    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    The RTX 4090 I bought in early 2023 from Best Buy for $1,540 ($1,600 MSRP minus 10% coupon). It was my first flagship GPU, then I sold it in early 2025 for $2,000, which covered the cost of my RTX 5090. I expect the 5090 will run AAA titles at 4k resolution for another five-six years. So, the...

    Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police

    Fortunately Fort Collins (where I live) recently terminated its contracts with Flock and they've been removed from the city. Unfortunately, most of the rest of Larimer County remains infested...

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    Nice, maybe this time next year I can sell all of the components in my various systems to pay off my mortgage! My main office PC is already worth three months of mortgage payments.

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    My AW3426DW was delivered yesterday afternoon and I set it up with my basement system this morning. This 34" OLED has similar features to the 39". Succinctly, it really is as nice as reviews indicate. Text is noticeably sharper and the colors look great compared to older OLED displays I have...

    How AI will fail

    It's even more fun when it's the professor using AI to write an exam without checking the results prior to administering it to his/her students. I've seen that firsthand now twice, and have heard of it secondhand a couple times, too. (I am a university professor in STEM.) I'm as skeptical of AI...

    Will NPUs soon become useless silicon? — Windows 11’s Local AI is getting GPU support

    This made me laugh harder than I have in days, thank you! (The rest of your post is pretty much spot-on, too.)

    ISPs’ long nightmare of having to list all the fees they charge is finally over

    Do you like beer? Odell and New Belgium are both a seven-minute drive from my home. I pay $70/month for a gig up, a gig down, no data cap, the router, and local (that's 'Murican-speaking) support.

    ISPs’ long nightmare of having to list all the fees they charge is finally over
