Sony Already Repurposing Last Disc Manufacturing Facility for Future Optical Technologies

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 64

Sony has already started transforming its final physical PlayStation game manufacturing facility following the company's announcement that future PlayStation software will move to digital-only distribution beginning in 2028. The transition is taking place at Sony's plant in Thalgau, Austria, the last remaining factory within the company still producing physical PlayStation game discs. According to Austrian broadcaster ORF Salzburg, the factory currently manufactures approximately 600,000 optical discs each day. Roughly half of that daily output consists of PlayStation game releases, representing around twenty percent of the facility's incoming production orders. While physical media continues to play a role today, Sony is already preparing the site for a future where optical game discs are no longer its primary business. Rather than closing the factory or reducing its workforce, Sony is investing in a large-scale conversion of its manufacturing operations. The company has committed approximately $30.1 million to install production lines dedicated to manufacturing precision optical microlenses. These components have applications across multiple industries, with automotive lighting identified as one of the first target markets. Precision optics are increasingly used in modern lighting systems, sensors, imaging equipment, and other industrial technologies, providing the factory with opportunities beyond entertainment products.

Microsoft Fixes Windows 11 Bug That Could Consume Up to 80GB of Storage

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 4

teaser

Microsoft has resolved a Windows 11 issue that caused one of the operating system's internal database files to grow uncontrollably, consuming tens of gigabytes of storage space on affected systems. The problem has been fixed with the recently released KB5095093 update. The issue was traced to Windows 11's Capability Access Manager service, a core component responsible for managing application permissions for privacy-related hardware such as webcams, microphones, and location services. The service maintains a SQLite database together with a Write-Ahead Log (WAL) file used to record database transactions before they are committed. Under normal operation, the WAL file remains relatively small because Windows periodically merges its contents back into the primary database. However, affected users discovered that the CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal file continued growing without being truncated. Reports indicated file sizes ranging from 70GB to 80GB, significantly reducing available storage space and, in some cases, nearly filling the entire system drive.

Samsung Prepares Budget PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD with DRAM-Less Design and HMB Caching

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 13

Samsung appears to be preparing a new entry-level PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD aimed at reducing manufacturing costs by eliminating the onboard DRAM cache. Instead, the drive relies on Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, which uses a small portion of the host system's RAM to store mapping tables and metadata normally handled by dedicated DRAM on the SSD. The unannounced drive surfaced after Samsung briefly published a product page on its website. According to the listed specifications, the M.2 NVMe SSD offers a 1TB capacity with sequential read speeds of up to 7,150 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,450 MB/s. Those performance figures place it close to many mainstream PCIe 4.0 SSDs despite its budget-oriented design. Samsung has not disclosed which NAND flash technology is used, but one specification stands out. The drive is rated for 400 TBW (Total Bytes Written), a relatively modest endurance figure for a 1TB SSD. This could indicate the use of Quad-Level Cell (QLC) NAND flash, which stores four bits per memory cell. QLC reduces manufacturing costs and increases storage density, although it generally provides lower endurance and sustained write performance than Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND. It remains significantly less durable than older Multi-Level Cell (MLC) and Single-Level Cell (SLC) technologies.

AMD EXPO ULL DDR5 Memory Launches with Prices Up to $1,099 (updated)

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 22

G.Skill's first AMD EXPO ULL (Ultra Low Latency) DDR5 memory kits have appeared at retail, although early pricing has created some confusion about the new product line. Initial retailer listings suggested substantial price premiums over conventional EXPO memory, with some configurations appearing significantly more expensive than their standard counterparts. However, according to G.Skill, the company's intended pricing for EXPO ULL memory remains broadly in line with its existing non-ULL product range. The first products consist of G.Skill Trident Z5 NeoX DDR5-6000 32GB (2x16GB) dual-channel kits, including CL36, CL32, CL28 and CL26 variants. While some retailers currently list certain models at considerably higher prices, G.Skill explains that these differences are largely the result of existing inventory purchased at different costs, combined with pricing from third-party marketplace sellers. As inventory normalizes, retail pricing is expected to better reflect G.Skill's intended MSRP structure. EXPO ULL certification differs from standard AMD EXPO memory by focusing on substantially tighter memory subtimings rather than only the primary latency figures typically advertised. One of the most significant optimizations is the reduction of the tRAS timing from 96 clock cycles on conventional Trident Z5 Neo memory to just 32 cycles on the NeoX ULL series. AMD's EXPO ULL certification also requires tighter secondary and tertiary timings, including parameters such as tREFI, tRRDS and tWR, which are generally not published in retail specifications.

