While I personally find the cynicism of Cyberpunk 2077’s world wearying, I can’t deny Night City has got style. A number of nerdy clothing lines have attempted to recreate V’s iconic Samurai jacket, but the standing, light-up collar presents an obvious practical challenge to realise. One YouTuber has decided they’re up to the task. Hardware…
Employees of TSMC, the world’s biggest chip fab, are reportedly threatening to strike over what they see as an unfair share of bumper AI-fuelled profits. The news follows the ongoing dispute between Samsung and its workforce over pay. Digitimes reports that Taiwan-based TSMC was planning to actually cut employee bonuses by 15% despite “soaring” profits….
The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike rattled the gaming mouse market earlier this year with its haptic-inductive clicks, but it was pretty certain other companies would be looking to get in on that analogue action as soon as possible. To that end, Finalmouse has just announced the tactical FPS-oriented, 38-gram Starlight X, which also has…
Brian Blessed is a national treasure. From attempting to climb Mount Everest multiple times without oxygen, to being the oldest man to trek to the Magnetic North Pole on foot, to that episode of Have I Got News For You where he eroded Ian Hislop’s will to live, the man is a veritable force of…
Hunting for fresh news of Nvidia’s long-awaited, yet-to-be-announced N1 and N1X laptop chips is pretty difficult these days. Reports earlier this year suggested the new chips would be out by March, but here we are in May with not a lot to go on beyond rumour and speculation. Other than a Lenovo login page mention,…
It is rare that I sit down and write one of these ‘CEO has spoken’ articles with a charitable mind, mostly because I have this irritating habit of punching up, but also because they are, typically, a little divorced from reality. Like the head of Amazon Games saying videogames don’t really have voice acting, or…
Astute observers of videogames will have noticed that today, May 26, is when reviews for IO Interactive’s 007 First Light started to get published. Even more astute observers will have noticed that PC Gamer’s review was not among them. What’s up with that, then? Although I have been poised in full review position ever since…
Samsung has developed a new prototype NAND memory chip composed of an incredible 900 layers, according to a new report. The chip is actually achieved by stacking two 450-layer cell wafers. ET News (via Sammobile) says, “Samsung Electronics recently implemented a 900-layer Class V-NAND integrated system utilizing Cell Multi-Bonding (CMB) technology, which bonds two 450-layer…
The old saying of ‘It never rains but it pours’ couldn’t be more apt when it comes to describing the current state of computer manufacturing. Alongside shortages of DRAM, NAND flash, processors, and copper, it turns out that there is yet another vital component that’s in high demand, short supply, and with significant price hikes….
As an atheist, you won’t see me at Mass, but I’ll gladly welcome the Pope as another AI-sceptic ally. Pope Leo XIV has just issued his first encyclical letter since being elected in 2025, calling for a ‘safeguarding of the human person in the time of artificial intelligence’. Titled ‘Magnifica Humanitas‘ (‘magnificent humanity’ in Latin),…
