Windows 10 exposes Windows 11: nine months of updates reveal more flaws in the OS Microsoft wants you to use Microsoft has a rather worrying problem with Windows 11, one it hasn't quite resolved, at least if it wants to convince us to switch operating systems. The first thing they should be looking at in Redmond is ensuring their updates inspire confidence, and the 2026 update history certainly doesn't help matters. A review of the patches released between January and September of this year shows Windows 10 ahead in stability compared to Windows 11 in 2026, with fewer documented issues than its successor. The system that should justify the upgrade is giving us too many reasons to stay put.

Does this mean this below is a steal? There is buyers out there, no doubt. But for $6000 and above? Not ordinary buyers for sure. 5090 is someone's only chance to get close to a "real" AI/workstation cards below $10K🙄 10,000 Walmart shoppers added a $4,299 RTX 5090 to their cart before it sold out The GPU Madness Has Come to This: 9070 XT vs. 5060 Ti 16GB GPU Pricing Has Turned a Ridiculous Comparison Into a Real Buying Decision As I understand it, and please note that I am far from an expert on this AI stuff, there is significantly greater demand for the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB than the Radeon RX 9070 XT among users running AI workloads locally. And the US introduced chip ban is a joke... Nvidia knows it very well. They have no intention to guide their AIC partners what they should or not. DeepSeek is devouring RTX 5090s for AI in China: stock is disappearing and prices are skyrocketing across the market Buying an NVIDIA RTX 5090 is becoming a virtually impossible mission, and the problem is no longer just gamers looking for the fastest gaming graphics card on the market. DeepSeek has turned NVIDIA's consumer GPUs into... Herein lies the problem. US restrictions have limited China's access to NVIDIA's most powerful accelerators, while DeepSeek R1 is heavily optimized for NVIDIA hardware and software . When you can't buy enough accelerators specifically designed for AI, the next option is fairly obvious: look to gaming GPUs. AMD denies direct sales of restricted chips to China after Dylan Patel calls for an investigation into the company for "treason" AMD denies direct supply and points to diversions by third parties Yup, you really need the two layer warranty claim protection on MSI cards... Because their yellow fire cracker is doomed to fail. And how easy is it for people ta ask for new 4 headed dongle from MSI if you see problems (when you see or measure uneven pin load) before they turn into the usual brown and black? Or do you need to use the yellow pig until it melts before they will send you working replacements? Hmmmm, fun times dealing with modern/cutting edge tech🤮 I think you should be safe at least with Asus. Nine brands responded on whether it’s better to use a native 12V-2×6 cable or the bundled GPU adapter Recommend the bundled adapter (the cable that ships with the graphics card) ASUS: “The included GPU adaptor is recommended for the best usage experience…” MSI: “MSI officially recommend using the adaptor provided with the graphics card.” GIGABYTE: “We strongly recommend using the original cable... RTX 5090 12V-2×6 connector reaches 91.7°C with DLSS 5, 16-pin input peaks at 647W

This is nice... Double trouble and stupidity on top. What a combo. All PNY GPUs that require a 16-pin (12VHPWR / 12V-2x6) input include a PNY-approved power cable or adapter in the box. This cable is the only configuration covered under warranty. If a third-party power cable, adapter, or PSU cable is used and damage occurs - including melting, burning, overheating, or deformation of the connector - PNY cannot accept the product under warranty. Damage caused by non-PNY cables falls under the responsibility of the manufacturer of that cable or power supply.

HP and Lenovo laptops are the latest victims of a Windows 11 update Microsoft's August update (KB5121003) is reportedly corrupting BIOS on HP laptops and disabling AC charging on Lenovo laptops.

What you last expected from your damn expensive adventure... Screwed by bad design. Or is it a new joke by AI? Nope, it's due greed. To cut on costs. "Printed with ink" onto the bracket's surface rather than etched for better durability. For comparison, the last-generation GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition had its serial number laser-etched onto the metal bracket. "Cost reduction!" is the most plausible explanation for the switch from laser etching to ink printing, as laser engraving equipment and process time add manufacturing cost per unit that ink printing avoid. RTX 5090 Owner Says NVIDIA Refused His RMA After Faded Serial Number, As More Redditors Report The Same GPU Defect News Source: Reddit Stupid engineering.....

Todays joke. Asus is the goat, LOL Asus' ludicrous 20th anniversary bundle is now the cheapest way to buy an RTX 5090 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Prices Blow Through the Roof, Now Starting at Over $6000 & Going Beyond $9000 While Chinese AI Firms Continue to Gobble Up Gaming Cards in Bulk

Still 5090's here home.... But the stocks are tightening up. The real scalpers is back. $5000 USD ain't enough. Far from enough🙄 Nvidia's RTX 5090 vanishes from online retail in the US Gaming takes a backseat as Nvidia overhauls the RTX 5090 for maximum AI margins The RTX Pro 5500 features the GB202 silicon, the powerhouse die that powers other high-end mainstream and professional Blackwell graphics cards, including the GeForce RTX 5090, RTX Pro 6000, and RTX Pro 5000. In fact, the RTX Pro 5500 uses the same die as the GeForce RTX 5090, which means 170 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) are enabled out of a possible 192. As a result, the RTX Pro 5500 has 21,760 CUDA cores and offers performance comparable to the GeForce RTX 5090.

Here’s why RTX 5090 costs $5,000: AI firms are buying gaming GPUs by the pallet The images show pallets filled with brand-new retail gaming cards waiting to be removed from their boxes and installed into multi-GPU systems. These are not RTX PRO 6000 cards or dedicated data center accelerators. They are GeForce RTX 5090 cards, the same products NVIDIA sells and markets to PC..... At the end of the day, the RTX 5090 is no longer a gaming card. And this one looks very bad...

Windows 11 September Update Kills Audio Output on Some PCs Windows 11 continues its streak of breaking things, as Microsoft has confirmed that there is an issue with the latest September security update. According to the updated support document, Microsoft confirmed that the KB5124008 Windows security update can break audio output on some PCs. Specifically, this security update introduces issues with USB audio devices, where users of these audio output devices can't get any output from them. Messages include "This device cannot start (Code 10)" in the device manager, which fails to recognize some devices, while other symptoms can include unresponsive volume controls, no volume at all, no audio output, unresponsive sound settings, or the complete lack of detection in the device manager.

Still no problem get 5090's. But you pay a huge amount money. I expect the gamers don't buy them anymore. Only people that really need the 32GB frame buffer. Lots of ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC = 5,328,61 United States Dollar (MSRP). Cheapest 5090 is the Gainward GeForce RTX 5090 Phantom GS - 4,676,12 USD🙄 And where will this ends? It seems the aib partners don't need to touch the prices for the 5090's right now. They are already above $5000. Now they try pump up the prices on the mid tier cards.
