    News Why parts of Tom’s Hardware now have a paywall

    I’m not gonna sub I simply have too many already but I’m still gonna visit Tom’s as long as I can read quality articles and participate in discussions. Tom’s along with TechPowerup and VideoCardz are outlets I get my daily tech digest.

    News Two former TSMC employees arrested, could face up to 12 years in jail, $3 million fine over alleged attempt to leak 2nm chip details — first case u...

    Your problematic logic of theft is good as long as it benefits me notwithstanding; such technology would not end up in the hands of those who would help the regular man. The highest bidder on the black market for such intellectual property would be the you know who, and them guys don’t have...

    News AMD CEO says U.S.-made TSMC chips are more expensive, but worth it — costs 'more than 5% but less than 20%' higher than Taiwan-sourced alternative

    Worth it, I’d rather pay higher for a product knowing it wasn’t made somewhere with horrible working conditions than save a few bucks.

    News Polish programmer beats OpenAI's custom AI in 10-hour marathon, wins World Coding Championship — possibly the last human winner

    Well done to the human programmer! 😎 On another note I’m surprised the the OpenAI model came so close; according to the resident experts here AI sucks at coding.

    News Asus just made an RTX 5090 with 11 lbs of real gold worth $500,000 — RTX 5090 ROG Astral Gold Edition is the most expensive GPU of all time

    A skilled goldsmith would tell you that pure gold (24 carat) can’t be worked which I think is the case here. I believe Asus went for shock value and failed miserably at aesthetics.

    The GeForce RTX 5090 just got an actual discount for Prime Day — $350 saving makes it one of the cheapest we've seen

    Right now gaming at 4K is only possible on a 4090 and 5090 if you want relatively high refresh rates without upscaling. I withheld on buying a 5080 because it’s simply inadequate for this purpose unless you turn on MFG.

    News Czechia warns that DeepSeek can share all user information with the Chinese government

    Nothing surprising here, Chinese government can force any company even if they are not government owned or subsidised, it’s enshrined in their laws. Remember when Apple simply refused to cooperate with the FBI to decrypt iPhones for them? Well that crap doesn’t fly over there.

    The GeForce RTX 5090 just got an actual discount for Prime Day — $350 saving makes it one of the cheapest we've seen

    I had a PNY Quadro P4000, worked like a charm for 6 years for me, I gave it away with the old PC to my mother in law who has been using it the past two years with no problems.

    News Chipmaking giant TSMC hit with class-action lawsuit in the U.S. for bias, racism, and unsafe conditions — over 30 plaintiffs have accused the compa...

    Hoping the plaintiffs get a few hundred millions at least, TSMC love themselves some American money but apparently they think they are some superior species.

    News Not to be outdone by ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot humiliates itself in Atari 2600 chess showdown — another AI humbled by 1970s tech despite trash talk

    Per usual take any viral post from LinkedIn and throw it in the dumpster for all they are worth. I’m not sure how much the author of this article knows about chess but since he is intent on disseminating that LinkedIn influencer guy’s posts I figure this is needed. There’s a much better way of...
