    Several Older Asus Routers at Risk of Being Infected by Cyclops Blink Worm

    So sticking with my ancient RT-N66U pays off? I still has firmware updates, and my wireless clients are at distances such that higher frequency standards wouldn't benefit me.

    Intel Arc Alchemist Graphics Card Lineup Detailed

    The benchmarks were run on actual hardware by a 3rd party according to the article. That's not vaporware whatsoever, so in this case the knee-jerk Intel hater is the one being stupid. Why in god's name any hardware enthusiast would not be excited for more competition, especially given the state...

    Ethereum to Transition to Proof of Stake in Coming Months, Reducing Energy Consumption by 99.95%

    So "proof of stake" just makes Ethereum into an out-in-the-open Ponzi scheme? Only those who already have coin will be able to mine it?

    Neo Forza eSports NFP075 1 TB

    Why tell me that one of, if not the biggest, tech website already reviewed it? I've seen that one obviously. I like the way Techpowerup reviews SSDs, so I asked here.

    MSI, ASUS Z590 Motherboard Lineup Surface; MSI Models up to €999, ASUS up to €1516

    I actually don't care too much about the ultra-high end niche board pricing, but do care that it's creating price hikes across the whole product stack. $200-250 should be the price for a solid upper midrage or low 'high-end' enthusiast-level board that has decent features, even if without the...

    Intel Pentium Gold G5600 3.9 GHz

    The only thing I'm surprised about is the absence of any talk about power consumption in the summary. I know motherboards can affect that a lot, but that's why you guys measure CPU-only consumption. While this particular CPU is too expensive, it looks like there's a good TCO argument for the...

    Cherry Announces Cherry MX Silent Keyboard Switches

    Yes, most of the noise from non-clicky mechanical switches is from internal bottom/top-out, with associated external keycap noise on bottom-out, and key stem wobbling. The bottom out and keycap noise can be reduced through o-rings or dampers without significatnly changing the feel if you get...

    Raidmax Hyperion

    I read through the review to confirm my suspicion from the first picture...the 5.25" drive bay is just a cover. I know those drives are going out of favor in some people's opinion, but if they're going to make non-black cases, they really need to have a stealthed door that matches the case color.

    First round the world solar flight

    Interesting, but so many stops hardly makes it seem appropriate to call it 'around the world.' Now, if it was a continuous flight, that would be something else.

    SilverStone Readies SX500-LG PSU in the SFX-L Form-Factor

    So I'm too lazy to look up SFX form factor specs or standards, but doesn't having a 120mm fan make this pretty pointless as an SFX PSU? What case that uses a SFX PSU would be compatible with this PSU without blocking critical areas in the case?
