Game Theory Explains How Algorithms Can Drive Up Prices
Recent findings reveal that even simple pricing algorithms can make things more expensive.

A User-to-User Resource Reselling Game in Open RAN with Buffer Rollover
The development of the Open RAN (O-RAN) framework helps enable network slicing through its virtualization, interoperability, and flexibility. To improve spectral efficiency and better meet users' dynamic and heterogeneous service demands, O-RAN's flexibility further presents an opportunity for resource reselling of unused physical resource blocks (PRBs) across users. In this work, we propose a novel game-based user-to-user PRB reselling model in the O-RAN setting, which models the carryover of …

Xbox had a terrible 2025: Microsoft canceled games and raised console and Game Pass prices, Costco stopped selling Xbox, and Valve's Steam Machine upstaged it (Devindra Hardawar/Engadget)

2025 was the year Xbox died
The Xbox brand effectively died this year. But can it be resurrected as a PC platform?

«Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead.»
This is the worst part about the use Gen "AI" in places of learning, people are (often unknowingly) cheating themselves out of being able to learn.

Tsja. That Flatpak of KeepassXC requires a higher version of QT5 than Slackware offers atm. There's a slackbuild available, but I'm not gonna use sw by an unknown author to store my pwds. Crack in the mirror. Appimage then.

Researchers just cracked a major clean energy challenge: producing hydrogen at scale without using precious land or freshwater.
The University of Exeter team simulated a floating solar system in Oman that desalinates seawater and generates 1,755 kg of hydrogen daily at $9.5/kg. It's a game-changer for hot-climate regions.

Off-grid floating PV-desalination system for hydrogen production
Scientists have simulated a solar-powered hydrogen production system comprising 32,050 photovoltaic panels, a pumping system, a seawater reverse-osmosis desalination unit, an electrolyzer, and a hydrogen storage tank. Operation of the system in Oman could potentially yield a levelized cost of electricity of $0.05/kWh and a levelized cost of hydrogen of $9.5/kg.
