• Plug and Play: Build a G-Assist Plug-In Today

    Project G-Assist — available through the NVIDIA App — is an experimental AI assistant that helps tune, control and optimize NVIDIA GeForce RTX systems.
    NVIDIA’s Plug and Play: Project G-Assist Plug-In Hackathon — running virtually through Wednesday, July 16 — invites the community to explore AI and build custom G-Assist plug-ins for a chance to win prizes and be featured on NVIDIA social media channels.

    G-Assist allows users to control their RTX GPU and other system settings using natural language, thanks to a small language model that runs on device. It can be used from the NVIDIA Overlay in the NVIDIA App without needing to tab out or switch programs. Users can expand its capabilities via plug-ins and even connect it to agentic frameworks such as Langflow.
    Below, find popular G-Assist plug-ins, hackathon details and tips to get started.
    Plug-In and Win
    Join the hackathon by registering and checking out the curated technical resources.
    G-Assist plug-ins can be built in several ways, including with Python for rapid development, with C++ for performance-critical apps and with custom system interactions for hardware and operating system automation.
    For those that prefer vibe coding, the G-Assist Plug-In Builder — a ChatGPT-based app that allows no-code or low-code development with natural language commands — makes it easy for enthusiasts to start creating plug-ins.
    To submit an entry, participants must provide a GitHub repository, including source code file, requirements.txt, manifest.json, config.json, a plug-in executable file and READme code.
    Then, submit a video — between 30 seconds and two minutes — showcasing the plug-in in action.
    Finally, hackathoners must promote their plug-in using #AIonRTXHackathon on a social media channel: Instagram, TikTok or X. Submit projects via this form by Wednesday, July 16.
    Judges will assess plug-ins based on three main criteria: 1) innovation and creativity, 2) technical execution and integration, reviewing technical depth, G-Assist integration and scalability, and 3) usability and community impact, aka how easy it is to use the plug-in.
    Winners will be selected on Wednesday, Aug. 20. First place will receive a GeForce RTX 5090 laptop, second place a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU and third a GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. These top three will also be featured on NVIDIA’s social media channels, get the opportunity to meet the NVIDIA G-Assist team and earn an NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute self-paced course credit.
    Project G-Assist requires a GeForce RTX 50, 40 or 30 Series Desktop GPU with at least 12GB of VRAM, Windows 11 or 10 operating system, a compatible CPU, specific disk space requirements and a recent GeForce Game Ready Driver or NVIDIA Studio Driver.
    Plug-InExplore open-source plug-in samples available on GitHub, which showcase the diverse ways on-device AI can enhance PC and gaming workflows.

    Popular plug-ins include:

    Google Gemini: Enables search-based queries using Google Search integration and large language model-based queries using Gemini capabilities in real time without needing to switch programs from the convenience of the NVIDIA App Overlay.
    Discord: Enables users to easily share game highlights or messages directly to Discord servers without disrupting gameplay.
    IFTTT: Lets users create automations across hundreds of compatible endpoints to trigger IoT routines — such as adjusting room lights and smart shades, or pushing the latest gaming news to a mobile device.
    Spotify: Lets users control Spotify using simple voice commands or the G-Assist interface to play favorite tracks and manage playlists.
    Twitch: Checks if any Twitch streamer is currently live and can access detailed stream information such as titles, games, view counts and more.

    Fortune favors the bold.
    Claim the mythical Grand Gold Coast Experience Scrolls reward, a rare item that grants a bonus of 150% Experience Points from all sources for one hour. The scroll’s effect pauses while players are offline and resumes upon return, ensuring every minute counts. Whether tackling dungeon runs, completing epic quests or leveling a new character, the scrolls provide a powerful edge. Claim the reward, harness its power and scroll into the next adventure.
    Members who’ve opted into the GeForce NOW Rewards program can check their emails for redemption instructions. The offer runs through Saturday, July 26, while supplies last. Don’t miss this opportunity to become a legend in Tamriel.
    Steam Up Summer

    Two worlds, one wild destiny.
    Broken Age spins a charming, hand-painted tale of two teenagers leading parallel lives in worlds at once strange and familiar. One of the teens yearns to escape a stifling spaceship, and the other is destined to challenge ancient traditions. With witty dialogue and heartfelt moments, Broken Age is a storybook come to life, brimming with quirky characters and clever puzzles.
    Each of these unforgettable adventures brings its own flavor — be it dark satire, whimsical wonder or pulse-pounding suspense — offering a taste of gaming at its imaginative peaks. Stream these captivating worlds straight from the cloud and enjoy seamless gameplay, no downloads or high-end hardware required.
    An Ultimate Controller

  • It's ridiculous how Home Depot is promoting a mere 10% discount while hiding real savings on their patio furniture, appliances, and power tools behind a facade of “verified discounts.” Who are they trying to fool? These promo codes for June 2025 are a joke! It’s frustrating to see consumers being lured in with the false promise of savings when, in reality, they are just pawns in a marketing scheme. Why can’t companies like Home Depot be transparent about their pricing instead of throwing around a measly 10%? It’s time to wake up and demand better deals!

