NVIDIA Ships Security Driver 582.78 for Old GTX Cards - tech
(hx) 10:14 AM CEST - Oct,02 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

NVIDIA released GeForce Security Update Driver 582.78 on September 30, 2026, for older Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta cards that no longer get Game Ready drivers.

The WHQL package is for Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11. It is a security-only update, and NVIDIA says it addresses issues that may lead to security impacts. It does not add new game optimizations.

Desktop support covers the Maxwell GTX 745, 750, and 750 Ti, the GTX 950 through 980 Ti, and Pascal cards from the GTX 1050 to the 1080 Ti, plus the GT 1030 and GT 1010. Selected TITAN cards and matching laptop GTX 900M, GTX 10, and MX chips are included too.

Most GTX 700 cards are not in this package. Kepler models such as the GTX 760, 770, and 780 sit outside it.

NVIDIA ended regular Game Ready support for these architectures in October 2025 and still plans critical security updates through October 2028. The release notes point to the September security bulletin, but the Linux vGPU issue CVE-2026-47574 is not a bug in this Windows consumer driver.

Windows 11 26H2 Turns Settings Backup On - tech
(hx) 09:18 AM CEST - Oct,02 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Microsoft has turned Windows settings backup on by default in Windows 11, version 26H2. The change covers eligible work PCs that are joined to Microsoft Entra, or hybrid joined, when an admin has not already set a backup policy.

The backup saves user settings, preferences, and the list of Microsoft Store apps. It runs about every eight days. Restore is not on by default. An admin still has to allow that.

A device with the policy set to off stays off. Microsoft’s message also keeps the default off in privacy-sensitive regions, which reports tie to the EU Digital Markets Act, and in China or sovereign clouds. The Windows Update post does not mention those limits.

FreeBSD Matches Windows in One Gaming Test - briefly
(hx) 09:38 PM CEST - Oct,01 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
A Polish gaming test put FreeBSD 15.1 next to Windows 11 and CachyOS Linux on the same PC, and the average frame rates landed close. The machine was a Ryzen 5 5600 with 32 GB of RAM and an RTX 5060 Ti.

In Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra 1080p, the chart shows Windows at 113 fps, FreeBSD at 109, and Linux at 106. In Counter-Strike 2 on low settings, Linux led at 508 fps, FreeBSD hit 493, and Windows hit 486.

The charts also show higher 1% lows on FreeBSD. The tester says those lows are the shaky part. He had to patch MangoHud just to measure frames on FreeBSD, and he told viewers to treat the 1% lows with caution. Average fps is the number he trusts more, because it lines up with Cyberpunk’s own benchmark.

Sony’s PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 systems run Orbis OS, a modified FreeBSD, not stock FreeBSD. That does not make a desktop FreeBSD install faster than Windows or Linux. On this one rig it was competitive, not a clear win.

AM5 Crash Fix: Turn Off Memory Context Restore - tech
(hx) 03:10 PM CEST - Sep,30 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
XDA writer Ty Sherback says random lockups and Tarkov crashes on his 7800X3D stopped after he disabled Memory Context Restore. That BIOS toggle stores the last good DDR5 training so AM5 boards skip the long retraining and boot faster.

His box ran two matching Crucial DDR5-6000 kits - four sticks at 6000 - which is past AMD’s official 7800X3D cap of DDR5-5200 with two DIMMs and DDR5-3600 with four.

Memory tests had passed; turning MCR off added about 30 seconds to a cold boot. This is one user’s 4-DIMM EXPO case, not an AMD recall. If four sticks crash and tests look clean, MCR is a knob worth trying before you cut the speed. -

Windows 11 26H2 Is Live as a Tiny Switch - tech
(hx) 03:07 PM CEST - Sep,30 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Microsoft opened the Windows 11 2026 Update, version 26H2, on September 29 for PCs already on 24H2 or 25H2. Those machines get it as enablement package KB5121794 - a small download and one restart, not a full rebuild. The package turns on features already sitting dormant from monthly updates and resets support to 24 months for Home/Pro and 36 months for Enterprise/Education. Rollout is phased; flip “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” to join early. IT can push it through Autopatch and existing rings. This is not a Microsoft 365 breach story - it is a version bump.

The Darkness Gets Unofficial PC Port - briefly
(hx) 05:44 PM CEST - Sep,29 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Starbreeze’s 2007 shooter The Darkness never had an official PC release, even though The Darkness II reached Windows in 2012. A hobbyist named portingpete has now published The-Darkness-Recomp, a native Windows x64 build of the Xbox 360 version.

The project statically recompiles the 360 executable into C++ and runs it through a Direct3D 11 renderer, so it is not a live emulator. Version 0.1.2 adds 60 FPS, ultrawide, mouse look, a FOV slider, and fixes for Darkness Vision glow, shadows, and high-resolution color tint.

