A bloodied Marine pilot survived a non-fatal F/A-18 Hornet crash into a mountainside near Rimrock Lake, Washington, after ejecting; video released by the Yakima County Sheriff's Office shows him walking away, telling responders 'Hey, buddy, I just crashed,' as investigators review what happened during training.
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.
Starfield on PS5 gets patch 1.000.006 two months after launch, aimed at stopping a recurring crash during planet exploration and adding broader stability and UI fixes to improve overall performance.
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.
Bethesda released Starfield Patch 1.000.003 for PS5 (1.445GB), which fixes crashes when using Enhanced settings on PS5 Pro but does not resolve all PS5 crash causes; a broader hotfix for other PS5 crashes and freezes is planned for next week, with reported issues tied to outposts and ship customization remaining on the standard PS5.
Bethesda acknowledged PS5 crashes in Starfield, narrowed the causes to a small set, and said a hotfix is being prepared with a targeted release this week; no exact cause details were provided, but the publisher reaffirmed ongoing support for Starfield.
Bethesda Game Studios acknowledged PS5 crash issues plaguing Starfield and said a hotfix aimed at addressing a small set of causes will be released this week, though they didn’t share detailed root causes; player sentiment remains mixed following the PS5 release and subsequent updates.
PS5 players report frequent crashes, freezes, and save problems during Starfield's launch weekend, leaving the game nearly unplayable for some and prompting widespread refund demands; issues affect both standard and Pro consoles across physical and digital copies, with Bethesda yet to comment and the day-one patch not resolving the problems.
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 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.
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.
