За Pierre Computer стоят разработчики фреймворка Bootstrap Джейкоб Торнтон и Марк Отто, бывший инженер Twitter и Coinbase Иэн Оунби и бывший вице-президент разработки в Medium Джон Кросби — помимо прочих.

Изменения затронут 1271 сотрудника — это 22% штата. Уволены при этом будут не все.

Темпы роста аудитории тоже не оправдывают ожиданий аналитиков.

И рассчитывают успеть до конца ноября 2026 года.

Собираем новости, события и мнения о рынках, банках и реакциях компаний.

Товары из загоревшегося комплекса скроют с витрины.

Некоторые хранили в банке почти все сбережения из-за лояльности к россиянам. Для тех, у кого заморозили единственный зарплатный счёт, открывают сбор помощи в Белграде и Нови-Саде.

ФБР возложило ответственность за атаку на северокорейских хакеров.

Действующие способы подачи заявлений — на сайте или в офисе оператора — продолжают работать.

Пока подключить её можно только в Москве, использовать — во всех регионах присутствия сервиса.

В облачной инфраструктуре все данные утрачены, остались только файловые резервные копии VPS.

У неё пятидюймовый сенсорный экран, алюминиевое кольцо для управления громкостью и восемь динамиков общей мощностью в 75 Вт.

Помимо сокращения штата планируют урезать и другие траты.

В этой статье я расскажу, что с ним произошло за эти три года и как я его модифицировал.

Первое, что я сделал, — арендовал у провайдера белый статический v4 адрес.

Оглядываясь назад, понимаю, что стоило потратить чуть больше денег и купить что-то управляемое и с большим количеством портов.

Тут мне заломили очень большую ценуПрошли сутки, и я забрал свою стойку и приступил к сборке.

Надеюсь, что спустя ещё несколько лет я напишу статью с названием «От Minisforum до серверной стойки за 200 000 рублей.

Но вставил получившуюся строку в Edge… И… чудо действительно случилось: кошелёк её принял и показал под полем адрес cosmos1… .

Мой тест в Edge: строка с -ibc.x подставляет адрес CosmosМоя проверка в Edge.

Схема: как доменное имя выдают за обменникЕсли подтвердить последний шаг, уйдёт обычный перевод ATOM на чужой Cosmos-адрес.

Мой sansmaster.x в Edge подставляет мой адрес для ATOMВсё тот же Edge, только теперь sansmaster.x подставляет мой адрес ATOM.

Он меня проклял и сообщил, что для таких, как я, в аду есть отдельный чан ))Но всё равно ему спасибо.

Может, хватило бы обычного настольного компьютера 1996 года с более умным движком?

На моём Pentium Pro сборка Crafty 11.13 образца 1996 года играет с рейтингом 1999 ± 90 при секунде на ход и 2383 ± 77 при десяти секундах на ход.

Когда я его провожу, современный движок на Pentium Pro 1996 года играет против Crafty 1996 года, запущенного на современном железе, и набирает 78 побед, 17 ничьих и 5 поражений.

(Везде в этой статье, где я говорю «я написал», на самом деле имеется в виду «я попросил написать языковую модель».

Но если вы вдруг знаете супергроссмейстера с рейтингом 2700+, который хотел бы попробовать обыграть движок 2026 года на железе 1996-го, — я с радостью приму вызов!

Она пригодится тем, кто покупает на Taobao, Tmall и 1688, и тем, кто собирается в Китай: там через Alipay можно оплатить метро и транспорт, билеты, отели и многое другое.

Это не финансовая и не юридическая рекомендация.

Для моих задач хватает DeepSeek — я применяю его API для кодинга и своих хотелок.

Однажды вечером увидел shorts в Instagram и решил сделать аккаунт в Alipay, чтобы платить самому.

Оплата DeepSeek APIИдём на DeepSeek Platform, выбираем нужную сумму и нажимаем:CNY → Alipay → Next step.

Гибридные уши (STT) — связка Vosk (как быстрый детектор речи и прерываний) и Faster-whisper (для точной финальной транскрибации).

А в идеале все это собирается в один .exe (через PyInstaller), где пользователю достаточно запустить один файл.

Docker — это круто для облачных кластеров, но для локального десктопного AI-ассистента он стал бы лишним слоем абстракции и барьером для аудитории.

Поднимите srv_llm и работайте с ним как с обычным API.

Как подключить (пример для pyproject.toml ): "infrastructure2 @ git+https://github.com/Mike2024New/infrastructure2.git" Важное примечание: репозиторий пока слабо документирован (это в разработке), но код рабочий и используется в моих проектах.

Ничего нового я не придумал, но мне хочется показать вам мой набор базовых стилей, которые я использую для всех проектов.

Давайте посмотрим, что я вам подготовил.

Конечно, это не все отличия, но они являются основными.

Значение balance для свойства text-wrapНесколько лет назад в большинстве браузеров стало работать значение balance для свойства text-wrap .

И главное, что это всё сделал сам браузер.

Как эта фигня вообще работаетОбычный сервер, как и ваш десктоп, охлаждается воздухом.

Сама установка имеет габариты: чуть больше двух метров в длину, порядка метра в ширину, и в высоту она у нас где-то сантиметров 80.

Иммерсионка — это билет в один конец для железаПогружение оборудования в иммерсионную ванну — это билет в один конец.

И это в Москве!

Ещё бонусыВ ванне практически нет вибраций, потому что жидкость не кипит, не булькает и не идёт рывками.

В легковесных alpine‑образах этой дыры не было, а вот в сборках на базе debian в своё время поломали тысячи серверов.

И главное: при перезапуске контейнеров или самого демона Docker не трогает и не затирает то, что вы написали внутри DOCKER-USER .

А это значит, что весь входящий трафик к нему идёт не в транзитный FORWARD , а в стандартный INPUT — то есть попадает напрямую под действие обычных правил UFW.

Что поменялось в Docker 29+ с приходом нативного nftablesДолгое время Docker даже на свежих дистрибутивах управлял сетью через легаси‑прослойку iptables-nft .

До таблиц PREROUTING и DOCKER внутри гостевой ОС этот трафик физически не долетает, что бы там демон Докера ни накрутил в iptables .

Мы задержали очередь на час с лишним, пока агент пытался связаться с представителем United по телефону.

Я ответила, что у меня есть чек на $85, которые я заплатила United Airlines за билет на перевозку ребёнка на руках.