The GitHub download includes no game files. You need your own Xbox 360 copy and 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 with Direct3D 11.

PS5 Jailbreak Reaches Firmware 13.60 - console
(hx) 05:28 PM CEST - Sep,29 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

A new PlayStation 5 jailbreak went public on Tuesday, and researcher Lance McDonald said it works on every PS5 except consoles updated in the past week or so. He later confirmed PS5 Pro is included.

Independent reports name the public chain Relapse and say it covers firmware 7.00 through 13.60, past the old 12.70 public ceiling.

Sony shipped system software 26.06-14.00.00 on September 16; that 14.00 build sits outside the new range.

McDonald also said you cannot go online on a console that has not taken the latest firmware.

Jailbreaking still violates PlayStation Network rules and can get an account or console banned.

Witcher 3 Remaster Wants 24GB RAM - briefly
(hx) 07:17 PM CEST - Sep,28 2026 - Post a comment / read (5)
CD Projekt Red has published the full PC system requirements for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered, a free upgrade that launches on September 29. Minimum settings target 1080p at 30 FPS with a Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600, a GTX 1660 or RX 5500 XT, 12GB of RAM, a 60GB SSD, and Windows 11.

Recommended 1080p/60 play needs an i7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600X, an RTX 2060 Super or RX 6600 XT, and 16GB of RAM. Ultra at 1440p/60 and ray-traced Ultra both list 24GB of RAM, while path tracing at 4K/60 with frame generation asks for an RTX 5080 plus a Core i9-13900K or Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

CD Projekt Red says a GTX 1660 can still pass 60 FPS at minimum settings, and that Windows 10 is no longer officially supported even if the game may still run.

Huang Says Forgotten Math Doesn't Matter - tech
(hx) 11:23 AM CEST - Sep,28 2026 - Post a comment / read (6)
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told The Ezra Klein Show on September 23, 2026 that basic math being forgotten may not matter. He said long division, multiplication tables, and square roots are fading, then added, “Does it matter? I don’t think it does.”

The talk cited a China study of about 26,800 students: AI raised homework scores about 18 percent and cut homework time about 30 percent, while closed-book exam scores fell about 20 percent. Huang also said he does not know his own address, ZIP code, or phone number, and that people will lose some “finer intellectual dexterity” but become better systems thinkers.

My opinion: If a civilization stops teaching math, it does not get “new skills.” It loses the tool that lets people check a machine when the machine is wrong. Math is how you spot a bad number, a bad model, and a bad bill. A society that outsources every calculation becomes a passenger. When the model fails, the grid flickers, or the score is fake, nobody left can prove it. Total dependence is not progress. It is the point where humans stop being able to govern their own tools!!!

Unofficial ILL Clip Claims DLSS 5 Horror - movie
(hx) 10:18 AM CEST - Sep,28 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
YouTube channel GameV posted a 4K clip that presents upcoming horror game ILL running DLSS 5 on an RTX 5090 at max settings.

ILL is a first-person survival horror game from Team Clout and Mundfish Powerhouse, set for 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Steam. NVIDIA launched DLSS 5 on September 3, 2026 for GeForce RTX 50-series cards, but ILL is not on the official support list and the game is not out yet.

Viewers say the clip is existing ILL footage run through a third-party DLSS 5 converter, not native in-game support. Team Clout has not confirmed DLSS 5 for ILL. The game can be wishlisted now on Steam.

KCD2 Multiplayer Mod KCD:MP Hits Open Beta - mod&map
(hx) 10:05 AM CEST - Sep,28 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Modders have put multiplayer into Kingdom Come: Deliverance II with a free fan project called KCD:MP, now in open beta. The unofficial launcher lets Steam owners of game version 1.5.6 join public servers or host their own without touching single-player saves.

Players appear in Bohemia as the game’s own characters, who can ride, fight with synced sword combat, talk over proximity voice, and use a public Basic RP server in Kuttenberg. A shipped duel-arena mode covers PvP, while game modes can be scripted in Lua or C#; the tweet’s “make your own character” line is overstated, since the launcher mainly sets a display name and face, not a full creator.

KCD:MP is still early, with no story or quests, and the team says things will break. It is not made or endorsed by Warhorse Studios. The latest YouTube look at KCD2 multiplayer work is Resonant’s May 2026 video; current beta clips live on the project’s own site.

