    15 Days of FREE Games from the Epic Game Store (2025)

    If we post alleged "leaks" all the time now, I will post the one which I came across too. At least every game in this list already has an Epic Store page, and it contains a fair amount of repeats: 12-18 Ghostrunner https://store.epicgames.com/p/ghostrunner 12-19 Outer Wilds...

    Asus won't warranty RTX 5090 Astral and claim "surface irregularity" under microscope to a Reddit User

    I specifically wrote why singling out ASUS misses the mark. Both Samsung and ASUS offload warranty handling to 3rd party companies, and don't keep those under control. They are all the same.

    Asus won't warranty RTX 5090 Astral and claim "surface irregularity" under microscope to a Reddit User

    It is not necessary to single out ASUS here, it is a general problem in the industry. I'll point to this previously discussed incident: Customer service technician was caught when he knived TV to deny repair claim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyWlACuhqNg It is absolutely the norm to...

    Apple refuses India's order to preload tracking app on new iPhones

    This is literally the reason why Google came up with sideloading restrictions to apps from verified developers. Tech support scammers are tricking unsuspecting smartphone users into sideloading malicious apps (which use accessibility functions to capture banking credentials etc.), and clicking...

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    Eh, that is not going to happen. TV manufacturers are increasingly adding USB-C ports with DisplayPort Alternate Mode, like HiSense did with the A5Q series (e.g. 40A5Q) back in 2023, and which has now expanded to the more premium U8Q series. Samsung also has some TVs with USB-C now, but I could...

    Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after 'proving innocence’

    It is kind of both I think. Some YouTubers got their Switch 2 banned after using the MiG Switch on their own cartridges, so Nintendo can detect that. It appears that doing this got the serial number associated with piracy. I think that the Switch 2 sells lots (and has already surpassed Wii U)...

    Intel CEO admits 'I've bet the whole company on 18A'

    Sure, because they Panther Lake team has painted itself into a corner by committing to Intel 18A. With Nova Lake they were smarter, and maintained the option to produce at TSMC. This means by Nova Lake the Intel chips will be competitive again. And Intel 14A will either work as promised, or...

    Microsoft Implies Windows 11 Has Lost Them 400 Million Users

    Windows Vista SP2 is practically identical to Windows 7 RTM with only some cosmetic differences. What was different is that until Windows 7 launch, manufacturers had their WDDM etc. drivers ready, and mainstream PC specs had caught up to the actual system requirements. So the first impression...

    Intel 18A Process Node Clocks an Abysmal 10% Yield: Report

    Willingness to spend top money for few % performance gain used to be true for most of the PC era until its peak in 2011, and is still true to some degree among gaming enthusiasts. Datacenter was always this way. Nowadays, no more. So this explanation doesn't hold water I think. On the contrary...

    Gelsinger out as Intel CEO

    LukeTbk understood correctly, ARM is a threat is because smartphones (fueled by ARM processors) have disrupted PCs. Average people no longer buy/upgrade/replace a PC as often because they do not use it as often any more. x86 is not suitable for the smartphone. Intel tried for several...

    Gelsinger out as Intel CEO

    ARM is not a threat in PCs (yet). But ARM is a threat to PCs Source: Asymco It is illegal in South Korea to say positive things about North Korea (presumably also the other way round). So South Korean sources could at most have bias towards the South.

    Intel 18A Process Node Clocks an Abysmal 10% Yield: Report

    What you call "fantasy" is precisely why antitrust laws exist. If all corporations were equally evil, then no single one should be allowed to reach market dominance. But no, it is only monopoly abuse which runs afoul of antitrust and leads to government intervention. And the remedy is ensuring...