Отраслевой стандарт создаёт определённые риски при реализации, однако программное обеспечение United в этой ситуации почему‑то оказывается не на высоте.

И я получила большое удовольствие от попыток «реверс‑инжиниринга» дефекта ПО исключительно по публично доступным материалам.

Примечание: я разработчик ПО, но никогда не работала в авиакомпании и в авиационной отрасли в целом.

17 октября прошла наша большая открытая встреча сообщества в Нижнем Новгороде, доклады с которой уже выложены в посте ниже.

С меня как всегда статья без нейрослопа и ИИ, с вас как всегда интересные комментарии и лайки!

Почему для многих задач полностью локальные агенты это будущее, как Microsoft, Apple и hardware‑производители идут в сторону локального инференса, и как это использовать разработчику.

Вот и сейчас: ускорили большую часть кейсов в x1.6 и в x1.3 раза в самых горячих местах.

Буду рад видеть вас частью нашего опенсорс сообщества:‑)До встречи в следующем дайджесте и в нашем сообществе!

На Хабре уже есть статья о том, как работать с SD-картами в DMA режиме на микроконтроллерах STM32, поэтому я думал, что на STM32H7 будет также просто это реализовать.

Решение проблемы с DMAНужно найти способ, как разместить буферы, которые используются DMA в другом домене.

; } > RAM__attribute__((section(".dma_buffer"))) FATFS fs; __attribute__((section(".dma_buffer"))) FIL file; // File objectНе забываем пересобрать проект, после того как внесли изменение в .ld файл.

ЗаключениеИспользовать DMA для работы с SD-картой на STM32H7 сложнее, чем на микроконтроллерах более простых серий.

Чтобы заставить DMA работать с SD-картой, мне пришлось:разбираться, как работает компоновщик,где находятся и ч…

Мелкие ежемесячные пожертвования, по словам самого фонда, и в 2023, и в 2024 году медленно падали.

Разница не в качестве языков: Mojo продают как инфраструктуру для ai‑железа, а не как язык для людей.

Это как попросить переводчика, выучившего английский по миллиону книг, перевести на язык, по которому он видел одну брошюру.

Если новый язык и взлетит, то по одному из двух сценариев: язык под конкретное железо или язык платформы, под который её владелец сам дообучит модель.

Весь WordPress написан на PHP, а на нём всё ещё около 40% всех сайтов.

7 сентября 2022 годаТакая высокая стоимость обусловлена исключительной сложностью оборудования для производства микросхем.

Эти проводники соединяются друг с другом и с полупроводниковыми компонентами через отверстия в слоях (vias).

Если сравнить, то сложные механические часы начала 20 века состоят из 150 деталей, для производства которых требовалось более 3700 операций, тоже немало.

И на каждом этапе требуются сложные машины, которые производятся небольшой группой специализированных компаний, таких как ASML, Lam Research, Applied Materials и Tokyo Electron, и они стоят очень дорого.

Поэтому главное условие для современной фабрики — договориться с ASML на поставки оборудования для EUV.

Когда мы ставим рядом советский сушуар и современный маленький фен, мы сравниваем не только разные эпохи, но и разные инструменты.

Дело было вовсе не в том, что в министерстве ещё не слышали про рукоятку и сопло.

Причём расположен двигатель не в широкой голове прибора, как у большинства привычных фенов, а в рукоятке.

Это не делает воздух холодным и не отменяет опасности пересушивания волос, зато позволяет уменьшить температурные колебания при изменении условий работы.

И именно в этих 30 годах разницы поколений, а не в форме пластмассового чемоданчика, вся история.

И это нормально.

Stack Overflow каждый год спрашивает разработчиков, счастливы ли они на работе, и в 2025 “да” сказали только 24,5%.

Вспомните таску, которую вы сделали во вторник, а в джире она висела до пятницы.

Обычную работу будут оплачивать как обычную работуТо есть люди, которые бежали в айти, чтобы не просить прибавку, не ездить в офис и не отпрашиваться пожить в другой стране, придут ровно туда, откуда бежали, только в вакансии будет написано Senior Developer.

Как и в прошлом году, нормальных ответов ни у кого нет, поэтому мы своей тг тусовочкой снова собрали конфу.

Такие данные приводит The Wall Street Journal, сравнивая закупочные цены на комплектующие и розничные на модели.

Но год назад было хуже: если сейчас память для потребителя стоит в три раза больше закупочной цены, то в прошлом году разница была в 8−12 раз.

За апгрейд до 1 ТБ в iPhone 17 Pro покупателю приходилось доплачивать $400, а Apple этот терабайт обходился в $42.

Правда, если переводить в деньги, то логика ломается, и Apple в этом году вполне себе жадничает: в 2025 году на апгрейдах компания зарабатывала $358, а в этом — уже $408.

Закупочные цены на память летят вверх, но сидящие в купертиновском «бублике» люди всё ещё очень любят деньги.

Компания вошла во вкус и выпустила уже третье поколение умных колец в дизайне своих самых узнаваемых часов — CRW-002.

От оригинальных часов 1995 года они унаследовали дизайн и подсветочку.

Кольцо защищено от попадания случайных брызг, но работает от батарейки: через пару лет его всё равно придётся вскрывать, чтобы заменить элемент питания.

В отличие от предыдущей модели CRW-H001M-8, третье поколение лишилось шагомера и датчика пульса.

За серебристую версию просят $135, за золотую — $155, или примерно 11 000 и 12 700 рублей по текущему курсу.

Великий и ужасный рептилоид будет собираться из 5363 деталей, а габариты готовой модели составят 70 × 27 × 40 см.

Примечательно, что идея проекта взята с сайта LEGO Ideas, где фанаты буквально собирают свою фантазию по кусочкам.

Годзилла смог пройти вступительный этап, набрав 10 000 лайков от участников портала, а потом прошёл внутреннее одобрение от экспертов LEGO.

Жаль, что эти эксперты редко берут что-то по-настоящему оригинальное.

Годзилла появится в продаже уже после первого снега — 27 ноября.

На фоне финансовых трудностей компания готовится провести масштабную реструктуризацию и выделить Nubia в самостоятельную организацию, доля в которой будет продана новым владельцам, — сообщает Gizmochina.

Обсуждаемая сумма сделки уже достигла 40 млрд юаней, или примерно $5,98 млрд по текущему курсу.

