The teardown surgeons at iFixIt did not mince any words when evaluating Apple’s fancy new AirPods Pro 3, calling the company’s latest-generation flagship earbuds “some of the most unrepairable and wasteful products you could possibly buy.” When all was said and done, the AirPods Pro 3 walked away with a dismal 0 out of 10 score for repairability.

One of the most infamous game glitches of all time is arguably the Minus World glitch in the original Super Mario Bros. on NES, which allowed gamers to access glitched levels not meant for end users. Now, almost four decades later, an equivalent has been found in both the Japanese release of Super Mario Bros. 2 and its American Lost Levels equivalent.

NVIDIA has rapid-fire released a pair of GeForce GPU drivers in quick succession, including a regularly scheduled ‘Game Ready’ driver (version 581.42) that is optimized for Battlefield 6, and an out-of-band hotfix driver (version 581.47) to stomp out an odd bug that is crashing games in some specific instances.

Intel’s graphics division has been busy shaking up its driver strategy over the past month, and the news cuts both ways.

AMD’s chiplet architecture has not really changed in a fundamental way since the introduction of the Ryzen 3000 processors based on the Zen 2 architecture back in 2019.

No celebrities were harmed in the making of Battlefield 6 or the recent Call of Duty games—but COD gameplay has had a strangely high concentration of immersion-breaking celebrity skins lately, and Battlefield 6’s live action launch trailer chose to make a pastiche of that decision. At least, before quickly and abruptly shifting to the serious

The rise of AI has led to new phrases to describe the ways people work with it, including the popular term ‘vibe coding’. Now, Microsoft is looking to add a new phrase to the lexicon with ‘vibe working’ that will be the “the new pattern of work for human-agent collaboration.” To that end, Microsoft is integrating AI agents into various parts
