welcome to the cool Halloween house where we give all the good
trick-or-treaters Tech news give us a trick however and uh oh look out
pictures of a prototype Radeon RX 7900
reference card were supposedly leaked on the Chinese messaging app QQ and then
like all historic fines of the 21st century they were leaked to Twitter
which on Elon Musk owns now the card appears to be larger than the 6900 XT
continuing the new chunky boy GPU Trend that's so so hot right now just don't
expect it to be smoking hot like the 40 90 since it'll only be able to draw a
maximum of 375 piddly little Watts through twin eight pin PCIe connectors
instead of the 12 volt high power connector now colloquially known as the
crispy lad no word on whether the leaked pick is of the rumored Flagship GPU the
7900 XT x two x's Dos Equis or something more
or the people Hardware leaker
uh let's just put this on screen on Twitter has claimed that the XT nonx
will have 20 Gigabytes of gddr6
non-x while the XTX will have a sultry
24 gigabytes my mouth is watering and it's not PE good thing it's only three
days until AMD's official rdna3 event where they'll Tastefully pull back the
curtain just a little bit at a time maybe with tassels
AMD such a tease Mars EV and sync
Enthusiast Elon Musk is making more waves at Twitter his new favorite child
maybe because its name is easy to spell anyway he decided he wants you to pay
twenty dollars a month for Twitter blue which I think is a good move the
subscription service that lets the terminally online edit their hot taste I
remember that Subscription Service he's gonna use it it costs five dollars a
month right now but it soon be four times that because you know what that
signals value that's that's premium too cheap I don't want to pay that no no no
I don't get angry yet because you haven't heard the new feature it includes for 15 a month extra than it is
now you get to keep your blue check mark what get ready because the change is
coming soon employees have been told they need to launch the new Blue by
November 7th or they'll be fired that's
red apparently Elon wanted to show how serious he was about that threat because
he fired the entire Twitter board and made himself Soul director a chairman
musk maybe he was just uncomfortable sharing a table with other people Chief
twit gets his own [ __ ] table speaking of Elon Musk you ever got credit for
work you didn't do that's what happened to some well-known security researchers
except instead of it being a fourth grade times table worksheet it's malware
that encrypts all your files similar the so-called as of ransomware claims have
been created by the programmer and malware analyst
say it
in response to the lack of of response from the West regarding the war in
Ukraine its victims are told that they have to contact one of the multiple
Security Experts who once again are not involved on Twitter to get their files
back this might be on of course none of them have any idea how to give your
files back wait all my pony fanfics are gone I'm sorry buddy you have to write
them again the best way to avoid the threat is to stay away from pirated software key generators and adware

Size benchmarks for the ill-fated RTX 4080 12 Gigabyte graphics card were
leaked last week in the chip Hill forums and the crowd went miles
in case you forgot NVIDIA's second most recent oopsie they decided to launch a
card with 40 70 specs called it a 4080 and then unlaunched it which my mom
tried to do to me turns out it was on launch for a reason
it's 3dmark fire strike and time spy scores were comparable to its
predecessor the 3080 12 Gigabyte I

harrowing experiences a human can endure in the 21st century without also being