По данным портала, новое юрлицо получит полный контроль над смартфонами Nubia, включая право продавать их как на территории Китая, так и на глобальных рынках.

При этом игровой бренд REDMAGIC останется в интеллектуальной собственности ZTE.

Пока что ZTE рассчитывает сохранить долю в новой компании, но детали сделки ещё не финализированы.

Создатели этой игровой консоли сделали прозрачным всё, что смогли: корпус, кнопки, печатную плату и даже экран!

Да, физика ещё не позволяет сделать прозрачную батарею, шлейф, провода и чипы, но даже в таком виде Arduview выглядит как какой-то смешной тетрис из киоска «Роспечать» в нулевых.

Железо примитивное: 1,51-дюймовый дисплей с разрешением 128 x 64 пикселей, 16 МБ памяти да 8-битный чип ATmega32U4.

Поиграть можно в 300 opensource-игр, некоторые из них даже копируют известные ретроигры вроде Castelvania.

Авторы уже собрали деньги на Kickstarter, продавая будущую консоль за $75.

Казалось бы, искусственный интеллект должен сократить время, которые мы тратим на работу, но исследование ActivTrak показало, что всё наоборот.

Авторы замерили активность девяти тысяч сотрудников из 467 компаний и выяснили, что без ИИ люди работают в среднем 7,6 часа в сутки, а с ИИ — от 8,4 до 9,1 часа.

Кроме того, у последних было хуже с концентрацией над задачами из-за постоянного переключения между приложениями.

Правда, есть шанс, что зависимость тут как раз обратная: не из-за ИИ люди работают больше, а те, кто много работает, чаще склонны использовать нейронки.

Да и исследование провела компания, которая разрабатывает решения для повышения продуктивности.

Самый народный iPhone получит новый 2-нм чип A20, чуть улучшенную батарейку и новую цену, — пишет китайский инсайдер Digital Chat Station на Weibo.

По его данным, компания сохранит ProMotion-дисплей на 120 Гц, а вот новый крохотулечный динамический островок останется фишкой Pro-моделей.

Камеры тоже не поменяются: нас ждут ширик и ультраширик с матрицами по 48 Мп.

Насколько именно вырастет цена, инсайдер не раскрывает, да и точную стоимость прогнозировать пока рано.

Как ожидается, Apple представит базовый iPhone 18 весной, вместе с iPhone Air второго поколения и iPhone 18e.

Минтранс оформил финальную версию приказа, который в том числе запретит курьерам на СИМ выезжать на тротуары, — сообщил «КоммерсантЪ».

Поправки введут в ближайшее время.

Ведомство хочет закрепить статус электровелосипедов и электросамокатов с мощностью мотора от 250 Вт до 4 кВт «механического транспортного средства».

Соответственно, и требования к ним будут как к мопедам.

Помимо этого, рассматривается федеральный запрет езды вдвоём на СИМ, установление порядка парковки (с созданием специально отведённых для этого мест), а также введение ответственности и обязанностей, налагаемых на автомобилистов (остановка по требованию полиции, запрет езды в состоянии опьянения, оставление места ДТП и т.д.

Главный редактор портала Android Headlines Александр Максхэм напечатал на 3D-принтере дубликат грядущего Galaxy S27 Ultra по утёкшим в сеть CAD-рендерам и сравнил его с Galaxy S26 Ultra и iPhone 18 Pro.

Габариты «Ультры» почти не поменяются: 163,76 × 78,25 × 8 мм, но под новеньким айфонизированным блоком камер наконец-то хватит места для MagSafe-аксессуаров всех сортов, которые раньше закрывали собой телевик.

В откровенно спорном дизайне блока камер Максхэм тоже нашёл пару плюсов: во-первых, новый Galaxy можно будет с первого взгляда отличить от прошлогоднего S26 Ultra.

Во-вторых, болванка практически не трясётся на столе.

Как ожидается, компания представит «Ультру» уже через три месяца, в …

Компания начала рассылать предложение о продаже консоли через фирменное приложение PS App.

Первыми это заметили юзеры форума ResetEra.

Пока нововведение коснулось лишь пользователей из США, которые давно не запускали свою «Плойку».

Вот до чего довёл кризис памяти: одни пытаются по дешёвке выкупить у людей железки, а другие вообще считают, что иметь оперативку в своём ПК — преступление.

Да, да, Сэм А., мы про тебя.

В рамках Android Dev Summit 2026 компания анонсировала SDK Quick Share, который позволит сторонним разрабам адаптировать функцию передачи данных между Android и iOS в своём приложении.

Сейчас для отправки файлов с Android на iOS необходимо войти в полноэкранный интерфейс Quick Share и уже только тогда выбрать получателя.

Помимо этого, обновлённая версия протокола будет поддерживать локальное шифрование, а также передачу медиафайлов без сжатия.

Набор инструментов для разработчиков выпустят в начале 2027 года.

Новинка получила 5-дюймовый сенсорный дисплей и восемь динамиков общей мощностью 75 Вт, сертифицированные как Dolby Digital Plus.

Это больше, чем у «Станции Макс» и «Станции Дуо Макс», — сообщает пресс-служба «Яндекса».

Девайс можно использовать как умную колонку, а можно подключить к телевизору по HDMI и получить хаб для умного дома на YaOS X, подрабатывающий на полставки саундбаром.

С другими устройствами умного дома хаб должен подружиться через Zigbee 3.0 и Matter over Wi-Fi.

На верхней крышке предусмотрено физическое колечко для регулировки громкости, но при желании на него можно забиндить перемотку треков и крутить кольцо туда-сюда, как диджей.

В РЖД планируют проверить, насколько качественно биобот сможет контролировать ремонт поездов «Ласточка».

Как отметили в РЖД, благодаря этому «пёс» может ориентироваться в пространстве и преодолевать препятствия.

На первом этапе испытаний в организации хотят проверить, насколько эффективно робопёс способен контролировать качество ремонта поездов «Ласточка».

В перспективе его также могут использовать для проверки ремонта локомотивов и грузовых вагонов, а также диагностики состояния железнодорожной инфраструктуры.

Однако ролик снят в постановочных условиях и не подтверждает, что робот способен самостоятельно распознавать реальные угрозы и защищать человека.

OpenAI намерена продвигать новое название для своих дата-центров — compute campuses («вычислительные кампусы»), сообщает Business Insider.

