Ex-Disney CEO Michael Eisner calls the FCC’s threats ‘out-of-control intimidation’

Michael Eisner, Disney's former CEO who ran the company for 21 years and oversaw its acquisition of ABC in 1995, does not think his successor, Bob Iger, made the right decision in moving to put Jimmy Kimmel Live! on indefinite pause following threats from Trump-appointed FCC chairman Brendan Carr. In a post to X about the Kimmel situation, Eisner - who once opted to suppress the theatrical release of Martin Scorsese's Kundun in response to pressure from the Chinese government - wrote, "Where has all the leadership gone?"Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor …Read the full story at The Verge.

Are you looking for a new RPG to pour a ton of time into? If so, then do I have the games for you. Back in 2019, Square Enix shook up the JRPG scene with Octopath Traveller, a game that combines 2D sprites with 3D worlds. It did so well that Square Enix would go on to make Octopath Traveler 2, which kept the unique art style.

4 times when an M.2 heatsink is more than just cosmetic

SSD speeds have continued to skyrocket with PCIe Gen 4 and Gen 5, and with it, so have their thermal demands. M.2 drives may be tiny, but they can run surprisingly hot under load, especially in compact cases or poorly ventilated spots on your motherboard. Without a heatsink, many of...
SSD speeds have continued to skyrocket with PCIe Gen 4 and Gen 5, and with it, so have their thermal demands. M.2 drives may be tiny, but they can run surprisingly hot under load, especially in compact cases or poorly ventilated spots on your motherboard. Without a heatsink, many of these drives will throttle down, lose consistency, or even wear out faster than expected. That’s when an M.2 drive heatsink goes from an optional add-on to something that can make a big difference.

The greatest NBA 2K story modes ever — and the one that dropped the ball

When you think about sports games, especially annualized ones, the "story mode" isn't usually the first thing that comes to mind. Not for the players, and definitely not for the devs. And that's okay, because it's par for the course. Most players dive straight into online, franchise, or career-building, and...

Trump claims the US is about to get a tremendous fee for taking TikTok out of China

A 10 percent stake in Intel, 15 percent of Nvidia’s China sales, a “golden share” of Nippon Steel — what price will Trump extract next in exchange for favorable treatment?

A 10 percent stake in Intel, 15 percent of Nvidia’s China sales, a “golden share” of Nippon Steel — what price will Trump extract next in exchange for favorable treatment? Well, The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Trump Administration is “expected to collect a multibillion-dollar fee” in exchange for negotiating a US takeover of TikTok’s US business.That fee will reportedly come from TikTok’s US investors, including private equity firm Silver Lake and Oracle, with the new group getting half of TikTok, while TikTok China’s parent company ByteDance would still have under 20 percent.Yesterday, Trump said that “the United States is getting a tremendous fee-plus, I call it a ‘fee-plus,’ just for making the deal.” But Trump says a lot of things that need dissecting, and it was absolutely unclear today whether there’s even a TikTok deal or not. So to see the WSJ reporting that “people familiar with the matter” think a deal might not only get approved, but also see billions of dollars flow from US companies into the Trump Administration’s coffers, sounds like something to be aware of. Why would those companies pay Trump’s government billions unless they think they’ll make even more?

Kiwix is the ultimate offline knowledge base for students

I completed my Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering in 2020. The four-year course involved a lot of projects and assignments that required extensive research from various sources. Unfortunately, there was no ChatGPT or NotebookLM back then, so all the research had to be conducted manually. While I had no issues with that, the biggest bottleneck was my university's internet connection. I'm not sure whether it was the ISP or a poor Wi-Fi router at fault, but the internet speeds were downright terrible — slowing down everyone's work. If you're facing a similar situation at school or college, let me introduce you to Kiwix.

Windows 11 is adding another Copilot b***on nobody asked for

Have enough Copilot buttons in your life? No you don’t — have another one! This one pops up in the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview when mousing over an open app in your taskbar; it lets you share the contents with Copilot Vision. Want to know who is celebrating in that dogpile on the mound, or dig a little deeper on that sculpture you took a photo of? Just click that “Share with Copilot” button that pops up in the window preview. Copilot Vision scans what’s on your screen, analyzes it, and lets you discuss the contents of the window with Microsoft’s AI chatbot to get more context, including offering tutorials. Of course, it doesn’t exactly seem like Windows users are clamoring for more Copilot in their lives. There’s already buttons popping up in Microsoft Paint, Notepad, in the taskbar, on your keyboard, and right on the front of some PCs. There’s even another, more useful Copilot feature in the same Windows 11 preview that translates on-screen text. Microsoft does say it’s just “trying out this taskbar capability”, so don’t be shocked if it gets axed in an upcoming build before it actually ships to regular users.

Zorin OS 18 opens its doors to those fleeing Microsoft as the Windows 10 end-of-life date looms

As Microsoft prepares to stop providing feature updates for Windows 10 this coming October, users still running the operating system have a few options ahead of them. While you can upgrade to Windows 11 (either with a new PC or by forcing your old one) or extend your Windows 10 support for a year, there's always the option to abandon ship and try a new operating system altogether. That's what I did, as I've since moved on to Fedora KDE.

Are you excited for the Lenovo Legion Go 2? If you are, you're definitely not alone. The company opened pre-orders for its next portable console, and it definitely generated the interest it wanted. In fact, one may say they got a little too much interest, as the company has stated that it has had to shut down preorders from the time being and cancel some that have already been made.

Outside quick questions, I often don't turn to Google or even AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini when I need real answers. More often than not, I end up on Reddit. Now, here's the issue with Reddit: it's extremely easy to get sidetracked and fall into a rabbit hole of endless threads. Before you know it, you've spent hours and hours scrolling through random Reddit posts, even when the original question that brought you there was solved long, long ago.

You don’t need to set up VLANs to segment your network

As your home network needs grow, you might consider network segmentation to make it more manageable and keep things safer. If you are, you're on the right track toward having a more resililiant network, where ease of use is balanced with security and other needs. The most common way to achieve this is through using VLANs, but that isn't the only way to get the network segmentation you want, and it might not be the best way for your particular network setup.
