Microsoft give a damn what you or other think they should do. This is Microsoft requirements for the offer of free 1 year of security updates for Windows 10. Give us all your data and privacy even if you pay and your old Windows OS is safe the next 12-15 months. Great trade? Stupids. Microsoft says that the ESU is tied to your Microsoft account. Windows 10 extended security updates now require a Microsoft account -
ChatGPT vulnerability allows hidden prompts to steal Google Drive cloud data A single "poisonous" document can cause massive damage....... Chatbots and other AI services are increasingly making life easier for cybercriminals. A recently disclosed attack demonstrates how ChatGPT can be exploited to steal API keys and other sensitive data stored on popular cloud platforms.

Microsoft is very keen to get hands on all your data/privacy. Ready to give them everything bro @Mr. Fox ? Windows 10 extended security updates now require a Microsoft account One license covers ten devices, but a Microsoft account is mandatory Microsoft has clarified the details of its Extended Security Updates initiative for Windows 10, announcing that every enrollment method – whether paid or free – now requires users to sign in with a Microsoft Account. This move applies to all pathways, including the straightforward $30 purchase, redeeming Microsoft Rewards points, or enrolling via OneDrive settings backup.

Asus premium is awful. But they ain't alone scam you. They are just the worst company of them all. Look at this madness... Not that nvidia is much better going from $1000 to $2000 USD within 4 gen graphics cards. What to expect in the future from Nvidia and their AIB partners.... Cross flashing will fade away to justify the price premium. But look at the price premium for custom 5090 over previous gen custom 4090s. With the huge price premium over MSRP cards then expect cross flashing of firmware won't last forever. This loophole will be properly plugged. That's their (nvidia with their partners) next goal for their paying customers screwed. Firmware is their "golden ticket" for higher premium. Older Intel Raptor lake is still an good option for newer games. But the old Intel use a lot power😀 -
Microsoft getting help from game devs to throw fully functioning hardware to the landfill. How much did Redmond HQ pay them for this? Call of Duty Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6 Confirmed to Require Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 Both the upcoming online multiplayer shooters, "Call of Duty Black Ops 7" and "Battlefield 6," will feature anti-cheat and DRM measures that require Secure Boot. Activision, in a blog post on its Ricochet Anti-Cheat mechanism, confirmed that it will be a system requirement for the PC platform to have Secure Boot enabled, in addition to features such as a TPM 2.0 compatible hardware root of trust, including support for PCRs, sealing and binding. This would be the standard security policy for a fresh installation of Windows 11 24H2. Unlike "Battlefield 6," the latest "Call of Duty" doesn't seem to call for Virtualization-based Security (VBS) to be enabled. It's not just "Black Ops 7," even the current "Call of Duty Black Ops 6" starting with its Season 5 update, and "Warzone," will begin enforcing these new system requirements, since Activision will be updating the Ricochet Anti-Cheat component of those games.

What with Black Ops 6 ? Microsoft getting help from game devs. How much did Redmond HQ pay them for this? Black Ops 7 requires both TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on PC "Neither TPM 2.0 nor Secure Boot are required to play currently available Call of Duty titles; however, both will be required when Call of Duty®: Black Ops 7 launches in 2025. Keeping these settings enabled ensures a fair and fun experience for all players."

As deserved. Intel's CEO should be fired, and the Intel board of directors should resign in shame. Hire a man for Intel's future building software and hardware stack for US defence and at same time have invested his own money in +200 Chinese tech companies is perverse. Yup, the whole Intel board should sign of in shame!!!!! Trump: Called the CEO very confused – the stock is crashing "Lip-Bu Tan is deeply confused and must resign immediately. There is no other solution to this problem," Trump writes with generous use of caps lock on the Truth Social platform. Trump calls for Intel CEO to resign Yep. I still stand with my words... This can't wait. As I pointed out in previous post..... If you prefer doing business with your enemy you are the bigger fish. And when you penetrate your lands security for profits you as government adm should handle the tech leaders as the biggest fish in the water. And what with Nadella and Microsoft corp? He and the whole board should be fired/resign as well!!! Maybe fire Nadell before they live the board of executives. In shame. -

Yup if it is closer to 5070Ti pricing. Aka 5080 shouldn't cost a cent above $855 if you add the 14% perfomance gain on top. 56% more expensive for 14% more performance🥴 5080 vs 5070Ti. RTX 5050 is really really bad but this is a much more expensive graphics card. Many custom 5080 cards is above $1300. Or +1000$ above the 5050. Edit. Also here you see custom 5080s offer an bad value. A good custom 5090 flagship would offer a great value at $1999. Yep, still expensive but that would be a more correct price point in today's GPU market. And the 5090 FE should have been priced around $1699. Not $1999 as of today. If we look at 4090 FE at $1599 MSRP, and the 5090 FE priced at $1699 we would be slightly above 6% and well within two years inflation cycle. Aka a okish buy before the price premium for custom cards. This if we account for double the cores over 5080. -

Intel’s CEO Lip-Bu Tan & His Ties With Chinese Firms Are Now Being Questioned By US Lawmakers, Saying That It Might Compromise US National Security Is Intel’s New CEO Lip-Bu Tan Qualified To Run an American Business? Report Shows He Has Invested Over $200 Million+ In Hundreds Of Chinese Businesses Tan and his VC firm have invested millions into Chinese chip firms What I can see from all this.... Intel want a bigger bit of the Asian tech market. Hence the choice of Mr. LIP as Intel CEO. What he have done is immaterial? Should this be swept under the rug? Greed beat common sense. If you prefer doing business with your enemy you are the bigger fish. And when you penetrate your lands security for profits you as government adm should handle the tech leaders as the biggest fish in the water. -

