While other gaming handhelds like the ROG Ally are also fantastic options, their Windows operating system is far more clunky to use.With Valve now opening SteamOS to third-party companies, devices like the Lenovo Legion GO are able to offer Windows-less versions of their devices. For HP executive Josephine Tan, this is the way forward for all PC gaming handhelds.HPs Steam Deck clone will run SteamOSIn a since-removed interview with XDA developers, archived here, Tan explained that the clunky nature of Windows 10 and 11 turned HP away from making its own handheld for gamers.If I dont like it, I dont know how to do a product for it, the executive said.With SteamOS offering a very simple setup for users who just want to play games, HP is now finally looking to jump into the fray with its own handheld. However, if it releases, the company needs to use Valves operating system instead of Windows.When asked if HP would be interested in making a gaming handheld running on Valves operating system, Tan responded with a simple yes.While the Steam Deck is nowhere near as successful as, say, a Nintendo Switch, the handheld has sent waves through the hardware industry. Before now, Windows was always the OS of choice for PC handhelds like the GPD Win, but the Microsoft lead is ever-so-slightly slimming due to Valves Linux dedication.As Proton compatibility improves and companies like Ubisoft specifically target the Deck for new games, theres a long life ahead for the system. But, even better, theres an even longer life ahead for SteamOS.For more Steam Deck news, read about the reason why Valve wont be releasing constant revisions for the device.Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

Video: Advanced Suspension Armature By BuyingZebra on March 27, 2025 Video Discover how BuyingZebra's advanced suspension armature utilizes Blender's rigid body constraints to create realistic, physics-driven vehicle animations.I have developed this armature using my tank armature as the foundation. Using the default bone constraints default bone constraints (with no drivers), the leaf springs (as well as the shackles and hinges) function like the actual suspension system IRL. Although the animations are procedural, physics were introduced into this armature to further accent the animation making the movements feel more natural.

Maybe? Finally?The Hollow Knight: Silksong horde is stirring up again amid claims todays Nintendo Direct will feature a third-party game that will cause a lot of conversationHow many times has the world got to teach you this lesson, veteran skongers?Image credit: Nintendo/Team Cherry News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on March 27, 2025 Yep, they're letting themselves be set up for potential heartbreak again. It's the gang of folks who just really want to play Hollow Knight: Silksong, and this time a mysterious comment that may or may not be hinting at their game showing up at today's March 27 Nintendo Direct.That said, they've at least got more than just these words as a reson to think something Silksongy might actually be about to happen - possibly, maybe, potentially, perhaps, there is a less than 0% chance. Remember, Xbox recently mentioned Silksong in cheeky blog post fashion, and then there were those Steam updates that, among other things, suggested it'll be coming to GeForce Now.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. So, what's kicked Hornet's nest this time? Well, it's that pesky Jeff Grubb from Giant Bomb, with his funny jokes and nice smile. During a recent Power Block livestream, about 20 minutes in, he said the following regarding today's March 27 Nintendo showcase: "I wonder how I can phrase this. The reason I heard about a [Nintendo] Direct originally is because of a a partner game and I think that when we get out of this Direct if, no matter what is the most exciting game there will be one game that causes the most conversation and it won't be about Nintendo necessarily. That's all I can say, I'm sorry for teasing it." Could this be Silksong? byu/Smart-Pension-5198 inSilksongTo see this content please enable targeting cookies.Naturally, the Silksong hive have assumed this comment to be about Team Cherry's game, since it fits the billing of being a third-party game set to hit the Switch that would have a reason to cause a lot of chatter - that being that it has already throughout this whole up and down saga of waiting for any news on it. Cue posts yelling things like "Could this be Silksong?" and sharing memes to that effect. There's also one poster urging the hive of skongers to "Please be normal if the game isn't shown tomorrow."No chance mate. They've been waiting since at least 2019, to be fair, and endured stuff like cake theories. They will not chill out, they will not be un-hyped. They're on this rollercoaster until the game's out or for life if never does, and you will not stop them from pre-emptively going 'Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' every time they get to a climb that feels like it could be teeing up a plunge into the fast bit they've been waiting for.Have you hopped on the Silksong hope rollercoaster ahead of today's Direct, and do you think it'll show up? Let us know below!

