AMD Releases Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 WHQL Drivers - [gaming]
06:35 PM EDT - Oct,29 2025 - post a comment AMD has released its latest Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 driver, adding support for the new Ryzen AI 5 330 processor alongside Battlefield 6 (DX12) and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 (DX12). This new version also debuts Work Graphs support on Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs and expands Vulkan capabilities.
According to the release notes, the update resolves several issues, including crashes in The Last of Us Part II, Firebreak, and NBA 2K25, as well as graphical corruption in GTFO, Serious Sam 4, and VTOL VR. AMD also addressed stuttering seen in Baldur's Gate 3 and with certain VR headsets. A temporary workaround for VR users experiencing stutter at 80-90 Hz is to adjust the headset's refresh rate. AMD confirmed in the release note that several known issues (intermittent application crashes, driver timeouts, texture flickering, or corruption) with Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield 6, Roblox Player, and Counter-Strike 2 (DX11) are yet to be resolved. |
Exploding AMD CPUs | Investigating ASRock's Murderboards - [hardware]
08:17 AM EDT - Oct,29 2025 - post a comment ASRock motherboards have been killing AMD CPUs all year, and in particular, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs. The mystery has been unsolved for 9 months now (and remains unsolved), but ASRock and AMD are both investigating, as are we. In theory, they should find an answer before us -- but for whatever reason, it's been complete silence from both companies beyond some blame-gaming between them. In this video, we do our best to test for internet theories as to the root cause of ASRock's murderboard failures that cause the destruction of X3D CPUs.

Tor Browser says no to Firefox's AI features as it removes them - [security]
08:05 AM EDT - Oct,18 2025 - post a comment The Tor Project recently released Tor Browser 15.0a4 with the usual collection of bug fixes and improvements, but the biggest change is the removal of Firefox's new AI and machine learning components (Tor Browser is a modified version of Firefox).
It is a bit interesting because while major companies, like Microsoft and Google, are busy adding AI features to their browsers, the Tor developers are actively working to remove them. A contributor to the Tor Project (@henry) noted that the team has not audited the code and cannot realistically audit the trained "black box" behavior of these machine learning models.
They acknowledged that some users might "want to accept the risk of local black box from Mozilla" for certain features, but the project is opting for exclusion first. Components that were removed include the AI chatbot sidebar, which Mozilla rolled out in March, and the link preview feature from May that summarizes pages.
Apart from the removal of the ML stuff, Tor Browser 15.0.a4 removes several Mozilla/Firefox-related branding, like the "cute" little fox graphics, Firefox Home, and the new History Sidebar. Speaking of the History Sidebar, it has been replaced by the old history panel from Tor Browser 14.5, which you can access with the Ctrl + H shortcut.
Tor Browser will no longer hide the protocol (like http or https) of the URL in the address bar on desktop, but it will still remain hidden on Android. |

Google Turned Down by Supreme Court, Must Open up App Payments - [crime-law]
04:34 PM EDT - Oct,12 2025 - post a comment Google has lost its final effort to delay new, court-ordered app store rules. The US Supreme Court has turned down Google's request to temporarily freeze parts of a key injunction. As as result, starting later this month, Google must allow developers to include external links in apps, enabling users to bypass Google's billing system. Google must comply even as it continues to appeal the case, which was started by Fortnite maker Epic Games. Additional provisions of the upheld injunction come into effect next year, including a requirement that Google allow users to download rival app stores within its Play Store. |
AMD releases new 25.10.1 preview graphics driver with Battlefield 6 support - [gaming]
04:23 PM EDT - Oct,10 2025 - post a comment AMD has introduced the Adrenalin Edition 25.10.1 Battlefield 6 Preview Driver, offering performance enhancements specifically tuned for Battlefield 6 running under DirectX 12. This release focuses on delivering stable gameplay and refined performance scaling for Radeon RX GPUs. The driver is listed as version 25.10.25.25, accompanied by Windows Driver Store version 32.0.21025.25005. It is compatible with both Windows 10 (64-bit version 19044 or later) and Windows 11 (64-bit). Additionally, it integrates the Ryzen AI NPU MCDM Driver version 32.00.0203.297, dated August 25, 2025, ensuring that AMD Ryzen AI-enabled systems also benefit from this software stack.
Designed as a preview build, Adrenalin 25.10.1 targets Battlefield 6 players who wish to test early optimizations for the upcoming title. It enables fine-tuned performance on AMD RDNA-based GPUs-including Radeon RX 6000, 7000, and 8000 series—and AMD Ryzen APUs with integrated Radeon graphics. While this version improves frame pacing and responsiveness in Battlefield 6, AMD recommends keeping the latest WHQL driver installed for other gaming titles to maintain certified stability.
The installation package includes updated components and dependencies that improve DirectX 12 resource handling and shader compilation, reducing stutter in high-load combat scenarios. The preview driver also continues AMD's initiative to integrate Ryzen AI features for supported laptops, enhancing AI-powered frame analysis and performance telemetry. |

iOS 26.0.1 is Out! - What's New? - [mobile]
01:17 PM EDT - Sep,30 2025 - post a comment iOS 26.0.1 released to the public and iOS 26.0.1 is out to everyone. iOS 26.0.1 brings the first major bug fix and security update for iOS 26. It is focused on iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, but also has other fixes for all iPhones as well. In this video I show you every update and change in iOS 26.0.1 using iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Fast-forward to 2025: Apple jumped to iOS 26 as its latest major OS, announced at WWDC 2025 and released on September 15, 2025—just in time for the iPhone 17 launch. This isn't a typo or error; Apple restructured its versioning in 2025 to align iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and other platforms under a unified "26" scheme (based on the year 2026, similar to how Windows or other OSes use year-based jumps).
