    Kingston Technology Releases Server Premier 5600MT/s and 5200MT/s DDR5 ECC UDIMMs and ECC SODIMMs

    I recently went through a whole bunch of motherboards while speccing out the parts to build a NAS, and it looks like Asus is the only one that states ECC support on AM5. Gigabyte does state ECC support on one board, but then later clarifies in the same sentence that it will operate in non-ECC...

    Arm Retakes Control of Chinese Branch Office, New CEOs Appointed

    Reading the Reuters article, the most important part that identifies the source is the first few words: "Arm Ltd said" - that means Arm themselves have put out a press release or news article. So I went to the Arm website itself and looked for their news page and voila...

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

    It's not a typo, Bruno_O is on beta firmware. Asus set the version number for their beta firmware as v9 and label their stable firmware v3. The actual important number is the revision number which comes after the 4.386_ bit. In Bruno_O's case, they are on revision 41994 whereas the latest...

    Valve Steam Deck FAQs Shed More Light on the Hot New Portable Console

    Yes and Yes, HOWEVER there are two caveats. The NVME slot is 2230 (where the typical NVME drive is 2280), and is not designed to be user upgradeable (ie it is not easy to get to and you can damage it unless you are careful with the disassembly).

    Corsair LAPDOG Gaming Control Center

    It's not correct because the peak is after the pique, read the rest of the sentence to notice that it's about the lapdog first popping up. That's not even getting into 'just google it' for more info on why peak is the wrong word.

    AMD Radeon R9 Nano Launch Date Revealed

    That's because US prices are pre-tax. Tack on our Goods and Services Tax (10%) and you'll find very similar pricing.

    AMD Radeon R9 Nano Launch Date Revealed

    Your first comparison is 970 with 960, what? Second comparison is still well within expected pricing - $670-680 US is approximately $1,020 - 1,035 AUD when you factor in 10% tax. We Australians don't tend to get shafted on hardware prices.

    Meet the New Logitech

    First of all, Arctic doesn't make Arctic Silver 5, Arctic Silver does (similar sounding company, but completely different). Second, Arctic Cooling became Arctic because the company as a whole doesn't only do cooling products. Here's a bunch of videos about products from Arctic that aren't...

    Silent PSU recommendations

    Seasonic and Silverstone have passive power supplies (with Silverstone even rebranding a Seasonic design). If you need (or want) higher wattage, you've got the EVGA G2/P2 series, Corsair RM/HX/AX series, Seasonic X/XP series, and Seasonic rebrands.

    Tranquil PC and Mark Shuttleworth Launch Ubuntu Orange Box

    Imagine what ten computers can be used for. Now imagine that those ten computers are portable. This is that ten computers in a portable chassis (if 19KG can be considered portable, 29KG with the optional case).
