In what appears to be a scene ripped out straight from a James Bond movie, the CEO of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, has apparently escaped China via the maritime route just days before stringent exit controls were slated to take effect, if a wild rumor is anything to go by. The rumor reportedly originated from internal Huawei chat screenshots, with heavy police presence at the company's HQ only adding fuel to this speculative frenzy This particular rumor first began circulating on September 12 when some internal Huawei chats surfaced that referenced unpaid wages and a heavy police contingent at the company's […]

When you have Anthropic's Jacob Coxon literally boasting about the fact that he collaborated with others to make his doom-and-gloom-style resignation post go viral, while continuing to tout the supposedly noble intentions of his former employer in one podcast after another, one is hard-pressed not to adopt a predominantly cynical bent on the coordinated push towards pacing the progress on AI, made all the more incredulous by the fact that OpenAI echoed that call within hours when Dario Amodei and Sam Altman rarely see eye to eye on any topic under the sun. To a skeptic, an assumption of obfuscation […]

NVIDIA has introduced a limit for its gaming laptop partners to maintain the RTX 5070 Ti’s power limit at 140W, but one intrepid individual has managed to break through the ceiling and allow the mobile graphics processor to run at 160W, resulting in a 14.3 percent increase over the default specifications. Here’s how he accomplished this daunting task, and while he’s offered a way for other users to attempt this, there’s no question that there are a multitude of risks involved. Flashing a VBIOS profile and voltage curve locking, the laptop RTX 5070 Ti achieved its upgraded power limit Running […]

Chinese electronic design automation (EDA) firm Empyrean Technology is using agentic artificial intelligence to accelerate its chip design process. The firm's chairman, Liu Weiping, shared the details at a conference in Shenzen, China, last week. His remarks come as Chinese firms continue to manage around the constraints levied on them through chip equipment sanctions. According to Weiping, his firm has managed to cut down design times for some tasks by as much as 75% through using agentic AI, and his comments came days before China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a new development plan for the information and […]

You probably never witnessed something like this. The notorious 16-pin connector can surprise you in ways you cannot even imagine. User Finds a Large Hole in 16-pin Connector After Playing a Decade Old Indie Title on Max Settings on RTX 5090 Who would have thought that the 16-pin power connector is so capable that it can merge two individual ports together? Perhaps, if you can game hard enough, you might accidentally create a new design on your RTX 5090's connector. The Redditor u/UnpluggedUnfettered never thought that playing an indie game would result in such a horrible incident. Unlike the usual […]

FromSoftware is among the most beloved Japanese game development studios, but I'd wager the development studio headed by the uncompromising Hidetaka Miyazaki will soon become even more loved in the PC gaming community thanks to a rather interesting fact, as its games originally developed by the studio have kick-started proper PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 emulation. Although not in the same state as Bloodborne emulation, the Demon's Souls remake emulation progress has skyrocketed in just 24 hours, finally hitting a major milestone. As reported on Reddit, the Bluepoint Games remake of the action RPG originally created by FromSoftware has gone […]

A stage has been reached where you can seemingly develop games using local AI models that don’t require an internet connection or employ any token usage. Based on one individual’s claim, Qwen3.8-27B was leveraged to make a first-person zombie shooter in around five hours, and while it doesn’t even come near those visually breathtaking visuals of AAA titles, this is an excellent example of how far AI has evolved. An older RTX 3090 gaming PC was used to develop the game from scratch, concluding that serious hardware is still necessary to venture into this category The exact version of Qwen3.8-27B […]

OpenRGB has officially reached version 1.0, launching almost three years after the release of version 0.9. With the new release, the developers added expanded hardware support, a new profile system, the ability to run it as a background service, and many other things

For those who don't know, OpenRGB is an open-source utility lets users control RGB lighting across hardware from various manufacturers through a single application, eliminating the need for vendor-specific software such as Asus Armory Crate or MSI Center.

The update (via VideoCardz) expands device compatibility and includes major internal software changes. Developers revamped the profile system and added the ability to run the application as a background service without keeping the full interface active. Moving the codebase from Qt5 to Qt6 marks another major milestone, along with the integration of PawnIO support, adding low-level hardware access for RGB memory and specific older motherboards.

Moreover, developers updated the OpenRGB SDK to version 6 and the Plugin API to version 5. As a result, older plugins will need updated builds to work properly with the 1.0 release. The development team confirmed that compatible plugin builds will follow the primary launch.

KitGuru says: Did you already know about OpenRGB? For those who did and have it installed, have you already checked version 1.0?
