Every % increase counts.... Linux Just Hit a Big Milestone in the Desktop OS Race According to Statcounter's June 2025 stats, spotted by TechSpot, Linux now has a 5.38% share of the US desktop operating system market, its highest-ever result. But though Linux is holding a bigger slice of the pie than ever before, OSes from tech giants like Apple and Microsoft still control the vast majority of the market. Microsoft's Secure Boot UEFI bootloader signing key expires in September, posing problems for Linux users

And how will that work with the AIB partners? You often have 3 years warranty for the GPU. I expect the warranty also follow everything coming in the GPU package as the 12VHPWR dongle. Have to fight with the AIB partners everytime the tiny trash fail, it will be fun being consumer. Many will still use those dongles that follow in the package. That tiny microfit 12V-2*6 connector shouldn't be specced with 600W as jonny Guru at Corsair so clever said. Standard pitch is 4.2mm for 8-pin connectors. And the 12V-2*6 microfit connector have 3.0mm pitch terminals. In reality, those 8-pin connectors can handle more current because you have 4.2mm pitch terminals vs. 3.0 pitch and they're spread out more which helps dissipate heat. That's facts. And the hook and hatch is so damn small and fragile that they slip of from small vibrations/ or you reroute cables is more than enough to make the connection to fail. Some brands of cables don't even offer a hook that you can feel is there. Let us get 8-pin EPS connectors as I already said. Then add proper circuitry to balance the the wires back as minimum failsafe feature. The only reason the 12V-2*6 connector is so small is because Nvidia prefer make small cute PCB for their FE/Pro models. There is simply not enough space to fit bigger power connectors. In short a failure from smart engineers. Also Intel's failure and tragedy continue.... No thanks to this as well... Intel's Arrow Lake Refresh processors could WILL disappoint Of course you struggle if you can't compete due making bad products. The failure above just confirm it. Intel To Lay Off 5,500 Employees Across U.S., With Major Cuts In Oregon, California, And Arizona Amid Mounting Competitive, Financial Pressures Intel is shutting down Clear Linux OS No reason for abandonment has been highlighted, but it is likely that this decision is backed by cost-cutting measures. @Prema you are in the news🙂 Hope al is well with you.

Not sure what happens at nvidia reddit forum (remove the OP post and his pictures but let the cancer post continue in the replies below). But nvidia have created this mess by themself. Disgusting prices and the use of wrong power connectors for their newer gaming cards. They should have done as with their older gen Pro cards and used 8-pin EPS connectors. All newer gen graphics cards should come with this adapter. One for up to 300w and dual for everything above up to 600W. But nvidia preferred cute, tiny and noisy graphics design. Interestingly, the card’s 8-pin EPS connector is analogous to the motherboard’s 8-pin EPS. Here you could either connect a suitable EPS cable directly or 2x 6+2-pin PCIe via the included adapter. NVIDIA has it with Ampere thus really with new ways with the connection of the power supply. Btw. China is disgusting. And we all know why used cards come without the die and vram if you buy on the used market. The US chip ban (Joke) and Nvidia(laugh at it) have made a new industri in china, LOL The whole tech industri make cancerware nowadays. Just wait to see when Nvidia put more money on sofware than in their hardware for raw horsepower. And same will happen for Intel and AMD. Then you have Microsoft lurking in the background with their failures/buggy OS. Yep, it doesn't look promising. -

@Mr. Fox What is wrong with Nvidia Reddit mod team. Why can't the users of nvidia products post pict and stories about their melted cables and graphics cards? I have seen the same disgusting behaviour from Nvidia reddit mods several times. So this is the normal in that reddit forum. I posted this on /nvidia and they removed it 🙂 And 8GB Blackwell card at $334.99 is an fantastic deal. Isn't it?🙄 At least you can avoid the 12V-2*6 connector, that's something.... https://wccftech.com/gigabyte-aero-rtx-5060-available-for-budget-gamers-at-334-99/ -

Intel will get rid of P-cores. The future for Intel is loads of E-cores. @Mr. Fox You have hoped for more cores a very long time. Intel has finally heard your dreams and now wants to make them come true. Happy?😀 Using only energy-efficient cores will achieve improved performance per watt and will not suffer from the high consumption problems that they do with P-Cores. Intel Razer Lake will be the last architecture with P-Cores by 2027 and Titan Lake will arrive in 2028 with 100 E-Cores (96 E-Cores #separated into two 48-core dies# and 4 very low-power LPE cores). Yup. And it will be hard come back in business. So better get rid of all workers while they can and just keep the bare minimum. Could be that the shareholders don't lose everything with bare minimum of activity. But growing/expand... Forget it. Bring back more of the well paid jobs to US. Maybe McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Chick-fil-A, and Subway will expand in affected areas and create the needed jobs for former high paid employees, LOL Intel allegedly planning more Oregon layoffs — new report says retreating operation could become a liability to the state -

