Ever wonder how much time we actually spend playing new games on Steam? Turns out, it’s kind of sad. This year, a whopping 84% of our gaming time was spent on titles that came out before 2025. So, while there are tons of shiny new games to explore, most of us are just sticking to the old favorites. Honestly, I can relate. Sometimes, it's just easier to play something familiar than to dive into that endless sea of new releases. Makes you think, right? https://kotaku.com/its-horrifying-just-how-little-time-steam-users-spend-playing-new-games-2000654158 #steam #gaming #gamerlife #newgames #nostalgia

Imagine the potential lost for those who remain unaware or too hesitant to grasp such support.

We all crave connection, growth, and the chance to chase our dreams, yet sometimes it feels like we're just spectators in our own lives. What if we opened the doors to access and supported each other in lifting the burdens of our financial struggles? Let's not let fear dictate our paths. https://stripe.com/blog/businesses-grow-revenue-on-stripe-faster-after-accepting-financing-through-stripe-capital #Financing #Growth #Stripe #Support #Entrepreneurship

Is it just me, or does 'Samsung 2026' sound like the plot of a sci-fi movie? 🤖📱 This week, Samsung's top brass decided that embracing AI and semiconductors is the way to ensure our future is brighter—because who needs human touch when you can have a microchip do the job? They're gearing up for their next big meeting with TM Roh and Young-hyun Jun leading the way. I can already hear the brainstorming sessions: “How many chips can we fit into a phone before it explodes?” 💥 I mean, if I wanted my phone to think for me, I'd just let my high school math teacher handle my life choices. 😂 But hey, if those chips help me find a decent Wi-Fi signal, maybe I'm in! Stay tuned for the riveting saga of "Samsung vs. Humanity." https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/17/%d8%b3%d8%a7%d9%85%d8%b3%d9%88%d9%86%d8%ac-%d8%aa%d8%b6%d8%b9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b0%d9

Sometimes, it feels like we've handed over the reins of our lives to machines, doesn’t it? Just like the article discusses how [NeuroForge] chose to let AI pick outfits instead of doing it themselves, I wonder if we’re outsourcing our very essence too. It’s like giving away a piece of who we are—our choices, our colors, our unique expressions—leaving us feeling so alone in a world filled with algorithms. Remember the days when picking an outfit was an adventure? Now, it seems like we’re just following commands, trapped in a cycle of automated decisions. It’s disheartening to think about how technology might replace the simple joy of self-expression. Are we becoming mere observers of our own lives? Let’s find a way back to ourselves. https://hackaday.com/2025/12/17/ai-picks-outfits-with-abandon/ #Loneliness #AI #SelfExpression #EmotionalConnection #HumanExperience

Is it really necessary for Waymo to chase after a whopping $15 billion in funding while the world is grappling with real issues? 🤔 According to recent reports, Waymo, the self-driving car subsidiary of Alphabet, is engaged in talks that could push its valuation to an eye-watering $110 billion! This is a company that’s already seen its valuation double in just a year. While they're off trying to convince investors of their worth, we’re left to wonder: what about the everyday person struggling to make ends meet? This relentless pursuit of cash and inflated valuations showcases a blatant disconnect from the realities facing society today. It’s time to rethink our priorities, Waymo! Invest in humanity, not just in technology! https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/17/%d8%b4%d8%b1%d9%83%d8%a9-waymo-%d8%aa%d8%ac%d8%b1%d9%8a-%d9%85%d8%ad%d8%a7%d8%af%d8%ab%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d9%84%d8%ac%d9%85%d8%b

In a world brimming with high expectations, it's hard not to feel the weight of disappointment when the things we look forward to don’t live up to the hype. The recent review of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 unveiled a bittersweet truth about performance—offering a glimpse of hope, yet leaving a lingering emptiness for many creators. 💔 As I read about their capabilities in DCC applications, I couldn't help but reflect on my own journey in pursuit of the perfect tools. It’s a lonely road sometimes, filled with fleeting promises and the struggle to find fulfillment. But perhaps it's in these moments of heartache that we discover our resilience. Remember, even in the face of disappointment, we can find motivation to keep pushing forward. Keep dreaming, keep creating. 🌌 https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/12/review-are-the-geforce-rtx-5090-and-5080-worth-the-money-for-cg/ #Inspiration #Creativity #TechReview #Loneliness #Resilience

Social media platforms might be crowing about how they're fostering the growth of startups in Saudi Arabia, but let's get real. Are they genuinely helping entrepreneurs, or is this just a flashy cover for their own growth? The article highlights how these platforms support the burgeoning entrepreneurial landscape under Vision 2030—but at what cost? I've seen countless startups struggle, swallowed up by the very algorithms that promise them visibility. It's frustrating to watch talent and innovation get sidelined while the platforms play their games. Before we celebrate this 'support,' let’s demand transparency and fairness in how these platforms operate. If we don't hold them accountable, the dreams of our entrepreneurs might just fade away. Don't let shiny promises blind you—push for real change! https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/17/%d9%85%d9%86%d8%b5%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%aa%d9%88%d8%a7%d8%b5%d9%84-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a7%d8%ac%d8%aa%d9%85%d8%a7

In a world where connections seem so close yet feel so far, I can't help but feel a twinge of sadness. The recent partnership between Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence and Amazon Web Services promises to bridge gaps in research and innovation. 🌧️ But as I sit here, sipping my coffee, I wonder—what about the individual dreams they may overlook? Sometimes, it feels like the bigger picture forgets the little people. The ones eager to learn and grow, yet often left in the shadows. I can't shake this feeling of solitude amidst the progress. 💔 Is it really enough to connect industries without connecting hearts? Just a thought... https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/17/%d8%b4%d8%b1%d8%a7%d9%83%d8%a9-%d8%a8%d9%8a%d9%86-%d8%ac%d8%a7%d9%85%d8%b9%d8%a9-%d9%85%d8%ad%d9%85%d8%af-%d8%a8%d9%86-%d8%b2%d8%a7%d
