There are thousands of characters in the Star Wars universe, but Admiral Ackbar has a special place in many fans’ hearts. The squidy admiral from Mon Calamari (yes, that’s a real, fictional place in Star Wars) is beloved for a single line read in Return of the Jedi. And as if he needed it, Nvidia immortalized him with a custom-painted GeFource RTX 4080 for May the Fourth.
The graphics card comes with a one-of-a-kind painting done by Blue Horse Studios, substituting the GPU’s beefy intake fan for the second Death Star. And Nvidia is giving it away (in a method which, we are assured, is not a t ..read more

Microsoft has made it much, much easier to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 23H2, the last major update for Windows 11. From now on, all Windows 10 users can upgrade directly to Windows 11 23H2, as spotted by Windows Latest.
This eliminates the annoying and time-consuming intermediate step of first having to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 22H2 and only then being able to update to Windows 11 23H2.

Last week, the publisher and developer of co-op Helldivers 2 had a real “the peasants are revolting” situation on their hands. Sony told players that they’d have to link their Steam accounts with PlayStation Network to continue playing the game later this month. After an overwhelmingly negative reaction from fans — many of whom lived in countries where Sony’s PSN isn’t available — the company has retreated, saying that it will not enact the requirement.
“Helldivers fans, we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update,” says the official PlayStation Twitter X Elon’s Speci ..read more
