AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D Linux Benchmarks Forthcoming

Today marks the retail availability of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D processors. At the top of the hour when the new AMD Zen 5 3D V-Cache processors went on sale, I found both the 9900X3D and 9950X3D in-stock and at MSRP pricing… Less than a half hour later, the 9950X3D is now out of stock while as of writing the 9900X3D remains in-stock at major Internet retailers at its $599 price point…

Pixel 10 Pro And Pro XL Render Leak Reveals Display And Dimension Details

Pixel 10 Pro And Pro XL Render Leak Reveals Display And Dimension Details
Exclusive renders of the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL have been leaked online. If the images (and accompanying information) are true, the new phones will be pretty much identical to the Pixel 9 series in dimensions and screen sizes. It’s even safe to say that Pixel 9 cases would likely fit on the Pixel 10 as well. The biggest changes will

This Solar-Powered, Subscription-Free Eufy Security Camera Is $100 Right Now

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

If you’re looking for an outdoor security camera that doesn’t need constant battery swaps or a monthly subscription, the Eufy SoloCam S40 might be worth considering—especially now that it’s $99.99 (down from its usual $199). This battery-powered camera comes with a built-in solar panel, which, according to Eufy, only needs two hours of direct sunlight daily to stay charged. That’s the kind of low-maintenance setup we want, but as with all solar-powered devices, real-world performance depends on actual sunlight exposure, so if you live somewhere gloomy or have lots of shade, you might run into trouble. Setup is straightforward, with built-in wifi allowing it to connect directly to your router without requiring a base station (but that also means you’ll need a strong signal wherever you install it).

Security features are solid. The 90dB siren can be activated remotely if an intruder is spotted, and the two-way audio lets you communicate with visitors—or warn off unwanted ones. AI-powered motion detection helps cut down false alerts by recognizing whether movement is from a person or something else, and custom activity zones allow you to filter notifications to specific areas. Unlike many competing security cameras, the SoloCam S40 doesn’t require a subscription to access past recordings. Instead, it comes with 8GB of built-in storage. However, HomeKit isn’t supported, which might be a dealbreaker if you’re deep into Apple’s ecosystem. On the plus side, Alexa and Google Assistant integration means you can view the live feed on a smart display or include the camera in automation routines.

The IP67-rated build of the SoloCam S40 means it can handle rain and dust, while its 130-degree field of view provides decent coverage. When motion is detected, you’ll get instant alerts on your smartphone and access to a 2K video feed through the Eufy Security app. The app also lets you tweak motion settings and review recordings, among other controls. Day or night, footage is recorded in color, thanks to its 600-lumen floodlight, though this light can only be set to trigger on motion detection or be manually turned on via the app—it won’t stay on for general illumination (something to consider if you were hoping to use it as a permanent fixture for illuminating a driveway or entryway).

Sophisticated 0-Day Targets Millions Of iPhone, iPad, Mac And Vision Pro Devices

Sophisticated 0-Day Targets Millions Of iPhone, iPad, Mac And Vision Pro Devices
If you own an Apple device, there’s a good chance an important security update is available, one that addresses an “extremely sophisticated attack” zero-day security flaw that’s being actively exploited in the wild. Your Apple Watch and AirPods are not affected, but practically every other device is, including several generations of iPhone

The Devil May Cry Netflix series has a real trailer, and now Papa Roach is stuck in my head

There are many reasons Devil May Cry fans will enjoy the upcoming show adaptation’s new trailer. But, I must warn you, after watching it Papa Roach’s “Last Resort” will be stuck in your head for days. The early 2000s song plays alongside a two-minute trailer that showcases Dante and, notably, his twin brother Vergil. 

There are many great takeaways from this peek at the show, but one of the most amusing might be when Lady rips of Dante’s shirt and he responds, “Ripped and irresistible dream boat, I know. You still can’t just tear a guy’s clothes off.” It’s that kind of lighthearted banter mixed with the action sequences that make us so excited for the Devil May Cry series. 

A television series version of Capcom’s Devil May Cry game has been in the works for years now. We first got a teaser back in 2023, but we only learned in January that it will premiere on Netflix on April 3. The animated series from Korean company Studio Mir is actually Devil May Cry‘s second go as a show — in 2007, a 12-episode anime based on the game ran in Japan. 

Not familiar with the video game? Here’s Netflix’s synopsis for the Devil May Cry TV show: “Sinister forces are at play at the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon hunter for hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.”

Neon Roguelike ZIX Arrives On Quest And Steam This Fall

Hidden IO’s high-octane roguelike will debut on Quest and Steam later this year.

Developed by Hidden IO, ZIX asks players to speed through eerie neon-soaked environments as Acolytes, taking out a slew of creepy creatures and harvesting ‘raw instability’ to feed a destruction-hungry force called Zix.

You can jump between three overarching worlds, with the levels across each being procedurally generated. As you perfect your runs, each new environment offers strange ingredients and enemy types. Once you find the ingredients, you can fuse them to create bespoke abilities and chaotic augmentations for your warrior. As seen during the VR Games Showcase, here’s the latest trailer.