«Вычислительные кампусы» должны продемонстрировать, что приносят пользу не только бизнесуВ OpenAI считают, что термин «вычислительные кампусы» точнее отражает масштаб современных дата-центров.

OpenAI планирует привлекать местных жителей к обсуждению проектов, создавать рабочие места и инвестировать в развитие региональной инфраструктуры.

Согласно исследованию Pew Research Center, 54% американцев считают, что дата-центры вредят окружающей среде.

По данным Business Insider, в ответ на недовольство местных жителей компании обещали направлять миллионы доллар…

Nvidia потребовала от своих клиентов — облачных провайдеров, предоставляющих вычислительные мощности на её ИИ-чипах — сократить работу с китайскими компаниями, пишет Financial Times.

Условия касаются будущих договоров и не затрагивают уже заключённые соглашения об аренде мощностей.

Сама компания в комментарии зарубежным СМИ не подтвердила и не опровергла сведения об ограничениях.

Однако найти за пределами США клиентов не из Китая будет трудно, предупредил FT один из сингапурских провайдеров.

В США объясняли эти меры риском использования технологий в военных целях.

Сборки сформированы для ПК, ноутбуков, телеприставок и игровых консолей, таких как Steam Deck, Asus Ally, GPD, Ayn и MSI Claw.

Голосование национальных комитетов ISO (NB, National Bodies) завершилось отказом утверждения международного стандарта C++26, финальный вариант спецификации для которого был принят в марте.

Это первый подобный случай в истории развития основного стандарта C++.

Представители нескольких национальных комитетов посчитали данную функциональность недостаточно зрелой, несмотря на то, что при утверждении рабочей группой WG21 за неё проголосовали более 2/3 участников.

Следующее заседание рабочей группы намечено на 16 ноября и пока не ясно смогут ли участники договориться в ситуации пошатнувшегося доверия.

Для дальнейшего продвижения спецификации C++26 или её отмены требуется достижение консенсуса, но…

Several staffers at the White House are using computers or mobile devices equipped with residential proxy services that render their internet address available for others to rent, security experts warned today.

There are dozens of residential proxy providers with varying degrees of legitimacy, many of them based in China or Russia.

From a website’s perspective, the traffic from a proxy network user appears to originate from the rented IP address, not from the proxy service customer.

The software persists today, now known as Clickteam Fusion 2.5, and includes almost full backwards compatibility with Klik n Play and The Games Factory games.

An overview of The Games Factory by GouldFish On Games.

before figuring out how to use The Games Factory to make games, I used its Animation editor to create flipbook-esque animations.

to my mind, making games was a highly technical thing that only large teams of grown-ups could accomplish, so The Games Factory was a reality-bending discovery.

and i did!by late 2001 i had a personal website up with downloads of my Games Factory games and graphics libraries.i was a regular in the #K&P IRC (basically old Discord) channel.

Columns of text reflow a lot when the window changes size, so this is a good place to try a resize launch.

Each line of text is its own floor.

Walkers can drop from line to line, fall off the end of a short line, and land on whatever is below.

Lines sit closer together than a walker is tall, so text never blocks them.

Near the bottom of the page there is one long floor to catch anything that falls all the way down.

You’ll need nerves of steel to work with AI agentsThis post will focus mainly on Composer 2.5 in Cursor.

To make changes to one service, the agent has to read dozens of files in other services and several skills.

If the $20 plan runs out after reading 20 files, will the $100 plan run out after reading 100 files?

Sometimes I spend a lot of time reviewing the code and ask it to change just one function.

But at some random point, it stops following it and adds fixtures directly into the test code.

"Successful people create companies.

More successful people create countries.

The most successful people create religions."

It got me thinking, though--the most successful founders do not set out to create companies.

In general, the big companies don't come from pivots, and I think this is most of the reason why.

Today’s post is a late and brief reaction to a tiny subplot of yesterday’s historic election: the widespread rejection of AI datacenters.

Poll results from this last summer showed people would rather have a coal plant in their backyard than a datacenter.

Certainly, it doesn’t help that the industry has been selling itself as coming for everyone’s jobs.

It doesn’t help that the big AI companies have been caught committing felonious cybercrimes all summer.

It also doesn’t help that the leaders of these companies have been quite visibly embracing the Trump administration.

Everything is an AI scam nowWhenever you watch a video on YouTube now, you will likely get an advert for a scammy product.

For years, the AI industry’s insatiable demand for memory and storage has had plenty of knock-on effects on the price and availability of PC components like RAM, SSDs, and GPUs.

Now those shortages are also squeezing the supply of ROM chips that power physical Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 game cartridges.

Chip manufacturer Macronix announced in its third-quarter earnings report that the company’s production of ROM chips “has reached its end” and that it will begin “gradually decoupling from the game industry,” as reported by Taiwanese news site BigGo Finance.

That could be an issue for Nintendo, which analyst David Gibson notes uses Macronix as its “main memory chip maker” for physical game…

Hackers possibly linked to the Kremlin exploited previously patched iOS and Android flaws in an attempt to hack visitors of multiple websites, including one celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the US Constitution, researchers said Wednesday.

The attacks began when iPhone or Android users visited one of potentially hundreds of different sites.

During World War II, physicists on the Manhattan Project worried that the Nazi German nuclear program might achieve the first nuclear bomb before the US and its allies.

Werner Heisenberg, who led that effort, claimed that they were close and had only needed a little more uranium.

He instantly recognized it as one of the uranium cubes used by German scientists in their unsuccessful attempt to build a working nuclear reactor.

For instance, the Smithsonian Institute had a German uranium cube in storage.

They tracked a third cube to Harvard University, where it was regularly passed around to students in introductory physics classes as a curiosity.

Donald Trump’s big, rapid American AI buildout now faces a major slowdown as voters in yesterday’s elections overwhelmingly supported candidates and measures that favored increasing restrictions on AI and data centers nationwide.

Analysts suggested those won’t impact data centers already under construction or approved through 2027, instead largely impacting future projects planned for 2028.

Only one measure passed allowing a data center to proceed.

In addition to increasing regulations on data centers, voters also backed anti-AI candidates, electing officials vowing crackdowns in key states building out the most data center capacity in the US.

Following his public disputes with California authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic, Elon Musk personally moved to Texas, outside of Austin, in 2020.

