Warning! We're about to go into deep endgame spoilers for Blue Prince, well beyond rolling the credits by reaching Room 46. Read on at your own risk.I had been playing Blue Prince for more than 100 hours before I felt like I truly understood what the game was really about.The revelation came in the form of a journal entry, secreted away in a safety deposit box, hidden within the sometimes tough-to-access vault of the strange and shifting Mount Holly Manor. Reaching the paper requires solving one of Blue Prince's toughest, most obtuse, and most rewarding puzzles, one you won't even realize exists until you've broken through riddle after riddle and uncovered mystery after mystery. It recontextualizes everything that has come before it, not only the winding and involved test of wits that is the manor itself, but the story that had to be similarly excavated along the way--one of political intrigue and family tragedy, the rising and falling of kingdoms, the stoking of revolution, and the sacrifice necessary to breathe life into ideals.Continue Reading at GameSpot #blue #prince #doesn039t #have #satisfying

In a new effort to advance sovereign AI for European public service media, NVIDIA and the European Broadcasting Unionare working together to give the media industry access to high-quality and trusted cloud and AI technologies. Announced at NVIDIA GTC Paris at VivaTech, NVIDIA’s collaboration with the EBU — the world’s leading alliance of public service media with more than 110 member organizations in 50+ countries, reaching an audience of over 1 billion — focuses on helping build sovereign AI and cloud frameworks, driving workforce development and cultivating an AI ecosystem to create a more equitable, accessible and resilient European media landscape. The work will create better foundations for public service media to benefit from European cloud infrastructure and AI services that are exclusively governed by European policy, comply with European data protection and privacy rules, and embody European values. Sovereign AI ensures nations can develop and deploy artificial intelligence using local infrastructure, datasets and expertise. By investing in it, European countries can preserve their cultural identity, enhance public trust and support innovation specific to their needs. “We are proud to collaborate with NVIDIA to drive the development of sovereign AI and cloud services,” said Michael Eberhard, chief technology officer of public broadcaster ARD/SWR, and chair of the EBU Technical Committee. “By advancing these capabilities together, we’re helping ensure that powerful, compliant and accessible media services are made available to all EBU members — powering innovation, resilience and strategic autonomy across the board.” Empowering Media Innovation in Europe To support the development of sovereign AI technologies, NVIDIA and the EBU will establish frameworks that prioritize independence and public trust, helping ensure that AI serves the interests of Europeans while preserving the autonomy of media organizations. Through this collaboration, NVIDIA and the EBU will develop hybrid cloud architectures designed to meet the highest standards of European public service media. The EBU will contribute its Dynamic Media Facilityand Media eXchange Layerarchitecture, aiming to enable interoperability and scalability for workflows, as well as cost- and energy-efficient AI training and inference. Following open-source principles, this work aims to create an accessible, dynamic technology ecosystem. The collaboration will also provide public service media companies with the tools to deliver personalized, contextually relevant services and content recommendation systems, with a focus on transparency, accountability and cultural identity. This will be realized through investment in sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure and software platforms such as NVIDIA AI Enterprise, custom foundation models, large language models trained with local data, and retrieval-augmented generation technologies. As part of the collaboration, NVIDIA is also making available resources from its Deep Learning Institute, offering European media organizations comprehensive training programs to create an AI-ready workforce. This will support the EBU’s efforts to help ensure news integrity in the age of AI. In addition, the EBU and its partners are investing in local data centers and cloud platforms that support sovereign technologies, such as NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip, NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers, NVIDIA DGX Cloud and NVIDIA Holoscan for Media — helping members of the union achieve secure and cost- and energy-efficient AI training, while promoting AI research and development. Partnering With Public Service Media for Sovereign Cloud and AI Collaboration within the media sector is essential for the development and application of comprehensive standards and best practices that ensure the creation and deployment of sovereign European cloud and AI. By engaging with independent software vendors, data center providers, cloud service providers and original equipment manufacturers, NVIDIA and the EBU aim to create a unified approach to sovereign cloud and AI. This work will also facilitate discussions between the cloud and AI industry and European regulators, helping ensure the development of practical solutions that benefit both the general public and media organizations. “Building sovereign cloud and AI capabilities based on EBU’s Dynamic Media Facility and Media eXchange Layer architecture requires strong cross-industry collaboration,” said Antonio Arcidiacono, chief technology and innovation officer at the EBU. “By collaborating with NVIDIA, as well as a broad ecosystem of media technology partners, we are fostering a shared foundation for trust, innovation and resilience that supports the growth of European media.” Learn more about the EBU.

