Austria's Federal Ministry for Economy, Energy and Tourism moved 1,200 employees to the open-source platform Nextcloud in four months. Germany's Schleswig-Holstein has already transitioned 24,000 of... Read more ›

IO Interactive's James Bond simulator 007 First Light has been delayed until May 27, 2026. It was supposed to come out in March. The company says two-month delay is for polish and refinement, which is fine by me. I'd always rather wait a bit longer for a better end product.

The eye-popping $100 billion of capital OpenAI wants in a new funding round has everyone wondering where that kind of cash might come from. The round would value the company at about $750 billion prior to the cash infusion, we’ve reported. U.S. financial investors—including big retail fund managers that back private startups—are likely to supply just a fraction of the total, say $10 billion, because even those with hundreds of...
