Warframe: 1999 looks nuts. Prototype warframes, boy bands, dating—a lot of weird stuff is on the horizon. That’s all coming in winter 2024, but Digital Extremes is already gearing up for it with the next update, The Lotus Eaters, which is dropping on August 21.
Expect a new quest, albeit a short one, where the Lotus calls on you to investigate “a strange but familiar sound” on Deimos. Maybe it’s one of the hit single’s from 1999’s iconic boy band On-lyne, which was introduced during the last TennoCon in July.
It’s all connected to the past, naturally, getting players ready for a trip back in time where we’ll be able to live life to the extreme in a way only possible right before the turn of the millennium—with motorbikes, pop, floppy haircuts and chatting to your crush via IM. It certainly sounds like my experience of ’99, aside from the biking and the, you know, fighting monsters thing.
On top of this prologue quest, Sevagoth Prime is…
Several versions of Doom were released back in the game’s heyday, though only one floppy version contained the hellish secrets of the lesser-known multi-monitor Doom mode. Having acquired Doom v1.1, presenter AkBKukU of the TechTangent Youtube channel has been messing around with some horrendously beige hardware and finally managed to get Doom running on not three, but four CRT monitors.
Man, is it a beautiful sight to behold.
After assessing the sorry state of four single-core Intel Pentium 4-powered machines, thankfully with only a few bulging capacitors on their motherboards, AkBKukU decided they were willing to risk powering them on for a Doom experiment. The Dark Lord commanded it, and so it shall be done.
Once he had all four up and running MS-DOS 6.22, AkBKukU had to do some networking wizardry to get each one working in tandem. The next step was to hunt down some LAN controller software, which proved awkward since those found on the Intel archives were impo…
“If Arm emerges, I want to be the foundry.” So says Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger when asked at his post-keynote Q&A at the Computex show whether Arm chips are taking over and eating into Intel’s market share of x86 chips for PCs.
Actually, Gelsinger gave two answers. First, he argued that Intel’s x86 product line up is super strong.
“This is not the first Windows on Arm announcement, right? And the x86 market share has remained very hot, you need to have a reason to change. So, if you believe what I showed on stage today, literally the best CPU, the best graphics, the best NPU and very compelling battery life—why would you change,” Gelsinger said.
But he also hedged his and Intel’s bets. “That said, if Arm emerges, I want to be the foundry,” he explained. “We don’t say that cavalierly. We mean it. The partnership that Intel has forged with Arm is dramatically more powerful and beneficial for both companies than I could have even imagined when I took this…

I spent most of today’s game trying to get a stubborn yellow to turn green—it just didn’t want to fit into any of the spaces I expected it to. Luckily for me this over-focused panic led me to a few other key letters along the way, and eventually, on the very last row, today’s Wordle answer.

Intel is currently weathering a storm of epic proportions right now, with falling share prices, a foundry service that’s losing billions of dollars, thousands of staff being fired, and processors that are reportedly failing in large quantities due to excessive voltages. Getting concrete data on the latter has been tricky but Puget Systems, a well-known manufacturer of workstation PCs, has issued a report detailing its own findings on the failure rate of 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPUs—and the results might surprise you.
The short version of the Puget report is simple: it has certainly experienced Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh processors crashing and giving up the ghost but it’s all been “much more muted in terms of timeline and failure rate.”
That may seem somewhat at odds with what’s been said and if one reads nothing but headlines, you’d been forgiven for thinking that Intel’s chips are veritable bombs, just waiting to go off at a moment’s notice. However, bec…
Blizzard has changed the way nabbing a mythic skin in Overwatch 2 works, introducing a new shop, new currency and (sort of) new method of obtaining them.
The Mythic Shop is the new home for Overwatch’s rarest ‘stumes, where mythic skins that are at least two seasons old will appear. Instead of grinding out each season’s battle pass for its respective skin, you’ll be able to choose which one you want. Fancy this season’s Mercy mythic? You can do that, but if you’re still upset you missed out on season one’s Genji skin, you can opt to buy that instead. However, if you’re gunning to buy a skin that’s from last season or the season before, you’ll have to wait until its third season for it to appear in the shop.
Skins can be bought with the game’s newest currency, Mythic Prisms. Thankfully, you can earn these just by playing through the premium battle pass. One completed battle pass will nab you enough Prisms to purchase a mythic skin with its four customisation tiers. Altern…
