Over 30 fired Rockstar Games employees have lost a request for interim relief following an ongoing fight with the Grand Theft Auto 6 maker. A UK employment tribunal ruling read that it “was unable to conclude that it appears likely that the tribunal will find that the principal reason for the claimants’ dismissal was their membership of the IWGB,” meaning the legal battle will continue with no immediate back pay for the fired developers. The union representing them says it’s undeterred while a spokesperson for Rockstar said the company regrets being put in this situation and maintains the employees were…

The electric vehicle (EV) industry ended 2025 with a major shift. Sodium-ion batteries, long viewed as a secondary technology, have now become a serious contender in the EV battery race. Two major developments marked this shift: CATL’s commercial production of its Naxtra sodium-ion cells and Zhaona New Energy’s announcement of a high-density solid-state sodium-ion prototype. These breakthroughs could push sodium to the front of the pack in affordable and sustainable battery technology. 1. Sodium Clears the Energy HurdleCATL launched its Naxtra sodium-ion brand in April 2025. Mass production began in December, and the new cells reached an energy density of…

A smaller white dwarf star (left) pulls material from a larger star into a swirling accretion disk in this artist’s concept released Nov. 19, 2025, to illustrate the first use of NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarization Explorer) to study a white dwarf star. IXPE spent nearly one week focused on EX Hydrae, a white dwarf star system located in the constellation Hydra, approximately 200 light-years from Earth. Using IXPE’s unique X-ray polarization capability, astronomers examined the star, unlocking the geometry of energetic binary systems. Read more about EX Hydrae and IXPE.

Now that the winter holidays are well and truly past, now’s the perfect time to take stock of your tech setup. If you were gifted (or gifted yourself) some new gear in December, make sure that you’ve got the proper accessories to keep that gear performing at its best. If a new way to power all those batteries would be a benefit, Amazon’s currently running a discount on an excellent wireless charging pad. The is on sale for $95. That’s only a little bit above the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the product (which was $90), and it’s still…

Nintendo says it’s actively monitoring the impacts of tariffs and the rising prices of RAM as an AI-fueled scramble spikes computing costs around the world.  The comments came in a rare interview the Mario maker’s president, Shuntaro Furukawa, gave to Kyoto Shimbun, which was translated by VGC.  In it, the executive noted that the possibility of raising the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 due to future costs is hypothetical and didn’t commit one way or the other. However, he did acknowledge that AI data centers requiring large amounts of RAM, and the scarcity this situation creates, may become a…

Choosing between the POCO M8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A36 isn’t just about specs, it’s about deciding what kind of smartphone experience matters more.

In the days since a masked federal agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, right-wing creators and influencers like Nick Sortor and Cam Higby have descended on Minneapolis, filming protesters and interviewing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. So far, they’ve produced a steady stream of content that appears designed to paint Minneapolis as a lawless city, and the actions of ICE agents like Jonathan Ross, who reportedly shot and killed Good, as self-defense.“HELL YES! ICE just SMASHED a leftist activist’s car window in and pulled them out after they interfered in ICE’s operations in Minneapolis. MORE OF THIS!” Sortor…
