  1. Thermaltake Launches White TOUGHRAM XG RGB DDR4 Memory

    I dont know why but I'm amused they have the Sandia inspired thermaltake cooler in the background.
  2. Netflix Cancels Cowboy Bebop after Just One Season

    I just dont understand most remasters/remakes/live action redos, whatever. If the original is considered good, what is the remake for? Unless you completely redo the story or do a different story in the same universe. Otherwise im watching basically the same thing with slight variations...
  3. Switzerland Legalizes 3D-Printed Suicide Pod That Can Be Activated by Blinking

    It would be a strange concept to have funerals where people actually witness their own funeral, and then at the very end they get into their coffin, perform their assisted suicide in front of everyone, and on confirmation of death are then immediately burried into the ground.
  4. Democrats Introduce “Stopping Grinch Bots Act” to Combat Scalpers

    Scalpers do not create shortages, they profit from them (unless you refuse to buy from scalpers, then from your reference point it does make the shortage worse). This is a bandaid solution for a larger economic problem. Shortage will still exist without scalpers. Not worth it. Grinch bots...
  5. TSMC Confirms It’s Collaborating with Sony for a $7 Billion Fab in Japan

    i believe 20nm to 28 nm range was the last cheap node shrink (price per transistor kept dropping to that point). after that it started to level off and even go up? can someone confirm this?
  6. AMD Launches Instinct MI200 Series GPUs, Teases “Zen 4” EPYC Processors

  7. MSI Unveils Gen5 PCI-Express Card for Future PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs, 128 GB/s of Transfer Bandwidth

    It's not really clear to me what this is? Is this just a passive board with pcie5 specced traces going from the pcie slot to an m.2 connector? Why x8? Are there 2 m.2 connectors? I only see 1. oh.. 128GB/s... ok its only x4. Also I just realized that the x8 physical connector clearly has no...
  8. Seagate Introduces Star Wars Beskar Ingot Drives, SSDs and HDDs Inspired by Mandalorian Iron

    just to be clear, sexual harrassment, misogyny, racism, cancer from smoking, and alcoholism are all better things then adults wearing jeans and enjoying toys. 😆
  9. Nintendo Switch OLED Model Only Sells 138,409 Units at Launch in Japan

    Ah I see. The first few sentences initially gave me the impression that they are blaming the OLED switch itself ( IE nobody wants the new OLED switch). So we dont really know how much demand there is for it given that supply is so limited.
  10. Nintendo Switch OLED Model Only Sells 138,409 Units at Launch in Japan

    Wait... what? Are they saying that they are selling out?
  11. High-Power (600-Watt) PCIe 5.0 Power Connector for Next-Gen GPUs Pictured, Rumored to Debut with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

    Yeah I think in my mind it just doesn't make sense. Generally you deliver the power to the component that needs it as directly as possible. Routing the power from the PSU through the motherboard for the GPU just doesn't make sense. It's an extra power connector. It's another power plane or a...
  12. Aluminum Capacitor Supply in Southeast Asia Disrupted by COVID

    Bulging capacitors. Was a major issue in motherboards and GPUs from like 2000 to 2010.
  13. Aluminum Capacitor Supply in Southeast Asia Disrupted by COVID

    Dear lord why did you include that pic. Some people here have PTSD from that you know.
  14. Samsung to Build $17 Billion Chip Plant in Taylor, Texas

    I'm glad we have admins that try to keep threads on topic and don't introduce unproductive conversation.
  15. Revised PlayStation 5 Model Goes on Sale in Australia

    Uh.. how did they shave off 300 grams? Not the heatsinks i hope?
  16. T-Mobile Hacked: Over 40 Million Records Taken, including Social Security Numbers and Driver’s License Details

    Why does t-mobile have social security and driver license numbers?
  17. AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT’s Very Wrong Pricing Editorial

    From techspot: That's not how market price correction works. You can set the MSRP to $1. The cards will still be selling for $500 ... A promotional price that needs to be even lower. Got it. /s
  18. Diablo II: Resurrected Won’t Include TCP/IP Support despite Blizzard’s Earlier Promises

    I like when they modernize an old game. Like allow higher resolutions, support for modern OS, support for modern networking and modern services. Things like that. For example trying to play the original Age of Empires 2, starcraft brood war, or Red Alert on windows 7 or 10 is annoying at best...
