    News Steam checkout banner clarifies you don’t own the game you buy — GOG takes a jab at Steam, saying it gives users offline installers that cannot be...

    Truthfully there is where the government should actually be involved in. While I agree that you don't actually own the game, the game isn't tangible like the Mona Lisa. However, I believe it should be forced (and I don't honestly care about the piracy concerns, they can figure that out) upon...

    News YouTube creator sues Nvidia and OpenAI for ‘unjust enrichment’ for using their videos for AI training

    This is like suing Ford because their son was killed in a car accident involving a Ford vehicle. OpenAI I get, Nvidia??? Not so much. This will all end badly for this creator.

    News Apple's renewed push for Mac gaming relies on its whole ecosystem to attract users

    And this is where the problem starts and ends for Apple. They want it all in house. They don't want third party drivers/API's. Game developers do not want to write a third version of their code to please Apple (ROI is too long and too much of a gamble). Apple will continue to fail on this...

    News Chinese gov't pushes Huawei's HarmonyOS hard, sets adoption targets to beat Windows, Android, and iOS

    The Chinese are ambitious but completely based in their own reality. Their government is comprised of yes men that do not challenge the authority and explain how the competition has been established and literally has millions of apps for the OS's. NO one outside of China is going to trust this OS.

    News Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger: I hope to build chips for Lisa Su and AMD

    Actually I am thinking they will, because yes they are showing their hand a little, they also get to see Intel's full set of cards. I do think the OP is on to something. The only reason Intel would open it's foundry's is to keep cost reasonable to stay on the curve. AMD doesn't have to do...

    News AMD unveils Instinct MI300X GPU and MI300A APU, claims up to 1.6X lead over Nvidia’s competing GPUs

    The market has only one destination, and this is it. Fully integrated SoC, zero support chips, just a board with a chip and connectors, and at this point it will probably be nothing but usb-c ports (or whatever may be the best solution at the time). Idiot proof! Just in the nick of time!

    News Each Bitcoin transaction consumes 4,200 gallons of water — enough to fill a swimming pool — and could potentially cause freshwater shortages

    They should do another report that shows how much water/electricity/cobalt/coal was used to write this report.

    News Nvidia Breaks $1 Trillion Market Cap

    I am not sure a lot of the commentors here are understanding the changes that AI will continue to make especially given enough breathing room. People aren't seeing the massive jumps we are about to take in so many different directions with AI finally starting to progress it's own path and...

    News How to Watch Nvidia's Computex Keynote

    I think you are right for the wrong reasons. AI will begin to take it's own course outside of human intervention. AI will begin to create it's own path just based on pure logic without the help of Google, NVidia, Microsoft, Apple, ARM, & on and on. Once AI begins to actually plot a course of...

    OnePlus Talks Smartphone Innovation, Design, Accessories

    Love the idea of a modular phone design to have components replaced as needed by the end user (open architecture) it revolutionized the PC industry (minus apple and at a point IBM). It would revolutionize the industry and could open the market up to a lot more players killing the duopoly is...

    Oculus VR Snags Top Googler to Work on Consumer Rift

    Last I heard was Oculus was going to require an external camera to track motion on the helm. Why would they not add a B&W low MP camera to the unit itself to work almost like a mouse does? Taking a 1000 snapshots a second and seeing how each tracking pixel compares from one frame to the next...

    DOOM Beta Limited to PC, PS4 and Xbox One

    Doesn't this defeat the purpose of a beta/demo? The idea is to allow people to see a little bit of the game to wet their appetite and lure them into buying the final product. Kind of tarnishes what made Doom, Doom!

    John Carmack Talks Doom on 20th Anniversary

    I always wanted a cross between Myst and Doom. Full on puzzle where you lock your self in a room and try and figure it out while monsters are beating down the door. True survival horror which is what made the original Resident Evil so fantastic.

    Prepare for More Asteroids to Hit Earth, Scientists Say

    More evidence for the cult leaders of this world to recruit with. "God has chosen to attack the non believers with space rocks" I am sure statistically our chances are always increasing to be struck again.
