EnterpriseDB targets AI development with latest update

EnterpriseDB has introduced new features for its EDB Postgres AI platform, including a low-code/no-code environment for application development and enhanced data observability across various databases. The platform, launched in May 2024, integrates relational and non-relational data, automates data pipelines, and supports multiple workloads. The new capabilities aim to improve the success rate of AI projects, which face an estimated 80% failure rate in transitioning from development to production. The updates include tools for managing PostgreSQL databases in hybrid cloud and on-premises environments, Transparent Data Encryption for security, and an analytics engine optimized for AI workloads. EnterpriseDB's enhancements were influenced by customer feedback, focusing on maximizing the value of existing data and supporting GenAI workflows.

FBC: Firebreak review

Firebreak is a cooperative shooter set to be released on June 17, 2025, priced at £33, developed and published by Remedy Entertainment. The game features players as 'Firebreakers,' janitors in rubber suits tasked with resolving maintenance challenges while battling the Hiss, a hostile force. It is set within The Oldest House, the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control, and consists of five distinct jobs with various objectives. The gameplay emphasizes trial and error, with a mix of chaotic encounters and peculiar tasks, such as repairing air conditioning units and collecting sticky notes. Firebreak has been reviewed on an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with an Nvidia 2080 Super and 32 GB RAM, and is verified for Steam Deck. The game lacks extensive tutorials, potentially disadvantaging newcomers. Balancing issues affect gameplay, with fluctuating difficulty levels and some jobs being less successful than others. A clearance system intended to enhance replayability may lead to player fatigue. Despite its current challenges, there is potential for improvement with future updates.
