Gigabyte is back with a new OLED Super Ultrawide monitor and with its more accessible price tag, this seems like it could be a solid choice for those who want complete immersion. Plouffe is here to check it out and see if he has monitor purchase regret (again!)

Take a look at these upgraded Unreal Engine 5 tech demos and captured gameplay in 4K with the amazing RTX 4090. Lumen, Nanite, Photogrammetry, DLSS 3.5... Check these amazing graphics that look like real life!

It's nice to see that this GPU is still a viable option for 1080p.

Well done guys!

We recently talked about programs that you should never install... but what about when some of the most popular games of all time contain security risks?! Let's talk about it!

Visible is introducing a new "annual plan" option that gives customers the option of paying for a whole year of service in advance, in exchange for a discount. The premium Visible+ plan is available for $395/year, a savings of $145 (over 26%) compared the usual $45/month rate. The standard "Visible" plan is $275/year, a savings of $25. The two plans are otherwise the same as the monthly options, including unlimited data, talk, text, and hotspot on the Verizon 5G network. New customers can sign up for an annual plan starting this Wednesday, while existing customers will be able to switch to annual payment in May.

Neural processing units (NPUs) such as Apple's Neural Engine or the machine learning engine on Google Tensor chips can be found on the iPhone and the Pixel. How do they help run AI right on your phone?

Just how far is Intel falling behind in 2024? Here's the Core Ultra 7 155H in the new Dell XPS 14 vs Apple's M3 Pro MacBook Pro. We test EVERYTHING to find out which one is the better choice! This laptop was the CLEAR winner in terms of value!

The Razer Blade 14 is the perfect example of a 2024 laptop. Less design changes, more "AI", a Ryzen 8000 series CPU, competitors like the Zephyrus G14 catching up performance updates that go nowhere. But, since they were so far ahead, this still might mean the Razer Blade 14 is one of the best 14" gaming laptops on the planet....or....

We have talked about what software every PC should have... but today we are going to talk about what software you should NEVER install... EVER!

Intel announced its plans to compete with NVIDIA - namely, the H100 - in the burgeoning AI space. Its plans include a new Gaudi 3 AI accelerator card, a push for more open standards than NVLink (like ethernet), and Xeon 6 CPUs.

Check it out!

The Lenovo Yoga lineup has so many models its easy to get confused between the Yoga Pro 9i, Yoga Pro 7, Yoga 9i 2 in 1, Yoga Slim 7i and Yoga 7i 2 in 1. What makes them different other than price? Well let's try to explain the whole Lenovo Yoga lineup in 2024 for Battery Life, Performance, and more.

A man is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could've lived, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from a most terrifying foe: himself.

We've done plenty of build guides before - But now we're taking it to the next level. Not only will you know how to build a PC, you'll know how to build ANY PC - This is the LAST guide you'll ever need, now updated for 2024!

The Intel 300 is the first in the new lineup of Celeron and Pentium successors. Today we're seeing what, if anything, it can do. We'll also be comparing it to the last desktop Pentium, the G7400, as well as one of the best budget choices right now, the i3 12100F.

Today we're installing Wubuntu on an early 2011 Macbook Pro. It seems like a modern day Lindows, allowing you to run Windows software on a Windows-like Linux, but can it live up to the developer's hype?

Today we take a look at Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 24H2, this is an official Microsoft release coming in 2024.

We all think that the best smartphones in 2024 are the most expensive. But what happens if I told you there's a smarphone that costs 1/10th the price of some flagships but gives 95% of their features? Well, say hello to a shockingly good option for almost everyone.

The video we didn't think we needed but are glad to have, the market is weary at times and LTT guiding us let's us know he's doing gods work.

Apple announced its wireless charging mat AirPower in full glory in 2017. However, the device couldn't see the daylight due to technical limitations. Now, a video shared by Apple Demo on X (formerly Twitter) shows a prototype AirPower charging mat powering an Apple Watch. Apple Demo noted that AirPower gets quite warm as it manages to charge the Apple Watch, "given wireless chargers today generally can't charge Apple Watches." For reference, the Apple Watch relies on a magnetic puck charger to power itself wirelessly.

It's amazing that Apple Watch charging works, given wireless chargers today generally can't charge Apple Watches. However, the Apple Watch on AirPower gets quite warm. #appleinternal pic.twitter.com/GfywG3KZS9

Hardware news this week recaps a one-sentence AMD Zen 5 rumor that set the internet ablaze, a one-page shipping manifest containing Intel Arc Battlemage that also set the internet ablaze, ASUS' new Mjolnir not-a-joke battery bank, SSD prices climbing with flash contract price increases, Intel's $7B loss and some fuzzy accounting math, and more! Busy week!

Why would you need a robot to knock an orange off your desk? :-D

In a report from The Hacker News, security researcher Bartek Nowotarski was credited with reporting the issue to Carnegie Mellon's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center on January 25. The vulnerability, known as HTTP/2 CONTINUATION Flood, exploits improperly configured HTTP/2 implementations that fail to limit or sanitize the CONTINUATION frames in a requests' data stream.

New HTTP/2 #vulnerability discovered.

"CONTINUATION Flood" attacks can lead to denial-of-service (DoS). This could cause crashes and serious website disruptions.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of PC cooling technology as we conduct a precision static pressure test on a 3D printed PC fan featuring an innovative Anti-Stall Ring. In this follow-up to our fan showdown series, we use a Fluke 922 airflow meter and a custom static pressure test bed to measure the fan's performance under controlled conditions.

