Budiriro and Glen View drown as roads turn to mud
Residents are trapped by ruined roads as the city ignores the coming storms. People in Budiriro and Glen View suburbs face impassable routes after heavy rains, with deep potholes and mud blocking access. Motorists must drop off passengers far from their homes or use lengthy detours. One mother worries about children traveling to school, while another says the damage hurts local businesses by keeping customers away. The national weather service forecasts a cyclone season with above average rainfall. A climate pattern likely means continued wet conditions for several months. This threatens more flooding in these already vulnerable communities. Harare city officials have yet to respond to the crisis. A spokesperson stated he awaits a...

Imali Yegazi drags fake holy families into bloody crime
A new film exposes the dirty secrets behind a family's fake holy image. Actress Mongeni Bhebhe stars in Imali yegazi, a story about greed and betrayal.

Intel eyes Xe3P iGPU with rumored 25% bump over Xe3
Intel's next-gen graphics are already getting hype before the current chips cool off. Their new Panther Lake mobile processors are out, featuring Xe3 integrated graphics like the Arc B390 for high-end laptops. This sets a fresh baseline for their thin-and-light systems. The rumor mill is already churning about the follow-up, Nova Lake, and a graphics variant called Xe3P. Leaker Raichu claims Xe3P could be twenty to twenty-five percent faster than the standard Xe3 design. This performance bump lacks specific testing details but suggests a meaningful leap if it holds true under normal power and bandwidth limits. The same source hints that high-end Nova Lake chips with twelve-core graphics could push that gap even wider. These rumors...
Battlefield 6 season 2 waits while season 1 drags on
Battlefield Studios just hit the delay button on the next season. They extended the current season for both Battlefield 6 and Battlefield REDSEC, pushing back Season 2. The move gives developers more time to polish the next update based on player feedback. An extension update will roll out to keep things fresh until the new season arrives. This interim period introduces a whole extra progression layer called the Frostfire Bonus Path. It runs alongside the existing Season 1 Battle Pass tracks like Rogue Ops. Players can work on both at the same time without choosing one over the other. The Frostfire path has its own tier system with free and premium rewards. Unlocking each Frostfire tier costs ten Bonus Path Points, with a total of one...
be quiet! preps two new 1200W PSUs for GPU-heavy rigs
be quiet! is throwing two new 1200W PSUs into the ring, targeting serious gaming rigs and heavy workstation builds. The Power Zone 2 1200W and Pure Power 13 M 1200W both chase ATX 3.1 standards and PCIe 5.1, covering the crazy power needs of new graphics cards with the 12V-2x6 connectors. Both models use a steel chassis, fully modular cables, and promise a 10-year warranty, setting them up for systems that take a beating. Power Zone 2 1200W flexes higher efficiency, packing 80 PLUS Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum badges, and claims up to 94.3% peak efficiency. Cooling stays low-key thanks to a 140mm Pure Wings 3 fan that only spins up under load, then chills for a bit after, trying to cut down on start-stop noise. The internals use a...
Lenovo's Yoga Pro 27UD-10 targets creators with QD-OLED
Lenovo just dropped a creator monitor that wants to be a whole desk setup, not just a screen. The Yoga Pro 27UD-10 showed up on Lenovo’s Hong Kong store after the CES 2026 display wave, signaling it’s a real retail product meant to sit next to the high-end Yoga Pro laptop lineup. The pitch leans hard into creative work and clean desks, aiming at calibrated color, HDR, and fewer extra gadgets. The main flex is a 26.5-inch UHD QD-OLED panel pushing 3840 x 2160 at up to 120 Hz. Lenovo claims 1000 nits peak brightness and says it hits VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, leaning into strong contrast and deep blacks for HDR content. Color coverage is listed at 99% for sRGB and DCI-P3, and 96% for Adobe RGB. Lenovo also calls out factory tuning...
AMD's Medusa Point APU leaks with odd core mix
AMD Zen 6 laptop plans just leaked through customs paperwork, and nerds are spiraling. A report says AMD’s Medusa Point APU showed up on the NBD customs database, tagged as Medusa 1 with an A0 step marker, the kind of early chip used for bring-up work, not store shelves. The same line calls out 28W and an FP10 package, listed at 25 mm x 42.5 mm, a bit bigger than FP8. That size bump could be sloppy paperwork, yet it can also hint at a real platform shuffle, like different routing, a fresh pin layout, or changed power delivery tied to the new silicon. The spicy bit is the CPU layout field, 4C + 4D. Coverage reads that as four Zen 6 performance cores paired with four Zen 6 high-density cores. A rumor mentions two low-power cores...
