China-based AI startup DeepSeek caused the tech market to wobble earlier this week, as the release of its open-source R1 model led to mass sell-offs in tech shares. It seems Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang may have taken a personal hit from the fallout, equating to a $20.8 billion loss to his net worth. Nvidia was…
Another graphics card launch filled with bots, scalpers, and 300% markups. Nvidia’s hotly anticipated GPUs, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, went on sale this week and scalpers have bought as many as they can to sell on for higher prices. Yet there are some seemingly looking to stop them from getting away with it….
Fair to say Intel’s GPU plans don’t always go to, er, plan. During Intel’s latest earnings call for highly-remunerated bean counters, the company’s new interim co-CEO let slip that its upcoming next-gen AI GPU has effectively been cancelled. Known as Falcon Shores, it was supposed to replace Intel’s Gaudi 3 chip. But no more. “Based…
Beyond Citadel is a great indie FPS, and one I played through start to finish in just a couple days. It’s a game that I’d love to recommend to everybody, but also nobody. I feel it’s important to preface even a passing mention of this game with a colossal content warning: Beyond Citadel is a…
Intel has been talking numbers this week with the announcement of some reasonably positive financials for the final quarter of 2024 (you can read the full transcript here).

The game isn’t out until April this year….
Dear reader, I have a lot of positive words to say about World of Warcraft recently. The way Blizzard and its developers have clawed their way back from the pits of hell in Shadowlands is downright commendable, and the game is in one of the best states it’s been in in years. Not perfect, mind…
Building a computer is one thing. Designing a computer from scratch is another. Doing both of those things in the confines of Microsoft’s smash-hit sandbox game Minecraft is, I want to say, absurd? The folly of man? An affront to God? Yet here we are, and the Minecraft computer is nearly complete. Ryan Boulds is…
Rubber is one of the first materials you’ll need to collect in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, since you’ll be asked to gather some for Chococat to open the gate leading to the spooky swamp. If you don’t know what or where to look, foraging for some rubber can definitely prolong getting this quest completed. Luckily…
For years now, whenever I get my grubby little mitts on a shiny new Windows system, the first thing I do is open up Edge—and download my preferred browser instead. For many, this little post-set-up ritual is at least as old as Mozilla Firefox. Jokes at the expense of Microsoft’s own homegrown internet browser solutions…
