PS5 emulation is suddenly making big strides on PC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a long time, PC gamers could access many PlayStation 5 games only if the publisher invested in a bespoke port (something Sony has recently said it will be scaling back). Now, though, rapid advancements in PS5 emulators and other tools are making recent PlayStation titles increasingly playable on generic PCs. SharpEmu was the first of these emulators, advancing from a “very early alpha stage” in May to a current state that can “load the eboot.bin of real games, execute native CPU instructions
Here's what actually happened in OpenAI's Australian gov't server hack (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, when Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told the world that an OpenAI agent had accessed “non-public files” from his country’s Medicare statistics portal during testing, his description of the incident was a little light on details.
