Minister calls for police probe into pit drownings
The Eastern Regional Minister, Mrs. Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, wants police to look into how two kids drowned in an uncovered mining hole.

Assassin's Creed Shadows now works on Steam Deck
Ubisoft changed its mind about Assassin's Creed Shadows running on Steam Deck. First, they told players the game would work through Valve's Proton system on the handheld device. Later, they doubted it would earn the official Verified badge before release day. Back in February 2025, Ubisoft posted on the Steam Community saying the Steam Deck hardware fell short of what the game needed for smooth play. But surprise! They just announced the game will launch fully Steam Deck Verified. The company also shared news about Steam Achievements coming right when the game was released. This differs from older Assassin's Creed titles, where achievements showed up much later. According to Ubisoft, their team spent lots of time making the game run...
Samsung might ditch 1.4nm plan over yield woes
According to insider @Jukanlosreve, Samsung might stop making its smallest 1.4-nanometer chips in 2027. The company already struggles to make current 3nm chips correctly. They even shut down some factories for 5nm and 7nm chips because not enough companies wanted them. This change would mess up their plans for future technology, which included automotive chips called SF2A and SF2Z alongside the tiny SF1.4 chips. The Korean company keeps losing ground to competitors. Korea Economic Daily shows Samsung only has 8.2% of the chip-making market compared to TSMC's massive 67.1% share. Samsung still works on Exynos 2600 chips using their SF2 process and keeps business with Japan's Preferred Networks. However, they failed to attract big...

DLSS 4 AI Makes Gaming Run Like Butter
NVIDIA just released a new research paper describing its latest AI graphics tech, DLSS 4. This system makes games run faster by adding extra frames between real ones. The coolest part? It creates three fake frames for each real one your computer renders. DLSS 4 picks the best-looking frames and sends them to your screen super fast, making everything appear smooth. The biggest change comes from switching to transformer AI models instead of older neural networks. These new models understand movement better and make ray-traced lighting look 30-50% prettier, according to NVIDIA tests. The RTX 5090 graphics card processes each AI frame in just 1 millisecond - way faster than the 3.25 milliseconds needed by the previous version. Gamers will...
