    News Microsoft launches DirectSR preview to let developers easily integrate FSR, DLSS, and XeSS upscaling into games

    That’s not how tech works… Improvements come from very different ideas, made by different team working in a different way, that compete in the same arena at the end. What you describe is how tech standard work, such as html5, then multiple companies implement the standard their own way trying to...

    News Microsoft developer demos .NET on the NES — delivers .NES

    Instead of wasting time and money doing useless stuff like that, they could finish the UIs for win11, this mess is still unfinished. They could drop their awful C:\ paths to embrace the infinitely superior Unix / standard.

    News RTX 5090 may be surprisingly svelte — twin-slot, twin-fan model on the way, says leaker

    I hope they got rid of this piece of crap power connector that is a big engineering failure. What's the point of miniaturizing a connector when the GPUs are so huge anyway... ?

    News Microsoft is switching RAM speed units in Task Manager — finally moving to the more technically correct MT/s

    Wooow. Windows updates really look like there is a guy working a couple of hours a month on it... Like the file properties window still using the Windows XP UI, when can we get an update ? Also, an update for the UI of regedit.exe, run.exe, disk management tool, file explorer options, etc...

    News AMD increases Instinct MI1300 sales guidance to $4 billion — pales in comparison to Nvidia's $40B projection

    Since when, in a sane world, 4 billion is *pale* in comparison to anything ? What's the point of this article? Hey look, they are ridiculous, they are only very rich compared to other ones that are super very rich ?

    News Microsoft releases MS-DOS 4 source code on GitHub — 45 year old code now open-source

    The OS that still drives the technical decision for Window 11… Can we give up the stupid backslashes in the directories??? Can we give up the drive letters and get a mount point instead???

    News Adding ZIP file support to Windows 30 years ago almost got the creator of Task Manager fired

    What is sad is that every time this guys says I did this stuff in 2 days, quickly and crappy, to just get it working, he ends up saying, it's still here decades later, absolutely untouched. That is quite concerning to see how Microsoft, despite their huge money, is lazy about true improving...

    News Ex-Windows developer calls Windows 11 Start menu performance 'comically bad,' even with a Core i9 and 128GB of RAM

    It's the entire OS that is comically bad... Horrible perfs, horrible min spec, horrible bloat, horrible blend of mixed UI generations. Horrible underlying engineering. (regedit, C:\\ path, mess in Win dir) Some major part of the UI are still the old hacks made 25 years ago. How many devs are...

    News New RISC-V microprocessor can run CPU, GPU, and NPU workloads simultaneously

    Wow, a core that can handle cpu/gpu/npu tasks... If this is efficient, that means that most of the transistors can be used instead of a small part of the die. But I bet this kind of tech will be killed by a bigger company that doesn't want any threat to their old business model.

    News Russian businesses get shut out from Microsoft cloud services at the end of this month – new EU sanctions come into effect

    That’s one of the reason cloud services are a scam. A few corporate executives can screw you up overnight if they decide to. Open source and local computing will remain the key fundamentals of computing freedom.

    News US govt's CHIPS Act gives Intel $8.5 billion in funding and a 25% tax credit on $100 billion in investments

    Tax payers are funding Intel now… Are we going to get shares for this investment or free cpu at least? Of course not, the richest get richer, the rest get f**ked.

    News Nvidia's Jensen Huang says Blackwell GPU to cost $30,000 - $40,000, later clarifies that pricing will vary as they won't sell just the chip

    40k per gpu, when the entire wafer that contains multiple dozen of dies cost like 7k to produce… This is a prime example of what pure dominant position abuse is lol. When will they stop? When margins exceed 95 percent ?

    News Jensen Huang says even free AI chips from his competitors can't beat Nvidia's GPUs

    Why are you making an article every time this guy speaks? The last time he said something that was: Kids, stop learning coding because my expensive gpus can do it for you (using human code as a source). He will say anything that serves himself.

    News Korean researchers power-shame Nvidia with new neural AI chip — claim 625 times less power, 41 times smaller

    The problem with Nvidia, is that their tech is relying on a single generalist GPU architecture rather than an extremely optimized GPU for graphics and an extremely optimized AI processor line. When specialized processors are emerging, they will beat Nvidia like crazy. Nvidia tripled their value...

    News Startup aims to make CPUs 100x more energy efficient with 'reconfigurable' chips

    I always had this kind of tech phantasm of a chip that is like a general CPU that can be programmed like a FPGA to emulate dynamically any chip/isa configuration, huge single thread, super multithreaded, gpu etc, with on die memory to replace the need of external ddr for speed and efficiency. Is...

    News Korean researchers power-shame Nvidia with new neural AI chip — claim 625 times less power, 41 times smaller

    Nvidia is the most overvalued company currently. They are rich because they lead temporarily in a very demanding market. Their solution is based on graphics processors doing an alternative job they were not fully intended for, full greedy premium price. Can’t wait to see competition bringing...

    News GDDR7 graphics memory standard published by JEDEC — Next-gen GPUs to get up to 192 GB/s of bandwidth per device

    News GDDR7 graphics memory standard published by JEDEC — Next-gen GPUs to get up to 192 GB/s of bandwidth per device

    News Elon Musk sues OpenAI - alleging breaches of the founding agreement

    I agree with Musk. This guy is a pure traitor who steered the company in the opposite direction of what it was made for. What is “Open” in OpenAI nowadays: nothing except a name that shows the CEO corruption like a scar.

There was never any need for a tiny connector, discrete desktop GPUs didn't need that crap. What we need are super sturdy connector like...
