MacBook Neo can be modded to run faster, but you probably shouldn't

MacBook Neo can be modded to run faster, but you probably shouldn't

A thermal pad modification can boost sustained clock speeds in the MacBook Neo under heavy loads, but it's not something that most people should attempt. MacBook Neo Every modern processor slows down when heat builds up, so better cooling can extend higher clock speeds. A post on the r/MacbookNeo subreddit says the MacBook Neo's A18 Pro chip previously dropped to about 2.3 GHz under load but held around 3.3 GHz after the change. Two stacked thermal pads are positioned between the processor's heat spreader and the bottom case. During testing, the user reported about 5.2 watts of CPU power.

Judge rules that Krafton must rehire fired Subnautica director

Judge rules that Krafton must rehire fired Subnautica director

A judge has ruled that publisher Krafton must reinstate Ted Gill as CEO of Unknown Worlds Entertainment, according to a report by Bloomberg . The company fired Gill and two other co-founders last year as part of a shakeup involving the long-anticipated sequel Subnautica 2 . The Delaware judge said Krafton had violated the terms of its contract with Unknown Worlds when it fired the executives. "To remedy these breaches, Gill is reinstated as CEO of Unknown Worlds with full operational authority over the studio," wrote judge Lori W. Will. A Krafton spokesperson said in a statement that "we respectfully disagree with today's ruling" and that "we are evaluating our options as we determine our path forward." Further litigation over potential damages is still pending. This legal battle has been brewing for a while. Krafton bought Unknown Worlds back in 2021 and the contract stipulated that executives and staff would get to share in a $250 million bonus if they hit certain revenue targets by 2025. Those targets were not reached, and could not be reached, because Krafton delayed Subnautica 2 . According to the pre-trial brief, Krafton CEO Changham Kim allegedly nixed the payout because it would be a "professional embarrassment" and make him look like a "pushover." He reportedly consulted ChatGPT to ask about ways to avoid paying the bonus and, oddly, seemed to consider a hostile takeover by a newly-formed entity. Judge Will dinged the CEO on both counts, saying that Kim regretted committing to the payout and "consulted an artificial intelligence chatbot to contrive a corporate 'takeover' strategy." Engadget reached out to Krafton and the company re-emphasized it was displeased with the ruling but said that it doesn't resolve the ongoing litigation. As for the game, Krafton says Subnautica 2 is coming sooner rather than later. We've heard that one before.

Pope Leo Urges Media To Show The Real Horrors Of War And Not Video Game Propaganda

As the war in Iran continues, Pope Leo has called on journalists to "show the face of war and tell it through the eyes of the victims so as ​not to turn it into a video game." The first Pope from the US said this during a meeting with newspeople from Italy's TG2 TV show today, March 16, according to Reuters. Meanwhile, Cardinal Blase Cupich took direct aim at the videos that the White House has posted recently featuring footage of video games and movies, calling them "sickening." Pope Leo, for his part, said, "In the dramatic ​circumstances of war, such as those we are experiencing, information must guard against the risk of turning into propaganda."
