AMD Struggles in Gears of War E-Day Beta - briefly
(hx) 11:06 PM CEST - Aug,08 2026 - Post a comment

GameGPU tested the Gears of War E-Day multiplayer beta at native 2K resolution and found no AMD Radeon card delivered playable frame rates.

The flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX averaged just 21 FPS, while the newer RX 9070 XT managed only 22 FPS.

Even the NVIDIA RTX 4080 clearly outperformed all tested AMD models.

According to the results, AMD users need FSR upscaling to reach smooth performance at 2560x1440.

The beta is still unoptimized, and final release performance may improve.

A Call of Duty cheat provider has announced it is shutting down operations.

No independent confirmation of a server attack or data extraction has been publicly verified at this time.

The shutdown continues a pattern of pressure against cheat providers in the Call of Duty community.

Players are watching to see if more services follow.

ZOTAC Replaces Faulty 4090 with Free 5090 - tech
(hx) 10:23 PM CEST - Aug,08 2026 - Post a comment

A ZOTAC customer who sent his RTX 4090 in for warranty repair four times due to crashes, freezing, artifacts, and PCIe errors has received an unexpected upgrade.

After the fourth RMA, ZOTAC replaced the card with a brand-new RTX 5090 at no extra cost.

The replacement is a ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5090 SOLID model.

It came with only a 30-day warranty, matching the remaining period on the original card.

The customer shared the story on Reddit, and it has been widely reported by hardware sites.

ZOTAC’s decision ended a long cycle of repeated failures for the owner.

(hx) 12:25 PM CEST - Aug,08 2026 - Post a comment

Netflix has pushed the final season of The Witcher from 2026 into 2027, according to reports from What’s on Netflix.

Filming on Season 5 wrapped in September 2025 after it was shot back-to-back with Season 4, but the streamer now needs extra time for visual effects and post-production.

Liam Hemsworth will return as Geralt of Rivia for the last time, continuing the role he took over from Henry Cavill in Season 4.

The fifth season is confirmed as the series finale and will bring the stories of Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer to a close.

No exact release window for 2027 has been announced yet.

The delay comes after Season 4 received mixed reactions following the recast.

John Romero: DOOM's Free Players Weren't Pirates - briefly
(hx) 11:15 PM CEST - Aug,07 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

DOOM co-creator John Romero has pushed back against claims that piracy was a main driver of the game’s success and hurt id Software.

The discussion started after former id Software designer Sandy Petersen said 70–90% of DOOM players pirated the game, costing the studio millions.

Romero explained that original DOOM was released as shareware, with the first episode designed to be freely copied and shared legally.

He noted the game reached about 20 million free shareware installs and sold over 2 million full copies.

Those free players should not be counted as pirates, Romero said, because they used the game exactly as id Software intended.

Trezor User Loses Life Savings to Google Ad Phishing Scam - briefly
(hx) 10:33 PM CEST - Aug,07 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

A Trezor user claims they lost their life savings after clicking a top sponsored Google search result for “Trezor wallet” that led to a phishing site.

The fake page, hosted on Google Sites at sites.google.com/view/start-trezor-suite, tricked victims into entering their wallet recovery seed phrase.

On-chain data shows the reported harvesting address received about 24 BTC (roughly $1.6 million).

Trezor confirmed it is escalating the report, working to remove the site, and reminded users never to enter a wallet backup or seed phrase into any website or form.

Google-sponsored phishing ads remain a common attack method targeting crypto users.

Hey @Trezor, just lost my life savings. Top sponsored Google result for 'Trezor wallet' is a phishing site!

Asmongold has been BANNED from Twitch - briefly
(hx) 10:15 PM CEST - Aug,07 2026 - Post a comment
Popular streamer Zack "Asmongold" Hoyt drew widespread attention after an August 3 livestream in which he reacted to a Nick Shirley video on Moroccan migrants crossing into Ceuta, Spain. In the clip, he described bringing children along as "emotional blackmail" and stated he would shoot "kids, women, men, anybody" as a deterrent to stop the tactic of using them as shields.

Multiple outlets reported a suspension on his secondary Twitch channel Zackrawrr around August 6, citing a community guidelines violation notice.

However, live checks of both the Zackrawrr and main Asmongold channels show them as normal offline pages with recent VODs fully accessible and no suspension banners. Twitch has issued no official statement confirming any ban related to the comments. Asmongold himself has not publicly addressed the rumors.

?BREAKING: Asmongold has been BANNED from Twitch

The ban came shortly after comments he made about the situation in Ceuta

Twitch hasn't given an official reason yet

The clip below is what allegedly got him banned.

Judge for yourself if it's ban worthy.

Gemini Spills Secret Character Name from Indie Dev's Private Google Doc - tech
(hx) 04:52 PM CEST - Aug,07 2026 - Post a comment / read (4)
An indie developer behind the aquatic tower defense game *Operation Octo* claims Google’s Gemini AI revealed the exact unreleased character name “Vantage Tripod,” which he says existed only in his private Google Doc.

According to Klub Kofta Studio, a player asked Gemini about future content and received the highly specific name the developer had never shared publicly, posted on Discord, or added to game files.

The solo developer checked his Discord history and confirmed no prior mentions of the exact name, though he had earlier drawn a similar “Tripod Fish” creature during a Gartic Phone session that fans noticed.

Screenshots shared by the developer show Gemini also providing other accurate details matching his private notes on upcoming biomes and mechanics.

The claim has not been independently verified by Google, and some observers note Gemini can access a user’s Google Docs if that integration is enabled.