  • Hey there, wonderful souls!

    Have you ever stumbled upon a piece of nostalgia that made you think about the little things in life? Recently, I found myself watching an old episode of "Hogan’s Heroes," and to my surprise, it was one without the iconic laugh track! It was a strange experience, almost like watching a comedy without its signature laughter echoing through the room. It got me reflecting on how laughter, and the joy it brings, is such a vital part of our lives!

    Charlie Douglass, the genius behind the laugh track, truly transformed the way we experience humor on television. His innovation allowed us to share in the joy of the moment, amplifying our laughter and creating a sense of community—even through the screen! Isn’t it amazing how something as simple as a laugh track can elevate a show and make us feel connected?

    In life, we often find ourselves in situations that may seem a bit odd or out of place. Just like that "Hogan’s Heroes" episode, we might feel a little off without our usual support systems—our personal "laugh tracks." But here’s the bright side: we have the power to create our own laughter!

    Think of every challenge you face as a scene in a comedy where you’re the star. You might not have a laugh track playing in the background, but you can definitely add your own humor to the mix! Embrace those awkward moments, share them with friends, and turn them into stories that bring smiles. Remember, life is too short to take everything seriously. Laugh at the little things, celebrate the silly moments, and don’t be afraid to find joy even in the most unexpected places!

    As we navigate through our daily lives, let’s carry that spirit of laughter with us. Let’s be the people who uplift others, who share contagious joy, and who know that every laugh counts! Whether it’s through shared experiences, funny stories, or just a warm smile, we can make a difference in each other’s lives. So, let’s spread the love and laughter, because together, we can create a world filled with positivity and joy!

    In closing, I challenge you to find a reason to laugh today! It could be a funny video, a stand-up comedy clip, or simply reminiscing about that time you tripped over your own feet. Whatever it is, embrace it! Let laughter be a part of your journey, and let’s cherish every moment we have together!

  • Laptops are everywhere, and for CAD work, you really just need something that runs the software without crashing. So, there are these three laptops that are supposedly perfect for CAD. They’re on sale, which is nice, I guess. But honestly, who has the energy to care that much about discounts?

    The first one is just a standard model, nothing fancy. It has a decent processor and enough RAM to handle basic CAD tasks. It’s probably fine for most people, though I can’t say it’s exciting. The screen is okay, I mean, it shows things. So, if you need to do some drafting, it might get the job done. But really, it’s just another laptop.

    Then there’s the second option, which is slightly better, I think. It has a bit more power, which might make it more suitable for heavier CAD applications. But honestly, if you’re just sketching out ideas, do you really need that? The battery life isn’t terrible, but you’ll probably still find yourself looking for an outlet halfway through the day.

    Lastly, there’s the third laptop, and it’s kind of a mixed bag. It’s got some features that are nice, like a touchscreen or whatever. But again, who actually uses that? The performance is solid if you’re into that sort of thing. But if you’re just doing the basics, you might not even notice the difference.

    So, yeah, these three laptops are marked as perfect for CAD. They’re discounted, which might be a reason to look at them. But honestly, if you’re not super into CAD or just need something to get by, any random laptop will probably do. Just pick one, and let’s move on with life.

  • Why is it so hard for people to grasp the absolute necessity of setting up 301 redirects in an .htaccess file? Honestly, it’s infuriating! We’re in a digital age where every click counts, and yet, so many website owners continue to neglect this vital aspect of web management. Why? Because they’re either too lazy to learn or they just don’t care about preserving their ranking authority!

    Let’s get one thing straight: if you think you can just change URLs and your content magically stays relevant, you’re living in a fantasy world! When you fail to implement 301 redirects properly, you’re not just risking your SEO; you’re throwing away all the hard work you’ve put into building your online presence. It’s like setting fire to a pile of money because you couldn’t be bothered to use a fire extinguisher. Ridiculous!

    The process of adding 301 redirects in .htaccess files is straightforward. It’s not rocket science, people! You have two methods at your disposal, and yet countless websites are still losing traffic and authority daily because their owners can’t figure it out. You would think that in a realm where every detail matters, folks would prioritize understanding how to maintain their site’s integrity. But no! Instead, they leave their sites vulnerable, confused visitors, and plunging search rankings in their wake.

    If you’re still scratching your head over how to set up 301 redirects in an .htaccess file, wake up! The first method is simply to use the `RedirectPermanent` directive. It’s right there for you, and it’s as easy as pie. You just need to specify the old URL and the new URL, and boom! You’re done. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, the second method involves using the `RewriteRule` directive. Again, it’s not complicated! Just a few lines of code, and you’re on your way to preserving that precious ranking authority.

    What’s more infuriating is when people rush into updating their websites without even considering the fallout of their actions. Do you think Google is going to give you a free pass for being reckless? No! It will punish you for not taking the necessary precautions. Imagine losing all that traffic you worked so hard to get, just because you couldn’t be bothered to set up a simple redirect. Pathetic!

    Let’s not even begin to talk about the customer experience. When users click on a link and end up on a 404 error page because you didn’t implement a 301 redirect, that’s a surefire way to lose their trust and business. Do you really want to be known as the website that provides a dead-end for visitors? Absolutely not! So, for the love of all that is holy in the digital world, get your act together and learn how to set up those redirects!

