    GameSir Launches Nova and Nova Lite Controllers

    So, they present the 3 way connection as a major feature and then make the premium version interesting for Switch users almost exclusively by removing the analog trigger feature that is weirdly supported on the Lite version. This ain't innovation buddy. The Switch is the only console without...

    DFI Revolutionizes Industrial Computing with World's First MicroATX Motherboards

    I can't be alone to have read this as if they were announcing the first ever mATX boards lol. Meanwhile what most people on this site would really want to see is a 15 years follow-up from the LANparty JR... (to stay on the topic of mATX boards)

    AMD Recommends Rejection of "Mini-Tender" Offer from Tutanota LLC

    Wow, I'm grateful to learn that, I was thinking to use Tutanota, but can you trust a private email brand that play stupid scamming stuff in the shadows?

    Microsoft Introduces Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 Models for Business

    Did that typo was from the original PR? No, it's not, come on, please don't turn exponent numbers used for reference as real number when copying stuff...

    AMD Ryzen 7 8700G & Ryzen 5 8600G APUs Geekbenched

    Why the 8600G was tested on Geekbench 6.0.2? Geekbench 6.0 and 6.1+ are not 100% comparable to each other according to the GB dev: Geekbench 6.1 blog

    ASUS Announces Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti SSD Graphics Card

    Yeah, also imagine the drop of performance between the 4060Ti's GDDR6/128Bits bandwidth of 288 GB/s and NVMe Gen 4x4 max bandwidth is only 8GB/s. For reference, a GeForce 7400 from 2008 and it's 128MB of DDR2 on 64Bit bus had already 9.4GB/s bandwidth.

    ASUS Announces Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti SSD Graphics Card

    Wait... something not alright here... They put a NVMe slot on a graphic card which is good because the RTX 4060 Ti is one of those new generation of cut cornering of only electrically using x8 lanes of PCI-E leaving another x8 lanes totally unused. BUT, why the actual NVMe slot linked to the CPU...

    Gigabyte Expands its Range of White Motherboards with Two AMD B650 Models

    It's nice to see more white options, but I don't get why they release the white editions later at random. This make impossible to build a white themed system and STICK with it when you upgrade it. Would have been useful to have them when I was planning to upgrade my old B360M Motar Titanium...

    ASUSTOR Announces All-New Gaming Inspired AS54 NAS Series

    I knew my Beelink U59 was not fully exploiting the full N5105 potential by having only SATA M.2 and dual 1Gb LAN, but man, that thing is way overpromising. How they managed to fit 4x M.2 NVMe 3.0, 2x 2.5Gb LAN and 3 USB 3.2 10Gb from a SoC with only 8 PCI-E lanes? Yeah, don't expect to hit...

    AMD Announced as Starfield's Exclusive Partner on PC

    Man, I hope they are just doing PR speak mentionng only the latest gen hardware but in reality optimizing for older AMD CPUs and GPUs since the X-Box Series have Zen2 CPU cores (Ryzen 3000 series) and RDNA2 GPU cores (Radeon 6000 series).

    Western Digital My Cloud Service Hacked, Customer Data Under Ransom

    After the MyBook Live debacle, here another WD data leak... It's not surprising that I've decided to learn to use my own self-hosting platforms like OneCloud so I know who to sue for being a noob at security (myself). Nothing is really safe these days, so not paying for false promises of...

    Sapphire Announces the Nitro+ Radeon RX 7900-series GPUs with Vapor-X Cooling

    The GPU support bracket is the same I've got for few bucks on Amazon with a different name on it. It's kind of cheap looking next to other brands offerings but it is stealthy unlike some RGB mess i've seen.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 Launching May 31st with 512 CUDA Cores & 4 GB GDDR6

    Why Nvidia is getting stuck on the GTX 1XXX series naming in the last few years? Are we talking about the same Nvidia that rebranded old GPU dies to "newer series" for years in an attempt to woes customers?

    Chinese GPU Makers Aiming for 5 and 7 nm GPUs in 2022

    I'm always glad to see new competitors, but from China...? AFAIK, China competitors in traditional computing technologies (for example the x86 CPU that I can't remember the name) are always limited to the Chinese market and built not to be a real competitor but to allow China to break away from...
