Imagine an encrypted data chip so secure that even the greatest hackers in history would find impossible to crack. That chip is very much a reality thanks to the combined efforts of Siemens, Austrian Research Centers (ARC) and Graz University of Technology who have teamed up to create the first quantum cryptology chip for commercial use to ensure securer electronic communication.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Didn't they say that about the iPhone and the 360?
You know what will happen to these things?
Every hacker will try - and fail. Then, one day, when no one cares anymore, someone will just try some stuff out of sheer boredom - and that cracks it.
Even the law of statistics say that you can guess any random number of random length. The chances might be smaller than we can imagine, but as long as they exist, someone can crack it.
On a side note: People also never expected to crack the CPS-3. Today we have can emulate it (almost) perfectly, AFAIK.
EDIT: LOL, I just remembered my programming classes back in school. Actually, brute forcing your way into this thing is easy and can be done with one or two lines, as long as it doesn't randomize the number after each wrong key was inserted.
All you need is a loop starting at 0 and adding 1 everytime it fails. And a lot of patience. If it does randomize it however, you just need to be lucky.
where theres a will there a way!
I will crack it. Quantum physics is on my side.
Anything with quantum in it is very complicated. All of the hackers are going to have to teach themselves a lot of new stuff before they can even try to break it.
