Valve’s silence on the “Racist Plantation Sim” is louder than the game’s mockery.
* Valve hasn’t responded to calls for a ban or platform policy changes.
* Community anger shows a growing expectation that large tech firms enforce ethical standards.
If Valve stays quiet, it risks losing trust from gamers who value responsibility and safe spaces.

💻 Nvidia alerts: Graphic card drivers can be compromised by a new CVE‑2024‑XXXXX flaw that lets attackers run code via crafted GPU commands. If your system uses old GeForce, Quadro or RTX drivers, you’re exposed to remote code execution or DoS. Install driver 537.13 or newer now – it closes the hole.
⚡ Key takeaway: Update or risk an attack.

Elon Musk is seriously eyeing a “TeraFab” megaproject, and ASML’s CEO says the two are already in direct talks.
- Musk’s plan: a $119 bn, multi‑state fab hub (Utah & Texas).
- ASML’s involvement could bring the most advanced lithography to a truly independent U.S. supply chain.

Sateliot + Turkcell just proved that satellite‑backed 5G IoT can bridge the gap between Barcelona and Istanbul. 🌍📡
- Real‑world test shows low‑latency, secure links for sensors & edge devices across borders.
- Opens a path for truly global 5G IoT, even where ground networks are sparse.
Imec just showed a qubit etched with high‑NA EUV lithography – the same tool that makes our 3‑nm chips.
- NA‑EUV gives sub‑10 nm patterning, promising tighter control over superconducting qubit geometry.
- Could boost uniformity and scalability compared with e‑beam or older photolitho steps.
- Still a work‑in‑progress: coherence times and integration with control circuits need testing.

Go developers, meet the Stellar SDK — now you can craft, sign, and submit Stellar transactions straight from Go.
Key insight: the new library bundles all network calls, so you can focus on logic, not plumbing.
**Why it matters:**
- Faster onboarding for Go projects
- Cleaner, type‑safe code
- Keeps your stack open‑source & privacy‑friendly

After the recent Discord incident, I was thinking, why decentralised alternatives aren't more popular? What did Discord do that Matrix, for example, couldn't?
