    News IT provider sued after it simply 'handed the credentials' to hackers — Clorox claims Cognizant gaffe enabled a $380m ransomware attack

    Well that's just beyond stupid. Who the hell hires idiots like that? So somebody uses LinkedIn and says they're now part of Bob's team and can't get into their account? The wonders of outsourcing.

    News IT provider sued after it simply 'handed the credentials' to hackers — Clorox claims Cognizant gaffe enabled a $380m ransomware attack

    I don't understand and still seem to be missing it. How did Cognizant know the password to begin with? They should only allow a user to reset their password.

    News VRAM-friendly neural texture compression inches closer to reality - enthusiast shows massive compression benefits with Nvidia and Intel demos

    That certainly fits more in line with a Riva TnT 2. By 2001 when the Tualitian P3's came out the Geforce 3 had already come out as well. Things sure did move fast back then.

    News VRAM-friendly neural texture compression inches closer to reality - enthusiast shows massive compression benefits with Nvidia and Intel demos

    So this is overly pedantic but are you sure you had a 130nm PIII? Those didn't come out until after the first P4's and IIRC weren't very common despite being quite good.

    News VRAM-friendly neural texture compression inches closer to reality - enthusiast shows massive compression benefits with Nvidia and Intel demos

    There's that. Also planned obsolence and upselling. Thankfully people are catching on. That's probably why the 4070 has been readily available. The 4070 Ti will likely be viable for much longer than the 4070 because it has more VRAM.
