Well.... I'm more of the opinion that all of these app stores - Steam, Google Play, Apple - should spend a LOT MORE of the billions they get on more/better malware detection. I think Google's Play store is one of the worse, but they all could improve. 10% additional investment into security...

This article is a bit lacking on critical details, and it feels a bit sensationalized. It mentions "‘Vibe Coding Day 8’ of Lemkin’s Replit test run" - so are what we really looking at is a story about a "vibe coding" event where they create fictitious companies and see how an AI agent could...

I still like the original NR200 more than the NR200p models, which require a vertical GPU mounting on a PCIe riser. With the original NR200, I could still go with air-cooling on the CPU, and have the GPU mounted horizontally onto the motherboard - no riser needed. Good thing it's still...

Yeah, I increased to 120-130% zoom-in for better sizing. But usually articles here are pretty good for giving you click-to-zoom options; it's just not here for whatever reason. Dynamic web pages are meant to give different display options for mobile vs desktop browsers, but it's pretty clear...

With these charts/graphics not allowing for zoom-in, it makes it hard to easily read all the names/numbers. I also don't know why we can't have increased/dynamic page width on these articles; the included charts could then be bigger by default as well. Most here have high-res screens, but it...

Yeah, this reeks of likely underwhelming performance, especially against its pricing. Which, if so, is really bad for gamers as it likely will be the volume seller for most.

Counter-example: Or that employee was so bad that they were fired, and said employee wants to trash them out of spite. This sounds like corporate inside espionage, with the expected payoff being a higher-paying job with a future employer - especially one that doesn't care about NDAs or IP rights.

Technically, it's vendor-neutral, but it does require support by the local OS (which almost all do now). It's basically creating a secure key pair between your "login" identity and a local device that you own. It helps knock out phishing-scams, keylogging, and the like because you need the...

WARNING on 5060ti: do NOT be duped into buying the 5060ti 8GB! It definitely loses more performance than you would think with just a lower VRAM amount that the 16GB version. So if you find what you think is a "Deal" on a 5060ti, make sure you ascertain the VRAM amount!

Hey, they could buy up all the supply of magnets on Amazon before the tariffs price them too high. ;)

Interesting - of course, with all of the security measures/safeguards & people (like investigators) being cut (and cut out) by DOGE in the US, it's almost a guarantee that pretty much won't be implemented or enforced. Even that article says: "In Tier 2 countries, entities can import up to 1,700...

I wonder if this is related to the cloud-connected stuff. It's been a while, but I feel like I had to turn off "Optional connected experiences" when I had some Outlook slow-downs in the past. Anyway, I don't need AI-analysis of my emails that I'm writing - thanks, but no thanks.

Also, China can (and does) buy supply from other countries, even with the full datacenter products. It's not like Nvidia is putting in controls in the rack system to shut down if it is running in a specific country.

Plus Wintel on phones wasn't as power-efficient as the stream of new (then) ARM-based processors. If they could have modernized the Windows Mobile interface from the beginning to become closer to what the Lumia series showcased, it might have helped early adoption. But they were already late...

You say you want more manufacturing in the US, and yet you are actively trying to stop more manufacturing in the US. How many mouths can one have, to speak out of both sides so often. :rolleyes:
