Modders are trying out an unofficial version of Nvidia's DLSS 5 on Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V, and a bunch of other games after code for the AI upscaling tech appeared in an early-access build of NBA 2K27. Members of the RenoDX modding channel on Discord reportedly found a way to extract the DLSS "Neural […]

If you've provisioned a VPC from a Terraform module without fully internalising what each piece is doing, that's fine — right up until something breaks. An instance that should be reachable isn't. A private instance can't pull a package update. And you're left checking five different resources with no clear mental model of how they connect. This post builds that mental model from the ground up. Not just definitions — the why behind each piece, so troubleshooting becomes deduction instead of guesswork. CIDR math you actually need A CIDR block is IP address / prefix length . The prefix length fixes the network portion; the remaining bits are your host space. Formula: 2^(32 - prefix) = total addresses . AWS reserves 5 per subnet (network address, VPC router, DNS, reserved, broadcast). CIDR Total addresses Usable /16 65,536 65,531 /20 4,096 4,091 /24 256 251 /28 16 11 To reverse-engineer a prefix from a required host count: round up to the next power of two, subtract the exponent from 32. Need 300 hosts? Next power of two is 512 (2⁹), so prefix = 32 - 9 = /23 . Run this before sizing any subnet that will host an autoscaling group or EKS node group. Start with /16 for the VPC itself. VPC CIDR is difficult to resize after the fact — once you have subnets, peering connections, or Transit Gateway attachments built against it, renumbering becomes a migration project. /16 costs nothing up front and avoids that corner. Subnet allocation: carving up the VPC A practical three-AZ production layout from 10.0.0.0/16 : Tier AZ-a AZ-b AZ-c Size Typical use Public 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.1.0/24 10.0.2.0/24 /24 ALB, NAT gateway, bastion Private/app 10.0.16.0/20 10.0.32.0/20 10.0.48.0/20 /20 EKS nodes, ECS, EC2 Data 10.0.64.0/24 10.0.65.0/24 10.0.66.0/24 /24 RDS, ElastiCache Reserved 10.0.128.0/17 /17 Future tiers, Transit Gateway, VPN The jump from /24 in the public tier to /20 in the app tier is intentional. ALBs and NAT gateways consume very few IPs; the app tier is where consumption scales

The Steam release was supposed to get fans excited for an upcoming remake.

Samsung announced its upcoming lineup of Odyssey gaming monitors today at Gamescom, and says that several will feature "world-first innovations" across display speeds and design.

The Asus Xbox Ally X20 looked like it could be one of the best handheld gaming PCs yet made - but originally, Asus wanted you to buy a bundle pairing it with pricy AR glasses. In July, we told you that bundle would no longer be necessary, and today it's official: you can pre-order a […]

When a company's software update turns your computer into a useless brick, should fixes be free? Framework, the modular computer startup, apparently thinks so. But it's not clear that computing giant Lenovo will go that far. Three weeks after a Redditor presented a nearly $300 repair bill for their handheld gaming PC - among other […]

Air cooling is reliable, while liquid cooling is visually slick. Which one you should use depends on how heavy you game on your system.

As I stated in my introduction , the first piece of work I did on Packet Sender was fix the Snapcraft build. What is Snapcraft? It has been a while since I've worked with Ubuntu, so I wasn't up to speed with how Ubuntu was now doing things like package management. As I understand it, apt and/or apt-get is still a thing, but Snapcraft is the new shiny. Snapcraft is more than just an app repository, though. It's a build system, dependency manager and a packager. Ergo, the vertical integration means you don’t have to keep multiple tools in sync. The Problem When building Packet Sender with Snapcraft, the product would build, link and run. But as soon as you ran it, it would crash with the following error message: /snap/packetsender/49/usr/local/bin/packetsender: error while loading shared libraries: libpxbackend-1.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory .dll(s) and .so(s) I grew up in the '90s. This meant that, unfortunately, I grew up in the age of Microsoft, meaning I started on PCs. While I remember Windows 3.1's UI, I didn't really start using computers until Windows 95. My first machine was a Windows 98 box. I tell you this so you know that I grew up knowing what a .dll is because I grew up using Windows. Simply put, a .dll is a shared library . The idea was that instead of having to compile common libraries into executables and thus bloat the size of executables and the amount of memory they needed, vendors could deliver a shared library that would be loaded into memory once and could be called at run time by any running process that needed them. Of course, Microsoft being Microsoft, this was poorly engineered . .so s 1 are the same idea but on *nix. Thankfully, they had time to learn from Microsoft's mistakes. What does the error message mean? Simply put, what the error message was trying to tell us was that when the code was compiled, we assumed the .so files would be in a given place, but they weren't. One common way to fix this is with

Valve just leaked several new videos showing the Steam Frame's unboxing, setup process, and various accessories. The videos apparently appeared on the ARM Steam client following an update, but they were "quickly pulled after that," according to the Steam Hardware Updates account on X. The Steam Frame is Valve's virtual-reality headset that can stream games […]

Netflix has described how it redesigned the streaming pipeline behind Service Topology, its real-time service dependencies map, to support production scale. The system uses three stages to separate intermediary resolution from enrichment and persistence, propagates backpressure to Kafka rather than dropping records, and uses server-sent events instead of gRPC for high-volume internal transfers.