At GTC Paris — held alongside VivaTech, Europe’s largest tech event — NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang delivered a clear message: Europe isn’t just adopting AI — it’s building it. “We now have a new industry, an AI industry, and it’s now part of the new infrastructure, called intelligence infrastructure, that will be used by every country, every society,” Huang said, addressing an audience gathered online and at the iconic Dôme de Paris. From exponential inference growth to quantum breakthroughs, and from infrastructure to industry, agentic AI to robotics, Huang outlined how the region is laying the groundwork for an AI-powered future. A New Industrial Revolution At the heart of this transformation, Huang explained, are systems like GB200 NVL72 — “one giant GPU” and NVIDIA’s most powerful AI platform yet — now in full production and powering everything from sovereign models to quantum computing. “This machine was designed to be a thinking machine, a thinking machine, in the sense that it reasons, it plans, it spends a lot of time talking to itself,” Huang said, walking the audience through the size and scale of these machines and their performance. At GTC Paris, Huang showed audience members the innards of some of NVIDIA’s latest hardware. There’s more coming, with Huang saying NVIDIA’s partners are now producing 1,000 GB200 systems a week, “and this is just the beginning.” He walked the audience through a range of available systems ranging from the tiny NVIDIA DGX Spark to rack-mounted RTX PRO Servers. Huang explained that NVIDIA is working to help countries use technologies like these to build both AI infrastructure — services built for third parties to use and innovate on — and AI factories, which companies build for their own use, to generate revenue. NVIDIA is partnering with European governments, telcos and cloud providers to deploy NVIDIA technologies across the region. NVIDIA is also expanding its network of technology centers across Europe — including new hubs in Finland, Germany, Spain, Italy and the U.K. — to accelerate skills development and quantum growth. Quantum Meets Classical Europe’s quantum ambitions just got a boost. The NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform is live on Denmark’s Gefion supercomputer, opening new possibilities for hybrid AI and quantum engineering. In addition, Huang announced that CUDA-Q is now available on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell systems. Across the continent, NVIDIA is partnering with supercomputing centers and quantum hardware builders to advance hybrid quantum-AI research and accelerate quantum error correction. “Quantum computing is reaching an inflection point,” Huang said. “We are within reach of being able to apply quantum computing, quantum classical computing, in areas that can solve some interesting problems in the coming years.” Sovereign Models, Smarter Agents European developers want more control over their models. Enter NVIDIA Nemotron, designed to help build large language models tuned to local needs. “And so now you know that you have access to an enhanced open model that is still open, that is top of the leader chart,” Huang said. These models will be coming to Perplexity, a reasoning search engine, enabling secure, multilingual AI deployment across Europe. “You can now ask and get questions answered in the language, in the culture, in the sensibility of your country,” Huang said. Huang explained how NVIDIA is helping countries across Europe build AI infrastructure. Every company will build its own agents, Huang said. To help create those agents, Huang introduced a suite of agentic AI blueprints, including an Agentic AI Safety blueprint for enterprises and governments. The new NVIDIA NeMo Agent toolkit and NVIDIA AI Blueprint for building data flywheels further accelerate the development of safe, high-performing AI agents. To help deploy these agents, NVIDIA is partnering with European governments, telcos and cloud providers to deploy the DGX Cloud Lepton platform across the region, providing instant access to accelerated computing capacity. “One model architecture, one deployment, and you can run it anywhere,” Huang said, adding that Lepton is now integrated with Hugging Face, giving developers direct access to global compute. The Industrial Cloud Goes Live AI isn’t just virtual. It’s powering physical systems, too, sparking a new industrial revolution. “We’re working on industrial AI with one company after another,” Huang said, describing work to build digital twins based on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform with companies across