If AMD can't produce more cutting edge Radeon cards than the overpriced 5090's maybe it's time to shut off the GPU business. But I guess every cents count on the bottom line to please the shareholders. Sell a lot Radeon GPUs but no where you see it in any statistics.... And all the talk about shortage of nvidia graphics cards after the launch due low production... Something is off. And Nvidia showed fantastic sales figures for the gaming division. AMD reports record $7.69 billion revenue but data center slowdown hits shares CEO Dr. Lisa Su said demand for its Radeon RX 9000 GPUs has outweighed supply -

Dang. Hello bro. +4 years at least since we crossed roads. Hope you're doing well. AMD needed a gaming chips (X3D) at Threadripper price point. Hope they don't break $1000. All depends on 52 core Nova Lake. It will be like this when Intel mixed the cores clusters for Arrow Lake. And they did it to reduce max temp for the more powerful P-cores. Desperate rescue of Intel: US to force TSMC to buy 49% to secure tariff advantages for Taiwan Intel credit rating hits rock bottom at Fitch, Intel sits at just two notches above junk status Hmmmm. 5080 and 5090 on Steam surway but none of the newest Radeon cards. And this is from Asia. 20% market share in an important Asian region and yet no penetration on Steam. This smells. South Korean GPU popularity market: 76% for NVIDIA, 21% for AMD and 3% for Intel -
Sad seing this. In Thailand/vietnam you can pay 7$ for the medical bill and there you go...... A simple doctor visit in US can cost above $300🥴 Billionaires, big corp and greed is a nasty and disgusting combo.

Worlds smallest overclock headroom? Not sure what Asus thinking. AMD Limits Overclocking Headroom of Radeon RX 9060 While AMD has not shared any official details on the RX 9060 clocks, we already know the spec lists a 2400 MHz game clock and a 2990 MHz boost clock. This was also confirmed by ASUS today. What is somewhat surprising is that their OC settings, applied through GPU Tweak software, only increase the clocks by 10 MHz. This is easily one of the lowest overclock frequencies we’ve seen on a modern GPU in years. -

Before that... Be prepered to pay more for the electricity years forwards. + the increased inflation will come on top. Huge data centers... They don't need many employees to function. Maybe a second job at MacDonald will help you all pay the increased bills. Same shityyy is happening here home. Huge data centers don't create many jobs. Yep, new data centers pop up to store cat videos. But they /DC help increase the electricity bills for everyone in the area they are pop up. Nice with more and more cat videos. I don't even own a cat. Why Data Centers And AI Are To Blame For Your Electric Bill Going Up Tue, Aug 05, 2025 As companies continue to invest heavily in AI, it has meant an increase in the number of data centers necessary to train and deploy the technology. These data centers are energy-intensive facilities, which is causing the cost of electricity to go up in just about every state, according to Axios. It comes at a time when Americans’ wallets are already being stretched by the costs of daily living. The U.S. Energy Information Administration shows that electricity bills this year have gone up nationwide compared to last year. Most states have seen an increase close to 10%, although those living in Maine are being hit with an eye-watering increase of roughly 36%. Only five states saw a decrease in costs, with Nevada leading the way with a decline of about 17%. Energy providers are having to rapidly invest in infrastructure such as transmission lines and other equipment, which are key parts of the grid, to be able to keep up with the demand generated by these data centers. In turn, companies pass the costs of these upgrades on to customers. Scammers Use AI to Mimic TikTok Shop Sellers to Steal Cash, Distribute Malware

I know good old man😀 But does the 9070(XT) sell so badly that they can't even reach up to 5070 or the heavly overpriced 5090 that is already represented on Steam? If so... Why not stop with GPU's ? Meanwhile 5070 (1.28%), 5080 (0.62%), 5070ti (0.60%), 5060 (0.57%), 5060ti (0.56%) and 5090 (0.21%), have all made enough penetration on Steam I know. But did the Intel board know that mr. Lip was a part of all this? The investigations have been going on for a while. I can't imagine the board didn't know. And if they didn't.... They have done a terrible job. -
The AI bubble is the data center bubble: €1 trillion investment, rampant spending, low revenue, imminent economic crisis? @Mr. Fox Just pray for the future. Your pension could be at risk. I have said it before... AI won't grow to heaven. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. And the tentacles don't end there: insurers, especially life insurance companies, have increased their exposure to high-risk debt. This is where the alarm bells start to ring. Private credit doesn't operate in a vacuum: it also needs financing, and much of it comes from traditional banks. In just ten years, the share of these loans in bank portfolios has grown from 1% to 14% . If all that money ends up in AI projects that don't meet expectations, the impact could drag down the entire financial system—at least, according to some economists who are crying foul over this AI bubble and warning of the risk of an economic crisis. Demand for hardware is constantly growing, the market is out of control, and reservations are made for later generations. Artificial Intelligence is attracting huge investments, much larger than we actually realize, so a question is beginning to gain traction in certain financial circles: Are they digging the same hole that led to the collapse of other major bubbles of the past? Is this AI bubble headed straight for an unprecedented economic crisis? Well, there are already warnings, and there's no shortage of data, because hardware and infrastructure are priced at gold.
