This is ASUS. so they'll deny ALL warranties worldwide and dare anyone to sue them. As they've been doing with motherboards, 40x and 50x series GPUs etc etc. Basically they're flouting ALL warranty laws across the world until someone stamps on them HARD. Not worth the effort. I'll just buy...

All Zotac/Nvidia needs to do is let the scalpers buy the initial lot. Then BLAST out 10s of thousands of cards. Leaving the scalpers with non-warranty non-sellable stuff. Bankruptcy ahead!

Given that last year ASUS was shipping used and damaged boards "as new" and literally announced they were ignoring warranty laws WORLDWIDE and if anyone was unhappy "they can sue". They've ALSO announced they refuse to honor ALL NVIDIA 5x warranties worldwide if their connector system damages...

There's no ETH mining etc anymore. So the scalpers hoping there will be a big miner push are out of luck. The 4090 is pretty much equal to the 5090 in terms of mining capability anyway. 5090 has slight faster memory, but it can't speed up having your blocks validated by other users Here's...

benchy became a standard, but ANY other model can do exactly the same. It just needs 1 or 2 of each of the same curves, straight edges and support-requiring shapes. and thats it. it could be a model of an animal standing up on its back legs (Mousey), a car (Trucky), a building (Housey) or an...

The curious thing is the court REFUSED to block the council doing their OWN landfill searches for the drive.... If HE can't search because the drive is obviously destroyed (even if he PAID the council millions for the dig rights!), why are they specifically excluded from this restriction?

the most hilarious thing is intel has 4 warehouses FULL of unsold Arrow Lake CPUs. They're trying to take away manufacturing capability from Arm and AMD, because they can't really compete since arrow lake is a bugged to hell pile of crap with stability issues and extremely low price/performance...

Chinese products such as Storage often come with built-in firmware to install nasty nasty malware. And because its firmware, the drive can NEVER be cleaned.

Not just dinosaurs, embedded in the microcode (so not fixable) are instructions to install malware payloads to steal data and pump it to Bejing.

Tested. It records data from barclaycard.co.uk AND HSBC.co.uk. Happily snarfs up the user reference/card number when logging in, then grabs account balances, transactions and pending bills. It also eats lists of Payees you have set up (so scammers will know who to pretend to be! - i.e. if you...

It doesn't help that 99% of "reviews" for chinese-made CPU and GPU are complete fabrications, often from fictional "reviewers" that don't exist and were made up wholesale by the Chinese government. They claim the CPU is faster than the latest ryzen - CPUs sneaked out of china reveal slightly...

Did they call it Kratos because you'd go to war with anyone that gave you this as a gift?

People need to stop buying HP printers. even the Uk government is putting them to an end after realizing the internal hard drive of all contracted printer models "hides" previously printed pages in a hidden partition. When the drive is changed over as per-contract, the enginer takes the OLD...

Why not use sound? like the cassette system. Booo BEEEP! booooooooo BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! BSHH BZZ BEEP BZZ BEEP!

1152 GIGABYTES of Ram. Almost enough to meet the minimum requirements to run Windows 12....
