listing sizes up to 212 GB.

Pre-loads opened on 10 November ahead of the 19 November release, and DE-CIX said major game launches can cause sharp traffic spikes, though it did not quantify exactly how much of the peak came from the game.

UK provider Virgin Media O2 also reported its busiest-ever day on 10 November, with peak traffic and daily data volumes both setting new records.

Xbox Confirms Wolfenstein 3 in Production at MachineGames - briefly
(hx) 05:15 PM CET - Nov,13 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has officially confirmed that Wolfenstein 3 is in production at MachineGames.

She shared the news on X as part of Xbox’s 25th anniversary celebrations, posting a page from the game’s script that shows BJ Blazkowicz returning.

MachineGames followed up with its own confirmation, stating “His reputation precedes him. Wolfenstein 3 is in production,” and shared a motion-capture photo confirming that actors Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson will reprise their roles as BJ and Grace Walker.

This marks the first mainline Wolfenstein title from the studio since The New Colossus in 2017, after the team focused on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

In the same round of updates, id Software confirmed it is already working on its next game, with teams in Texas and Frankfurt under game direction by Hugo Martin, though the title has not been named.

No release date, platforms, or further gameplay details have been announced for either project. In a separate post, Bethesda confirmed the return of Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson as B.J. and Grace Walker, respectively, reprising their roles from the previous games.

The confirmation ends years of speculation that MachineGames planned the modern Wolfenstein series as a trilogy.

Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at @MachineGames. One of gaming's most important franchises, and a team that has done remarkable work bringing it forward. Looking forward to sharing more. https://t.co/YyX8LrbTvh

Microsoft 365 Outage Stretches Past 18 Hours as Fixes Falter - tech
(hx) 04:21 PM CET - Nov,13 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Microsoft 365 services including Outlook, Teams, and Copilot stayed disrupted for more than 18 hours after problems began on November 12.

Microsoft said the outage was caused by a large number of its own servers becoming unexpectedly unavailable after failing automated health checks, which overloaded the remaining systems.

The company has ruled out a cyberattack and is restarting servers, redistributing traffic, and testing patches, though some restored servers have become unresponsive again under load.

Recovery is gradual and incomplete, with partial improvements reported in parts of North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, but capacity has not returned to normal and no full restoration timeline has been given.

Downdetector recorded a peak of around 130,000 Outlook problem reports, and the disruption affected businesses, airlines, and government users worldwide.

Microsoft recently offered voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees, but it has not connected the outage to staffing changes.

Users are advised to monitor the Microsoft 365 service health page for the latest updates as recovery continues.

Microsoft Outlook Down Worldwide as Servers Drop Offline - briefly
(hx) 10:28 PM CET - Nov,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Microsoft Outlook and other Microsoft 365 services suffered a major outage on November 12, blocking users from email on the web and in apps.

The company first blamed elevated load across multiple regions and began redistributing traffic, then said the load came from a large number of servers becoming unexpectedly unavailable rather than a surge in real traffic.

Affected services include Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online, Copilot, and Defender XDR, with impact spreading beyond the Americas.

Downdetector recorded a peak of nearly 130,000 Outlook problem reports, far above normal levels.

Microsoft is restarting affected servers, has paused deployments, and is testing workarounds while it investigates why the servers failed automated health checks.

The company's service status page itself had trouble loading for some users during the incident.

No official statement has linked the outage to a cyberattack or external intrusion.

AMD Fixes SSD-Wearing Bug in New Adrenalin Driver - tech
(hx) 10:15 PM CET - Nov,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

AMD has released the optional Adrenalin Edition 26.11.1 driver that fixes a bug causing excessive writes to the system drive.

The issue could occur while the system was idle on Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards and newer models, and it could also happen when users moved or resized application windows.

These constant writes risked shortening the lifespan of SSDs, so the update is recommended for affected users.

The driver is available for Windows 10 and Windows 11 and supports a wide range of recent Radeon desktop and mobile GPUs.

AMD labels it optional, and the release notes also list several known issues that remain, including occasional crashes or timeouts in certain games.

Users who experienced the write problem should install the new driver instead of relying on unofficial workarounds.

The package can be downloaded from AMD’s official website or through the Adrenalin software.

Jensen Huang Resigns as Nvidia CEO - briefly
(hx) 04:49 PM CET - Nov,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang has resigned as president, chief executive officer, and a member of the board, effective immediately, the company announced on November 12, 2026.

CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO while continuing in her finance role, as the board launches a search for a permanent successor that will consider both internal and external candidates.

Harvey C. Jones, a longtime board member and former Synopsys CEO, has been appointed Nvidia’s first-ever board chair.

