I've never been a big racing game fan having owned like 3-4 racing games since the Snes, but GT5 is making me considering getting wheel to go with it, lol.

You are not the only one. I love racing but up until this year there was nothing worth while IMHO. Now with F1 2010 out and GT5 coming I finally bought a PS3, wheel and seat. I am having a blast with F1 and can not wait until GT5.

I want to buy a steering wheel for GT5. The Logitech Driving Force GT seems like a popular choice, but does anybody have any other suggestions?

This is the wheel I chose. Mounted properly it is fantastic. Outside of this wheel you will pay a premium. After extensive research it is the best bang for the buck. Sure the G27 is awesome but it is also 2x the price.

With that Driving Force GT wheel, is the PS3 version compatible with the PC? or is there a specific PC version?

Looks great and you can bag one on ebay for ?50 thanks to GT5 being delayed.

IIRC all the driving wheels support the PS3/PC.

Yes. The logitech wheels seem to be the most heavily supported. If you are planning on getting a wheel be sure you have a secure place to mount it. I had mine mounted on a folding table and that wheel jerked that thing around without issue. It was hard to drive and felt bad. Once I mounted it to my Playseat it is a whole new experience. The racing is fantastic and my times on Prologue and F1 decreased significantly.

Can someone just clear up what the big hype is with the Andrian Newey Red Bull car? It's not the fastest, most superlative car in the world because it doesn't exist does it?

I could design a car to push 400mph with a nice enough jet engine on the back. This is just for GT5 is that right? People are talking about it as though it's a real life concept car.

The fuss is it *could* be made into a real car, remember the GT by Citroen? it was designed in GT and then built into a real car (that ultimately failed, but still it was a mighty fine effort all round!). That I believe is what the fuss is about, that the game is such an accurate representation of the real world you can design a car within it and then bring it to the real world and it would work.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
