Crashes and Courage: 26 DNFs mark the 2026 Tour de France

184 riders started the Tour de France in Barcelona, 158 finished in Paris, and 26 DNFs were recorded—the second-lowest attrition of the decade. High-caliber riders like Jonas Vingegaard, Florian Lipowitz, Tim Merlier and Torstein Træen dropped out, including notable crashes that left several with injuries (Vingegaard/Lipowitz with fractured collarbones) and others like Chris Harper losing part of a thumb while Einer Rubio needed stitches after a collision on Alpe d’Huez. The piece lists all 26 dropouts and contrasts a relatively low dropout count with a race defined by dramatic crashes and elite competition.

Wet Giro Stage 2 crash forces neutralisation; Yates among riders hit

A mass crash on wet roads in Bulgaria during Giro d'Italia Stage 2 led to a 20km-from-finish neutralisation after riders slid on a left-hand bend; Adam Yates, Derek Gee-West, Michael Storer, Santiago Buitrago and Rémi Cavagna were among those involved, Jay Vine abandoned on a stretcher, and Ådne Holter and Marc Soler also exited the race, before the peloton reformed with 18km to go and the stage continued.

Starfield Crashes Hit PS5 and PS5 Pro During Launch Weekend

Starfield is crashing repeatedly on PS5 and PS5 Pro during its launch weekend, with Digital Foundry and Reddit reports showing lockups across modes; our tests found uncapped framerates can trigger crashes on PS5 Pro, but capping at 60fps and disabling the PSSR2 upscaler helps some players, though issues persist on base PS5 as well. Bethesda has yet to publish a patch, and the problem appears not universal but widespread enough to draw scrutiny ahead of fixes.

Starfield Crashes Roil PS5 and PS5 Pro Ahead of Patch

Starfield is crashing on PS5 and PS5 Pro for some players (not universal). In testing, crashes occur across modes; keeping the frame rate capped at 60fps helps on PS5 Pro, and disabling PSSR 2 has reduced freezes in some runs, but issues persist on base PS5. Digital Foundry also reported crashes during testing. Bethesda has not released a patch yet, leaving players hoping for a fix soon.

RAM bit flips blamed for up to 10% of Firefox crashes, sparking hardware debate

A Mozilla thread discusses a claim that up to about 10% of Firefox crashes are due to hardware memory bit flips, based on crash telemetry and post-crash memory testing. The discussion spans potential causes (overclocking, overheating, weak power supplies, Rowhammer, Dell hardware quality) and mitigations (ECC RAM, redundancy, watchdogs), with many commenters skeptical of the 10% figure and noting that software bugs still dominate Firefox crash reports. The topic highlights how hardware faults can influence software stability, but consensus on the exact share remains elusive.