The resignation follows reports of personal relationships involving Huang, including one with a woman U.S. authorities suspect of Chinese intelligence ties and another with a company executive. Huang had previously admitted being unfaithful to his wife.

Nvidia shares plunged more than 10% in early trading, extending a sharp decline that erased hundreds of billions in market value this week.

The board said it expects operations, customer commitments, and the product roadmap to continue without interruption.

Logitech Gives 7,000 Staff Day Off for GTA 6 - briefly

Logitech is giving its roughly 7,000 employees, including interns, one extra day off to play video games under a new perk called Logi Game Day.

Staff can use the day any time until November 2027 for any game they choose, timed with the November 19, 2026 launch of Grand Theft Auto VI.

CEO Hanneke Faber said, “It’s time to retire the stereotype that gaming is a waste of time,” and plans to game in the office that day while joining a company stream.

The company cites its own research showing most gamers feel play builds real-world confidence and focus under pressure.

Chief people officer Elaine Laird added that dedicated play time helps people return with clearer focus and fresh ideas.

Logitech will keep offices open on launch day and has no issue if employees spend the time in Vice City.

Nvidia is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang, WSJ reports - briefly
(hx) 12:19 AM CET - Nov,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)

Nvidia stock fell about 8% in after-hours trading on November 11 after the New York Times reported that CEO Jensen Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare.

The Times cited five anonymous company sources and said the pair were filmed being affectionate at a San Jose hotel during the March GTC conference. Nvidia, Huang, and Powell have not confirmed the claims.

This comes days after Huang admitted an affair with Alice Huang, a woman U.S. officials suspect is a Chinese intelligence asset. Nvidia’s board is already investigating that matter, and a Wall Street Journal report says the board is preparing to meet on Huang’s future.

Shares closed at $173.73 before dropping to roughly $159.45 after hours. The new allegations remain unverified by the company or the people involved.

Owlcat Games has released a new gameplay video for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn titled “Becoming the Captain.”

The clip shows a mission that starts when the player helps a stranger and leads into an abandoned mine, pirate encounters, zero-gravity combat, and clue hunting.

Players can recruit a teenage character named Polly as a companion later in the story.

The video also confirms that the game will include Brazilian Portuguese subtitles at launch, adding to previously announced languages such as English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Simplified Chinese.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is a third-person action RPG developed and published by Owlcat Games, set in the universe of the books and TV series.

It is scheduled to launch in spring 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

The new footage focuses on crew decisions and side missions that can expand the player’s team while traveling the solar system.

AMD Zen 6 EPYC 9006 Debuts With Up to 256 Cores - briefly
(hx) 11:34 PM CET - Nov,11 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
AMD officially launched its Zen 6-based EPYC 9006 "Venice" server processors on November 10, with platforms now shipping.

The top models reach 256 cores and 512 threads with 1 GB of L3 cache on the SP7 socket.

AMD claims an average 27 percent IPC gain over Zen 5 in selected server and AI workloads, with roughly 20 percent in enterprise/cloud tasks and up to 31 percent in AI.

Independent tests show a dual-socket EPYC 9996 system delivering up to 93 percent higher performance than a dual previous-gen EPYC 9965 in an unofficial SPEC CPU 2026 integer-rate estimate.

Zen 6 raises standard CCD capacity to 12 cores with 48 MB L3 cache, plus better branch prediction, execution resources, and AVX-512 FP16 support.

Desktop Ryzen versions remain unconfirmed, though the larger CCD raises the possibility of higher-core consumer chips later.

? AMD ZEN 6 IS OFFICIALLY HERE, THE FIRST BENCHMARKS ARE INSANE! ?? ?? LATEST NOVEMBER UPDATES: • November 10: AMD officially launches its Zen 6 EPYC 9006 lineup. • Up to 256 CORES, 512 THREADS, and 1GB of L3 cache! • AMD claims an average 27% IPC improvement over Zen 5 in selected server and AI workloads. • Independent testing shows up to 93% higher performance in a specific dual-socket server benchmark! • Zen 6 increases standard CCD capacity from 8 to 12 cores, with 48MB L3 cache. • Improved branch prediction, execution resources, and AVX-512 FP16 support. ?? WHAT ABOUT PC GAMERS? These November disclosures raise the possibility of 24-core Ryzen desktop CPUs and 12-core X3D gaming processors with up to 144MB L3 cache per CCD! AMD hasn’t CONFIRMED those consumer configurations yet, and the 27% IPC figure is NOT a gaming benchmark. IF these architectural improvements correlate well to Ryzen, Zen 6 could be a MAJOR generational upgrade! ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR ZEN 6?! ?