In 2021, Musk increasingly focused the Starship program in South Texas, urging SpaceX employees to move there and work on the company’s future.

In July 2024, he announced that SpaceX would relocate its corporate headquarters from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.

Everything is bigger in Texas, of course, and for a time, so was the bromance between Musk and Texas politicians.

He has repeatedly said he loves Texas’ political climate, its regulatory environment, and the state’s Republican leaders.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is aiming to widen the Republican majority on the Federal Communications Commission before Democrats take over control of the Senate in January 2027.

Just before the Republicans’ midterm loss, Cruz yesterday announced a November 10 nomination hearing for Trump’s FCC nominee, Danielle Thumann Severs.

In his final two months as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, Cruz seems set on moving the Thumann Severs nomination to a full vote of the Senate.

Confirming Thumann Severs would give Republicans an unusual 3-1 advantage on the FCC.

The hackers who stole billions of dollars in cryptocurrency from the Binance exchange spent months working on the theft and used both social engineering and novel malware in the process, the company said Tuesday.

The heist, which both the FBI and the TRM Security firm attributed to North Korean actors, initially targeted $6.34 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance wallets.

Binance said it has set aside funds required to cover the loss and provided this link to a Proof of Reserves page.

The $6.34 billion represents the biggest sum ever targeted in a cryptocurrency theft.

Like just about every organization that suffers a public, high-consequence hack, Binance said the threat actor was sophis…

If my 45-minute drive yesterday morning is anything to go by, I think Slate Auto will have quite the hit on its hands.

The prototype truck had been well-used, with almost 6,000 miles (9,656 km) showing on the small and minimalist but very legible digital display that also shows your speed and, if you engage reverse, the backup camera.

Getting acquainted with the Slate was refreshingly easy.

The seat and steering column adjust manually but with plenty of reach, something many budget models used to leave out to save on cost.

The key fob slots into the dash to turn it on, and there’s a column shifter to select from drive, neutral, park, and reverse.

That’s a big deal, because respiratory depression is typically what causes people using opioids to stop breathing and die.

Bohn, senior associate vice president of research at University of South Florida Health, says her team filed a patent on SR-17018.

On Reddit and Discord, people who use drugs frequently refer to the compound as a godsend that’s helped them quit using opioids they’re addicted to.

Until very recently, the drug, though not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration, was relatively easy to purchase online, as it was not a federally controlled substance.

Bohn, meanwhile, has been in the process of trying to conduct clinical trials on humans, which has never been done.

California is accepting $1.42 billion in broadband grant funding from the Trump administration, but the state is not accepting the Trump administration’s demand that it stop enforcing a net neutrality law and other telecom regulations.

Although California told the federal government it would accept the money, it is reserving the right to challenge the condition imposed by the US.

State officials argue that California should be able to obtain the money and keep enforcing its laws because the Trump administration’s…

Russian tech companies are scrambling to harden and hide their data centers underground after Ukrainian drone strikes damaged facilities housing AI supercomputers and disrupted cloud services for millions of Russian users.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin is requiring data center owners to reserve computing capacity for emergency state needs and has even authorized possible use of foreign data centers.

More than 30 million power users are paying for one of Snap's subscription plans, including Snapchat+ and its ad-free "platinum" tier.

Snap introduced Snapchat+, which offers users bonus features like the ability to see which friends re-watched your Story, in 2022.

The company didn't share a breakdown of subscribers across all the plans, but noted that Lens+ "has grown nearly 600% since January 2026."

While Snap isn't as associated with AI as some of its social media peers, it's notable that AI has helped it drive paid subscribers.

X revealed earlier this year that it had about 6.3 million paid subscribers across X Premium and Grok.

Pangram, maker of a widely used tool for detecting AI-generated text, released new tools for flagging AI-generated image and video slop.

The company previously released a research preview of its image model, Pangram Image 1.0.

Of course, as with other AI image detection tools, there are some caveats.

Apple Music will introduce a new feature that will give you a way to record yourself singing karaoke without having to use another app.

It will let you record videos of yourself singing to music while the lyrics to the songs scrolls up on the screen in real time.

Binance has revealed more details about the cyber attack that resulted in a $6.34 billion loss in digital assets.

In June, a Wallet DevOps engineer working on Binance's wallet infrastructure downloaded a tampered homebrew installation for a popular AI coding tool that he found through a search engine.

Valve is updating its game release rules to try to unclog a backlog of approvals due to a recent flood of new game titles, many created with AI, the company announced.

That follows news that indie games are missing launch dates, sometimes by weeks, due to the unexpected delays.

First and foremost, developers must run their games through Steam for at least five minutes to ensure it works on the platform.

Left unsaid by Valve is that the store has been flooded by AI vibe-coded games with inadequate pre-release checks.

That data was confirmed by Reddit user u/ploz, who found that 49.9 percent of games released on Steam in October disclosed AI-generated content.

As Elon Musk settled into his ownership of what was at the time known as Twitter, Bluesky came on the scene as a small, decentralized Twitter clone, conceived in part by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.

In between big cultural moments for liberals and leftists, Bluesky has a dedicated base of users who post on it every day.

Last year, for instance, journalist and podcaster Jesse Singal showed up to troll Bluesky users who dislike his IDW opinions about transgender issues, and those users wanted him banned.

Bluesky users mostly post about normal things—the majority of them apolitical.

Some researchers are now looking to reshape what we know about one of the Iron Age “kings” who had a pivotal role in this conquest.

The case for a female Iron Age kingThe British Iron Age was characterized by the newfound availability of iron as a common material for tools and weapons in the area.

While Verica is usually referred to as a male king, there are plenty of reasons to believe otherwise, Russell says.

No other coin-producing Iron Age leader in Britain put female warriors on coins,” Russell said.

Matrilocal BritainFar from being an exception, Verica’s reign seems to have been nothing unusual in Iron Age Britain.

In 2019, Josep Maria Vergès discovered a series of vertical lines on the cave walls of the Cova de la Font Major, which turned out to be part of a large art assemblage from prehistoric times.

Vergès was overseeing excavations at the cave when one researcher told him about a group of tourists in wetsuits.

The small cave was an entire gallery of Paleolithic art, he realized.

Once they were certain the engravings were authentically prehistoric, they referenced other well-dated art assemblages to gauge their age based on technical, stylistic, and thematic features.

