The National Vulnerability Database entered September 2026 carrying more than 27,000 unprocessed CVEs, a backlog that grew from roughly 13,000 in mid-2024, according to a June 2026 inspector general report from the US Commerce Department. In April 2026, NIST reclassified close to 29,000 of those backlogged entries as “Not Scheduled,” meaning they get no automatic…
Nintendo 3DS emulation on PC looks nothing like it did two years ago. Citra, the emulator that defined the category for a decade, went dark on March 5, 2024, after Nintendo’s parent company Tropic Haze settled a lawsuit tied to the Yuzu Switch emulator for $2.4 million. That settlement didn’t just kill Yuzu — it…
Add a manifest, register a service worker, and technically you have a Progressive Web App. Ship it that way and it will fail Lighthouse’s installability check, cache the wrong assets, and leave users staring at a blank screen the first time their connection drops. The gap between “it works on my machine” and a PWA…
Nintendo Switch emulation on PC looks nothing like it did two years ago. Yuzu and the original Ryujinx are both gone, killed off by Nintendo’s 2024 legal campaign, and a new generation of community projects has taken their place. If you searched “nintendo switch emulator pc” this week, you likely landed on a tangle of…
AWS spent the first half of 2026 rolling out its fifth generation of custom Arm silicon, and the rollout has been unusually fast even by AWS standards. Amazon EC2 M9g and M9gd instances powered by AWS Graviton5 processors went generally available on June 10, 2026. C9g and C9gd followed on June 30, 2026, and R9g…
Multiplayer game studios have a scaling problem that regular web apps don’t: a game server can’t just spin up and shut down on a whim mid-match. It has to hold state, keep a UDP socket open, and survive until the round ends. That mismatch is why so many teams either build brittle in-house fleet managers…
A Discord account with a decade of servers, roles, and Nitro history can be gone in about four minutes. That’s roughly how long security researchers say it takes an infostealer to grab an active token, log in from a fresh device, and lock the real owner out. Steam accounts fare worse in the headlines: in…
Nintendo has never sold a Super Nintendo Classic Mini in every region, never restocked the ones it did sell for long, and has shown zero interest in bringing SNES Online libraries up to full parity outside its own subscription tier. That gap is exactly why three free PC projects still matter in 2026: bsnes, Snes9x,…
Every major AI lab still advertises a free chatbot tier, but “free” has stopped meaning the same thing across providers. OpenAI now promises unlimited everyday text chats on ChatGPT’s free plan, while Anthropic caps Claude’s free tier at roughly 15 to 40 messages per five-hour window. Google throttles Gemini’s free model access and context window…
The viral fervor we saw earlier this year around OpenClaw, the open source AI harness that turns powerful language models into autonomous workers the user can message via their favorite channels (Telegram, iMessage, WhatsApp, Discord etc), has cooled off substantially from its peak in March 2026.But over the weekend, OpenClaw's creator Peter Steinberger and current…
