Guinea finally decided its universities needed actual internet instead of just vibes and textbooks. The Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications, and the Digital Economy officially kicked off Univ Connect recently to overhaul digital infrastructure. Madam Rose Pola Pricemou introduced this plan to link seventeen higher education institutes via a secure broadband network. The National Agency for the Universal Service of Telecommunications and Digital handles implementation under government supervision. Thirteen locations are already hooked into national fiber-optic lines, while nine sit fully operational.
This rollout supposedly helps over 80,000 students and researchers access academic platforms without losing their minds. The phased...
MSI wants to save your graphics card from melting with these new power supplies. The brand displayed the MPG Ai1600TS and Ai1300TS units at CES, featuring GPU Safeguard+ technology. This system tracks current fluctuations continuously to stop connector issues on cards like the RTX 5090. Owners receive alerts via MSI Center pop-ups or hear an audio buzzer from the hardware itself. Mid-range options like the MAG A1200PLS and A1000PLS also carry these safety measures while delivering Titanium efficiency.

Digital Storm claims massive hardware fits inside tiny boxes without melting everything down. The boutique builder displayed the Vector and Aventum 5 desktops during CES. Executives argue that high-end components normally require huge cases, but these designs reduce the footprint.
The Vector utilizes a chassis measuring 473 x 335 x 99 millimeters. This layout places the graphics card at the top while the motherboard sits below. Buyers can configure the machine with an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell unit. Central processors span the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X or Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. The manufacturer insists this compact setup manages heat and noise effectively.
Enthusiasts might prefer the Aventum 5 for uncompromised speed. That larger rig...
Anime vampires return with more edge than a Hot Topic sale right at the month's end. Code Vein II hits PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on January 30, 2026, though a character creator demo drops on January 23. This trial version lets users transfer their custom protagonist into the main game. Bandai Namco released an eight-minute walkthrough showing off the Sunken Pylon zone alongside fresh combat mechanics.
Players can wield dual blades for speed or use a halberd for reach. A new system called Forma splits special skills into weapon, defensive, and bequeathed categories. These abilities consume Icor, which builds up during attacks. Users choose between summoning a partner to fight nearby or assimilation, which fuses that ally for stat...
Windows laptops might finally stop sucking thanks to this new silicon drop. Qualcomm showed off the Snapdragon X2 Plus at CES to challenge AMD Strix Point and Intel Lunar Lake. The San Diego manufacturer displayed 10-core and 6-core variants built on a 3nm process for Copilot+ PCs. These chips use 3rd-gen Oryon CPU cores alongside an enhanced Hexagon NPU, hitting 80 TOPS.
That neural unit supposedly beats competitors by massive margins in AI workloads. Internal testing shows a 35 percent single-core boost and 78 percent better NPU output compared to previous generations, while cutting power draw almost in half. Benchmarks put the 10-core model ahead of the Ryzen AI 7 350 regarding peak performance.
The hardware destroys the Core Ultra...
Gamers claim they hate AI but just bought twelve million copies of this shooter. ARC Raiders smashed past that sales figure over the weekend per Alinea Analytics data. Analyst Rhys Elliot posted that the extraction title also hit a daily active user record of 3.2 million players yesterday. People spent the last hours of winter break grinding instead of touching grass.
The project launched back in October 2025 and immediately pulled 200,000 concurrent users on Steam alone. Sales hit 2.5 million in week one and broke 4 million days later. Momentum never really stopped despite constant drama surrounding Embark Studios utilizing GenAI tools.
Google listed it as the most searched video game last year. Steam ranked the release among the top...
PC gamers finally get the Bloodborne remaster that Sony refuses to give them. A modder named fromsoftserve dropped a massive visual overhaul called Shadows of the Hunt for the ShadPS4 emulator. The creator uploaded this project to Nexus Mods explicitly to fight against boring industry graphics trends. This release transforms the emulated experience with dynamic shadows and parallax occlusion mapping.
Point lights now appear on elements that previously emitted zero glow. High-resolution skyboxes replace the muddy original backgrounds. The package includes alternate color grading to make the atmosphere feel more cosmic and weird.
The developer argued that modern studios obsess over realism until games lose their soul. FromSoftserve...
Your Intel MacBook Air is officially trash now, according to the mothership. Apple added the 2020 13-inch MacBook Air to the vintage pile recently. This specific laptop marked the final time an Intel processor sat inside that thin chassis before the M-series takeover. The designation hits products five years after distribution stops. Repairs currently depend entirely on whether parts exist at specific service locations.
Obsolete status kicks in after seven years and kills all hardware support permanently. That vintage tag basically screams at consumers to buy fresh hardware since fixes are no longer guaranteed.
The corporation also purged eight other devices back in December 2025. The original iPhone SE joined the graveyard alongside...
Another legendary dev just bailed on Square Enix right as remake rumors started rotting. Toshiyuki Itahana finally walked away from the studio after a three-decade run defining the visual style for the Final Fantasy series. The artist famous for designing characters in Final Fantasy IX confirmed his resignation became official late last year. He plans to operate as a freelance illustrator instead of remaining a company man. His farewell note expressed a sense of accomplishment after finishing tasks related to the recent twenty-fifth anniversary of that specific game. Itahana claimed readiness for fresh challenges while soliciting support from the community.
This exit worries the community since chatter regarding a Final Fantasy IX...
