Your Old PC May Not Cut It for Windows 11
Microsoft has started sending emails to Windows 10 users about support ending on October 14, 2025. They want users to run a simple test to see if their computers can handle Windows 11. The email explains two main paths forward. First, check if your current machine has the necessary hardware, like TPM 2.0 and an approved processor. Second, if your computer fails this test, Microsoft suggests you should consider buying a new PC. They say these changes will boost security and help systems meet newer technical requirements. The message also mentions you can recycle your old computer through local groups if it cannot be upgraded.

Game Workers Fight Layoffs and AI for a Fairer Industry
Game workers from America and Canada just teamed up to create the United Videogame Workers Union. They partnered with the Communications Workers of America because they want big changes across the industry. Recent years brought massive layoffs even though these same companies reported record money coming in. The UVW believes companies must value staff more than short-term cash grabs. Many creative professionals worry about losing jobs to computer-generated content, especially since that Sony test video leaked showing Aloy from Horizon completely run by artificial intelligence. Sony quickly told Ashley Burch, who voices Aloy, that they never planned to sell this technology or replace her work. Many players strongly rejected the idea...
Yeston RX 9070 XT adds a whiff of cool to your rig
Yeston recently launched Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics cards that add scents to your gaming experience. Called Sakura Atlantis and regular Sakura models, these AMD RDNA 4 cards contain special fragrance units. The Atlantis version releases what they call "ocean breeze" scents. The standard Sakura pushes out flower smells instead. Gamers Nexus tested these claims and compared the Atlantis scent to car fresheners, perfume testers, and just-washed clothes combined. They noted that everyone experiences smells differently despite fancy marketing descriptions. The clever design places smell cartridges near the cooling fan, which helps spread fragrances through your computer case. Replacing the scent requires complete disassembly of the card...