No dedicated YouTube video covers this September KCD:MP open beta yet. Official current-build clips: https://kcd-mp.com/news/ten-short-clips-from-the-current-build

PNY Denies Melted 5090 Over PSU Cable - tech
(hx) 07:19 PM CEST - Sep,27 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
A PNY GeForce RTX 5090 owner says the company refused a warranty claim after the 12V-2x6 connector melted on both the card and the PSU. Reddit user Melodic_Initial_1767 wrote that the GPU ran stock, with a lowered power limit, on the native cable from an ASRock PG-1600G ATX 3.1 unit, and failed while idle. The emails he posted quote PNY as covering only the 16-pin cable or adapter shipped in the GPU box. Reviewers who checked PNY’s published GeForce warranty (Rev. 02.28.2025) found no such cable rule. The owner says a senior technician then called the denial final and closed the ticket. PNY has not issued a public statement on this case. If you guessed "locate an unused power connector within your system and plug it into the corresponding connector on your graphics card," congratulations, you will also be denied warranty service from PNY, because apparently you have to intuit which cables are approved by PNY, since, as far as we can see, there's no list of approved cables anywhere on PNY's website, nor in the product documentation for its graphics cards. Besides, the card didn't come with a 16-pin cable, so it's not like he could have used PNY's own cable, and the idea that the firm would prefer him to use an "octopus" adapter over a native cable is shaky at best.

I personally have never had the pleasure of dealing with PNY support, but multiple other Redditors in the thread, which is nearing 1,200 replies at this point, have mentioned a history of difficulty getting support from PNY. When asking the company which clause of their warranty policy they are using to deny his warranty request, /u/Melodic_Initial_1767 was apparently told by a "Senior Technician" that the decision is final and that his ticket had been closed.

iPhone 18 Pro Freeze Bug Gets Apple Fix - tech
(hx) 01:37 PM CEST - Sep,27 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Some iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max phones freeze and then reboot after a failed Face ID check inside a locked app. Apple told 9to5Mac on 23 September 2026 that a software update for that bug is due early next week and that a store swap is not required. The phones went on sale on 18 September with iOS 27, and the glitch does not hit every unit. TechDroider posted a 27 September video of an 18 Pro home screen going black and the UI breaking up; that clip is a user demo, not an Apple advisory. Press reports guess the patch will ship as iOS 27.0.1, but Apple has not named the build. Wait for the official update rather than chasing a hardware replacement.

This Glitch Can FULLY CRASH the new iPhone 18 Pro

New iOS glitch has been discovered which can make the iPhone completely UNRESPONSIVE and mess up the entire UI. Apple NEEDS to take action immediately and push a HOTFIX update ASAP.

Intel Warned Years Ago: USB 3.0 Can Break 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi - tech
(hx) 11:05 PM CEST - Sep,26 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
XDA is recycling a real Intel finding, not a new 2026 hack: USB 3.0 data can spray radio noise into the same 2.4–2.5 GHz band used by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Intel’s April 2012 white paper said that noise can come from a USB 3.0 port, cable, or drive and raise the noise floor when a wireless antenna sits close by.

In one test, plugging in a USB 3.0 hard drive lifted 2.4 GHz noise by nearly 20 dB and made a wireless mouse lag a few feet away.

Better shielding, moving the dongle, using a USB 2.0 port, or jumping to 5 GHz Wi-Fi usually fixes it.

This is RF interference, not malware, and it does not hit every setup the same way.

If your 2.4 GHz link dies only after you plug in a fast USB stick, that old Intel paper is still the reason.

Astra 2 Matches Ally X in RDR2 at Half the Watts - briefly
(hx) 10:57 PM CEST - Sep,26 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
A YouTube clip making the rounds shows a RedMagic Astra 2 tablet keeping pace with a ROG Xbox Ally X in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Tester Dame Tech ran both at 720p High with no frame generation; the tablet sat near 20 watts while the Windows handheld sat near 40 watts.

Frame rates stayed close, then the Astra 2 climbed past 100°C and slowed a bit as the session ran on.

The tablet is running PC games through Android emulation, not a native Windows build, and the Ally X still launched at $999.99.

A quoted post also notes volunteers are putting Valve’s Steam Frame SteamOS ARM userspace onto some Snapdragon handhelds such as the AYN Odin 2.

That community work is real; a $400 “Odin 4” replacing every Ally X is still just a prediction.

Microsoft Pauses KB5002907 After Office Licenses Break - tech
(hx) 10:54 PM CEST - Sep,26 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Microsoft has paused optional update KB5002907 after some PCs lost a working Office license.

The patch was meant only for Microsoft 365 Apps that were more than 90 days out of date on Current Channel or Monthly Enterprise Channel.

Microsoft now says some Office 2016 and Office 2019 installs showed unexpected results after the update ran.

In some cases Office looks unlicensed and must be reactivated; in rare cases the product is removed and must be reinstalled.

A Microsoft spokesperson told BleepingComputer the company is aware of the reports and paused the rollout while it investigates.

Users who already installed it should use Microsoft’s reactivation or reinstall pages, not another unofficial “fix” tool.