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is the Greatest GPU of All Time thanks to a mix of value, performance, and timing on a market teeming with excellent choices. It was an era when the AMD RX 580 was largely competing in the mid-range with the GTX 1060, Vega hadn't yet launched, and Intel Arc didn't even exist as a thought in anyone's mind. In this 2024 revisit & benchmark of the GTX 1080 Ti & GTX 1080 (non-Ti), we're looking at performance today and how it compares to modern graphics cards. Upgrades on the NVIDIA side might include the RTX 4070 Ti Super or RTX 4070 Super if spending less, or maybe an RTX 4080 Super for more; on the AMD side, that is more likely an RX 7900 XT or RX 7900 XTX, or possibly the "new" GRE (with its global launch). The GTX 1080 Ti and 1080 Pascal architecture GPUs can't reasonably handle real-time ray tracing, so obviously those charts are absent. A modern card is effectively infinitely better. But for rasterization, they still hang in there.

What are the best new movies and series coming to Netflix this month? Let's count down the Top New Releases on Netflix in April 2024!

It's time to put my sleight of hand to the ultimate slow-mo test. I've filmed a series of magic tricks in front of my slow motion camera capturing footage at 360 frames per second (that's 12 times slower than real-time).

Episode 27: Two discussion topics in this podcast episode, firstly on CPU/GPU scaling and when it makes sense to upgrade a CPU vs a GPU, and then we re-rank all the current GPUs from worst to best. Lots of interesting chat in this one!

The company stated that its stablecoin will revolutionize the transparency of its reserves. The company noted that the values of the stablecoin will be fixed at a ratio of one to one with the United States dollar and that its reserves will depend on various assets. The company states that some of these assets include deposits in US dollars, short-term treasuries issued by the US government, and other cash equivalents. Ripple Labs has announced that it will conduct a comprehensive audit by consulting a third party and it will publish monthly attestations immediately after the stablecoin is introduced.

Hardware news this week talks about one of the first Intel Arc Battlemage appearances in a while -- hopefully pointing toward more to come -- as the new architecture preps for launch. We also cover a solo developer's project to make what will eventually be an open source GPU, Microsoft's renewed interest in handheld gaming, a $1400 monitor, and AMD launching yet more AM4 CPUs. Oh, and Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is the second thinnest and lightest foldable phone around, measuring 11.2mm thick when folded and weighing 236g. Despite its sleekness, it has arguably the best camera system, and by far the largest battery at 5,700 mAh, and also two ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. It also runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Dave details how to set up OPNSense on a miniPC and how to configure it as a transparent filtering bridge. He also sets up IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) via Suricata and deploys the ClamAV antivirus solution on the router.

Dave explores virtualization and hypervisors, including both Type 1 (Proxmox, Hyper-V) and Type 2 (Virtual PC, VirtualBox)

Great review. One thing I noted from another reviewer's video is that you can get the NAS into the UEFI setup by SSHing in and mounting the EFI partition of the preinstalled UGOS SSD, and then rename the EFI folder to something else so the UEFI BIOS doesn't detect it as a bootable drive. Once you reboot you'll automatically be dropped into the setup or any other bootable device you have attached. This seems to resolve the ambiguity in UGREEN's statement about installing a different OS since you don't need to disassemble the NAS and break the warranty sticker, and it's completely reversible if you don't wipe the UGOS SSD.

What do Zen 5, Arc Battlemage and NVIDIA RTX 50 GPUs Have In Common? - Tech News March 31

The new Antec Constellation C8 is a dual chamber case that might look like the O11 Dynamic but it actually fixes many of the problems associated with Dual Chamber PC cases. Everything from the C8 airflow to its building experience has been refined after learning all the lessons from past dual chamber cases.

If you are tired for paying for Cloud Storage like Google Drive or ICloud? Then we found the NAS Device for you! This tiny computer is so small it can fit in your pocket and have over 30TB of SSD Storage. For under $100 you can have a powerful ARM based board to call youre own!

Today we're "reviewing" the GameMAX "Hype," which DEFINITELY ISN'T inspired by a Hyte Y60. The Hype case is anywhere from $100 to $200, depending on where and when you look, and has poorly copied nearly every aspect of the Hyte Y60. We haven't seen a ripoff this egregious previously, and that's because even the product page has literal copied & pasted text from real Hyte's product pages. This is part of our new case testing methodology that we debuted for 2024.

Today, Red Hat warned users to immediately stop using systems running Fedora development and experimental versions because of a backdoor found in the latest XZ Utils data compression tools and libraries.

"PLEASE IMMEDIATELY STOP USAGE OF ANY FEDORA 41 OR FEDORA RAWHIDE INSTANCES for work or personal activity," Red Hat warned on Friday.

"No versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) are affected. We have reports and evidence of the injections successfully building in xz 5.6.x versions built for Debian unstable (Sid). Other distributions may also be affected."

Debian's security team also issued an advisory warning users about the issue. The advisory says that no stable Debian versions are using the compromised packages and that XZ has been reverted to the upstream 5.4.5 code on affected Debian testing, unstable, and experimental distributions.

Microsoft software engineer Andres Freund discovered the security issue while investigating slow SSH logins on a Linux box running Debian Sid (the rolling development version of the Debian distro).

However, he has not found the exact purpose of the malicious code added to XZ versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1.

"I have not yet analyzed precisely what is being checked for in the injected code, to allow unauthorized access. Since this is running in a pre-authentication context, it seems likely to allow some form of access or other form of remote code execution," Freund said.  

"Initially starting sshd outside of systemd did not show the slowdown, despite the backdoor briefly getting invoked. This appears to be part of some countermeasures to make analysis harder."

Interesting how this backdoor can lead to an sshd compromise.

"openssh does not directly use liblzma. However debian and several other distributions patch openssh to support systemd notification, and libsystemd does depend on lzma."
