It seems Nvidia have no problem serve the users with loads of vram if they can pay for it. NVIDIA Announces General Availability of RTX PRO 5000 72 GB GPU Press Release The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72 GB Blackwell GPU is now generally available, bringing robust agentic and generative AI capabilities powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture to more desktops and professionals across the world. With the flexibility to choose between this 72 GB variant and the existing NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 48 GB model, AI developers can right-size their systems for a wider range of budgets and project requirements.

The CEO's is blinded by greed! Looking ahead: Despite widespread warnings of an imminent AI collapse, many top executives are still going all-in on artificial intelligence capital expenditures. Meanwhile, CEOs are growing increasingly disillusioned with the supposedly transformative capabilities of LLMs and chatbots. Most CEOs are ready to spend even more on AI in 2026 despite no clear path to ROI And the people have to pay the price... Senators probe whether AI data centers are driving up electricity costs Warren, Van Hollen, and Blumenthal question whether tech companies are shifting grid costs to local communities

And as usual... The consumers of the scam close their eyes. They will still use Facebook and Insta. Meta knowingly took in billions from scam ads on Facebook and Instagram, says Reuters Another day, another Meta controversy In a nutshell: Meta has faced several controversies over the years, including the misuse of private data for political profiling, failing to stop the spread of fake news and hate speech, and ignoring the impact of Facebook and Instagram on the mental well-being of young people. A new report now claims the company has also knowingly accepted fraudulent and scam ads originating in China.

This was/is inevitable... Those with sligth older gen cards/new low mid end saved by the dram crisis. Game development is now affected by the RAM crisis TL;DR: Rising DDR5 memory and storage costs, driven by the ongoing DRAM crisis and AI demand, are causing supply shortages and higher prices through 2026. This forces game developers like Larian Studios to optimize AAA titles for limited RAM and VRAM, impacting PC gaming performance and hardware upgrade cycles. What does this mean for gaming, specifically high-profile AAA-style experiences with a focus on immersive and detailed visuals? Well, a fundamental shift in how game developers will approach making games for the "foreseeable future." And with that, game developers will be forced to optimize performance for systems with limited RAM and VRAM. G.Skill And Micron Share Depressing Update On PC Memory Crisis by Paul Lilly - Thu, Dec 18, 2025 Just in case anyone needs to hear it again (as if!), we're in the midst of a memory crisis that has seen the cost of DRAM catapult to unsettling levels. G-skill statement. https://www.gskill.com/community/1502239313/1765875574/Why-has-G.SKILL-DRAM-memory-prices-increased-so-much-recently-since-2025-Q4

What could go wrong? One monthly update and the AI agents have full permission on all your files. This without you know or give it permission. Yup, one buggy update, and that's all Microsoft needs. Windows 11 Will Ask for Permission Before AI Agents Access Personal Files Microsoft has implemented a mandatory consent framework for Windows 11 that stops AI agents from accessing personal files without explicit user permission. The company has updated its agentic AI features documentation for experimental preview builds, specifying six protected folders as off-limits by default: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos. Each AI assistant must request access individually, rather than receiving system-wide permissions. This opt-in design ensures that standard installations remain unaffected unless users decide to activate the feature and approve specific agents.

@Mr. Fox Microsoft try everything to force an hw upgrade. Just make the latest and greatest as an real power hog. More cpu cycles is the way to improve the performance. You can feel that your hardware work harder hence you think they have improved the performance, HaHa Microsoft earlier today announced that it is bringing a major performance boost to Server 2025 systems with a new native feature that will immensely boost storage and related speeds by up to 80%. Microsoft today also confirmed that it is now going to be enabling a Windows system service by default, and quite ironically, the service is known to cause performance-related issues on user PCs from time to time as it can eat up CPU cycles and memory blocks. "December 15, 2025 Update: This feature is included in the December 2025 non-security update (KB5072033). [System Components] The AppX Deployment Service (Appxsvc) has moved to Automatic startup type to improve reliability in some isolated scenarios." A quick Google search for the Appxsvc service leads to various forum posts and results online where users are seen complaining about this system process. This ranges from issues related to high CPU usage, memory usage, or disk impacts. Hence, the process could be a major potential resource and performance hog depending on how it could affect a user's PC. Microsoft makes potential CPU, RAM, disk hogging feature default on Windows 11 25H2, 24H2

Same for ssd's for gamers/consumers. Prices go up and people will now buy lower capacity ssd's. Same with prebuilt computers(desktops and Jokebooks). Even next gen smartphones will come with lower capacity memory/storage. Less is more. Isn't it for modern tech? And if you can't afford even an lower capacity modern ssd... The option is to go back to spinning hardrives. But buy them now. Because prices will go up on everything. Btw. It could be smart going with cheaper,still more expensive lower end hardware forwards. Because you may need save the extra money to pay the ever increasing electricity bill. Elizabeth Warren, other U.S. senators concerned about big tech pushing up electricity costs After Gobbling Up DRAM, NVIDIA & SK hynix Plan to Introduce an “AI SSD” With 10× Higher Performance, Ringing Alarms Over NAND Supply I hope Nova lake doesn't follow same pathern as the Jokebook sibling... But sure you'll get an much better iGPU and NPU. Core Ultra 7 365 Test Sample Gets Geekbenched, Scores Indicate Generational Regression As of this morning, a mysterious "Lenovo 4810X90100" test platform has produced slightly concerning benchmark scores. The freshly-archived database entry shows a next-gen laptop/notebook being driven by an unreleased Intel Core Ultra 7 365 "Panther Lake-H" mobile processor. Overall Geekbench 6.3 scores—2451 (single-core) and 9714 (multicore)—were swiftly noted down by keen trackers of emerging PC hardware.

Yup, as expected. Design over functionality. People get what they ask for. And the same was it for Nvidia when they designed the 4000 aad 5000 series FE cards. The 12V-2*6connector could have been slight bigger in size but then it would interrupt with their design goals (The tiny, cute GPU pcb). Ed Crisler says Sapphire used the 12V-2×6 connector on its card because it let them hide the plug and keep the build looking clean, which matters for the Nitro lineup Sapphire asks AMD for more freedom in partner GPU designs: “Let us go nuts” -Ed Crisler, Radeon-exclusive AIB Sapphire thoughts on 12VHPWR SK Hynix Expects DRAM Shortage Until 2028 According to an "internal analysis" reportedly from SK Hynix, the manufacturer expects the DRAM shortage to continue until 2028

Not sure why northwestrepair removed the short video. It was about UPS and wrong pricing on sent packages. Maybe he didn't understand how they set their pricing for shipping and suddenly understood it, hence he removed the video🙄

Hmmm. The AI trash from Microsoft coming everywhere. Even Mercedes-Benz will now use M$ AI stack for their software in their cars. Microsoft Copilot AI Comes to LG TVs, and Can't Be Deleted Microsoft's Copilot AI chatbot is arguably one of the most controversial add-ons ever implemented in the Windows 11 operating system.