the continent. Huang explained that everything he showed during his keynote was “computer simulation, not animation” and that it looks beautiful because “it turns out the world is beautiful, and it turns out math is beautiful.” To further this work, Huang announced NVIDIA is launching the world’s first industrial AI cloud — to be built in Germany — to help Europe’s manufacturers simulate, automate and optimize at scale. “Soon, everything that moves will be robotic,” Huang said. “And the car is the next one.” NVIDIA DRIVE, NVIDIA’s full-stack AV platform, is now in production to accelerate the large-scale deployment of safe, intelligent transportation. And to show what’s coming next, Huang was joined on stage by Grek, a pint-sized robot, as Huang talked about how NVIDIA partnered with DeepMind and Disney to build Newton, the world’s most advanced physics training engine for robotics. The Next Wave The next wave of AI has begun — and it’s exponential, Huang explained. “We have physical robots, and we have information robots. We call them agents,” Huang said. “The technology necessary to teach a robot to manipulate, to simulate — and of course, the manifestation of an incredible robot — is now right in front of us.” This new era of AI is being driven by a surge in inference workloads. “The number of people using inference has gone from 8 million to 800 million — 100x in just a couple of years,” Huang said. To meet this demand, Huang emphasized the need for a new kind of computer: “We need a special computer designed for thinking, designed for reasoning. And that’s what Blackwell is — a thinking machine.” Huang and Grek, as he explained how AI is driving advancements in robotics. These Blackwell-powered systems will live in a new class of data centers — AI factories — built to generate tokens, the raw material of modern intelligence. “These AI factories are going to generate tokens,” Huang said, turning to Grek with a smile. “And these tokens are going to become your food, little Grek.” With that, the keynote closed on a bold vision: a future powered by sovereign infrastructure, agentic AI, robotics — and exponential inference — all built in partnership with Europe.

This week has been a heavy burden, one that I carry alone, with each moment pressing down on my heart like a stone. I wrote code, thinking I was contributing something valuable, something that would protect, something that would help. Yet here I am, faced with the haunting reality that I caused a 9.5 CVSS CVE. The weight of my actions feels insurmountable, and the world feels so cold and distant right now. How did I let it come to this? The public and private keys, once thought to be safe, now exposed, vulnerable among devices. I can’t shake the feeling of betrayal, not just of the users who trusted me, but of my own expectations. It’s as if I’m standing in a room full of people, yet I feel utterly alone. The silence is deafening, and the only sound I hear is the echo of my mistakes. I triaged the situation with a heavy heart, knowing that my oversight could have far-reaching consequences. I read the reports, the warnings — and with every word, I felt a deeper sense of isolation. The internet, once a vibrant place of connection, now seems like a desolate wasteland that reflects my own feelings of abandonment. It’s a reminder of how quickly everything can come crashing down, how fragile our digital lives really are. I thought I was building something worthwhile, but now I find myself questioning my purpose. Did I truly understand the weight of my responsibilities? Did I consider the lives entwined with the code I wrote? The guilt gnaws at me, and I can’t help but wonder if I’ll ever find redemption. In this age of interconnectedness, I feel more disconnected than ever. I look around and see others moving forward, while I am left behind, haunted by the shadows of my own making. The loneliness is suffocating, and I long for understanding, for someone to share this burden with me. Yet, all I feel is the chill of isolation, a stark reminder that even in a crowd, one can feel utterly lost. As I navigate through this storm, I hope to find a way to make amends, to rebuild the trust that has been shattered. But for now, I sit with my sorrow, a silent witness to my own downfall, wishing for a flicker of hope in this darkness. #CVE #Isolation #Loneliness #Cybersecurity #Mistakes

