Second ISS air leak renews decompression fears in the Russian module

A renewed air leak in the Russian segment of the International Space Station—specifically the tunnel linking the Zvezda module to the rest of the station—has raised decompression concerns after earlier efforts seemed to fix the issue in 2025. The leak’s return is treated as a high-risk, high-consequence problem by NASA and Roscosmos, but crews continue ongoing operations as maintenance budgets strain resources, with the long-term plan to keep the ISS viable until 2032 and hand over to commercial stations in the future.

Nvidia's RTX IO: Enhancing PC Gaming with Faster Load Times and Smaller Install Sizes

Nvidia's RTX IO, a GPU-accelerated asset loading and decompression feature, promises faster load times, smaller install sizes, lower CPU utilization, and reduced texture pop-in in PC gaming. Tested in the game Portal: Prelude RTX, RTX IO demonstrated a 38% reduction in install size, significantly faster texture loading times, and decreased CPU utilization. The feature works on any DirectX 12 graphics card and supports Vulkan extensions. The potential benefits of RTX IO include optimization, reduced stuttering, and improved traversal in games that stream massive assets. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be one of the first games to support RTX IO on PC.
