    News Zotac launches a new fragrance line just for gamers — the company’s April Fool’s joke turned to reality

    For maximum joke impact they should have designed it to look like it's in a Gatorade piss bottle

    News Zotac launches a new fragrance line just for gamers — the company’s April Fool’s joke turned to reality

    Lol maybe that's what it smells like to capture the essence of gamer bros . Available at all fine pharmacies and gas stations...

    News Dude, where's my GPU? — Microcenter customer gets backpack-stuffed box instead of RTX 5090

    I remember when I bought an open-box 3080 TUF from MicroCenter for like $1800 (yeah- I know...) during the "Covid" GPU droughts after stumbling into one at a store. I went through more crap than I would if I tried cashing a check in a bank I wasn't a customer of.

    News RTX 4090 16-pin GPU adapter fights melting with active cooling, monitors temperature and power consumption

    looks cool with the added screen and such but why is this still such an issue to this day? Any other product would probably be recalled and hit with class actions by now under similar circumstances and instead we're left haggling with manufacturers about repairs if we get unlucky. To add to...

    News Data hoarders race to preserve data from rapidly disappearing U.S. federal websites

    Seemed ok when orgs like the internet archive were deleting items on their own end that were inconvenient to the last party in charge

    News MSI's upcoming RTX 50-series GPUs to feature yellow-tipped 16-pin power adapters

    News Musk's concerns over Google DeepMind 'AI Dictatorship' revealed in emails from 2016 — communications released during the recent OpenAI court case

    His comments very early on kind of infer he was not thinking of himself . That was at a time when the rest of us were entirely oblivious to what A.i was shaping into so I'm frankly glad there were people with some level with ethics to intervene so that there's not just one player in a market who...

    News Megaupload founder will be extradited to the U.S. to face criminal charges — now-defunct file-sharing website had cost film studios and record comp...

    That's quite a bold presumption to assume these people who obtained such content would have paid for it if megaupload wasn't availble- they would just live without it. By that metric, the USPS should be charged for every instance narcotics are mailed through 3rd parties using their service

    News Lian Li releases 'wireless' ARGB Strimer v3 lighting — also announces affordable PC cases at Computex

    Nice. I just bought V2 Strimers on my most recent build but have too much crap, suck at cable management, and that banana bunch for the 4090 doesn't help at all to the point I can't close the panel of the case. Too bad I have to wait till fall

    News Hands-on with the overhauled and improved ROG Ally X: More and faster RAM 1TB SSD, 80Wh battery

    My experience is a mixed bag. The Ally is a good device but it's kind of messy in launch, in part due to windows. As a grab and go kind of device, it kind of wrecks the point of it when Windows bogs things down with apps that won't work until you system update, followed by Asus updates back to...

    News Asus vows to improve clarity surrounding warranty claims and astronomical hardware repair costs

    I think part of the problem is awareness on the executive level as they can possibly be oblivious to certain issues although some is also to do with cost/benefit to keeping their mouths shut about prpblems they're probably well aware of. I do hate that I can't be spare parts from them. I can...

    News The next Cortana: Copilot on Windows is no reason to buy a new PC

    I feel like this is all a gimmick on the consumer level because it will definitely not give you an upper hand or much less put you on par with any corporation or government exploiting it, and find it peculiar that everyone essentially released a product all at once. That aside, copilot is trash...
