MSI's new monitors finally fix QD-OLED's annoying purple glow. The company just announced two 32-inch 4K gaming screens, the MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 and the MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24, featuring a new panel with DarkArmor Film and Uniform Luminance tech to tackle common complaints. These updates use a third-generation five-layer Tandem OLED architecture for better efficiency and lifespan, while keeping a 240Hz refresh rate and DP 2.1 support.
The DarkArmor Film is a big deal, cutting down the purple or red tint you see on these panels in a lit room and boosting pure black levels by like forty percent. It also makes the screen harder, offering better scratch resistance. The other key feature, Uniform Luminance, lets you tweak the HDR...
Those audio nerds from INA GRM just dropped a wild new sound design toy. The French research group, originally started decades ago to mess with tape music, has used its decades of digital effects experience to launch GRM Tools Atelier, a software instrument for macOS that works like a modular synth. Priced at 249 euros, it features eight generations and processing modules, like a weird sampler and a comb filter bank, which users can chain into complex patches. A key selling point is its polyadic modulation engine, letting you drag virtual cables for wildly versatile control, and it supports multi-channel audio for surround sound design from the start. A Windows version is planned for early 2026.
This thing is built for experimentation...
Student union reps met with Tarique Rahman to talk about the July Revolution's future. Leaders from Dhaka University Central Students Union visited the BNP acting chairman's Gulshan office, first signing a condolence book for the late Khaleda Zia. After the meeting, DUCSU Vice President Abu Shadik Kayem told reporters they discussed student involvement in politics and the broader democratic movement.
Kayem said Rahman pushed for unity among all political and student groups, naming BNP, Jamaat, NCP, Chhatra Dal, and Chhatra Shibir, to rebuild the country. The conversation emphasized anti-fascist cooperation, restoring state institutions weakened over sixteen years, and implementing the so-called July Charter. They also demanded arrests...
Tarique Rahman thanked a bunch of groups for handling his mom's funeral. The BNP acting chairman posted online that he was grateful to the army, navy, and air force personnel for their dignified and kind conduct during the services for former prime minister Khaleda Zia. He also thanked various security forces like the police, BGB, and RAB for managing the large, peaceful crowds so people could mourn safely.
His message included appreciation for intelligence agencies like DGFI and NSI, plus several government ministries, for their behind-the-scenes coordination. He noted the foreign ministry helped international dignitaries pay their respects and thanked both local and global media for covering the event accurately under tough...
Khaleda Zia's tomb is now open for public visits. The mausoleum for the former prime minister and BNP leader at Zia Udyan in Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area opened around noon, with crowds of party supporters and citizens gathering since morning to pay their respects. Many had waited behind barriers near the Bijoy Sarani intersection while the park underwent renovations, some praying from the roadside.
Authorities have reopened the entire park, deploying police and other security personnel to manage the area. Zia, who died early Tuesday at Evercare Hospital, was buried with state honors on Wednesday next to her husband, former president Ziaur Rahman.
The NCP keeps losing leaders over its Jamaat alliance. Two more central committee officials, Joint Chief Coordinator Khan Md Morsalin and Joint Member Secretary Musfiq Us Salehin, quit all their posts within the youth-led party. Morsalin stated the party failed to unite the various protest groups from the uprising, like laborers and students, leaving it too weak to rebuild state institutions without partnering with an established old party.
Musfiq Us Salehin directly pointed to the electoral partnership with Jamaat-e-Islami as his reason for resigning. He argued the alliance might offer short-term election gains but would ultimately prevent the NCP from growing into a strong, centrist political force focused on Bangladesh's interests...
Bashundhara Paper Mills just held its annual meeting online with no dividend for shareholders. The virtual AGM, chaired by adviser A R Rashidi and attended by directors like Captain Md Mahbubul Alam and CEO Md Mustafizur Rahman, approved the annual financial statements and appointed auditors for the next fiscal year. Rashidi outlined a tough year where company revenue dropped over fifty percent due to inflation, foreign currency issues, and high material costs, leading to increased losses despite some export earnings and tax payments.
He noted the broader paper industry in Bangladesh has grown, with demand shifting from writing paper to packaging and tissue grades, but argued for government support like reduced taxes and import...
Another Hindu man in Bangladesh was set on fire by a mob. Khokon Chandra Das, a fifty-year-old shopkeeper, was attacked near Keurbhanga Bazar in Shariatpur district, hacked with sharp weapons, before assailants doused him in petrol and ignited him. He escaped by jumping into a pond and was later rushed to a hospital in Dhaka for critical care due to serious stomach wounds and burns.
Police confirmed the incident, naming two local suspects, Rabbi and Sohag, and stating an investigation is active. The victim's wife, Seema Das, expressed confusion over the motive, saying they had no known disputes. This brutality follows a pattern of recent violence against minority community members, including the killings of Bajendra Biswas, Amrit...
Fighting with Afghanistan is making Pakistan's militant problem way worse. Border clashes have sparked a major spike in suicide bombings and attacks on security forces inside the country, with a report noting over three thousand deaths in recent months, a twenty-five percent jump from last year. The Islamabad government blames Taliban-backed groups like the TTP for the violence, a claim Kabul denies while accusing Pakistan of using the Islamic State to destabilize them.
Experts warn this conflict is bleeding Pakistan dry, forcing increased military spending while the economy tanks under high inflation and a struggling currency. A former diplomat named Javid Husain cautioned against any prolonged ground operation in Afghanistan, citing...
