Someone threw a shoe at Kenya's President William Ruto during his speech about living costs. Ruto blocked it with his arm without injury. He kept talking about fertilizer prices as the shoe hit him, making dust fly up from the ground. The incident happened at a rally in western Kenya, where people remain upset despite his recent policy changes.
The president faces anger across Kenya. He canceled tax increases earlier, but many citizens still feel unhappy. He even added opposition members to his cabinet to calm tensions. Police arrested three people after the shoe attack, according to Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen. This comes as part of ongoing protests about daily expenses. A similar event happened to US President George Bush in...
The son of Uganda leader Yoweri Museveni claims he keeps an opposition member in his home. Military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba posted pictures online of Eddie Mutwe shirtless after armed men grabbed Mutwe last weekend. Kainerugaba wrote that Mutwe sits in his basement right next to other threats against him. The police earlier denied having Mutwe, who works as a bodyguard for the main opposition leader Bobi Wine.
The Human Rights Commission ordered Kainerugaba to free Mutwe, who they say has been held against the law since April 26. Critics accuse President Museveni of pushing his son up through military ranks to take power later, despite his harmful remarks on social media. These statements once included threats to invade Kenya and...
Musician Gift Hombarume avoided prison after a court gave him a suspended sentence for a fatal accident. The performer known as Chillmaster must pay a $200 fine for driving without a license.

Intel added XeSS 2 support to more games as their upscaling tech reaches over 200 titles. XeSS first came out three years ago but keeps improving with version 2, which launched last March. The newer tech trails behind NVIDIA DLSS 4.0 but runs on 19 games already, with more coming soon. Intel wants its tech in major games like Assassin's Creed: Shadow, which arrives May 19.
Tests show that XeSS 2 doubles frame rates compared to running games at native resolution. An Arc B580 graphics card jumps from about 35 frames per second to over 80 frames with the tech turned on. Intel also showed how its XeLL feature cuts display lag in half for games like Marvel Rivals, AC Shadows, and F1 24. This makes games feel more responsive.

Qualcomm plans to show off its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chip this September. Leaks suggest the SM8850 chip will use TSMC's newest 3nm process and have a fresh Adreno 840 graphics unit. The chip might double the AI power compared to the Snapdragon X Elite.
The company keeps the same two fast cores with six regular cores, like the current model. Those main cores will run faster at 5.00GHz using newer Pegasus technology. These changes help the chip score about 41 percent higher on AnTuTu tests than the best current phones. The AI part looks strong with 100 TOPS of speed versus just 45 TOPS in the X Elite chip. Memory grew larger with 16MB of special cache and 32MB of L2 cache total.

Nintendo might listen to player chats on its next console. The company changed its rules before launching the Switch 2.

The Switch 2 arrives worldwide on June 5, except in a few countries. Reddit users first...
The AIDA64 app added support for the AMD Radeon RX 7300 graphics card, hinting that this unannounced GPU might still exist. This update appears in version 7.65.7415 of the hardware monitoring tool. The notes clearly mention NAVI 33 next to the card name. Leaker Komachi Ensaka shared details about this card last year.
AMD never officially released entry-level cards in its RX 7000 series, unlike the previous RX 6000 lineup, which had budget options. The company might plan to release this card for regular sale or just for computer makers to use in pre-built systems. This would be the first X300-class GPU in the RDNA family with expected specs of 640-896 stream processors.
The card should have 4 or 6 GB of memory with a 64 or 96-bit bus...
