Nintendo plans to broadcast another Direct presentation within the coming weeks. PH Brasil shared this information during a recent online stream after correctly predicting Nintendo announcements before. The leaker expects the show to happen around June 5th, when the Switch 2 consoles reach stores. Famiiboards forum members discussed these rumors after hearing the live stream details. The timing matches Nintendo's typical announcement patterns for major hardware launches.
The upcoming presentation will probably reveal specific launch dates for confirmed games. Metroid Prime 4 Echoes needs an official release window since it works on both console versions. Final Fantasy VII Remake still awaits its Nintendo port announcement. Other titles...
A Reddit user turned his broken typewriter into a working computer. The old machine had missing parts and could not type anymore. He discovered that the case perfectly held a micro-ATX motherboard. Converting the vintage device gave it new life as a modern PC. This creative project saved the typewriter from ending up as trash.
The builder stuffed computer parts inside the small typewriter case. He installed an MSI motherboard with a Core i5 6600 processor. The system runs on 4GB of memory and a 240GB solid-state drive. A 200-watt power supply provides enough electricity for all components. An NVIDIA graphics card connects through a riser cable to boost performance.
Arduino hardware converts the original keys into a USB keyboard. The...
Apple plans major iPhone design changes over the next three years. The 2025 iPhone 17 models will feature larger camera systems with matrix lens layouts. These phones represent the smallest visual changes compared to future versions. Digital Chat Station shared details about upcoming iPhone modifications on social media. The iPhone 17 Air may not receive the same camera upgrades as other models.
The 2026 iPhone 18 series will hide Face ID parts under the screen. Only the front camera will remain visible as a small hole at the top. This design mirrors many Android phones already on the market. Apple must ensure that facial recognition still works properly with hidden components. The company might cancel this plan if it fails their...
ZeniMax Online Studios is working on technology changes that could bring cross-play to Elder Scrolls Online. Matt Firor and Rich Lambert discussed the possibility during their final podcast episode with Kinda Funny Gamecast. The team started building the game in 2007 when nobody thought about connecting different gaming systems. Microsoft's new approach makes it easier to arrange agreements between companies. Cross-play requires complex technology work that takes years to complete.
Rich Lambert calls cross-play a massive technical challenge rather than just flipping a switch. The developers must coordinate with multiple platform holders to make everything work together. Lambert previously described the task as extremely difficult but...
T-Mobile pushes customers toward self-service apps and away from store visits. Sales staff face heavy pressure to meet targets. Third-party retailers hurt the company's reputation with questionable practices. These stores look like official T-Mobile locations but operate independently. Customers often cannot tell the difference between real and franchise stores.
Arch Telecom employees must turn away senior customers who want cheap $30 plans. Management forbids selling these lower-priced options because they make less money. Many seniors need these affordable plans due to limited income. Workers feel torn between keeping their jobs and helping customers. The focus shifted from customer service to hitting sales numbers.
Employees report...
Samsung struggled to make enough Exynos 2500 chips for Galaxy S25 phones. The company used Snapdragon chips instead because factory problems hurt production. Workers started making the Samsung chips again in February. Test scores show the new processor runs slower than competitors. The chip only beats Google's Tensor G4 processor.
Benchmark tests reveal disappointing results for Samsung's latest effort. The Exynos 2500 scored 2,012 points for single tasks and 7,563 points for multiple tasks. Rival chips from Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Xiaomi all perform better. The Samsung chip uses 10 cores, with the fastest one running at 3.30GHz speeds. AMD helped Samsung build the graphics part called Xclipse 950.
Samsung plans to put the...
Skywind modders shared a fresh 20-minute video yesterday. The team showed off gameplay from a quest about saving Joncis Dalomax. Fans waited two years for another demo like this one. The video recreates an original Morrowind mission inside the Skyrim engine. Players can see how the classic adventure looks with modern graphics.
The project moves closer to completion across many areas. Artists finished all basic game artwork and started extra pieces. Writers completed the main story text and worked on flavor content. Programmers have nearly finished spell-crafting systems and character creation screens. Level designers completed 60 percent of the indoor areas.
The team needs more helpers for several jobs. They want people who can make...
Graphics card power connectors keep burning up despite attempts to fix them. MSI created special cables with yellow tips to help users connect them correctly. A Reddit user found his MSI connector melted, even with the improved design. The yellow part should fit completely inside the graphics card port. Many similar cases have happened before with regular connectors.
The RTX 5090 graphics card uses nearly 600 watts of power during heavy use. High power makes cables heat up past 100 degrees and sometimes reach 150 degrees. Hot temperatures melt both cables and connectors quickly. The Reddit user was lucky his graphics card did not break. Companies have studied the problem but found no lasting solution.
Google plans to stop using Samsung for making phone chips. The tech giant wants TSMC to build future processors instead. Samsung made the Tensor G4 chip, but it will be the last one. Google picked TSMC because Samsung has problems making chips well. The company needs better chips to compete with other phone makers.
Google bosses flew to Taiwan to meet with TSMC leaders. They want a deal that lasts three to five years. The first new chip will be called Tensor G5. TSMC will make it using advanced 3nm technology. This chip should appear in phones next year.
Samsung struggles to make 3nm chips without defects. The Korean company cannot deliver chips fast enough for Google, which would mean waiting too long and paying more money. TSMC...