Won't happen as you can see. Not even with Trump. The US government with their administration have no intention to stop Nvidia floding China with expensive AI chips. You said all nations should cut off China... And here you see the Us go in front. But not the way you hope for. Greed and corruption will always win the in the end. The fun facts... Now as Nvidia can continue do almost whatever they want, the US citizens will pay the price. RememberTariffs is pure tax on own citizens. This on top of even higher prices (inflation) due nvidia can flood China with US made tech. And US made AI technology will also help the country to reduce their costs even further, making them even more competitive than they are today. So double tripple bad for the land of the free. NVIDIA H20 AI Chip Sales To China Set To Resume After Meeting With Trump by Paul Lilly - Tue, Jul 15, 2025 NVIDIA's stock price is climbing this morning, and it's no doubt the result of the chip designer confirming it has the White House's preliminary approval to resume selling H20 chips to China. Not just NVIDIA, AMD has a green light to sell its custom-built GPU to China too. Trump lightens chip bans on China, AMD to restart MI308 AI chip sales in the country, joining Nvidia's H20 — Both AMD and NVIDIA have made it clear that the Chinese market is critical to their business, to the extent that they develop specialized data center processors. Yup. Profits over anything. What a weak decision from decision makers. Max Profits over the lands own good🤕 And Nvidia and AMD are laughing all the way to the bank (After today’s announcement, AMD shares jumped following a similar rise for NVIDIA). I expect the U.S. government administration need more income in from big corps as >nvidia and AMD to be able to reduce the taxes they promised for the rich part of its population. And more of the same... China First. Isn't that correct slogan? What a failure from the US government. We all know how top skilled Chinese engineers/hackers will make US made tech to work better for their needs. This news stems from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s third visit to China in 2025 that he made yesterday. He reportedly used the visit to personally present the RTX 6000D and other compliant AI solutions to key Chinese partners, signaling both goodwill and urgency. Nvidia reportedly preparing RTX 6000D for Chinese market to comply with U.S. export controls The company plans to begin shipping the card in Q3 of 2025, with an ambitious target of 1-2 million units by year-end, aiming to recoup over $10 billion in faltering revenue. -
Microsoft will use all their dirty tricks they can find. Windows 10 Will Stop Receiving New Office Features in 2026 After August 2026, Microsoft 365 Apps for personal accounts will only receive security updates until the end of support in August 2028. After these dates, your Office apps will remain on version 2608 and only receive security updates until Oct. 10, 2028, Microsoft says. This appears to be another attempt by Microsoft to encourage users to upgrade to Windows 11. The support page warns users about the performance and reliability issues that may arise when using Microsoft 365 on Windows 10 after the OS gets phased out in October this year. It also warns users that if they face issues with Microsoft 365 apps after October, support offered by customer service will be limited. For example, if there's a Microsoft 365 issue specific to Windows 10, the customer support executives will ask you to upgrade to Windows 11.

You don't need as many workers if you can't make the chips yourself. Just get rid of the entire workforce and be fabless as AMD. Intel's CEO Mr. Lip doing the work killing Intel the way we know from before. Next level on this saga.... Intel's fired enginneers will move forwards over to Chinese tech companies. Payback time? Are Mr. Lip Intel's saviour? Not so sure about that. All the greedy shareholder (the board of directors where Lip was a part of) has to be blamed for this. Break up Intel this way don't fix the problem. You need to spend the needed money on R&D to earn money in tech space. And the whole world lack tech savvy engineers. But Intel prefer to get rid of them to cut cost. What if there is not more to cut? Close down every factory and throw the keys? Make America Great Again. Yup, Intel show the way🙄 This is just sad.

Whether you check the latest data for the GPU sales on major retailers like Amazon or the latest Steam Hardware Survey, the RTX 50 sales are not only higher than before but the availability is now stable. Despite this, the Chinese market continues to see limited supply of the Founders Editions of the RTX 50 series GPUs. Why does AMD prioritize China and Asia over western countries? Always like this.

My take om this. Consumers will always come second or last. Big business can continue as usual as long the government administration is filled with billionaires, millioners, corruption and greed. And worse it will be. Be you sure. If they wanted they could make it easier for the paying consumers. Why do you think Nvidia can continue as they do and go outside the US chip ban? Kindness from the overlords or the king? Nope. Corruption all over the line. Yep, throw the citizens they serve under the bus. And nothing will be better. Just worse. Fake news can go both ways. It all depends on where you sit on the fence. Anyway, being screwed by the authorities (those that meant to serve you) is more the normal. Not the opposite. -

Dishonesty is everywhere. From big corp to slimy scammers. Yup, there is bastards everywhere. And China make fool of the US Chip ban. As long the US government with their administration don't stop Jensen nothing will stop China from getting all the needed chips from nvidia......