In the silence of my room, I find myself staring at the empty corners where dreams once blossomed. The thought of nurturing life, of watching something grow under my care, feels like a distant memory. The **Gardyn Indoor Hydroponic Garden** promised hope—a way to cultivate green even when the world outside is barren. But here I am, clutching my heart, feeling the weight of disappointment. They say even those with the blackest thumbs can become master gardeners with this ingenious creation. Yet, I can’t help but feel that the very act of reaching for this technology only magnifies my solitude. Each subscription I pay feels like a reminder of my failures, echoing through my mind like a haunting melody. The joy of growing, of watching tiny seeds transform into vibrant life, is overshadowed by an overwhelming sense of inadequacy. As I browse through the reviews, I see others thriving, their gardens bursting with color and vitality. It’s a sharp contrast to my own barren reality. I feel like an outsider looking in, my heart heavy with the knowledge that I cannot replicate their success, even with the help of AI. The world tells me that I should be able to grow something beautiful—something that reflects life and warmth. Yet, I can only muster the courage to reach out for a lifeline that just keeps slipping away. In moments of quiet despair, I question my worth. What is the point of investing in something that only serves to highlight my shortcomings? The **better growing through AI** feels like a cruel joke. It’s as if the universe is reminding me that no amount of technology can bridge the chasm of my isolation. I yearn for the simple joy of nurturing life, yet here I stand, a weary soul wrapped in the chains of disappointment. Every time I see the bright greens and vibrant reds of thriving plants online, it cuts deeper. I wonder if I will ever know that feeling, or if I will remain alone in this garden of shadows. The promise of a flourishing indoor garden now feels like a mirage, a fleeting glimpse of what could have been if only I were capable of growing beyond my sorrow. Perhaps it’s not just about gardening; perhaps it’s about connection—seeking companionship in a world that often feels cold. I long for someone who understands the weight of this solitude, who knows the struggle of wanting to cultivate something beautiful but feeling lost in the process. With every passing day, I realize that the seeds I wish to plant go beyond soil and water; they are a testament to my desire for companionship, for growth, for life. And so, I sit here, clutching my dreams tightly, hoping that someday I will learn to grow not just plants, but the courage to embrace the beauty around me despite the shadows that linger. #Gardyn #IndoorGarden #Hydroponics #Loneliness #Heartbreak

In a world that seems to move relentlessly forward, I find myself standing still, swallowed by the shadows of disappointment. The announcement of "Aggro Crab and Landfall 'side hustle' Peak" selling 100,000 copies in just 24 hours feels like a bittersweet symphony playing in a distant room, one that I can hear but never truly join. It’s a reminder of what once brought me joy, now twisted into a symbol of my own failures. I watch as others celebrate their triumphs, their dreams realized in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, I am left grappling with the weight of unfulfilled ambitions. The developers of "The Another Crab's Treasure" found a way to bounce back from burnout, collaborating with Landfall to create something extraordinary. Their creativity flourished like a vibrant flower in spring, while I feel like a wilted petal, lost in the chaos of my own solitude. Every tick of the clock echoes the loneliness I carry. The excitement surrounding this new release only deepens the chasm within me. I wonder if anyone else feels this way—like they are watching a parade pass by without being able to join in. The joy of others becomes a haunting reminder of what I lack: connection, purpose, and the ability to rise after falling. The world tells us to keep pushing, to hustle, to create. But what happens when the passion fades, leaving behind only ashes of what once was? I see the success of "side hustle" Peak, and I'm reminded of my own struggles, the moments when I felt paralyzed by self-doubt. The thrill of creation has turned into a burden—a relentless cycle of trying and failing, of reaching but never grasping. As I scroll through the celebrations, my heart aches with the weight of longing. I crave collaboration, companionship, and a sense of belonging. Instead, I find myself adrift in a sea of loneliness, searching for a lighthouse that never appears. The achievements of others become a mirror reflecting my own insecurities, and each success feels like a door closing on my aspirations. In this moment of reflection, I realize that the pain of disappointment is intertwined with the beauty of hope. Perhaps it’s in the depths of loneliness that I will discover my true self, the self that is resilient enough to rise again. Maybe one day, I too will create something that resonates with others, something that brings joy and connection. Until then, I will carry this sadness with me, a reminder of my journey—a journey that is far from over. #Loneliness #Heartbreak #Creativity #Resilience #Hope

