Is Oblivion Remastered Broken On Consoles? Longer Sessions Lead To A Bevy Of Bugs

2 days ago | hothardware.com | Alan Velasco

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has been a hit for Microsoft, as the game has seen over 4 million players embark on the refreshed experience through Cyrodiil.

Hive Systems has released the 2025 edition of its password crack time estimate table, and it's a doozy. Among many other findings, the company's researchers calculated that all random passwords around 8 characters in length are easily brute-forced with only consumer-grade hardware.

We have to hand it to Apple, moving on from Intel's x86 silicon to its own Arm-based Apple Silicon hardware was a bold and risky move, and it's paying off. One of our first run-ins with Apple's home brewed hardware was the 2020 Mac Mini with an M1 chip inside. Now several years later, Apple's chips are even more powerful and efficient, and several modern Mac Mini systems are on sale. One in particular is the 2024 Mac Mini with an M4 chip inside—it's down to $506.28 at Amazon (15% off).

Are you holding on to an aging wireless router in hopes of stretching out the bang for your bucks?

It was around this time last year when I reviewed Razer's Iskur V2 gaming chair, which I'm still using as my daily rump-rester. At the time, I didn't anticipate that there might be first-party accessories for it, but enter Razer's new Clio, a THX spatial audio-enabled speaker head cushion designed to turn practically any gaming chair (including the Iskur V2) into a immersive sound station. It's basically a glorified headrest with built-in speakers, though that's selling it a bit short.

When everyone is digging for gold, the best business is to sell shovels. That's probably the motto of ASML, the Dutch company that makes the high-end litography machines for most every high-end chip maker, like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung.
