    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Could Feature 24 GB Memory, Increased Power Limits

    Nice VRAM for those wanting to play with AI LLMs. Or running multiple 4K screens. Or NV vPC. Not a gamers upgrade, but a choice for those wanting multitalented cards at a mid-budget. I'd certainly choose the 24GB over the 16GB version even if it makes zero different to gaming FPS.

    Synology Introduces DiskStation DS1525+

    The business strategy of a successful company is to GROW revenues and profits by acquiring new customers, and getting existing customers to buy again and buy more, through their perception of added value and competitive leadership. The business strategy of a weak company is to extract more...

    ssd stops working while playing but comes back after restart?

    Reminds me of 20 years ago when IDE cables and electrical noise caused unpredictable issues. Sometimes a contact, sometimes a cable, sometimes interference by poorly routed cables.

    Intel GPUs Gain 20% Performance by Disabling Security Mitigations

    Good way to encourage people to upgrade their non-kernel mitigated CPUs. An additional 20% boost when you can confidently turn off those software based spectre workarounds.

    Apple's macOS 26 "Tahoe" Introduces Floating, Transparent "Liquid Glass" UI

    Massive memory requirements - naturally bringing older models to a crawl. Remember the days when icons were 8x8 then 16x16 then 32x32 bitmaps. Now they are 256x256xn multi-layer deep memory monsters. Each icon is going to be multi MB each. OK, if you have memory and comp power to abuse. Just...

    https://global.synologydownload.com/download/Document/Hardware/DataSheet/DiskStation/25-year/DS925%2B/enu/Synology_DS925%2B_Data_Sheet_enu.pdf Ive got 3x RS815+. They blocked DSM upgrades on this model even though they allow updates on later year DS and RS models that HAVE THE SAME PROCESSOR...

    Nice. Forced upgrade of my older paid-for or freeware apps to latest versions reqyiring relicensing or subscriptions. :mad:

    Intel Announces Arc Pro B50 and B60 Graphics Cards for Pro-Vis and AI Inferencing

    Single Slot Low Profile designs. Nice. Shame there isn't more memory on a single GPU - their AI benchmarking doesn't run on a single GPU due to lack of memory? So much more efficient to have the whole model sitting in one onboard contiguous memory area rather than sucking up PCIe bandwidth and...

    Arm Introduces New Product Naming for PC, Infrastructure, Mobile, and More

    I've got a MUCH BETTER naming convention: ARM server ARM desktop ARM touch (tablet and phone) ARM auto ARM IoT ARM mil ARM space Notice how this naming convention is much simpler and much less confusing and absolutely intuitive. (C) COPYRIGHT - all proceeds to me

    Pioneer Has Ended Production of Computer Blu-ray Drives - Transfers PDDM Business to Shanxi Group

    My first pioneer optical drive was an external SCSI requiring a PCI card and a thick D cable

    Intel Partner Prepares Dual Arc "Battlemage" B580 GPU with 48 GB of VRAM

    Seems like a gimmick, similar to SLI and crossfire, but 1./ https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000093897/graphics.html#primary-content , and 2./ Deep Link has just been cancelled. So I don't get it. It would need to be designed very differently in order to benefit from a...

    Drop Introduces "All-White" CSTM80 Mechanical Keyboard

    I'd really like to know if the LED colour could be controlled per-key. All the promo shots show a rainbow colourway across the keyboard. I'd prefer something like my current keyboard - just a plain colour.

    Drop Introduces "All-White" CSTM80 Mechanical Keyboard

    Agree. Expensive. But I do link the idea of magnetic drop on covers that can be quickly and easily cleaned, coloured, and styled or logoed.

    Iiyama Launches a Range of Ultrawide Desktop Monitors

    Curved screens means your eyes don't have to refocus as you turn your head. I'd argue that is a bad thing... we spend too much time looking at screens with fixed stares. A n d , b e s i d e s t h a t , I t hink curved screens make for a weird text scanning experienc e w h e n r e a d...
