    Nvidia’s latest GPU driver fixes just a few bugs.

    Its recent updates addressed a slew of problems that have emerged following the launch of Nvidia’s RTX-50 series cards in January.

    Paramount says it’s still on track to merge with Skydance.

    Despite President Trump’s lawsuits targeting the Paramount-owned CBS and 60 Minutes, the company said in its earnings report that it expects its deal with Skydance to close in the first half of this year. The WSJ reported in January that Paramount considered settling the lawsuit to “reduce friction” with the administration, and now both parties have begun mediation.

    FCC Chair Brendan Carr has also suggested that the agency won’t approve mergers for companies with DEI policies, while specifically mentioning Paramount’s deal with Skydance, Bloomberg reported.

    Disney CEO Bob Iger says the successs of Thunderbolts* reflects a more focused Marvel.

    During Disney’s earnings call on Wednesday, Iger admitted the company “lost a little focus” by making too many Marvel films. He added that Thunderbolts* is the “first and best” example of a more consolidated and focused Marvel:

    We all know that in our zeal to flood our streaming platform with more content, that we turned to all of our creative engines, including Marvel, and had them produce a lot more. We’ve also learned over time that quantity does not necessarily beget quality.