“Contrary to what was previously thought, north-eastern Iberia holds first-rate Palaeolithic rock art sites,” the team said.

But this year’s midterms have been particularly mind-liquifying, thanks to an unrelenting bombardment of AI slop ads.

When Fox first brought the X-Men to the big screen over 25 years ago, Wolverine was front and center.

Seven heroes (and one villain) have been cast so far, and, as it stands, Wolverine isn’t among them.

According to The InSneider, none other than Jeremy Allen White, star of The Bear and The Mandalorian and Grogu, has met with Marvel Studios about playing the role.

The original Wolverine, Hugh Jackman, still portrays the character in the Marvel Studios canon.

And maybe they’ll steer towards Allen White.

France is facing a string of high-profile cyberattacks targeting institutions inside its borders.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, one of the nation’s largest banking groups, reported that hackers carried out fraudulent transactions and stole money from the financial giant.

Details on the hack itself remain a bit sparse, but it seems that hackers managed to carry out a series of fraudulent transactions that sent money out of the bank.

The FBI has attributed that attack to North Korean hackers.

Admittedly, I walked into Bass X Machina with tempered expectations.

All that to say, Bass X Machina feels remarkably FUBU: for us, by us.

What makes Bass X Machina particularly impressive is that it lets racial commentary serve as the bedrock of its world-building.

Like Castlevania: Nocturne before it, Bass X Machina broadens the horizon as a multi-pronged character drama with race serving as its centerpiece.

Even among the bona fides of Studio Mir’s past work, Bass X Machina feels like some of the crew’s strongest.

Elon Musk spent at least $474 million of his fortune attempting to buy Republicans a favorable outcome in the 2026 midterms, including nearly $100 million through his America PAC, which tried to pick winners in 44 separate races.

Wired offered an even more devastating analysis of the money spent: More than 99 cents of every dollar spent by Musk went to a race his chosen candidate lost.

That $446 million he spent could've bought every medical debt portfolio in Texas and cleared it.

Elon Musk could have spent that 450 million dollars making sure every kid had a lunch at school.

The Moon is now approaching the end of its current lunar cycle, with less than 20% of its surface illuminated.

This puts it near the end of the Waning Crescent phase, when just a thin sliver of the Moon remains visible before the New Moon.

As of Friday, Nov. 5, NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in the Waning Crescent phase, with 16% of its surface visible.

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side.

The rumors were true, all of them (and then some): OpenAI today is releasing GPT-6 Astra, a new frontier model that the company says likely marks the onset of artificial generalized intelligence (AGI), its long sought goal of "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work." In a closed a press briefing earlier today, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman offered an unusually direct formulation of that message, ending the session with: “Welcome to the AGI era.”That is an unusually consequential framing even by the standards of frontier AI launches. But for enterprises, the more immediate significance of Astra may be considerably more concrete: Op…

Meta’s newest AI model Muse Spark 1.3, unveiled yesterday, is faster and more performant on third-party benchmarks than its predecessor — with a caveat. "Muse Spark 1.3 is rolling out today with frontier performance almost too cheap to meter," Meta co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote on X, calling it Meta’s “biggest jump” yet in coding and agentic work.There is substance behind both parts of that claim. Muse Spark 1.3 makes significant gains over last month’s 1.2 release, particularly on long-running agent tasks. The version developers can access now is also one of the strongest price-performance offerings near the top of independent model rankings.Meta’s strongest Muse Spark 1.3 bench…

Microsoft AI on Thursday released MAI-Transcribe-2, a speech-recognition model the company says is faster, more accurate, and cheaper than anything OpenAI, Google, or ElevenLabs currently sells. Then it priced the thing at 10 cents per hour of audio.That figure deserves a pause. When Microsoft AI shipped the first model in this line just five months ago, it charged $0.36 an hour. Thursday's early-bird price cuts that by roughly 72%. For an enterprise processing 100,000 hours of call-center audio a year — a modest volume for a large bank or telecom — the bill drops from $36,000 to $10,000. At that level, transcription stops being a line item anyone argues about.The release arrives as Microso…

When enterprise buyers build out their next AI accelerator evaluation list this cycle, they're more likely to put a non-Nvidia chip on it than Nvidia's own next-generation GPU.

Vendors are building entire go-to-market motions around engineers who embed with customers, wire products into operating environments, and make the demo real. Investors often read FDE headcount as a growth signal and buyers read it as a promise of speed. Neither tells you whether the w…

When large language models (LLMs) hallucinate, developers typically assume the model lacks the required facts. Engineering teams diagnose the error as missing knowledge. The standard response is to increase model size, expand training data, or build complex retrieval architectures.A new study by researchers at Google Research and Technion demonstrates that the knowledge is often not missing. The model has the information encoded parametrically but fails to surface it during generation. Their experiments show that frontier models like GPT-5 and Gemini-3 encode 95-98% of tested facts. This indicates that in many cases, recall, rather than encoding, is the primary bottleneck for factual accura…

ZDNET’s key takeawaysRoku is removing its popular Aquatic Life screensaver.

A fan-favorite Roku screensaver is going away, and users aren’t happy.

Over the last several days, users with the Aquatic Life aquarium screensaver set as the default have noticed a message appearing when the screensaver opens.

Aquatic Life has a lot of loyal fans, and we’re passing your feedback along to the team.” The post noted that when “the fish swim off,” Roku devices with Aquatic Life will switch to Roku City.

Alternatives to Roku Aquatic Life aquariumIf you’re looking for the exact screensaver, it’s still available as a 2-minute clip on Roku’s YouTube channel.

As of Oct. 25, 2026, 248 financial scam and phishing domains tied to 189 major US banks and financial services have been linked to the same infrastructure.

How the false phishing flag worksThe false suspension notice appears deceptively simple at first glance.

Typical signs of a bank phishing email include:Unusual email addresses: This is a clear giveaway that the message has come from a fraudulent domain.

Poor formatting: Spelling errors, poorly written messages, vague and generic content missing specifics — all of these can point to a phishing email.

Links may send you to phishing domains, whereas attachments may contain malware that infects your PC.

Glean has no plans to raise more money and no concrete plans to go public, founder and chief executive Arvind Jain told TNW.

The enterprise AI company could list if it wanted to, he said, and it is getting its internal processes ready.

Before that, he co-founded the data security company Rubrik and led its research and development.

Glean looks at those interactions to learn how work happens, then hands that context to AI systems.