A player found out the ACTUAL name of my game's upcoming character from the Google Search AI - I had NEVER told the name to anyone.

The only place this info exists is inside my own Google Doc, and this was NOT me speaking to the AI!#GameDevs #indiegame #Google #GoogleAI pic.twitter.com/EtSSrF1gDp

RTX 5090 Owner Builds Tool to Stop Cable Melting - tech
(hx) 09:24 AM CEST - Aug,07 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

An RTX 5090 owner has created a free open-source tool that automatically shuts down the PC if the 12VHPWR power connector draws too much power.

The software monitors each power pin and triggers a shutdown if any pin exceeds safe limits for more than 15 seconds.

It currently works only with ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 cards, which have per-pin current sensors.

The lightweight tool runs in the background and is available on GitHub for anyone to download or improve.

This aims to prevent the well-known risk of 12VHPWR connectors overheating and melting under high load.

(hx) 10:27 PM CEST - Aug,06 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
In a dark alternate reality set in 2030, the Matrix returns as humanity faces its greatest threat yet—not nuclear war, but a deadly engineered virus unleashed by an all-powerful AI known as Skynet. As global lockdowns turn cities into graveyards and towering data centers become the new centers of power, civilization collapses under total digital control. Keanu Reeves returns as Neo, the last hope against a machine intelligence that has transformed the real world into the ultimate prison. In this fictional universe, a technology executive portrayed by Sam Altman serves as a misguided collaborator who believes surrendering humanity to AI is the only path to survival.

The Matrix: Extinction Protocol imagines a chilling future where freedom is erased not by bombs, but by algorithms, surveillance, and absolute obedience.

Researcher Deobfuscates Denuvo Anti-Cheat - tech
(hx) 11:57 AM CEST - Aug,06 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

A reverse engineer has announced the successful deobfuscation of Denuvo Anti-Cheat’s kernel driver.

The work focused on the custom LLVM-based obfuscation used in `denuvo-anti-cheat.sys`, which relies on control-flow manipulation and mixed Boolean-arithmetic (MBA) techniques rather than a virtual machine.

The researcher used guided symbolic evaluation to flatten the obfuscated code and restore the original control flow.

Opaque predicates in the protection were found to be statically resolvable.

Further cleanup with an MBA simplifier is planned to improve the readability of the decompiled output.

Motherboard Prices Set to Climb in Q3 - tech
(hx) 07:45 PM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI are reportedly preparing another round of motherboard price increases for the third quarter of 2026.

Supply-chain reports from Board Channels say the cost of PCBs used in consumer motherboards is expected to rise by at least 50% this year, driven by higher material prices and strong AI-related demand.

Copper, surface-mount capacitors, power-delivery components and controller chips are also getting more expensive, while weaker DIY PC demand and falling board shipments leave manufacturers with fewer units to spread fixed costs across.

None of the three brands has publicly confirmed the exact size or timing of the increases yet.

ASUS Axes $4,600 RTX 5090 Order After Price Hike - tech
(hx) 06:58 PM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

A customer’s order for an ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 BTF placed through NVIDIA’s marketplace at about $4,607 after tax was canceled after ASUS refused to honor the original price.

NVIDIA confirmed the cancellation and issued a full refund; the same card’s new price rose to roughly $4,982 before tax, with a reorder estimated near $5,100 after tax.

ASUS and GIGABYTE have also raised GPU channel prices in China by around 20% versus July levels, with flagship RTX 5090D V2 models up by as much as 4,000–4,500 yuan (about $590–$666).

The increases hit the broader RTX 50 series and some AMD RX 9000 cards, and reports link the moves to climbing GDDR7 memory costs.

Xbox Plans to Keep Physical Discs for Back-Compatible - console
(hx) 04:42 PM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

Digital Foundry’s John Linneman reported that sources indicated Microsoft planned to continue supporting physical game discs on future Xbox hardware.

The priority was backward compatibility — ensuring players’ existing disc libraries remain playable — rather than retail disc sales.

This was reportedly the case before Microsoft’s recent Xbox business “reset,” and current plans remain unclear.

The comments come amid Sony’s decision to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting in 2028.

Possible options mentioned include external disc drives or disc-to-digital conversion features.

RTX 5090 Hits $7K as AI Demand Takes Over - tech
(hx) 08:21 AM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Retail and third-party prices for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 have surged as high as $7,000, far above its $1,999 launch MSRP.

The spike is driven by strong demand from AI workloads that value the card’s 32 GB of high-speed GDDR7 memory.

As a result, many in the PC gaming community now view the 5090 more as a professional/AI accelerator than a mainstream gaming GPU.

Mainstream retailers currently list available stock mostly in the $4,300–$4,900 range, while some secondary-market sellers push higher.

The price inflation has also lifted used and previous-generation GPU prices by 30–40% in some segments.

Microsoft Forces OneDrive Photos App - tech
(hx) 12:50 AM CEST - Aug,05 2026 - Post a comment

Microsoft is quietly installing a new OneDrive Photos app on Windows 11 PCs, including Enterprise editions.

The app requires a personal Microsoft account to use and cannot be removed without uninstalling OneDrive entirely. IT admins are angry because the app was not announced, does not appear on official roadmaps, and keeps returning after removal attempts.

OneDrive Photos is an Edge-based web app that duplicates existing features already available in File Explorer and the standard Photos app. It also offers an optional AI feature that groups similar faces in photos and processes facial data.

Many administrators say the forced installation is unacceptable on managed business devices.
