The PlayStation 6, which sounds weird to say, may come with a handheld variant that takes the page from Nintendo in that it has a Switch-style docked mode for TV gaming and that they'll sue you if you even think about writing God of War fan fiction. The docked mode claim comes from YouTuber, Moore's Law is Dead, whose sources also provided him with the PS6 handhelds APU specs, which if accurate, would make it one of the most cunning edge processors ever in a gaming console. The chip's CPU cores are reportedly built on AMD's Zen 6 architecture, which is slated to launch in 2027, while its GPU uses AMD's also unreleased next-gen RDNA 5 graphics. Normally, consoles are built on chips and architectures that are at least a couple of years old by the time they launch, so developers can squeeze everything they can out of familiar stable chipsets. So we're not sure how much to trust Moore's Law is dead here. He's right very often, but it is a leak website. It's like Nintendo, you let them in once and then they sue you. I'm keeping my distance this time. Apple has stepped in and removed popular torrenting app, iTorrent, from Alt Store, PAL, the third-party app store. Apple was forced to allow on iOS in the EU because the EU gets it. iTorrent developer, Daniel Vinogradov told Torrentfreak that their distribution rights to publish apps had been removed, which an Apple spokesperson said was due to government sanctions-related rules in various jurisdictions. Meanwhile, another developer of iTorrent stated on GitHub that Apple removed alternative distribution functionality from iTorrent's developer portal without any warning and didn't provide a reason for the removal. This just shows that Apple does still have some control over what apps can and can't be on their device, or your device, through side loading.

Everyone's favorite punching bag, Intel, has confirmed. It has received the $5.7 billion it was supposed to get from the US government in exchange for the government getting 10% of the company.

They may put in a clause about making Intel do their laundry.
