03:28 PM EST - Dec,19 2025 - post a comment Motorola has revealed a new version of its moto g power, the company's $300 Android phone for the US.

NVIDIA GeForce 591.59 WHQL Driver - [gaming]
03:13 PM EST - Dec,18 2025 - post a comment NVIDIA has released the GeForce Game Ready 591.59 WHQL driver, a relatively small update that focuses more on fixes than on adding features. As usual, NVIDIA says the driver "optimizes the experience" in games using DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Reflex, but does not name any specific new titles. This suggests that the 591.59 WHQL driver is either a general tuning version or a maintenance release rather than a game-specific launch driver. The most notable change addresses a color bug introduced in the previous driver. Users running games or applications at non-native resolutions or aspect ratios could see washed-out or incorrect colors, this issue is now fixed. On the gaming side the driver resolves stability problems in Enshrouded on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, fixes a broken HDR toggle in Assassin's Creed Valhalla when Smooth Motion is enabled, and corrects crash issues in Dying Light: The Beast that appeared after updating to driver version 591.44.
NVIDIA has also made a couple of general improvements that are worth mentioning. They've fixed a problem where display colors looked washed out after changing from native resolution, and they've solved an issue that could lead to black screens when RTX HDR was turned on with certain TVs. In general, GeForce 591.59 WHQL driver seems to be a maintenance release that aims to increase stability and correct known issues instead of adding new features. If you've been dealing with color problems or crashes in recent drivers, you'll want to update. However, if you haven't experienced these issues, you might not notice much difference in your everyday use.

The Boys - Official Final Season Trailer - [briefly]
09:41 AM EST - Dec,07 2025 - post a comment In the fifth and final season, it's Homelander's world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother's Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a 'Freedom Camp.' Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found.

Play Store Customers to Receive Automatic Payments from $700 Million Google Settlement - [crime-law]
06:36 PM EST - Dec,05 2025 - post a comment New York Attorney General Letitia James has announced details of how consumers will receive payment as part of a $700 million settlement with Google over anticompetitive practices with its Play Store policies. In most cases, the payments will be calculated and paid automatically. Anyone who made a purchase via the Google Play Store between August 2016 and September 2023 should be eligible. Affected consumers started receiving notices this week. Google will try to make payments automatically by matching Play Store account email addresses and/or phone numbers with PayPal or Venmo accounts. Where an eligible Play Store account email address or phone number cannot be matched to a PayPal or Venmo account, "consumers have the option to create a new account or direct the payment to a PayPal or Venmo account at another email address or phone number." There will also be a supplemental claims process for consumers who don't receive an automatic payment. The settlement still needs to be formally approved by the court, which will happen no sooner than April 30, 2026. The lawsuit was led by the Attorneys General of New York, Utah, North Carolina, and Tennessee, and joined by Attorneys General of all 50 states. |
Google's Second Release of Android 16 Brings Smart Notifications and More - [mobile]
06:34 PM EST - Dec,05 2025 - post a comment Google has released an updated version of Android 16 (known as "Android 16 QPR2") with a range of new features. This is a new kind of update, the product of Google's new release schedule for Android. Now, major Android versions will come out every second quarter, and minor updates like this come each fourth quarter. (Unlike major version updates, these minor updates should require little work for app developers.) One key new feature is AI-powered notification summaries and prioritizing. Longer messages can be automatically summarized, and "Notification organizer automatically groups and silences your lower-priority notifications (such as promotions, news, and social alerts)". Another feature to help prioritize important communication is Call Reason in Google's Phone app, which will let you "mark call as urgent" when calling someone. This will display an "It's urgent" banner on the incoming call screen of the recipient. (This feature is "coming soon" and in beta.) Google is also updating Circle to Search so it can better determine whether a message is a scam or not. Google is also making key parental controls available in Settings (instead of having to open the Family Link app.) Google is also introducing a more aggressive "expanded" Dark theme option that will even dim apps not designed for dark mode. Finally, there are new options for customizing the look of app icons. As usual, Google Pixel devices will be first to receive the update, with other manufacturers following on their own schedule. |
Netflix To Buy Warner Bros for $82.7 Billion - [briefly]
06:31 PM EST - Dec,05 2025 - post a comment Netflix has agreed to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery's studios and streaming division, including HBO and HBO Max, in a deal valued at $82.7 billion enterprise value ($72 billion equity value). Deal Details
The transaction, combining cash and stock at about $27.75 per Warner Bros. Discovery share, follows a competitive bidding process against rivals like Paramount Skydance and Comcast. It awaits regulatory approval and is expected to close 12-18 months after Warner Bros. Discovery spins off its TV networks into Discovery Global by Q3 2026. Netflix faces a $5-8 billion breakup fee if the deal fails due to regulatory issues.
Analysts suggest mixed outcomes: bundling HBO Max content into Netflix could lower effective costs through enhanced value without separate subscriptions, potentially reducing overall streaming expenses for consumers. However, reduced competition from owning major libraries like HBO and DC may enable price hikes, as Netflix gains pricing power post-merger.
Netflix raised U.S. prices in January 2025, increasing the ad-free standard plan from $15.49 to $17.99 monthly and the ad-supported tier from $6.99 to $7.99, driven by subscriber growth rather than the acquisition. Cost savings of $2-3 billion annually by year three could either benefit subscribers or fund further content investments, with no firm commitments specified. |
Micron to Exit Crucial Consumer Business, Ending Retail SSD and DRAM Sales - [briefly]
05:30 PM EST - Dec,03 2025 - post a comment Micron Technology is ending the consumer-oriented branch of Crucial - that means that by February 2026, Micron will stop selling Crucial-branded SSDs and DRAM modules to retail and distribution channels worldwide. The company says this pivot is driven by soaring demand for memory and storage solutions in AI-powered data centers, where enterprise-grade DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) are far more profitable than consumer products. While Crucial products will remain available during the transition and existing warranties will continue to be honored, Micron will funnel its capacity and R&D into enterprise and commercial segments instead of personal computing. This move marks roughly three decades of Crucial's presence on the consumer market - a significant shift for PC builders, gamers, and anyone buying affordable RAM or SSDs. |
