Sikandar Raza will play for Zimbabwe against England in the Test match at Trent Bridge this month. The Pakistan Super League will start again on May 17 after the Pakistan Cricket Board stopped games due to military tensions between India and Pakistan. Raza said he puts national duty first and will definitely play in the Test match. He denied reports that claimed he would miss the Test or not return to Pakistan for PSL games. The match takes place from May 22 to 26, making it Zimbabwe's first Test in England since 2003.
The Test follows a competitive series against Bangladesh, where Zimbabwe won one match but ended in a tie. Raza represents Lahore Qalandars in PSL 2025, where he performed well. He scored 228 runs with a high strike rate...
Organoid intelligence represents an exciting new area where biology meets technology. Scientists grow tiny brain-like structures in labs and connect them with technology. These mini-brains, known as organoids, might change how we think about computing and help us better understand human brains.
Brain organoids start as stem cells, which scientists can transform into different cell types. When guided correctly, these cells organize themselves into 3D structures that mimic parts of the human brain. They develop neurons that form connections and can send electrical signals - the basic activity found in real brains.
Lab-grown mini-brains measure just a few millimeters across but contain millions of cells. They display brainwave-like...
Apple finally accepted the RCS messaging standard after Google pushed hard for this change. According to Google data from the past month, Americans send about one billion RCS messages every day. This lets Android users share high-quality photos with iPhone friends and have better group chats. The number shows progress, but traditional SMS and MMS messages still reach six billion daily across the country.
Many US phone carriers have not updated their systems to handle RCS on iPhones. This slower adoption explains why older message types remain more common despite RCS advantages. Phone companies need to make technical changes before RCS can truly take over messaging. The service already had one billion monthly users worldwide back in...
Microsoft plans to cut jobs for three percent of its people worldwide. The company wants fewer management levels to run smoothly with these changes. These cuts affect all parts of the company instead of targeting specific groups or poor performers. Microsoft made a similar move last year when it removed many workers to shift direction.
Tech firms like Google and Meta have already moved toward keeping AI staff but letting others go. Microsoft earned a lot of money recently, but it still wants to spend less on workers. The company hopes these changes will help it compete better as markets keep changing. Such decisions help these companies put more energy into AI projects that matter most to them right now. Workers across different...
Computer makers are preparing budget gaming laptops with new RTX 5050 Blackwell chips. Reports show these entry-level graphics cards come with GDDR7 memory instead of the older GDDR6 type. Both LG and Lenovo have created laptops using this new graphics card with 8GB of fast memory. The faster memory should help players run games better than previous models.
LG plans to release its Gram Pro 16 laptop with a Core Ultra 7 255H processor alongside the RTX 5050. Lenovo is preparing two different models: the Legion 5 gaming laptop and the IdeaPad Pro 5i. These computers appear in online listings, though some pages remain incomplete. All evidence points to laptop makers using the newer memory technology across their products.

Arrowhead Studios just warned Helldivers 2 players about an Illuminate invasion heading toward Super Earth. The game update brings three fresh enemies to fight. Players will face Stingrays that attack from above, Crescent Overseers that hunt players seeking shelter, and Fleshmobs with many arms that lumber around as masses of organic matter.
Players can beat these threats with new weapon upgrades that unlock as weapons level up. These upgrades become available through Requisition after reaching certain levels with primary weapons. Gamers can change ammo capacity, add muzzles, or attach items under the barrel. New looks for weapons come with these upgrades as well.
The company plans to release new patterns for earlier Warbonds on May...
AMD plans to create new graphics chips under a fresh design called GFX13. This name appears in leaked code files shared online. Reports suggest AMD might change from RDNA to UDNA for the next architecture generation. The leaked information shows a feature named Wavegroup coming to these chips.
UDNA marks a big shift because AMD wants to use it in both standalone graphics cards and computer processors with built-in graphics. Current RDNA 4 chips only work in separate graphics cards. UDNA chips will likely use TSMC's N3E manufacturing process for better performance. Most upcoming Zen 6 computer chips might still use the older RDNA 3.5 graphics rather than UDNA.
AMD aims UDNA chips at high-end users who need powerful graphics. This helps...
EA Sports showed off new details about F1 25. Players need powerful computers to run the racing game at high settings. The base game needs a GTX 1060 or RX 570 card for basic play at 1080p resolution.

The game features music from artists like Jamie xx...
Gun Interactive will stop creating new content for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre after a patch comes out this month. The company shared this news on its website, saying it finished working on the horror game but plans to create other games soon. Players can still buy and play the game, which remains available in online stores.
The game will likely vanish someday when servers shut down because it needs an online connection to work. Gun Interactive feels proud of what they created with the game. They wrote that they wanted to create something special for the horror genre and introduce the famous film to newer players.
After the May update, players won't see any more DLC, balance changes, or bug fixes. The team plans to add peer-to-peer...
