    New Report Suggests That NAND Supply Growth Could Once Again Exceed Demand in 2027

    Actually doesn't seem like it would be that hard to do... The market is so supply constrained right now you can sell every bit you can make. I mean, with "hard" being defined by how fast can you spin up fabrication. And the big players all being afraid to spin up too much fabrication too...

    DLSS 5 Makes Its Official Debut on September 3rd in NBA 2K27, Bringing 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to Games

    That's a good point... why not run your textures through DLSS 5, then just revise your textures to match the AI-enhanced content

    DLSS 5 Makes Its Official Debut on September 3rd in NBA 2K27, Bringing 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to Games

    I like how they are trying to highlight how much control the developer has over the process, so it doesn't just sound like it's AI slop.

    Sony Stands Its Ground That Customers Do Not Own Digital Games; They Are Just Purchasing a License to Use Them

    Good lawyers have a way of distilling things down to black or white decisions, and painting you into coming to a conclusion that may be different from your opinion. Not saying they are right in going about it, or that you can't just stick your foot down and vote your conscious - just that they...

    Noctua Tested Over 100 PC Cases and Found More Than Half Had Wrong Cooler Clearance Specs

    I read this headline, but my mind keeps changing it to this (because, you know, Nocuta) Noctua Tested Over 100 PC Cases and Found More Than Half Had Wrong Color Fan Specs

    Sony Stands Its Ground That Customers Do Not Own Digital Games; They Are Just Purchasing a License to Use Them

    Devil is always in that licensing contract you have to accept to use the product. I mean, you always have the choice to ~not~ pay for the game (and presumably not play it)

    EA May Need to Lay Off Staff in an Attempt to Cover Interest Payments Involving Debts from Its $18 Billion Buyout Deal

    If all they keep doing is updating rosters on FIFA and Madden they can keep going for a long time still. But I’m betting they screw that up somehow

    EA May Need to Lay Off Staff in an Attempt to Cover Interest Payments Involving Debts from Its $18 Billion Buyout Deal

    Once upon a time they had some redeeming qualities, but I think they have been soulless since long before this buyout.

    EA May Need to Lay Off Staff in an Attempt to Cover Interest Payments Involving Debts from Its $18 Billion Buyout Deal

    I love how the new vulture capital trick is to somehow buy a company, and make that company swallow all the debt you just bought them out with, then suck all the marrow from the bone and bankrupt the thing billions of dollars in debt. Somehow that simultaneously nets huge profits for the new...

    To the Surprise of Absolutely No One, Chris Roberts Has Said That Squadron 42 Is Getting Delayed

    You mean Microsoft. They already laid off almost all of Bethesda last month. (So now they have room on the payroll, right, right?) Actually, a Microsoft buyout and mass grave digging would probably be the best thing that could happen to S42/SC

    Microsoft Announces Project Helix, the Next Generation of Xbox Consoles, Said to Be Able to Run Xbox and PC Games

    Nah... I'm expecting a pivot back to "Everything is an Xbox" and trying to sell Cloud Gaming again. Since hardware is so expensive, just stream it to any potato with a screen and an internet connection. Put some of that billions in Azure infrastructure to work.

    The only Elder Scrolls game I actually played all the way through.

    Businesses Are Feeling the Hurt as NVIDIA Raises the Price of Its Flagship Enterprise GPU, the RTX PRO 6000 “Blackwell” 96 GB, to $16,000

    That is exactly what will happen too. I mean, we've already seen AI go from "All You Can Eat" to Tokens, the bait-n-switch will just get worse.

    Very weird laptop trackpad issue.

    Always been a big fan of the pad on the Macbooks, no one else seems to get it quite right. But yeah, can't like play a game with it or anything - not the same thing as a mouse at all. Plenty good for productivity though. The stupid clit mouse on IBM/Lenovo always threw me for a loop.

    Epic Counters an Analyst’s Claim That Players Only Use It for Free Games, Stating That It Hit an All-Time Sales Record of $400 Million in 2025

    Interesting At the same time: Take-away: Epic can’t even sell their own crap on EGS very well

    Noctua and Prusa Research Partner to Release 3-D Printing Filament in Iconic Beige and Brown Colors

    This is what the world needed right at this moment in time, I feel. It's like back in the 60's we had all this civil unrest and strife. War. Inflation. People hating people. Fear. And then, the clouds parted, and behold - unity and harmony Noctua is obviously the new Coca Cola. Only with 3d...

    Motherboard Prices Are Expected to Increase amid Slower Sales and Rising Manufacturing Costs

    I'm not doing a gaming laptop. I'll switch to gaming on a potato first.
