GTA 6 PC release date leaks, and it’s much sooner than we thought

GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. A potential PC version may be released as early as February 2027, according to claims from three individuals with alleged ties to Rockstar. Rockstar aims to release the PC version before the end of the fiscal year. Historically, the gap between console and PC releases for Rockstar games has been significant, with previous titles like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 experiencing delays of nearly two years and one year, respectively. Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, stated that Rockstar prefers to launch games on consoles first to serve the core consumer.

WhatsApp is eating 1.2GB RAM on Windows 11, even as Microsoft kills web app slop

WhatsApp for Windows, despite having a large user base of 3 billion globally and 1.6 billion on Windows, suffers from significant performance issues, including high RAM usage (400 MB before logging in and up to 1.2 GB while idling), slow message delivery, and a choppy scrolling experience. The app operates as a web wrapper using the WebView2 framework, which leads to inefficient resource consumption compared to native applications. Users across various hardware configurations report freezing, delayed messages, and instability. Microsoft’s Teams app also faces similar performance challenges due to its reliance on the same framework. There is a growing concern about the trend of developers opting for web applications over native ones, driven by a lack of trust in native frameworks. Despite Microsoft's push for native app development through WinUI, there is currently no native version of WhatsApp for Windows, while Meta has developed optimized versions for other platforms.

Microsoft’s bug-hunting nemesis extends vendetta with more zero-day attacks — Nightmare Eclipse publishes RoguePlanet and GreatXML local privilege escalation exploits

Nightmare-Eclipse, also known as Chaotic-Eclipse, has introduced two new exploits: RoguePlanet and GreatXML. RoguePlanet exploits a vulnerability in Windows Defender, allowing attackers to gain SYSTEM user access privileges by tricking a user into executing a script. This access enables attackers to execute commands beyond standard Administrator capabilities, siphon sensitive data, and install malware. GreatXML provides a method for bypassing BitLocker encryption by creating a specially crafted "unattend.xml" file and a "Recovery" directory on the Windows recovery partition. Microsoft has shifted its stance from threatening legal action against Eclipse and is now monitoring the situation, while Eclipse has postponed a planned mass disclosure of zero-day Windows vulnerabilities initially set for July 14 due to delays in developing RoguePlanet.

Tiger Data launches Ghost managed PostgreSQL service for AI agents

Tiger Data has launched Ghost, a managed PostgreSQL service designed for AI agents, providing infrastructure for coding and workflow agents to conduct large-scale experiments. The service features Fluid Storage, which uses a copy-on-write methodology to optimize storage efficiency and reduce costs by charging users only for modified data. Ghost also includes a "fast forking" capability, allowing users to quickly duplicate datasets for experimental environments. It is compatible with major PostgreSQL extensions like TimescaleDB and PostGIS. The pricing model is usage-based, charging users based on actual computing consumption rather than the number of databases created.

Windows 11’s CPU performance boost released today, enable it using these steps

Microsoft's June 2026 Patch Tuesday update, KB5094126, introduced the Low Latency Profile feature in Windows 11, aimed at improving responsiveness of core shell experiences like the Start menu and Action Center. This feature optimizes CPU performance by allowing it to quickly reach maximum frequency for one to three seconds during user interactions, enhancing the speed of actions such as opening the Start menu. Users must install the update and may need to enable the feature manually using ViVeTool if it is not activated automatically. The Low Latency Profile is designed to work without significantly impacting battery life or thermal performance. Other enhancements in the update include Shared Audio for Bluetooth headphones, Multi-App Camera functionality, and improved Task Manager capabilities.