ZIX offers an uncommon approach to combat in VR, with players relying entirely on using the triggers and grips alongside gestures to perform specific actions. Like directing an orchestra, you’ll chain these gestures to perform dodges, dives, flips and, most importantly, damage.

Along your journey, you’ll meet a range of intimidating bosses who apply changes to the battlefield as you thwart them. You can take on ZIX solo or with up to two additional players. As confirmed in the initial announcement, the online co-op mode will also support cross-platform multiplayer.

ZIX is coming to Steam and Quest in fall 2025.

Microsoft’s Latest Update Patches 57 Security Vulnerabilities

Microsoft’s released its monthly Patch Tuesday update for March 2025 to fix 57 bugs across Windows, Office, Azure, and other Microsoft systems. Seven of the patches address zero-day vulnerabilities, six of which have been actively exploited.

According to Bleeping Computer, this month’s update fixes 23 elevation of privilege flaws, three security feature bypass flaws, 23 remote code execution flaws, four information disclosure flaws, one denial of service flaw, and three spoofing flaws. Microsoft also released patches to numerous vulnerabilities in Mariner and Microsoft Edge this month.

Patch Tuesday fixes for March

Seven of the flaws fixed were zero-day vulnerabilities, which allow bad actors to exploit systems before an official patch is released by developers. In this case, six of the seven zero-day vulnerabilities were actively exploited, while one was publicly exposed—so it’s only a matter of time before actors exploit this seventh vulnerability, as well.

Two of the six active exploits (CVE-2025-24985 and CVE-2025-24993) are remote code execution vulnerabilities, through which attackers trick users into mounting a malicious VHD file to run code remotely. One affects the Windows Fast FAT System Driver, while the other is a flaw in Windows NTFS.

Two of the active exploits are information disclosure vulnerabilities, both in Windows NTFS. CVE-2025-24984 allows bad actors with physical access to a device to read memory and steal data when a malicious USB drive is inserted, while CVE-2025-24991 is exploited when a user mounts a malicious VHD file.

Finally, there’s CVE-2025-24983, a vulnerability in the Windows Win32 Kernel Subsystem that allows local attackers to gain system privileges on a device, and CVE-2025-26633, a security feature bypass vulnerability in the Microsoft Management Console.

Microsoft says most of the exploited zero-days flaws were disclosed anonymously, though CVE-2025-24983 was identified by ESET and CVE-2025-26633 by Trend Micro.

The publicly disclosed zero-day—labeled CVE-2025-26630 and discovered by Unpatched.ai—allows remote code execution in Microsoft Office Access if the user opens a file sent via a phishing or social engineering attack. Microsoft also released patches for six other “critical” vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Office, Remote Desktop Client, Windows Domain Name Service, Windows Remote Desktop Services, and Windows Subsystem for Linux Kernel.

How to install Microsoft’s latest security updates

Microsoft releases its Patch Tuesday fixes on the second Tuesday of every month at 10 a.m. PT and pushes notifications and security updates to users if needed. Windows and Microsoft security updates generally download and install automatically on your PC. To ensure your PC is updated, go to Start > Settings > Windows Update, and select Check for Windows updates.

Linux 6.15 Set To Include Better Handling For Intel P Or E Core Only Mitigations

A set of patches from Intel for utilizing the CPU type for CPU matching as part of the x86 mitigation handling is likely to be part of the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel. These patches are intended for helping with CPU security mitigations on Intel Core hybrid processors where there are security vulnerabilities affecting only P cores or only E cores but not both sets of CPU cores present in the system…

Netflix’s first gaming boss has left the company

Mike Verdu has left Netflix, according to Game File with Stephen Totilo. Netflix brought the former Oculus and EA exec onboard to launch and lead its gaming efforts in 2021. Under Verdu’s leadership, the company released a bunch of new and ported titles, as well as establishing an internal game development operation. In mid-2024, however, Netflix changed its gaming strategy and hired Alain Tascan, the executive vice president for game development at Epic Games, to lead its gaming efforts. Verdu still served as the VP for games until November 2024, after which he was named as the Vice President of generative AI for games. 

On LinkedIn, Verdu wrote that his role was about “driving a ‘once in a generation’ inflection point for game development and player experiences using generative AI.” He added that he was “focused on a creator-first vision for AI, one that puts creative talent at the center, with AI being a catalyst and an accelerant.” Verdu has yet to update his LinkedIn profile with a new role. As Totilo said in his newsletter, Netflix’s gaming efforts have undergone some big changes since Tascan took over. 

In 2022, Netflix hired former Overwatch boss Chacko Sonny to lead an internal AAA studio known as Team Blue. It then brought on Halo exec Joseph Staten, as well as God of War art director Rafael Grassett to work on a multi-platform AAA game for an all-new IP. But in October 2024, Netflix shut down Team Blue. The company had also lost Leanne Loombe, who headed up its second and third-party gaming development and publishing efforts. Loombe recently became the head of games at Annapurna Interactive following a mass exodus, wherein all 25 members of the studio’s team collectively resigned. And in early February, Netflix canceled its release plans for six games that were previously heading to iOS and Android, including Thirsty Suitors and Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game.
