GeForce RTX 5090 prices rise again as custom models exceed €2,600 ($3000+). xx90 cards ages as fine wine. Just look at 4090's 🙂 It’s that time of year when we look at the latest price cuts for top-tier graphics cards. Most RTX 50 models and even AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 series have seen price drops, except for the RX 9070 XT. Meanwhile, demand for the RTX 5090 is rising again, and retailers are reacting as quickly as gas stations after a spike in oil prices. I expect Asus don't follow the trend and start reach new highs with their cards. They are already one of the most expensive in the market. But this is probably too much to ask for🙄

The bigger you are, the harder you fall. Inflated values due to AI business (madness) will destroy someone's wealth/retirement savings. Nvidia is the recipe for a real bubble. No trees grow to the sky. NVIDIA becomes the first company in history to be worth $5 trillion NVIDIA's value is now greater than the GDP of every country on Earth, excluding the United States and China, as it becomes the first $5 trillion company, and it was only three months ago that it was worth $4 trillion. And AI is perfect for tasks like this. Aka useless. @Mr. Fox Nvidia screw users, LOL A deepfake Jensen Huang outperformed Nvidia's real GTC keynote on YouTube – with five times the viewers Promoting a crypto scam, of course A YouTube creator accuses Microsoft of being behind the action and rants about Google’s use of AI. Amazon plans to lay off up to 30,000 corporate employees as AI gains more prominence due to its productivity Reuters exclusively revealed last night that Amazon announced a significant new restructuring of its corporate workforce to its employees. Yup, you can trust AI...... AI mistakes a bag of Doritos for a gun, calls the cops According to a local news report from WBAL-TV 11 News, an "artificial intelligence detector" called the cops on a student at a Baltimore County school for mistaking a bag of Doritos for a gun. Apparently, the student was outside his high school, eating some Doritos and chatting to friends. Taki Allen, told reporters that "eight cop cars" pulled up with officers pointing their guns at him, asking him to get on the ground, on the suspicion that he was carrying a firearm. "They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back, and cuffed me," Allen said. "Then, they searched me and they figured out I had nothing."

I'm not worried about the sense wires if they are crimped/mounted correctly to the tiny trash connector. This haven't been a problem with none of the 12VHPWR adapters from the GPU AIB or cables from PSU manufacturers. I would be more worried if I bought the adapters/cables from not known manufacturer. The main problem is the crappy power connector... Not the cables used. The whole connector is flawed and new "lipstick on a pig" aka implement stealthSense features doesn't change a bit. It's still a pig🙂 What the heck....

Second time within two days. Welcome to AI mod team. AI everywhere now. And this useless tech make the life harder for everyone. This is just the beginning. Look at this beauty... A marvel of the modern AI world we live in. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/fake-nvidia-gtc-stream-hosting-jensen-huang-deepfake-crypto-scam-garners-100-000-youtube-viewers-video-was-even-promoted-above-nvidias-real-event

Hmmm. The StealthSense feature was made only because the two thin sense wires on all CableMod 12VHPWR cables went lose from the mini connector and hence many users that bought cables from them run into blackscreen/no working Gpu. The orginal adapers coming in the GPU package and 12VHPWR cables from PSU manufacturers didn't suffer from this. So a huge load of RMA also for their 12VHPWR cables. Not a quality sign for their products as I see it. Just a band aid fix for their bad QC and quality problems. And I know.... Because I was the first one to see their products in development. The first rough drawings of their StealthSense feature. Long before anyone. This was brought up in PM with me from CM before they found out to ban me from their Reddit forum. Aka they tried to silence me for telling the truth about their trash/bad quality products.

Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows

Nice. What do people expect from Microsoft nowadays? Users aren't happy with Copilot AI taking over the Microsoft 365 app What was once a simple but useful app has turned into an annoying advertisement for Copilot and AI features.

The CableMod moment for Cooler Master. What do those two companies have common? They both have the abbreviation CM, and both tried to reinvent the wheel. Do they also use same engineers and use same factory for their flawed products? Cooler Master tries to save its image after admitting serious defects in the 12V-2x6 90º connector, recommending its manipulation.

