Noctua seems to be on a bit of a roll this year, chucking its fans into other companies’ products left, right, and centre. And now it looks like the maker of the world’s best and brownest fans is throwing some at Japanese system builder Sycom for use in some Silent Master RTX 50-series graphics cards….
As a tech journalist, I’m far from heartened by the AI feeding frenzy we’re seeing. Besides the Trump administration rolling back Biden-era guardrails and handing OpenAI a frankly eye-watering amount of money via various contracts, the UK government attempted five times to pass a bill (which has since passed) that allows AI developers to largely…
Earlier this week, it seemed like some big Red Dead Redemption news was in the pipeline as John Marston voice actor Rob Wiethoff said he had “such exciting news” that he couldn’t share. On its own, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but given he was playing Red Dead Redemption and said “I truly cannot think…
The age-old tale of capitalism teaches us that more competition is good, fostering innovation and lower prices, as technology trickles down from top to bottom. Well, that’s what my economics class taught me several years ago, but the principles there have some application to keyboards, believe it or not. Rapid trigger gaming keyboards—ie those with…
You will not, as a rule, run across many players from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (the DPRK, or North Korea) in the Steam community. In place of the world wide web, most DPRK residents keep to the Kwangmyong—the country’s nationwide intranet where you can find homegrown alternatives to Google (called Naenara, also the…
Stumbling into Libra’s boss room on Day Three for the first time, I was expecting the beast to descend on us straight away like every other Elden Ring Nightreign boss, so I was cautiously intrigued to find a shrouded figure calmly waiting instead. It asked me if I desired a powerful weapon, if I wanted…
While Steam Next Fest is happening, it’s always a bit of a whirlwind around here, as we try to play as many demos as possible and pick out the coolest among them. So it’s always nice, once the dust has settled, to look back and see which games really resonated, and what picture it all…
It had all the signs of a good run. I entered with two onion bro raiders, we hit a good tempo and meandered our way to the Everdark version of the Gaping Jaw. Or Adel, Baron of Night, if you’re feeling fancy. I’ve gotten into a rhythm in my games of Elden Ring Nightreign, to…
Word to the Minecraft massif. Be very careful about the mods and tools (definitely no cheats…) you choose to install. They may come with an unwanted payload of malware that will steal your Minecraft login, all your browser credentials, and even your Steam profile and cryptocurrency wallets. Yikes. As reported by Bleeping Computer, security outfit…
Intel has been deep diving on its upcoming 18A chip node at the VLSI Symposium in Japan. And if the company’s claims are to be believed, 18A is looking pretty sweet. Among other factoids, Intel says it’s either up to 25% faster at the same power level, or up to 38% more efficient at the…