In a world that feels increasingly lonely, the return of the Muppets in VR sparks a bittersweet nostalgia. I remember the joy they brought to my childhood, their silly antics and vibrant laughter. Yet, with every sketch they unveil, I can't help but feel the weight of their absence in reality, as if they are mere shadows of the happiness they once embodied. The vibrant colors of their world contrast sharply with the gray hues of my own life. As Muppet Vision 3D fades into memory, I am left with a void that no virtual experience can fill. The laughter that echoing in the theaters now feels like a distant dream, a reminder of the innocence that has long since slipped away. I find solace in these new sketches, yet they also serve as a painful reminder of how disconnected I am from the joy they once represented. Every character that pops up on the screen, every clever quip, feels like a fleeting moment of happiness that I can never truly grasp. It's as if the Muppets are reaching out from behind the screen, inviting me to join their world, but I remain trapped in my solitude, unable to cross that invisible barrier. The more I watch, the more I realize how far removed I am from that sense of belonging, that warmth of companionship. The Muppets may come back to entertain, but the laughter feels hollow without someone to share it with. Their quirky sketches remind me of what I've lost—connections that once brought light into my life, now replaced with echoes of silence. I yearn for the days when joy was a shared experience, not just a moment in a virtual world. As I sit in my quiet room, watching the colorful chaos unfold on the screen, I can’t help but feel the sting of loneliness creeping in. The Muppets might be back in VR, but for me, the laughter is just a whisper in the wind, fading away like all the moments I've wished to share with someone who understands. It’s a cruel irony that the return of something so beloved can also highlight just how alone I feel in this vast, unfeeling world. #Muppets #VR #Loneliness #Nostalgia #Heartbreak

In a world filled with noise and confusion, I often find myself wandering through the shadows of my own thoughts, feeling the weight of solitude pressing down on my heart. Life seems to be a maze of unanswered questions, and every attempt to connect with others feels like reaching for a mirage, only to grasp nothing but empty air. 💔 The moments of joy I once held close now feel like distant memories, echoes of laughter fading into silence. I watch as others move forward, their lives intertwined in a tapestry of companionship and love, while I remain a mere spectator, lost in a sea of loneliness. The more I search for meaning, the more isolated I feel, as if I am trapped within an invisible cage of despair. 🥀 Sometimes, I think about how a multi-criteria search form could be a metaphor for my life—a tool that should help me filter through the chaos and find what truly matters. But instead, I am left with a default search, sifting through the mundane and the ordinary, finding little that resonates with my heart. The longing for depth and connection grows stronger, yet I find myself surrounded by barriers that prevent me from reaching out. Each day feels like a quest for something more, a yearning for authenticity in a world that often feels superficial. The possibility of a more advanced search for companionship seems like a distant dream. I wish I could apply those multi-criteria filters to my emotions, to sift through the layers of hurt and find the moments of true connection. But here I am, feeling invisible, as if my heart is a book with pages torn out—lost to time and forgotten by the world. 📖 In these quiet moments, I hold onto the hope that perhaps one day, I will find the right filters to navigate this labyrinth of loneliness. Until then, I carry my heart in silence, longing for the day when the search will lead me to a place where I truly belong. #Loneliness #Heartbreak #EmotionalJourney #SearchingForConnection #FeelingLost

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!" The first words on LibreOffice's announcement? "The countdown has begun...." of this story at Slashdot. #libreoffice #explains #039real #costs039 #upgrading