    In conclusion, if you’re still ignoring the importance of 301 redirects in your .htaccess file, you’re not just being negligent; you’re actively sabotaging your own success. Stop making excuses, roll up your sleeves, and do what needs to be done. Your website deserves better!

  • LibreOffice Explains 'Real Costs' of Upgrading to Microsoft's Windows 11, Urges Taking Control with Linux

    KDE isn't the only organization reaching out to " as Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10.

    "Now, The Document Foundation, maker of LibreOffice, has also joined in to support the Endof10 initiative," reports the tech blog Neowin:
    The foundation writes: "You don't have to follow Microsoft's upgrade path. There is a better option that puts control back in the hands of users, institutions, and public bodies: Linux and LibreOffice. Together, these two programmes offer a powerful, privacy-friendly and future-proof alternative to the Windows + Microsoft 365 ecosystem."

    It further adds the "real costs" of upgrading to Windows 11 as it writes:

    "The move to Windows 11 isn't just about security updates. It increases dependence on Microsoft through aggressive cloud integration, forcing users to adopt Microsoft accounts and services. It also leads to higher costs due to subscription and licensing models, and reduces control over how your computer works and how your data is managed. Furthermore, new hardware requirements will render millions of perfectly good PCs obsolete.... The end of Windows 10 does not mark the end of choice, but the beginning of a new era. If you are tired of mandatory updates, invasive changes, and being bound by the commercial choices of a single supplier, it is time for a change. Linux and LibreOffice are ready — 2025 is the right year to choose digital freedom!"

    Microsoft 365 security in the spotlight after Washington Post hack

    Paul Hill

    @ziks_99 ·

    The Washington Post has come under cyberattack which saw Microsoft email accounts of several journalists get compromised. The attack, which was discovered last Thursday, is believed to have been conducted by a foreign government due to the topics the journalists cover, including national security, economic policy, and China. Following the hack, the passwords on the affected accounts were reset to prevent access.
    The fact that a Microsoft work email account was potentially hacked strongly suggests The Washington Post utilizes Microsoft 365, which makes us question the security of Microsoft’s widely used enterprise services. Given that Microsoft 365 is very popular, it is a hot target for attackers.
    Microsoft's enterprise security offerings and challenges

    As the investigation into the cyberattack is still ongoing, just how attackers gained access to the accounts of the journalists is unknown, however, Microsoft 365 does have multiple layers of protection that ought to keep journalists safe.
    One of the security tools is Microsoft Defender for Office 365. If the hackers tried to gain access with malicious links, Defender provides protection against any malicious attachments, links, or email-based phishing attempts with the Advanced Threat Protection feature. Defender also helps to protect against malware that could be used to target journalists at The Washington Post.
    Another security measure in place is Entra ID which helps enterprises defend against identity-based attacks. Some key features of Entra ID include multi-factor authentication which protects accounts even if a password is compromised, and there are granular access policies that help to limit logins from outside certain locations, unknown devices, or limit which apps can be used.
    While Microsoft does offer plenty of security technologies with M365, hacks can still take place due to misconfiguration, user-error, or through the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities. Essentially, it requires efforts from both Microsoft and the customer to maintain security.
    Lessons for organizations using Microsoft 365
    The incident over at The Washington Post serves as a stark reminder that all organizations, not just news organizations, should audit and strengthen their security setups. Some of the most important security measures you can put in place include mandatory multi-factor authenticationfor all users, especially for privileged accounts; strong password rules such as using letters, numbers, and symbols; regular security awareness training; and installing any security updates in a timely manner.
    Many of the cyberattacks that we learn about from companies like Microsoft involve hackers taking advantage of the human in the equation, such as being tricked into sharing passwords or sharing sensitive information due to trickery on behalf of the hackers. This highlights that employee training is crucial in protecting systems and that Microsoft’s technologies, as advanced as they are, can’t mitigate all attacks 100 percent of the time.

Some key features of Entra ID include multi-factor authentication which protects accounts even if a password is compromised, and there are granular access policies that help to limit logins from outside certain locations, unknown devices, or limit which apps can be used. While Microsoft does offer plenty of security technologies with M365, hacks can still take place due to misconfiguration, user-error, or through the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities. Essentially, it requires efforts from both Microsoft and the customer to maintain security. Lessons for organizations using Microsoft 365 The incident over at The Washington Post serves as a stark reminder that all organizations, not just news organizations, should audit and strengthen their security setups. Some of the most important security measures you can put in place include mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users, especially for privileged accounts; strong password rules such as using letters, numbers, and symbols; regular security awareness training; and installing any security updates in a timely manner. Many of the cyberattacks that we learn about from companies like Microsoft involve hackers taking advantage of the human in the equation, such as being tricked into sharing passwords or sharing sensitive information due to trickery on behalf of the hackers. This highlights that employee training is crucial in protecting systems and that Microsoft’s technologies, as advanced as they are, can’t mitigate all attacks 100 percent of the time.
