Intel sells two Arc Xe2 Battlemage graphics cards right now: the B580 with 12 GB memory and the B570 with 10 GB memory. Gamers like these cards because they cost less than other options on the market. Many people want Intel to make stronger cards like a B750 or B780, but the company stays quiet about its plans.
The shipping papers show something called BMG-G31 headed to a factory in Vietnam, where Intel made earlier cards. This hints that Intel might build new Limited Edition cards soon. The papers match past leaks about prototype models that could become B7XX series cards for gamers who need more power.
Another story claims Intel plans a Developer Edition card with 24 GB of memory based on the BMG-G21 chip. This card would help...
LG Display recently proved it can make blue phosphorescent OLED panels for everyday devices. The company worked with Universal Display Corporation to create this new screen technology, marking the first time anyone has made blue phosphorescent OLEDs ready for mass production.
Regular OLEDs use fluorescence, which wastes about 75 percent of energy. Phosphorescence saves all energy, but making blue light this way was difficult until LG solved the problem. Their new design uses two layers—one with blue fluorescence and one with blue phosphorescence—cutting power use by 15 percent without losing quality.
LG already has patents in South Korea and the United States for this technology. The company plans to show off these new screens at SID...
Respawn Entertainment announced that their Apex Legends Prodigy season starts May 6. The new season brings Sparrow, a character free for all players during the first two weeks. Players can keep him permanently by finishing special challenges that test their game skills. Sparrow, whose real name is Enea Davide Guarino, comes from a famous bounty hunter family known for archery and strict rules. He joins the Apex Games hoping to earn back his family's respect after they rejected him.
Sparrow has three main abilities players can use. His Double Jump lets players leap twice in the air and reach the top of walls faster. His Tracker Dart shows enemies moving through an area. His Stinger Bolt creates a damaging energy field, hitting multiple...
The government launched a new feed mix program for farm animals in the Midlands. Farmers mix molasses, urea, salt, and leftover crops to make food that keeps cattle alive during dry weather. Just one sack of urea makes enough feed for animals all year long, much cheaper than store-bought options. Officials teach farmers how to prepare this mixture with a 12% protein content, helping animals stay strong when grass runs out.
Midlands wants to increase its cattle population from 900,000 to over a million this year. The area lost some animals last season due to a lack of rain. Presidential water drilling projects help provide drinking water for these herds. Farm advisors say that with both water and food ready, farmers can raise more...
Zimbabwean workers marked May Day with sports events across the country. Bikita Minerals staff played marathon races, soccer, basketball, netball, darts, pool games, and aerobics together. The company sports day gave employees chances to meet each other and check their health with medical staff.
Workers' union rep Rodrick Tavarwisa said the day helps people see how much workers add to the economy. Mine manager David Mwanza said employee numbers jumped five times to 1360 since 2022, mostly local young people and women. The company thinks healthy workers make more money for everyone. Winners from each sport got prizes at the end of the games. The mining firm wants workers to talk through activities like sports.
VP Chiwenga traveled to Rome during a special Catholic celebration called the Year of Pilgrimage of Hope. He arrived at Ciampino Airport ready to meet Vatican leaders about this event, during which the doors of Saint Peter's Basilica open for visitors. The doors above Saint Peter's tomb used to open every hundred years but have now changed to open every twenty-five years for worldwide gatherings of believers.
Chiwenga plans to visit the Franciscan headquarters because they educated him as a child. Many Zimbabweans learned at Catholic schools through their charity work across the country. He attended Pope Francis' funeral earlier on April 26 before making this trip. Catholic groups run many schools and medical centers, helping about 1.4...
An elephant wrecked an old woman's kitchen hut in Hwange at night as she slept. Gogo Ndlovu from Chidobe learned about the damage when a neighbor told her the next morning. The animal left a path of destruction through her yard without anyone hearing it happen.
Elephants have been roaming near Victoria Falls and Hwange areas more often lately. That same night, a car hit another elephant nearby. Headman Skinner Ndlovu says these events shake the community badly. Local officials want help controlling the animals, which stop people from doing normal daily tasks.
Zimbabwe has about 85,000 elephants, but can only support 45,000. This happens because trade bans prevent the properly management of wildlife numbers. Campfire Manager Ncube...
Air Force leaders held a funeral parade for their first female Air Vice Marshal at Manyame Base on Tuesday. Winnie Mandeya broke many barriers during her career as the first woman in several key air force jobs. She left school at 15 to join freedom fighters and survived the Nyadzonya attacks before helping build barracks along the river.
ZDF Commander General Sibanda praised her courage for fighting gender stereotypes when she joined the liberation forces before reaching adulthood. Her brother called her a family connector whose absence created a gap hard to fill. After military training in Tanzania in 1976, she worked in medical teams in Gaza Province, Mozambique.
She returned to Zimbabwe among the final group of patients after...
South African jail inmates won the right to use laptops in cells for schoolwork. The top court ruled that stopping prisoners from having computers hurts their education rights. Judges said good learning needs proper tools like books and digital devices. The court found that a 2007 rule against cell laptops was against the law.
Prison officials must change their rules within a year. Until then, any inmate taking classes can keep a computer, but guards may check it at any time. The machines must not have internet access. The case started new talks about helping prisoners learn skills. Rights groups like the decision because it helps inmates prepare for life after jail.
