🚨NEW: White House officials have asked Keir Starmer not to ban social media for under-16s, arguing age restrictions will cause "disproportionate compliance burdens on American companies" and that it would be preferable to target “pornographic and adult commercial content... rather than broad social media bans”

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth. It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter. Less than a refrigerator light bulb. The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light. By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery. NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise. The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself. Launched 1977. Still transmitting. Still being heard. We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in. That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

Valve Developer Posts New AMD Anti-Lag Implementation For RADV Driver phoronix.com/news/Valve-New-…

I don't mind Steam having adult content, but I don't want to adult content game ads if I don't own them. There needs to be an 'Adult' tag or something. Just had "Horny Villa" pop up in Featured & Recommended b/c I own games tagged 'Anime, RPG, Puzzle, Strategy'...

Steam Survey for May 2026 is finally out, and Linux is sitting just under 4%. • Linux: 3.99% • macOS: 2.16% • Linux is still well above where it used to be • SteamOS makes up just under 25% of Linux Steam users • AMD CPUs are still close to 70% among Linux gamers • Steam Deck is still a major reason Linux gaming is growing This is why SteamOS is key. Linux just needs to keep growing, keep getting better driver support, better Proton compatibility, better controller support, and more hardware options.

DO NOT BUY THE 5800X3D for $349.00! When you can purchase a 7800X3D for $239.89! DO NOT buy the Ryzen 7 5800X3D for $349. Not when the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is around $239.89. • 5800X3D is on the older AM4 platform • 7800X3D is on AM5 • 7800X3D is faster for gaming • AM5 gives you a better upgrade path • DDR5 support • Better efficiency • Newer motherboard features • Better long-term value you are paying premium money for an older platform when the 7800X3D gives you better gaming performance and a much better future upgrade path. The 5800X3D is good. The price is the problem. amzn.to/3SlumAJ Note: Link above is a affiliate link.

SteamOS is exposing something most gamers never expected. A Linux-based operating system is outperforming Windows on the exact same hardware. Not in theory. In real benchmarks. SteamOS vs Windows for gaming:

The gridfin on the right seems to have locked up during todays landing, luckily the booster had sufficient control authority to compensate for this and land successfully.