Image: PlayStackEver since its release and subsequent success in 2024, indie hit Balatro has garnered attention for a somewhat surprising and amusing reason. That being how you're actually supposed to pronounce the title correctly. Is it 'Bah-LAH-trow'? 'BAH-luh-trow'? 'Bay-LAH-troo'? Yeah okay, no one's saying that last one...Well, we now have an official answer courtesy of Stephen Totilo over at Game File (thanks, Push Square). While at GDC, Totilo met with Naman Budhwar, head of video marketing at Balatro publisher PlayStack. According to Budwar, Balatro developer LocalThunk pronounced the game 'BAH-luh-trow'. We don't know about you, but we've been pronouncing it 'Bah-LAH-trow' this whole time.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube800kWatch on YouTube So, chances are you've been getting it wrong, but don't fret, because Budwar says that LocalThunk "doesn't really mind" how folks pronounce it. We can't imagine he ever considered that the game's pronunciation would be such a hot topic while knee-deep in development, but there you go! You can click through to the above Game File link to listen to a short audio clip of the pronunciation too, if you wish.In a separate reveal from PlayStack's communications director Wout van Halderen, it turns out that LocalThunk's anonymity is for the simple reason that the developer simply wants to be left alone to create his games. Yeah, no Banksy-inspired conspiracy theories here, folks. It's no big ruseFrom inception to launchHow have you been pronouncing Balatro so far? Will you be changing anything in light of this news?

carloscastilla - FotoliaNewsResearch team demonstrates certified quantum randomnessA 56-qubit trapped ion quantum computer from Quantinuum has demonstrated quantum supremacy as a random number generatorByCliff Saran,Managing EditorPublished: 27 Mar 2025 10:01 A team of researchers have published a paper in which they show that a quantum computer can produce certified randomness, which has numerous application areas such as in cryptography.According to the paper, published in Nature, random-number generation is a natural task to demonstrate quantum computings supremacy over traditional, classical computing, as randomness is intrinsic to quantum mechanics.One of the researchers, Marco Pistoia, head of global technology applied research and a distinguished engineer at JPMorgan Chase, said that applications of certified randomness include cryptography, solving complex mathematical problems, and fairness and privacy.The paper in Nature notes that the main challenge for any application or device that needs to receive randomness from a third-party provider, such as a hardware security module, is that it needs to verify that the bits received are truly random and freshly generated.The team of researchers from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Texas at Austin used a technique known as Random Circuit Sampling (RCS). RCS is used to perform a certified-randomness-expansion protocol, which outputs more randomness than it takes as input. It is a task that is often used to demonstrate quantum supremacy since it cannot be achieved on a classical computer.Scott Aaronson, Schlumberger centennial chair of computer science and director of the Quantum Information Center at The University of Texas at Austin, said: When I first proposed my certified randomness protocol in 2018, I had no idea how long Id need to wait to see an experimental demonstration of it.Using a 56-qubit Quantinuum System Model H2 trapped-ion quantum computer, the researchers demonstrated that a quantum computer can now achieve computational power beyond that offered by the most powerful classical supercomputers. Accessing H2 remotely over the internet, the team generated certifiably random bits.The randomness was checked using Frontier, Summit, Perlmutter and Polaris supercomputers equipped with graphics processing units (GPUs), which are especially suitable for quantum circuit simulations. With a combined sustained performance of 1.1 ExaFLOPS from the supercomputers, the team certified 71,313 bits of entropy, a measure of randomness.Discussing the breakthrough, Aaronson said: This is a first step toward using quantum computers to generate certified random bits for actual cryptographic applications.Pistoia added: This work marks a major milestone in quantum computing, demonstrating a solution to a real-world challenge using a quantum computer beyond the capabilities of classical supercomputers today.Rajeeb Hazra, president and CEO of Quantinuum, said: Our application of certified quantum randomness sets a new standard for delivering robust quantum security and enabling advanced simulations across industries like finance, manufacturing and beyond.Travis Humble, director of the Quantum Computing User Program, and director of the Quantum Science Center, both at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, added: These results in quantum computing were enabled by the world-leading US Department of Energy computing facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Such pioneering efforts push the frontiers of computing and provide valuable insights into the intersection of quantum computing and high-performance computing.Read more quantum computing storiesRevised roadmap projects quantum advantage by 2029: Quantinuum is planning to develop a machine called Apollo by 2029, which it claims will have enough logical qubits to perform complex calculations.Quantum innovation balances on commercial tightrope: While there is plenty of innovation in quantum technology, the industry needs greater collaboration to develop commercially viable systems.In The Current Issue:Can a future digital NHS survive another change?Digital twins drive efficiency across machines and infrastructureDownload Current IssueSLM series - Digital Workforce: Beyond hallucinations & anthropomorphisation CW Developer NetworkData Engineering Hidden dangers in the dash to AI CW Developer NetworkView All Blogs