YouTube has become a huge mess. And worse it will become. Greed and stupidity paired with AI is an awful combo bro @Mr. Fox

Exactly what @electrosoft looks for from modern software🙂 OCCT version 15 adds coil whine detection that doesn't require a microphone — popular stress tester gets genius new feature to silence your PC Me. I just bought this one. Around $167 USD incl the dreaded Norwegian tax and with shipping. Not the black but the white version due the price cut when we ordered. The black one was $50 above. I hope I don't regret going cheapo, LOL

LOL Yet another failure.... Intel will prioritize Artificial Intelligence, leaving its CPUs and GPUs for PCs and laptops in the background. Intel is at a crossroads. After two years in the red, the company is returning to profit, as we saw this morning, thanks to three external pillars: NVIDIA, SoftBank, and the United States government. However, Intel has acknowledged that it doesn't have enough chips and that its immediate priority will not be consumer products, i.e., PCs and laptops, but AI, which is where its CPUs and GPUs will be targeted. “We expect CCG, our consumer chip business, to decline slightly, while DCAI, our server chips, will grow strongly because we will prioritize server capacity over entry-level processors ,” the executive explained. Also AMD milk hard on the ongoing AI bubble... Add 16GB vram and you get double the price of 9070XT consumer cards. Radeon AI Pro R9700 with 32 GB available next week AMD announces: The Radeon AI Pro 9700 will be available starting October 27th at a price of $1,299.

ROG Xbox Ally X is up to 32% faster when you replace Windows with Linux The new ROG Xbox Ally X makes clear one of the main problems of the consoles, and this is none other than the Windows 11 operating system. This makes clear the reason for the success of the Steam Deck, and that is that with very humble hardware you get a lot..

Microsoft says it’s serious about turning Windows 11 into an “AI-native” operating system Microsoft activates Gaming Copilot AI without permission in Windows 11, sparking controversy: zero privacy, worse gaming performance Microsoft is once again under fire for its privacy management in Windows 11

Investors continue to sound the alarm on the inevitable burst of the AI bubble Bottom line: Despite Big Tech pouring trillions into AI initiatives and building massive new data centers, the expected returns may never materialize. Analysts warn that the hype far outpaces reality, creating a precarious financial bubble that could have ripple effects across the broader economy. Damn uselful. Microsoft use AI fo all it's worth.

Yep, spot on. QC means you also should test the products you have created. I'm sure some will use it after they bought it🙄 Warning: Cooler Master misleads customers in the official power supply support to self-destruct their 12V 2×6 connector Summary and conclusion The sobering conclusion after all these tests is clear: Cooler Master could never have tested this cable in its current form under real-world conditions. No manufacturer who had even once attempted to insert this connector into a current high-end GPU like an RTX 5090 Suprim, a 4090 Strix, or similar cards would have been able to avoid this design without noticing the massive design flaw. Yup. People are their worst enemy. Critical thinking is completely absent. Btw. Me pay for almost nothing? Nope. Let the premium buyers link to their articles, LOL https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cooler-master-tells-customer-to-dismantle-12v2x6-connector-to-fit-asus-rtx-5070-ti-—-customer-service-offers-dubious-advice-that-might-not-even-fix.3888011/post-23553389 Wonder how many articles being linked from TS to others after the paywall? Any numbers bro @Mr. Fox? Is less better than a lot?

One thing for sure... Microsoft want everything from your privacy/data. Give them one of your fingers and they will take the whole hand. Windows Recall might be storing more data than you think. Here's what to do Microsoft Recall adds an AI-based search feature to Windows 11 based on screenshots of the screen content. This also creates problems and concerns regarding data protection. Over 800 public figures, including "AI godfathers" and Steve Wozniak, sign open letter to ban superintelligent AI Politicians, celebrities, and even royalty have signed the letter

If you can't earn money from AI then do the next best thing to increase profits. Is AI really behind layoffs, or just a convenient excuse for companies? Are companies using the technology as a scapegoat?

The yellow dragon continue offer melt hell. How big marketshare have MSI over all other Nvidia AIB partners? Also Apple have created a monster that change color this year.... The trend is obvious. iPhone 17 Pro Max loses color: Apple demands 99 euros to fix it and blames the user for the color change. And what is better than ask Asus for help? Yup, Asus know exactly how to set "correct prices" for hardware. Microsoft points finger at Asus for the ROG Xbox Ally's hefty pricing The president of the Xbox division said that pricing for the ROG Xbox Ally ($600 to $1,000) is in the hands of Asus. Microsoft let Asus set the prices for Xbox Rog Ally, confirms Xbox President "That is all of their insight into the market, into the feature set, into what people want, to determine the ultimate prices of the devices,” said Sarah Bond, confirming that the company relied on Asus' experience in handhelds Greed to get to the final price. Edit. A new one. Of course from Msi. Around 5 melted cards each week now. Freddie even matching the same color on his shirt, LOL

What? Then it looks like the new backplate design for the 5000 series HOF is a lot worse than the 4000 series. And no thermal pads for the backplate? This is sad to see. But glad to see they still continue with no cut out for the backplate under the die chips. And I mean I have never seen HOF cards with melted 12VHPWR connectors. That's good. Here's the teardown of the 4090 HOF Did you test the full speed fan button on the IO shield? What you think about the noise level?
