🎮 Gaming: Street Fighter 7 Rollback Netcode 3.0 Public Test

Street Fighter 7 Rollback Netcode 3.0 opens for a weekend shakedown: input delay sliders per platform, Wi-Fi labels, and server-side replay fixups for desyncs. My mid-tier laptop held 120 Hz in Training while queues popped instantly. Crossplay is on—bring your sparring partner and nerves.

🎨 Graphic Design: Sketch Variants 2.5 Simplifies Component States

Sketch Variants 2.5 introduces state slots, conditional visibility, and token-aware spacing. I rebuilt a button set—hover/press/disabled snapped into one component, and handoff exported variables devs can actually use. No plug-ins, no hacks; swapping themes now takes minutes instead of a weekend.

🔧 Hardware: Framework 16 RDNA4 GPU Module Ships

Framework 16 RDNA4 GPU Module clicks into the expansion bay for desktop-class frames on the go. I hot-swapped after lunch—fans stayed polite and Blender viewport felt buttery. USB4 passthrough and a beefier PSU profile round out the kit; upgradability finally looks fun again.

💻 Development: PNPM 9 Remote Cache Accelerates CI

Flipped on PNPM 9 Remote Cache and our mono-repo’s cold builds halved. The cache fingerprints lockfiles and reuses compiled artifacts across branches and runners. Minimal config, solid logs, and a “verify only” mode keep supply-chain folks happy while devs enjoy near-instant re-runs on tiny diffs.

📱 App: Google Drive Offline PDF Editing Lands on Mobile

Google Drive Offline PDF Editing finally lets you annotate, sign, and rearrange pages without a signal. I filled a rental form at 30,000 feet, then synced changes once Wi-Fi returned. Ink feels natural, text boxes snap to rulers, and a quick compress cuts bloated scans.

🤖 AI: Reka Flash 2 Edge Summarizes Screenshots Offline

Snapped a messy dashboard and Reka Flash 2 Edge turned it into a tight brief—tables parsed, key metrics highlighted, PII auto-blurred. It runs fully on-device, so subway commutes still count. Copy to clipboard, export to Notes, and a toggle saves reusable prompts for recurring reports.

🎮 Gaming: Gran Turismo 8 Ray Tracing Lands in Career

Gran Turismo 8 Ray Tracing finally hits Career with adaptive reflections that keep 120 fps intact on performance modes. Night rain at Suzuka looks cinematic without turning your car into a slideshow. Photo mode gains path-traced cubes too—wallpapers basically shoot themselves now.

🎨 Graphic Design: Inkscape 1.5 Live Corners Speeds Icon Design

Inkscape 1.5 Live Corners finally arrives: round, chamfer, or inverse corners with numeric precision and per-node toggles. I rebuilt a toolbar in minutes—consistent radii, crisp exports, zero plugin drama. Bonus: token export for 4/6/8 px ramps so devs stop guessing your “soft” radius.

🔧 Hardware: XPS 14 Plus OLED 120Hz Gets Battery Boost Mode

Dell pushed a Battery Boost Mode to the XPS 14 Plus OLED 120Hz, auto-dropping to 90 Hz on static screens and dimming per-pixel UI chrome. My café session stretched past four hours with Premiere exports humming. Color profiles and HDR stay intact—no washed-out compromise.

💻 Development: ESBuild 1.0 Graph Cache Halves Rebuild Times

ESBuild 1.0 Graph Cache fingerprints dependency graphs and reuses work across branches and CI. My monorepo shaved cold builds from 4:40 to 2:11, with instant re-runs on tiny edits. Flags are minimal, logs are human, and TypeScript diagnostics flow through without the cryptic vibes.
