Last week, we reported on Democrat congressman Bill Foster's plans to introduce a bill that requires manufacturers of AI processors, like those in Nvidia GPUs, to implement tech that allows the US government to track where they end up. Well, it looks like the Senate didn't want to be outdone, because less than 24 hours later Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas announced the Chip Security Act, his own bill requiring...

This summer, Universal Pictures is stealing a page from Disney’s profitable “remake a beloved animated movie in live action” playbook with How to Train Your Dragon, which looks like a shot-for-shot redux of the 2010 film. Word out of CinemaCon 2025, where the film screened early, is that director Dean DeBlois (who also directed the original animated feature) pretty much nailed it. Which almost guarantees that in a few weeks,...
Nintendo will let Switch 2 owners opt into a setting that stops their system’s battery from charging once it reaches “around 90%” as part of an effort to preserve the system’s battery life. Nintendo revealed the new feature in its Nintendo Today app Monday. “The Nintendo Switch 2 system stops charging when it reaches about 90% remaining battery” with that setting turned on, Nintendo said. “Pausing the charge at around...

Sega promised new Virtua Fighter details this weekend, and with the company revealing a glimpse of Virtua Fighter 6, aka “New Virtua Fighter Project,” back in December, fans expected a smorgasbord of news regarding the forthcoming title. But what the community received was far less expected: Temu Ganondorf. Sunday’s VF Direct 2025 Spring presentation showed off a modernized design for Virtua Fighter veteran Wolf Hawkfield in the form of a...
Fighting game pro Victor Woodley, better known as Punk, says he lost a match at fighting game event Evo Japan this weekend not because of a skill issue, but because of a PlayStation 5 “malfunction” that’s plagued previous tournaments. Punk blasted Evo organizers for not addressing the issue, and said he won’t compete in future tournaments if the problem persists. “PS5 is so ass,” Punk posted on X (formerly Twitter),...
Gearbox Software co-founder and CEO Randy Pitchford is going full PT Barnum for the release of Borderlands 4, bullishly telling everyone that this is going to be the best Borderlands since sliced bread, and wading into online fights to tell the doubters to "play the game first." Heck he even pulled a Todd Howard: "you see something anywhere on the screen, a mile away, up in the sky, you will...
You can't beat an air cooler on a budget and there's no better example of that than the superb Arctic Freezer 36. It's quiet, performs exceptionally well, and is very affordable—what more could you ask for?Arctic has nailed the formula with the Freezer 36. I've used other popular designs from the company prior to this, such as the Freezer 34, but without a doubt the Freezer 36 is the one...
I find the Hyper 612 to be oddly satisfying to look at. It stands out for having little about it that actually stands out. It has a wholly understated design yet its silver-sided fans make it something of a showpiece in the right build to match. It looks more expensive than it is, and that's a very good quality to have, though you could spend less on something equally effective.No...
