  1. DDR4 Isn’t Dead Yet, as Chip Manufacturers Are Now Rumored to Delay Product Phase-Out amid Skyrocketing Prices

    That's when the hurricane/landslide/tsunami/earthquake/Taiwan invasion/Tariffs/bed bugs/walkout/famine/plaque/alien invasion will happen and hit 2 of the only 4 factories capable of making this stuff in the world. At the same time.

  2. Microsoft Lays Off Another 9,000 Employees, Bringing Its Two-Year Job Cuts Total to Nearly 27,000 as It Invests in Building AI Infrastructure

    Already starting to see some of the blow black from license plate readers tracking cars, and the loose legal requirements on obtaining that metadata. One side saying there's a right to privacy and data like this should only be obtainable with a warrant, and the other side saying your license...

  3. Microsoft Lays Off Another 9,000 Employees, Bringing Its Two-Year Job Cuts Total to Nearly 27,000 as It Invests in Building AI Infrastructure

    Work already put them in all the work trucks. It yells if you raise your hand up - thinking you are yawning and need to pull over. It complains if you have a drink from a can, thinking it's gotta be beer. It complains if you change lanes too aggressively.

  4. Next PlayStation and Xbox Consoles Are Rumored to Feature AMD UDNA/RNDA 5 Graphics

    I think at $1k, console gaming goes entirely to Nintendo. That, or the Xbox S edition makes a comeback. I know inflation is a thing and stuff costs more, but hitting that 4-digit barrier, when consoles used to cost half that... I don't think it will do well. Just look at how the PS3 did when it...

  5. Microsoft Lays Off Another 9,000 Employees, Bringing Its Two-Year Job Cuts Total to Nearly 27,000 as It Invests in Building AI Infrastructure

    Why can't we use AI for something useful - like programming traffic lights so I don't have to sit at a red light, with a bunch of other people also sitting at the red light, and absolutely no one is moving at all? Seems like some of that "climate change" money and revolutionary "AI compute"...

  6. NVIDIA Trots past Microsoft and Apple to Become the World’s First Company Valued at More than $4 Trillion

    It's not about gamers. It's about shareholders.

  7. AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Gets a Major 9% Performance Uptick with Latest Drivers, New Testing Shows It Besting NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti in Some Games

    I was just being a smartass but all you guys jumped on it literally hah

  8. From Cancelled Games to Closed Studios, There’s a Trail of Carnage in the Wake of Microsoft’s Layoffs

    9000 this go 6000 employees one month ago The carnage with the gaming studios is legendary: https://www.polygon.com/analysis/610779/microsoft-layoffs-perfect-dark-everwild-mismanagement Last year they shuttered 4 studios, including one that had a breakout hit This page hasn’t been updated...

  9. AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Gets a Major 9% Performance Uptick with Latest Drivers, New Testing Shows It Besting NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti in Some Games

    I would not be surprised if this is the case at all Also It takes a ton of resources to put together a card that’s not going to sell big numbers - mostly it’s just there as a halo product and bragging rights. Even at the margins it may get, I think AMD knows they likely wouldn’t be able to...

  10. From Cancelled Games to Closed Studios, There’s a Trail of Carnage in the Wake of Microsoft’s Layoffs

    It was always a matter of when, not if, with Microsoft I feel sorry for those involved, and hopefully it’s clear now - if you get acquired by Microsoft, if you get any buyout cash or severance offer, take it and run. If you don’t, get your resume polished up and start hunting immediately

  11. Windows 12 Is No Longer Expected This Year as Microsoft Prepares 25H2 Build Update for Windows 11

    Good question. Once I moved the Start menu back over to the left, the only way I can really tell W10 from W11 is the random list of trash that pops up if you hit Start

  12. Resizable BAR Could Be Left Turned Off by Default by NVIDIA Drivers on Some Systems

    I'm so out of it I can't even find where to enable it in the current drivers

  13. Next PlayStation and Xbox Consoles Are Rumored to Feature AMD UDNA/RNDA 5 Graphics

    You may not be fond of those games, but I couldn't presume to know if ~they~ are fond of them or not. I assume so, because they keep throwing money at them. Fond covers a broad spectrum - doesn't necessarily mean they have to be good games. Some people are fond of them because of nostalgia, or...

  14. Over 800 Games Now Support RTX Features as DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation Gets Added to New Releases and Older Titles

    Money always talks. Just tell a dev they get free support is often enough - throw in a bit of "optimization help" and it usually seals the deal.

  15. Next PlayStation and Xbox Consoles Are Rumored to Feature AMD UDNA/RNDA 5 Graphics

    It's all about the games. No one really cares about hardware specs. And Nintendo doesn't let other platforms play their games.
