Nvidia to Cease Regular GeForce Driver Updates for Windows 10 After October 2026
Nvidia will end regular driver support for Windows 10 in its GeForce Game Ready and Nvidia Studio lines in October 2026. The first driver release that drops Windows 10 compatibility is scheduled for November 2026.
The company notes that it is outlasting Microsoft by one year. The base lifecycle of Windows 10 officially concluded on 14 October 2025. After that point, Nvidia will gradually phase out full driver development for the older operating system.
GeForce cards running Windows 10 will not become unusable. Installed games and applications will continue to work, and Nvidia will still issue quarterly patches addressing critical vulnerabilities until October 2029.
However, users will no longer receive full driver packages that include optimizations for new titles, corrections for graphics bugs, or the latest GPU features. Emerging technologies such as DLSS may also bypass Windows 10 entirely.
For gamers this means a measured transition rather than an immediate cutoff. Legacy projects will keep running, yet each major new release will increasingly signal the need to move to a current version of Windows.

GTA V Unofficial Browser Port Runs Locally via WebAssembly Using Leaked Rockstar Sources
Enthusiasts created an unofficial port of GTA V that executes the game directly in the browser through WebAssembly without any cloud streaming. The project compiled the original RAGE engine to wasm64 and built a compatibility layer translating DirectX 11 calls to WebGPU. Game assets were served over HTTP while JavaScript handled input and saves, and AudioWorklet managed audio. The port retained Euphoria physics and Scaleform interfaces but removed Bink video playback. Requirements ranged from 3 to 16 GB of RAM, supporting both story mode and free roam. The site was taken offline shortly after launch, first displaying a thank-you message and later redirecting to adult content. Analysis of the build confirmed debug symbols and developer file paths consistent with leaked Rockstar source code.
PKI Storm: Managing 100,000 Simultaneous Certificate Requests in Kubernetes Recovery Scenarios
A large organization's PKI infrastructure faced a critical bottleneck when a data center outage triggered simultaneous startup of tens of thousands of Kubernetes pods, each requiring mTLS certificates. The existing setup using ESAUS and Citadel routed all requests through external certificate authorities that could only sustain 50-70 RPS against an incoming burst of 100,000 requests. Average daily load of 10-11 RPS had masked the thundering herd risk during mass recovery. Scaling the CA 15x was rejected due to cost and the fundamental dependency on real-time signing. The team introduced pre-issuance of certificates stored in a dedicated Unified Secret Storage (ЕХС) layer that supports 14,000 RPS reads while the CA continues normal operation. This architectural separation of issuance and consumption reduced recovery time from nearly 24 minutes to seconds while shifting focus to secure secret lifecycle management including KRA key protection.
MinTsifry Considers Annual 10 Billion Rubles Support Package for Russian AI Development
Russia's Ministry of Digital Development is discussing a state support package worth up to 10 billion rubles per year aimed at local AI developers. The proposed funding would cover technology development, pilot launches, and compensation for computing resources. According to Kommersant, 8 billion rubles are planned for development and implementation while 2 billion would offset computational costs. Mechanisms under consideration include subsidized loans through authorized banks and grants covering up to 80 percent of pilot project costs in priority sectors. The initiative remains in discussion with no final parameters or launch timelines confirmed yet. Industry experts note that clear selection criteria and transparent reporting will be essential to prevent intermediaries and ensure fair access for independent teams.
