Last night, the PlayStation Network went offline worldwide, preventing players not only from playing online games, but also digital games in some cases, and it definitely feels like something other than a DDoS attack may have happened. At the time of writing, the PlayStation online services have been down for over 14 hours worldwide with no communication from Sony other than a simple acknowledgment that the PlayStation Network is indeed down. Over the past few hours, some users managed to get back online and access their accounts and the PlayStation Store

After several reports of supposedly bricked GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs emerged, NVIDIA started investigating the matter. Amid Reports of Bricked RTX 5090 and RTX 5090D GPUs, NVIDIA Has Launched an Investigation The reports of bricked RTX 5090 GPUs and the Chinese variant RTX 5090D have been piling up for a few days. With no clear solution in sight, many have tried troubleshooting the issue through various methods, only to find the issue being persistent in most cases

SpaceX might have lost another second stage Falcon 9 rocket launched at the start of this month shows data from the satellite tracking website Celes Track. The Falcon 9 rocket launched from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Florida with SpaceX's 22 Starlink satellites. Once the Falcon 9's second stage deploys its satellites, it fires up its Merlin vacuum engine to reduce its speed for atmospheric reentry. However, sources claim and satellite tracking data shows that the rocket missed its reentry target making it the third time in a year

The golden opportunity to grab any one of AMD’s fastest desktop processors on Amazon is today because the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is down to its original launch price of $479, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is available to boost your framerate for just $359 after a 20 percent discount. This is one of those rare occasions where both desktop processors are available at ‘lower than expected’ prices, but to be fair, these changes

This time, the overclocker utilized two 24 GB DDR5 memory modules to push the speed to 10,200 MT/s, making another world record. Overclocker hicookie Pushes V-Color 2x 24GB DDR5 Memory Kit to 10200 MT/s on AMD's X870 AORUS Tachyon ICE Once again, overclockers are in the race to achieve the highest possible memory clock speed, but this submission (via @UnikoHardware) is one of the most impressive

TSMC is rumored to now restrict placing orders below 16nm from Chinese IC design companies, signaling that the Taiwan giant will be more careful with China now. TSMC Will Only Place Orders With China's Chip Companies If They Package Semiconductor From Well, it seems like TSMC is looking to be more cautious in dealing with China amid the backlash it received when it was previously reported that TSMC's chips ended up in Huawei's AI processors. In a report by Taiwan Economic Daily, it is now being claimed

Samsung had been reported to be working on a new Exynos chipset codenamed ‘Ulysses’ and it would leverage the company’s 2nm technology. At the time, TSMC had achieved a new milestone with its own 2nm process, obtaining a 60 percent yield during its trial production run, meaning that the Korean foundry needed to move expeditiously to ensure that its cutting-edge nodes maintained some kind of pace with its competitor. Fortunately, during the early production run of the Exynos 2600, a new

Former Insomniac Games founder and CEO Ted Price revealed that the studio had pitched Resistance 4, but Sony refused. Speaking on the latest episode of the Kinda Funny Gamescast, when asked about something the studio had come up with without getting it greenlit, Price picked this game: Resistance 4. We did pitch that one, and it was a wonderful concept. It's just that, in terms of timing and market opportunity, it didn't work out, but it was the result of a lot of Insomniac team

Technology companies based in Taiwan face the possibility that newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump will follow through with this plan of applying tariffs on imported chips, meaning that MediaTek will also be included in this list. This move will subsequently lead to more expensive chipsets from the fabless semiconductor, affecting its revenue and growth for the year. MediaTek’s CEO stated on Friday that the company has been running simulations on these U.S. tariffs, likely hoping that a positive outcome materializes. Chief Executive of MediaTek also

In March 2024, Apple had filed a lawsuit against Andrew Aude, who was once on the company’s payroll as an iOS software engineer. The lawsuit stated that the person had leaked confidential information on policies and products, particularly the cutting-edge Apple Vision Pro, to notable media outlets. The lawsuit has been dismissed, but at least the company got an apology out of the ex-employee. The now-dismissed lawsuit claimed that Andrew Aude had leaked more than half a dozen Apple policies and
