No discussions about President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s succession will take place at the upcoming Zanu PF National People’s Conference, according to the party’s Information and Publicity Director, Farai Marapira. Some party members and observers had anticipated the topic would arise because of the ongoing rivalry between Mnangagwa and his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, but Marapira stated that succession is only addressed at congress, which is not scheduled until 2027.
Supporters of Mnangagwa are advocating for him to extend his presidency beyond the two-term limit, while Chiwenga’s backers are quietly resisting and aiming to position their preferred candidate, Kudakwashe Tagwirei. Despite party slogans calling for Mnangagwa to remain in...
Bungie has faced significant challenges over the past two years, with issues ranging from layoffs and controversies about stolen work to criticism of its leadership. While Destiny 2 saw a slight boost with the release of The Final Shape, the overall outlook remains difficult. The Game Post recently reported that Destiny 2 has reached its lowest player numbers on Steam since its 2019 launch, following the release of the Edge of Fate expansion and ahead of the upcoming Star Wars-themed Renegades expansion, scheduled for December.
According to Steam Charts, the game has averaged approximately 18,100 players over the past 30 days. There is speculation that the Star Wars expansion could help boost player interest; however, the game's...
Microsoft has made strides to improve security in Windows 11, but Apple claims its Mac lineup remains ahead, as shown in a new video ad. The ad shows Apple employees helping rivals at a trade show recover from a software outage by handing out Mac mini units after their Windows PCs suffered a Blue Screen of Death. The ad ends with the message that Mac security is unmatched.
Apple highlighted the recent CrowdStrike incident, which affected many Windows systems with BSOD errors while Macs remained unaffected. Apple credits this to restricted low-level access in macOS, which helps protect hardware during outages. In the video, Apple staff quickly restored operations by distributing Mac minis to those impacted.
The M4 Mac mini is currently...
Yacht Club Games has delayed the release of Mina the Hollower, their upcoming title originally set for Halloween 2025. The developer announced on its website that it no longer has a confirmed launch date for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or Nintendo Switch 2. The team explained that the delay is not expected to be lengthy, as extra time is needed for final polishing and balancing.
Yacht Club Games stated that it will wait to announce a new release date until the game has been submitted to the platforms. The developers noted that the game is nearly finished and is being played through daily. Mina the Hollower previously received positive feedback during the June Steam Next Fest, with praise for its gameplay and pixel art.
The growing demand for AI GPUs and ASICs is creating significant pressure on the silicon supply chain, resulting in a shortage of a critical material used for smartphone system-on-chips. T-glass, a high-silica fiberglass used in chip substrates for its thermal stability and reliability, is in limited supply. According to a recent Goldman Sachs report, most T-glass is being directed toward Ajinomoto Build-up Film substrates, which are widely used in AI processors for their ability to support dense, high-performance circuitry.
This redirection of supply is leaving little T-glass available for Bismaleimide Triazine substrates, a material commonly used in smartphone chips. Goldman Sachs warns that T-glass for these substrates could face a...
The Xbox Game Pass price increase announced on Oct. 1, 2025, will not affect every current subscriber when it takes effect next month. Users on the Xbox Game Pass subreddit shared emails about the price change, noting that subscriptions in certain European countries, including Poland, Germany, Austria, and Italy, as well as in Indonesia, will remain exempt. This exemption is likely related to local laws that require user consent for automatic price increases, but Microsoft has not confirmed this reason.
Xbox Game Pass also made significant changes to its subscription tiers this month, reorganizing them as Essential, Premium, and Ultimate. The Ultimate tier now includes Ubisoft + Classics, the Fortnite Crew subscription, and day-one...

The company shared the video at the same time on the Nintendo Today app, its social media platforms, and YouTube, providing only the title.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max continues to demonstrate remarkable efficiency, outperforming rivals with far larger batteries in real-world testing. In a recent comparison by TechDroider, the iPhone 17 Pro Max powered down just five minutes before the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, despite the latter housing a 7,500mAh battery—55 percent larger than Apple’s 4,823mAh unit used in the test. The results highlight Apple’s continued lead in performance per watt, even against competitors using top-tier hardware and higher battery capacities.
The eSIM version of the iPhone 17 Pro Max carries a slightly larger 5,088mAh battery, but even the smaller variant held its ground against Android’s biggest battery champion. Observers suggest that if Apple adopts...
AMD’s chief executive offered an uncertain response when asked about reports suggesting a potential partnership with Intel, leaving speculation unresolved.
