    News Ebuyer reportedly closing its doors — staff at UK’s second biggest PC retailer sent home early, company sued for liquidation

    Like everyone else here I have used them for years, probably since it opened. As for the biggest retailer, I'm guessing Amazon? Which is probably one of the main reasons for Ebiyers downfall.. Quick delivery and easy returns.

    News Palmer Luckey considering entering laptop market with fully US-made model, wants to know if you'd spend 20% more for an American-made PC

    Gaming Peripheral Apps, Ranked From Worst to Worst

    News Intel draws a line in the sand to boost gross margins - new products must deliver 50% to get the green light

    News China tech companies scramble to ditch Nvidia as Washington tightens export controls

    Whilst its a bit late, ethics is always a big thing for me. How do we justify enabling regimes that are at odds with our values? Dictatorship. Ethnic cleansing, controls over social media and free speech and supporting of war mongering country I.e Russia.

    News Tesla is impacted by China's export ban on rare earth minerals — Optimus production is delayed due to a “magnet issue”

    I assume that last remark was a jest as there is plenty of Sci-fi out there that suggests otherwise 🤣 Every computer program can be hacked.

    News 33-year-old AmigaOS for Commodore computers gets an unexpected update

    Workbench was so much better to use than Windows 95. My hope is that there is a parallel universe where they didn't mess it up and Amiga is now the dominant computer platform 😀

    News Raspberry Pi and AI power open source smart city monitoring project

    News Raspberry Pi and AI power open source smart city monitoring project

    Whilst this sounds interesting.. Is one allowed to place things like cameras and radar over looking public spaces? I'm reasonably sure that CCTV is only allowed to cover ones own property. Or have missed something here?
