Explosions have been heard at the Port of Sudan, a critical lifeline and entry point for aid, as attacks on the city continued for a fourth day in the latest confrontation between Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the country's brutal two-year civil war. The attacks have been blamed on the RSF by Sudan's army and by residents. On Wednesday morning, an army source told the AFP news agency on condition of anonymity that the explosion was due to a drone attack that was met with "anti-aircraft missiles". The Port of Sudan on the Red Sea coast had been a haven city hosting hundreds of thousands of displaced people since the war began and serves as an interim seat for Sudan's military-allied government, which has been at war with the RSF since 2023. The attacks on Port Sudan have increased fears of disruptions to desperately needed aid deliveries in the country suffering one of the world's most dire humanitarian crises, and where famine has been declared in some areas.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said that the market for artificial intelligence chips in China could reach 50 billion in the next couple of years, making it crucial for U.S. companies to have access to the country. "It would be a tremendous loss not to be able to address it as an American company," Huang said in an interview on CNBC. "It's going to bring back revenues. It's going to bring back taxes. It's going to create lots of jobs here in the United States."

Two chipmakers reporting earnings in the coming days will give investors insight into how demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure is holding up a few weeks ahead of Nvidia's results. Advanced Micro Devices is set to report results Tuesday after market close while Arm Holdings will give its earnings figures postmarket on Wednesday. Though chipmaking stocks have taken a hit this year -- the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is down 14% -- underlying results may show a stronger foundation for the AI trade than recent stock performance indicates. AMD shares slipped as much as 3.1% Tuesday, while Arm fell more than 3% before paring most of those losses. Part of that is because the engine for AI infrastructure -- spending from the biggest technology companies racing to build to utilize AI -- hasn't slowed down.

Sometimes, old games come back in style. Sometimes, they never come back at all. And sometimes they just keep coming back regardless of whether anyone asked for it. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the all-time champion in the latter category, having been ported and remastered what feels like 19 times now (at least we're getting Oblivion this time). But on May 5, Microsoft announced Gears of War: Reloaded, a new 4K-enhanced port of the 2006 Xbox 360 classic that's also coming to PS5. That's all fine and dandy, except Gears of War literally already got a remaster in 2015 called Ultimate Edition.

Minecraft is no longer (officially) available on virtual and mixed reality platforms. The change was confirmed in today's patch notes for the game's Bedrock edition following an announcement from developer Mojang in October. Those fall patch notes suggested that the platforms would be removed in March, so players who favored VR wound up getting a few extra weeks to fully immerse themselves in their blocky worlds. Removing entire platforms isn't a choice game devs make lightly. Especially when Minecraft's player base still numbers in the hundreds of millions at any given time, it seems unlikely that Mojang would take away virtual and mixed reality unless it wouldn't cause a serious disruption for its many fans.

In about two weeks, Google's annual developer conference will kick off on May 20. The event is probably the most important on the company's calendar, offering a glimpse at everything it has been working on over the past year. Judging from rumors and information Google has trickled out, I/O 2025 should be one of the more exciting tech keynotes in recent memory. Plus, for the first time, Google has spun out a dedicated Android showcase planned a whole week earlier. If you want to know what to expect from the company later this month, read on.

Zoox, the Amazon-owned robotaxi company, announced a voluntary software recall for its vehicles. The company had paused its driverless vehicle operations for a review following an incident last month where a Zoox car and a passenger car collided in Las Vegas. According to the report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the crash did not cause any injuries. CNBC reports that Zoox has resumed usual operations following the software update. "After analysis and rigorous testing, Zoox identified the root cause," the company said in a blog post today.

Microsoft is kicking off a slew of new and improved AI skills that it's touting as a "new generation of Windows experiences." In a blog post published Tuesday, the company described what's in store for Copilot PCs and what's heading to all Windows 11 users. Let's start with the skills that require a Copilot PC. First up is an AI-powered improvement in how you can access and change common Windows settings. Sometimes modifying a key setting is quick and simple; other times, not so much.

OpenAI has abandoned its controversial restructuring plan. In a dramatic reversal, the company said Monday it would no longer try to separate control of its for-profit arm from the non-profit board that currently oversees operations. "We made the decision for the nonprofit to retain control of OpenAI after hearing from civic leaders and engaging in constructive dialogue with the offices of the Attorney General of Delaware and the Attorney General of California," said Bret Taylor, the chairman of OpenAI. OpenAI had originally argued its existing structure would not allow its nonprofit to "easily do more than control the for-profit." It also said it needed more money, a mere two months after securing 6.6 billion in new investment.

James Harden scored 7 points during the Los Angeles Clippers' Game 7 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Nick Wright and Kevin Wildes discuss Harden's history of choking in the playoffs. NBA fans' viewing experience will look different later this year, but there will also be a touch of nostalgia. Last summer, Comcast/NBC Universal closed an 11-year agreement for the rights to regular and postseason NBA and WNBA games. Those games will be presented across the network's linear and streaming platforms beginning with the 2025-26 season.
