AMD has moved to calm fears within the PC gaming community by confirming that Windows 10 users will continue to receive full driver support, despite Microsoft’s recent end-of-support milestone for the aging operating system. The clarification follows confusion over the latest Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 update, released on October 29, 2025, which made no explicit mention of Windows 10 compatibility in its documentation — a change from previous versions that consistently listed both Windows 10 and Windows 11 as supported platforms. This omission led some users to believe that AMD might be following Microsoft’s lead by discontinuing driver updates for Windows…

Another chapter has been added to the ongoing saga of corporate disputes in the streaming era: Disney’s channels, including ESPN and ABC, have disappeared from YouTube TV, following a breakdown in contract negotiations between the two media giants. The removal occurred just before midnight Eastern time, as both sides failed to finalize a renewal agreement. For millions of subscribers, this means no access to Disney’s extensive portfolio of networks — and even more frustratingly, previously recorded programs from those channels have been wiped from the platform’s DVR system. The development highlights how the streaming industry, once heralded as a simpler…

Microsoft’s Handheld Compatibility Program is the company’s most significant step yet toward legitimizing Windows handheld gaming, a market previously defined by scattered hardware and uncertain performance. Handheld gaming PCs like the ROG Xbox Ally have proven that portable PC gaming is viable, but they still rely on integrated graphics—chips never meant to handle demanding AAA workloads. This inherent limitation means not every PC game performs equally well on these compact systems. To address that, Microsoft’s new program categorizes games by their playability on handheld hardware, mirroring Valve’s Steam Deck Verified system. The four classification tiers—Handheld Optimized, Mostly Compatible, Unsupported, and…

However, the statement did not detail how steep the price adjustments will be or how long they will last. The timing of this announcement comes as warning signs flash across the PC hardware industry. Over the past several months, analysts have…

Data from NASA satellites reveal that the Earth is reflecting less sunlight than it did two decades ago, with the Northern Hemisphere showing the most pronounced decline. Dr. Norman G. Loeb and colleagues at NASA’s Langley Research Center analyzed solar radiation, albedo, and radiation balance data from 2001 to 2025, concluding that both hemispheres have darkened and are absorbing more energy. Overall, the planet’s radiation absorption has risen by 0.83 watts per square meter per decade, with the Northern Hemisphere accounting for 0.34 watts per square meter. Although ocean currents and atmospheric circulation offset some of this gain, a net…