Windows 11 KB5095093 Significantly Improves File Explorer Performance

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 26

teaser
Microsoft has released the optional Windows 11 June 2026 update, KB5095093, introducing a series of performance improvements focused on File Explorer. The update addresses one of the most common complaints among Windows users: the application's slow startup and reduced responsiveness. Rather than relying on background preloading techniques introduced in previous releases, Microsoft has optimized the underlying implementation to improve performance directly. One of the largest changes affects the Home tab in File Explorer. Microsoft has redesigned how content is indexed and loaded, reducing the time required to display recent files, pinned folders, and connected cloud storage. Because the Home page continuously gathers information from multiple sources, it had become a major contributor to File Explorer's sluggish behavior. The new implementation significantly improves initial launch performance and overall responsiveness. Although KB5095093 is currently available as an optional update, these improvements will become part of the mandatory Windows 11 cumulative update scheduled for July 2026.

NVIDIA Reportedly Cancels GeForce RTX 5050 9 GB Graphics Card

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10

NVIDIA's rumored GeForce RTX 5050 9 GB graphics card may no longer be headed for release. According to hardware leaker MEGAsizeGPU, the company has reportedly canceled the project as it prepares to bring back the GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB, avoiding potential competition between two products aimed at similar segments of the graphics card market. Earlier reports suggested NVIDIA was developing a revised RTX 5050 to address growing demand for additional graphics memory in entry-level gaming systems. Rather than using the traditional four-chip memory layout found on the existing GeForce RTX 5050 8 GB, the new model was rumored to adopt three 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules. This would have increased VRAM capacity to 9 GB while reducing the memory interface from 128 bits to 96 bits. Despite the narrower memory bus, the move to faster 28 Gbps GDDR7 memory was expected to deliver approximately 336 GB/s of memory bandwidth. By comparison, the current RTX 5050 features 8 GB of 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit interface, providing roughly 320 GB/s of bandwidth. In theory, the revised design would have offered both a small bandwidth increase and 12.5% more graphics memory.

GTA VI May Be Limited to 30 FPS on Current Consoles

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 75

As Grand Theft Auto VI approaches its highly anticipated launch, discussion has increasingly shifted from release dates and gameplay details to expected console performance. According to a recent technical analysis from Digital Foundry, Rockstar's upcoming open-world title may launch without a 60 FPS performance mode on current-generation hardware, instead targeting 30 FPS on both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The prediction is based on Rockstar's trailers, screenshots, and gameplay footage released so far. Digital Foundry believes GTA VI's most demanding workload will not be graphics rendering alone but the game's extensive world simulation. Advanced artificial intelligence, realistic traffic systems, dynamic NPC behavior, environmental interactions, and large-scale city simulation are expected to place exceptional demands on console CPUs, making higher frame rates difficult to sustain regardless of GPU performance.

Amazon Sued After Adding Advertisements to Prime Video

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 23

Australia's consumer watchdog has launched legal proceedings against Amazon, alleging the company unfairly changed the terms of Prime Video subscriptions after customers had already signed up. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) claims Amazon breached Australian consumer protection law by introducing advertisements to Prime Video while requiring existing subscribers to pay an additional AU$3 per month to restore the ad-free experience they originally purchased. The legal dispute focuses on changes introduced in July 2024, when Prime Video shifted from a fully ad-free streaming platform to one that included advertisements by default. Customers who wanted to continue watching movies and TV shows without commercial interruptions were required to subscribe to a separate ad-free option for an additional monthly fee. According to the ACCC, the policy affected both monthly and annual subscribers. Customers who had already prepaid for an entire year of Prime Video service reportedly found themselves paying more before their existing subscription had expired if they wished to retain the original viewing experience. The regulator argues that consumers effectively lost part of the service they initially purchased unless they accepted the extra monthly charge.
