What just happened? We’ve seen plenty of melted GPU and cable connectors involving Nvidia graphics cards, but some have question marks over their legitimacy. However, the latest incident, involving an RTX 5090 and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, happened to the editor-in-chief of a gaming publication, and he recorded everything in great detail. John Papadopoulos of DSO Gaming writes that he was playing new Soulslike Wuchang: Fallen Feathers yesterday when he noticed an unusual smell. Failing to discover its source, he decided to open his PC to check if it had fallen victim to the dreaded cable-melting issues plaguing so many Nvidia…

New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo said in a Thursday interview that his opponent, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, has an advantage as the Democrat listed on the general election ballot this November. The former New York governor — who launched an independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary — said he fears voters will flock to the democratic socialist assemblyman simply because he’s listed as the Democrat. “A multi-candidate field favors Mamdani — because he’s a socialist on the Democratic line. I’m a Democrat on an independent line,” Cuomo said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk…

Many villains in fiction have troubled childhoods, from Batman’s nemesis the Joker to Black Panther’s foe Erik Killmonger. Supposedly, such villains are driven to hurt people because they’ve been hurt in the past. But in DC and Marvel superhero movies, a rough childhood doesn’t always mean that characters become villains. “We know that when you have a hard childhood, there is a risk that you can have more challenges when you’re an adult,” says Jennifer Jackson. She’s a professor of nursing at the University of Calgary in Canada. But many people who experience difficult things when they’re young go on…

Don’t Tap the Glass is Tyler, the Creator’s second album in less than a year and, at only 28 minutes, notably less robust than its predecessor, Chromakopia. But all the elements of his work are here: the swaggy boasts, the effortless shifts from deep-voiced rapping to winsome, slightly off-key singing that makes a listener wonder if a second person has entered the booth; and beats that shape-shift like a kid rifling through a toy box. It’s the latest manifestation of a boundless creative impulse that has helped him leap from grumpy provocateur circa 2009’s Bastard to arena status, an annual…

Apple has modified the screenshot experience in iOS 26 to accommodate Visual Intelligence and its new Liquid Glass aesthetic. Taking a screenshot is still done by pressing the Side button and Volume Up button on your iPhone, but the interface has been redesigned, while there’s another change that might slow down your workflow if you’re used to the streamlined approach taken in iOS 18 and earlier. Why You Might Want to Switch Back If you regularly use Apple’s screen capture tools in iOS 18, you’ll know that screenshots appear as small thumbnails in the bottom-left corner that you can quickly…

An artificial intelligence system has revealed fresh details about one of the most famous Latin inscriptions: the Res Gestae Divi Augusti, once inscribed on two bronze pillars in Rome and in copies throughout the Roman Empire. Researchers used an AI system called Aeneas to analyze the supposedly autobiographical inscription, which translates to “Deeds of the Divine Augustus.” When compared with other Latin texts, the RGDA inscription (as it is known) shares subtle language parallels with Roman legal documents and reflects “imperial political discourse,” or messaging focused on maintaining imperial power — an insight not previously noted by human historians, researchers…

My brother recently sent me a copy of an Israeli military order that was found by farmers on our land and nearby plots in the occupied West Bank. The document, accompanied by a map, states that the land is being seized for military purposes. It does not specify how long the land will be held and offers the landowners and users only seven days from an upcoming field visit – coordinated between the Israelis and the Palestinian Authority (PA) liaison office – to file an objection with the Israeli army’s legal adviser. This field visit typically serves to demarcate the…

Emilia Clarke’s Brain AneurysmEmilia Clarke filmed battle scenes for Game of Thrones, but in 2019, she published an essay in The New Yorker titled “A Battle for My Life.”Having a bad headache at the gym, “I reached the toilet, sank to my knees, and proceeded to be violently, voluminously ill,” the actress wrote. “Meanwhile, the pain—shooting, stabbing, constricting pain—was getting worse. At some level, I knew what was happening: my brain was damaged.”She was taken to the hospital for a brain scan.”The diagnosis was quick and ominous: a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening type of stroke, caused by bleeding into…