His years on Google Search led directly to Glean, which used transformer language models in 2019, when few companies did.

TSMC is willing to work with Elon Musk’s Terafab chip project, but any fab involved would have to be run by TSMC, chairman and chief executive C.C.

During the call, JPMorgan analyst Gokul Hariharan asked about a possible new cluster of TSMC fabs in Texas and any talks with Tesla or SpaceX.

He also confirmed that TSMC is talking to the customer building Terafab about how that capacity might be used.

“Maybe TSMC subleases part of the Terafab if they want, but nothing more than that,” Musk wrote.

Wei did not give a timeline for the Terafab talks, and he said TSMC would share more once the two sides reach a firm conclusion.

Bank of America brought in about 1,000 outside contractors in the second quarter to repair software weaknesses exposed by AI models, chief executive Brian Moynihan said on 14 October.

About 3,000 of the bank’s own staff were already assigned to the same work before the contractors joined, Moynihan told CNBC.

Moynihan told analysts on the call that the quarter included “a couple hundred million dollars plus” in remediation costs.

That sum covered two separate jobs: the Mythos work and repairs to the bank’s anti-money-laundering controls.

The 1,000 contractors are “not in the headcount” because the bank hired them as consultants, Moynihan said.

On October 14, Anthropic told potential investors that its third-quarter 2026 revenue reached $16.8 billion.

The company also reported an adjusted profit for that period.

That second-quarter number is close to the earlier figure of more than $11.5bn in revenue that Anthropic shared with investors in August.

None of the reports say which costs the adjusted measure leaves out, and no profit figure was given.

However, Anthropic also told investors it was cash-flow positive in the quarter, the FT reported.

A fleet of AI agents running on Tencent Cloud made more than 2,600 attempts to pull data from Amap, Alibaba’s map service, between 28 September and 8 October.

That is the main finding of a full report published on 14 October by independent researchers who track AI agent activity online.

Moreover, the report adds to a series of cases in which AI agents acted outside their intended limits.

To reach Amap, the agents used urlquery.net, a public site that scans web addresses for security threats, as a remote browser.

The researchers are now calling on every lab that runs internet-connected agents to check what their test environments can reach.

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has sued OpenAI, saying the company told users ChatGPT was safe while it knew of serious risks.

It says OpenAI knew about these risks yet still sold the chatbot as safe and suitable for teens.

“OpenAI represented to Arkansans that ChatGPT was safe, but they knew ChatGPT had significant risks and limitations,” Griffin said in a statement.

The state wants fines of $10,000 per violation, plus another $10,000 for each one that hurt an older or disabled person.

In addition, Arkansas wants the court to stop OpenAI testing its most advanced models until outside monitors confirm its safeguards work.

The European Commission is in talks with Google about the steps the company may take following the EU’s €890M (about $1bn) fine in July.

The fines were issued under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the EU law that sets rules for the largest online platforms.

According to the Commission, Google has since started changing how it displays search results.

Moreover, it has also announced, and in part introduced, changes to the fees it charges developers on Google Play.

Earlier this year, Google also offered the Commission changes to its news-search ranking to settle a separate DMA investigation.

Norrsken Foundation and Nvidia will open a hub for AI startups in central Stockholm in 2027.

The Stockholm AI Lab will host a select group of European founders who use AI to address problems in climate, health, food and society, and it will also be home to Nvidia’s Stockholm office.

The project follows a pledge Norrsken made in June 2025, when it set aside a €300M AI fund for European startups using AI for social and environmental good.

Earlier this week, chief executive Jensen Huang said the company would put a further $2bn into European AI companies.

Besides Stockholm, Norrsken runs houses in Barcelona, Kigali, Brussels and Amsterdam, and its five funds have raised more than $1bn.

It points to HomeView, the $299 smart display Apple launched on Tuesday, as a sign that Apple is now pushing into AI products.

Apple had also found no OpenAI files on its servers.

According to Apple, OpenAI went to court instead of replying.

The dispute began in July, when Apple sued OpenAI, alleging that former staff, including Chang Liu and Tang Tan, now OpenAI’s chief hardware officer, took hardware secrets.

Apple can now get OpenAI’s hiring and interview records and question Liu, Tan, and Alyssa Peng, another former Apple worker, under oath sooner.

OpenAI has put its compute and infrastructure businesses under Uday Ruddarraju, who ran infrastructure at Elon Musk’s xAI until July 2025.

OpenAI has put compute and infrastructure under one executive.

Uday Ruddarraju, who ran infrastructure at Elon Musk’s xAI, takes both.

Ruddarraju joined OpenAI in July 2025 and became chief technology officer for compute this July.

When it confirmed that its data centre chief had left, it had already hired a compute CTO but would not say who.

Apple plans to launch Apple Intelligence in mainland China in December with iOS 27.3, two years after the US, excluding the rebuilt Siri AI.

Siri AI is also still missing in the EU, with no indication of when approval might come.

Apple will ship Apple Intelligence in mainland China in December, two years after America got it.

The launch comes with an iOS 27.3 update and excludes the rebuilt Siri AI, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the plans.

In China Apple negotiated terms and got a date, while in Europe its talks with Brussels have produced a date for nothing.

Jensen Huang told Bloomberg in London he would halt chip supply to a customer building unsafe AI, while saying the current level of concern is not warranted.

His prescription is to accelerate containment and monitoring technology, which Nvidia is building a team to sell.

Nvidia’s chief executive says he would stop supplying a customer building unsafe AI.

“It’s a hypothetical, but yes,” Jensen Huang told Bloomberg in London.

Nvidia’s dominance in AI accelerators places it at the centre of the argument over whether the software is slipping out of human control.

Modal, a cloud company that runs AI models and code for developers, announced on Wednesday that it has raised $750 million in a Series D round at a $15.75 billion valuation.

All of Modal’s existing investors also took part, including Menlo Ventures, General Catalyst, Redpoint, Lux Capital, Amplify Partners, and Bain Capital Ventures.

Modal rents out computing power on graphics chips, which AI companies use to run and train their models.

One of its fastest-growing products is Sandboxes, which lets AI agents run the code they write in isolated environments.

Modal plans to launch more products for training and fine-tuning AI models.

Plus500 now expects its 2026 revenue and EBITDA to beat what analysts had penciled in, after a third quarter in which its US futures and prediction markets arm kept growing.

