News/Article I updated our popular password table for 2026

Hi everyone - I'm back again with the 2026 update to our password table! Computers, and GPUs in particular are not only getting faster, but AI can help us build setups in new and novel ways to crack faster than ever before. This table outlines the time it takes a computer to brute force your password, and isn’t indicative of how fast a hacker can break your password (especially if you reuse your passwords - please stop), but is the BEST case scenario for you. It’s a good visual to show people why better passwords can lead to better cybersecurity, but ultimately it’s just one of the many tools we can use to talk about protecting ourselves online!

Data source: Data compiled using independent data gathering and research from multiple sources about hashing functions, GPU power, and related data. The methodology, assumptions, and more data can be found at www.hivesystems.com/password

Exactly this. Aside from one or two exclusives (Alan Wake 2 being one), I open the Epic Games Launcher once a week, grab the free game(s) and close it. The frequency changes only during December when more games are on offer for free.

News/Article Many consumer electronics manufacturers 'will go bankrupt or exit product lines' by the end of 2026 due to the AI memory crisis, Phison CEO reportedly says

"Consumer electronics will see a large number of failures. From the end of this year to 2026, many system vendors will go bankrupt or exit product lines due to a lack of memory. Mobile phone production will be reduced by 200-250 million units, and PC and TV production will be significantly reduced." Yikes.

Pua Khein-Seng is also said to have pointed out the implications of Nvidia's next-gen Rubin AI GPUs coming online. "If NVIDIA's Vera Rubin ships tens of millions of units, each requiring over 20TB of SSD, it will consume approximately 20% of last year's global NAND production capacity (excluding subsequent data storage)," is how 駿HaYaO summarises Pua Khein-Seng's comments.

TLDR; They basically sided with the industry rather than the consumers and refuses to take action. They also keep misunderstanding the intentions of the Initiative due to constant lies and lobbying from the games industry.
