Apparently, Minecraft movie is on track to become a commercial hit. It earned $10m+ during the preview evening, $100m+ on its first day and is now aiming for $260m+ by the end of the weekend. Wait, is it bad or what? It's rather dumb, but somewhat passionate…
Remember how it was expected that Minecraft is going to earn $260m during the first weekend? The expectations failed...
... It has $301 million now with both domestic and global markets earnings exceeding expectations.

Oddly enough, NVIDIA decided they need some good news too and finally open sourced the GPU kernel for Physx.
For a few years their physics library was open source in general, but was able to run on a CPU if NVIDIA GPU wasn't found. Now it's in the past and 3rd party GPUs may become compatible.
They also messed up with RTX 50, which is on a hardware level unable to run 32-bit Physx in old games. It may be fixed by some software tricks now.

Good night, folks!
Tim accidentally boosted meme coins prices by x30, when he mentioned them in a joke about IRS requirements to report income from criminal activities.
Now he's a spiritual leader of all meme coins, trying to stop it all, and getting Streisand effect. It's hilarious to watch 🍿 (he's generally a nice guy but struggles with some social communications).

Yet again: do not update NVIDIA drivers to 572.xx. For many users of all generations from GTX 10 and up to RTX 50, these drivers may cause system freezes and black screen issues. Stay at 566 or whatever you are using right now. #NVIDIA@GameDEV #Hardware@GameDEV

Get It Together, NVIDIA | Terrible GPU Driver Stability

NVIDIA has major GPU driver instability problems right now, and that includes the newer RTX 50 series (like the 5090) and the prior RTX 40 and 30 series alike. We read through user reports…

DO NOT BUY THE NINTENDO SWITCH 2 | Bearman3600
I love being angry about meaningless topics. This is less about me wanting better baby games, and more of me hating corporations and watching them make billions off the bare minimum while their sheep fans cheer them on. It's disgusting. If you aren't able…
