    News Asus: It's AMD's Fault The ROG Strix Radeon RX 5700 Series GPUs Run Hot

    IMO, it is poor engineering. Those specs are certainly available from AMD.

    Good to see Huang is getting the smackdown from customers not willing to pay ridiculous prices for piddling performance "improvements". Huang's BS about the 2060, is interesting, too. I bet it also fails to meet "sales expectations." Corporate hubris is getting a wake-up call. I wonder if...

    USA Liberty Act: New ‘Foreign’ Intelligence Law Will Legalize Spying On Americans

    My bet is that IF this is made law, it will get taken to the Supreme Court. Of course, with it's right-leaning edge now, it may be allowed. However, the right supposedly supports freedom and the constitution. Warrantless searches are unlikely to be constitutional - even by the right-leaning...
