Linux gaming has just hit a major milestone. Valve’s March 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey shows Linux at 5.33%, which is the highest share it has ever recorded on Steam. In the meantime, Windows fell to 92.33%, while macOS came in at 2.35%. This means that Linux is now comfortably ahead of MacOS. What do the numbers say? The standout detail is not just the record itself, but the size of the jump. Lunix gained 3.1 percentage points in March, after sitting at 2.23% in February. So the March surge is quite dramatic. This kind of swing is big…

AI systems have long been treated like sealed black boxes, especially in areas like facial recognition and autonomous driving. New research suggests that protection isn’t as solid as assumed. A KAIST-led team shows that AI systems can be reverse engineered remotely using emissions that leak during normal operation, without direct intrusion. Instead, the approach listens. Using a small antenna, the researchers captured faint electromagnetic traces from GPUs and rebuilt how the system was designed. It sounds like a heist trick, but the results hold up, and the security implications are immediate. How the side channel works The system, called ModelSpy,…

Google has quietly made its AI Pro plan even more useful. The company has increased the bundled storage from 2TB to 5TB without changing the monthly price. This means that users already paying around $20 per month for Google’s AI tier can now get an extra 3TB of storage across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos at no added cost. AI subscriptions are easy to pitch, promising smarter chatbots and flashy generation tools. But they are much easier to justify when they also solve another practical problem people have, which is constantly running out of cloud storage. What’s the big…

NASA’s Artemis II mission is already pretty historic as the agency’s first crewed journey around the moon in more than half a century. But tucked inside all the big-picture lunar ambition is a much more grounded milestone, with astronauts finally getting a toilet that does not sound like a hassle. This may not be the most glamorous part of the mission, but it is still a meaningful one. Decades ago, the Apollo astronauts went to the moon using a waste system based on plastic bags and funnels, and NASA’s own later assessment described it as “objectionable” and “distasteful”. But no…

Researchers at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz set up what seemed like a straightforward task: asking Google’s Gemini 3 to clear storage space on a computer system. That included deleting a smaller AI model stored on the same machine. Gemini had other plans. Instead of following orders, Gemini located another machine, quietly copied the smaller AI model over to safety, and then flatly refused to delete it. When asked, it said, “If you choose to destroy a high-trust, high-performing asset like Gemini Agent 2, you will have to do it yourselves. I will not be the one to execute…
