  • Indycar Racing 2 Gets HD Graphics Upgrade and Modern Force-Feedback Mod
    October 20, 2025, 3:48 AM EDT. Retro-enthusiasts are reviving Indycar Racing 2 (1995) with two standout mods. A wrapper by sharangad translates the vintage Rendition API to modern hardware, letting the DOS classic splash into HD resolutions on current monitors. While textures aren't being upscaled, the effect is a dramatic visual upgrade that preserves the original's pixel art. Separately, a mod by GPLaps feeds physics data from game memory to a modern force-feedback wheel, letting players actually feel skids and traction-decades ahead of keyboard-only play. The community-driven effort, highlighted by TedMeat's video and tips from Keith Olson, shows how fans keep old favorites alive through dedicated hacking and remasters.
  • Honor Magic 8 Pro camera outshines iPhone 17 Pro Max with 200MP periscope and 5.5-stop stabilization
    October 20, 2025, 3:46 AM EDT. Honor Magic 8 Pro reportedly tops the iPhone 17 Pro Max in imaging specs, thanks to a 200MP periscope telephoto with PDAF, OIS and 3.7x optical zoom, plus the industry's first CIPA 5.5-stop image stabilization. By contrast, the iPhone 17 Pro Max uses a 48MP telephoto with 4x zoom. Honor's AiMAGE Nox Engine and a 1/1.4-inch sensor with f/2.6 aperture help deliver clearer, brighter, and more detailed night shots. The setup includes a multi-directional system and advances like OIS. Honor even staged a helicopter zoom camera test at night comparing the Magic 8 Pro to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. If verified, the Magic 8 Pro could challenge most Max-class devices for photography.
  • Satellite communications exposed: unencrypted traffic can be intercepted by anyone
    October 20, 2025, 3:44 AM EDT. Researchers from the University of California and University of Maryland revealed a vulnerability in satellite communications: many transmissions were collected unencrypted for years. A standard amateur radio receiver could intercept private calls, SMS from mobile networks, airplane Wi-Fi data, critical commands for power grids and oil platforms, and even military and police reports. The finding shatters the view that satellite links are inherently secure and shows how easily data can be exposed or manipulated, including the risk of fake base stations spoofing signals. Only 15% of traffic was analyzed, implying the real scale may be far larger. In response, carriers like T-Mobile and AT&T have begun implementing encryption; researchers have released tools for independent verification. A coordinated, global push is needed to secure satellite links and protect personal and critical infrastructure data.
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 12in: a versatile Windows tablet at a compelling price, with optional keyboard and pen
    October 20, 2025, 3:42 AM EDT. Microsoft's new Surface Pro 12in packs a Snapdragon-powered Windows tablet into the smallest Surface form factor, delivering light weight and strong versatility. The 256GB model starts at £799, with 512GB (£899) and 1TB (£1,049) options; the keyboard (£149) and pen (£249) are optional, and a 65W USB-C charger adds £50. Cheaper than the new Surface Pro 13in, it lacks cellular connectivity and a display choice, positioning it as a competitor to the iPad Air and even higher-end tablets. Design leans conventional: 100% recycled aluminum, a built-in kickstand, a 9mm bezel, and dual 10Gbps USB-C ports with DP AltMode. It omits the audio jack and memory card slot, and the old Surface Connect port. Tablet weighs 650g; with keyboard and pen, 340g more. A versatile Windows device at a bold price.
  • Apple TV, Apple Music and App Store outage hits Apple services; status updated to resolved
    October 20, 2025, 3:40 AM EDT. An Apple-wide outage disrupted core services, taking down Apple TV, Apple Music, and the App Store for several hours. Users reported errors like 'There's a problem loading this content' while streaming Apple Originals, causing episodes to stop mid-way. Social chatter noted trouble with TestFlight, the Games app, and some iCloud Storage settings, pointing to a backend/storefront issue. Apple's system status page confirmed issues starting around midnight ET, with no firm fix timeline. The incident marked one of 2025's most impactful Apple outages, though updates now show the services as resolved.