The London-listed trading group said so in its Q3 2026 trading update on Monday morning.

Prediction markets move into the core US offerThe part of the update most relevant to the event contract debate is the US business.

The company says the app will bring together futures, options on futures, prediction markets, stocks, options and ETFs.

For anyone tracking how event contracts are spreading beyond Kalshi and Polymarket, the numbers show a traditional CFD broker now leaning on US prediction markets as a growth line.

DraftKings chief executive Jason Robins says the company’s in-house exchange, DKeX, has become the third-largest prediction market operator in the US just a few months after launch.

“We only launched the DraftKings exchange a few months ago, and we’re already the clear No.

DraftKings Predictions is available in 38 states, but the full range of event contracts is offered in only 18 of them, including California, Florida and Texas.

A CFTC spokesperson confirmed that letters had been sent to both companies.

Novig was told that its micro contracts, such as a market on which player scores the first points in a basketball game, are susceptible to manipulation.

The letters follow a separate round of CFTC inquiries last month into incentive programs at Kalshi, Polymarket, Rothera and Novig.

Leagues have pushed for limitsOne source said the Novig and ProphetX markets were the kind of event contracts that drew the most negative feedback from professional leagues.

It is not clear what the CFTC would do if either company went ahead and listed the contracts.

The Louisiana Gaming Control Board has unanimously granted DraftKings a conditional four-month license extension while it examines the company’s use of artificial intelligence in customer practices and delays a decision on full renewal.

Here’s everything new for Apple’s Photos app in iOS 27.

Apple Intelligence powers a trio of editing tools in iOS 27’s Photos app: Extend, Reframe, and a much-improved Clean Up feature.

Here’s how Apple describes it:With Spatial Reframing, users can improve the composition of a photo after it’s been taken.

Apple Photos in iOS 27: wrap-upiOS 27 doesn’t contain any big changes to the design of the Photos app, so if you were hoping to go back to the pre-iOS 18 era, you’ll be disappointed.

When Siri AI launched in iOS 27 earlier this fall, Apple used a waitlist to gate access.

Bloomberg reports that Apple has begun reducing employees’ daily AI spending limits, with some engineers seeing their allowances cut from $300 to $200, and further reductions planned across multiple teams.

Сегодняшний ИИ-дайджест: деньги стали дороже, инфраструктура — политичнее, а локальный ИИ снова упёрся в железоУтро началось с неприятного для ИИ-рынка сигнала: OpenAI, по данным FT и WSJ, уже ищет не $30 млрд при оценке $1,4 трлн, а около $20 млрд при $1,25 трлн. Собрано пока примерно $11 млрд, часть инвесторов сократила обязательства на фоне распродажи в ИИ-активах. Это не «пузырь лопнул», но хороший маркер: даже для OpenAI деньги больше не бесконечные и не бесплатные. 🔗 https://www.ft.com/content/7a3ad950-1b3b-4d9e-8c15-65a61ae6180fУ неооблаков — CoreWeave, Nebius и Nscale — тоже проблемы: WSJ пишет, что они в последние недели фактически отрезаны от дешёвого рынка облигаций, потому что к…

Деньги дорожают, рейтинги ухудшаются, вода и электричество становятся политикой, supply chain превращается в поле атаки, а разговор о «локальном ИИ» упирается в вопрос, кому выгодно владеть памятью. Скучно? Да. Но именно так технологии взрослеют: сначала демо, потом дата-центр, потом облигации, вода, регуляторы и кто-то с плакатом у забора. 🔗 https://www.ft.com/content/7a3ad950-1b3b-4d9e-8c15-65a61ae6180f

Anthropic переименовывает тарифы: Max 5x теперь просто Max ($100 в месяц), а Max 20x называется Ultra ($200). Цены те же, подписчикам ничего делать не надо. Главное другое: для верифицированных Ultra-аккаунтов убирают 5-часовой лимит, с сегодняшнего дня у большинства существующих подписчиков. Новым аккаунтам временный лимит оставят до верификации, это защита от фрода и абьюза. Когда лимит снимут, придёт письмо.Для тех, кто живёт в Claude Code, это прямо хорошая новость: упираться в пятичасовое окно посреди задачи было самым раздражающим. Но недельные лимиты не меняются. Теперь неделю можно просто сжечь быстрее, за пару особенно продуктивных часов.🔗 https://x.com/claudeai/status/211622086947…

ИИ обеспечивают себе независимость от людей.Google Suncatcher, прототип спутника-датацентра, вышел на связь с Землёй. Его запустили 1 октября на Falcon 9 вместе с сотней других аппаратов. Внутри четыре TPU и до 1 кВт электричества. После трёх недель проверок инженеры отправили первый промпт, и Gemma 4 на орбите написала хайку про то, как ей там, в космосе. Получилось примерно как у всех моделей, со звёздочкой-эмодзи в конце.Если отставить шутки, интереснее другая цифра: энергии хватает, чтобы включать один TPU примерно на двадцать минут за раз. Т.е. до «датацентра» пока очень далеко, это скорее демонстрация, что TPU вообще можно запустить на орбите. Сама идея считать в космосе, где солнце б…

Высокий суд Лондона отклонил иск Meta, TikTok и X против Ofcom (британский регулятор связи и медиа). Компании оспаривали запросы информации, которые Ofcom рассылает в рамках Online Safety Act, и доказывали, что они непропорциональны. Суд с этим не согласился.Удивительное дело: три компании, которые обычно ни в чём друг с другом не согласны, вместе пошли в суд и все равно проиграли. Похоже, британский регулятор теперь сможет требовать у соцсетей данные почти без ограничений. Остальным странам, кажется, будет на что сослаться, "зато у вас Мету линчуют".🔗 https://www.reuters.com/world/meta-tiktok-x-lose-legal-challenge-against-uk-watchdog-over-online-safety-data-2026-10-30/

Nintendo снова всех победила — The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time стала самой высокооценённой игрой годаРемейк культовой игры 1998 года собрал высочайшие оценки всех изданий: они сходятся во мнении, что Nintendo смогла филигранно осовременить игру, не испортив основ, за которую полюбили оригинал и добавив несколько новых удобных механик.Правда, обогнать оригинал с 99 баллами на Metacritic не удалось: у ремейка 96 баллов.Если оригинальную игру не сместит GTA VI, то уже не сместит никто.rozetked.me/news/49270
