Intel officially discontinued their Arc a770 limited edition graphics card in an
unexpected move according to people who didn't fully grasp the GPU's name I'm
Jacob Rush this is techlinked and this might be your last chance to snag the
first party version of the a770 since Intel unceremoniously set on a product
change notification this Tuesday announcing the final day of shipping to
Distributors and retailers now hold on if you still want to go Blue for your
GPU third-party a770 cards are still
being manufactured by companies like Acer Gigabyte and even Sparkle who
started making graphics cards again after an over 10-year Hiatus because
they were inspired by Intel's bravery
Sparkle Sparkle Sparkle but also continue holding on because Intel's
a770le is or was one of only four models
that offered 16 gigabytes of vram instead of eight which can be the
difference between game go Burr and game so
run don't walk to your local computer retailer if you want to get your hands
on the card that PC Gamer awarded the coveted haha funny number score 69.
Wednesday was the first day of the Microsoft Activision FTC trial and also
everyone's favorite Netflix show and it's apparently being held at a
laundromat based on all the dirty laundry minutes into the trial Microsoft Council
revealed an email from Sony's Playstation Chief Jim Ryan that revealed
he never believed Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard was
actually about making their games Xbox exclusives saying
yeah he said I'm pretty sure we will continue to see Call of Duty on
PlayStation for many years to come and that is an exact replica of his voice
exact ly and that sounds a lot different than
Sony's public statements of long Xboxes
stealing my games mom also juicy Xbox BP Sarah Bond said
during questioning that Activision boss and half Goblin Bobby codic threatened
to withhold the launch of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War on the Xbox series X
slash S unless Microsoft lowered their cut of sales from 30 to 20 percent
now having said all that Microsoft you know the 2.5 trillion dollar company
yeah turns out they might not be the innocent victims here
I know the Indiana Jones game under development by Bethesda subsidiary
machine games was supposed to be multi-platform but the contract with
Disney was amended so the game would only launch on Xbox and PC after
Bethesda was bought by Microsoft and this isn't even everything from the
first two days today the third day Phil Spencer is being questioned and he's
already been exposed for owning a suit and tie
he's gonna slob like the rest of us
it's been a corporate fat cat this whole time
I thought he was just a hashtag Amber bro
all the time thank you for enjoying Xbox
Direct Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have
challenged each other to a cage fight this Sunday Sunday Sunday watch the
world's most wealthy man take on the world's least human man tonight's Main
Event kicked off on Tuesday when Elon Musk responded to a tweet about meta's
planned Twitter rival codenamed threads by willingly signing up for a cage match

because that's the kind of forward thinking that Elon is famous for he's
good at fighting I should lie on his body and not move
that has 14 children Mark Zuckerberg then responded on
Instagram with a screenshot of elon's tweet accompanied with the totally not
robotic sounding message send me location a reference to UFC fighter
khabib nurmagomedov because Mark's just one of the lads now he knows all the
lore Elon happily suggested the venue famous for showcasing the incredible
athleticism of UFC fighters the Vegas octagon as the natural Battleground for
this bloated billionaire Bloodsport since Elon is 11 years older and in
worse shape than the Zuck I'm surprised musk so eagerly publicized his future
physical location or as he likes to call it assassination coordinates musk and
Zuck have apparently had bad blood for years ever since Mark Zuckerberg roasted
SpaceX for well literally roasting a satellite That was supposed to provide
Facebook access to certain areas in Africa

companies like meta and Google to pay media outlets for news became law
yesterday and meta immediately announced that before the law goes into effect
some months from now news will no longer be available on Facebook or Instagram
for anyone in the true north and this is totally different to when
meta threatened to do the same in Australia before agreeing to pay Australian news Publishers after that
country passed a similar law and completely distinct from when meta
agreed to pay news Publishers in France after the French government also passed
a similar law this time they mean business it's no joke like that time

nothing lasts forever everyone dies that got dark there were some big Quantum
Computing developments this week IBM has suggested that quantum computers will
surpass classical Computing within two years after successfully simulating the
behavior of a magnetic material at a scale not possible on regular computers
then two days ago Microsoft announced it
had achieved a physics breakthrough that was necessary to build the world's first
true Quantum supercomputer of course
they celebrated this by announcing their Azure Quantum elements system to
integrate with Quantum Computing tools including its very own version of
copilot so even Quantum researchers can Outsource their coding to Chachi BT
I see no future repercussions for marrying Ai and Advanced computational
Technologies I mean we need to send a
Microsoft should change their name to something snappier like I don't know like cyberdyne researchers have created
an app called fever phone that turns any smartphone into an accurate thermometer
the app combines the onboard components that track the phone's internal
temperature and machine learning to measure body temperature simply by
holding the touchscreen against a user's forehead for 90 seconds
this may be unfortunate news for Google since only a month ago it leaked that
the pixel 8 Pro would have a dedicated infrared temperature sensor they spend
all that money on engineering and designing a phone thermometer when the real thermometer was inside the phone
all along the way

Nintendo president shunturo Furukawa why the company has given the boys in
Splatoon the cold shoulder by allegedly including more elaborate hairstyles and
emotes for girl characters after the Splatoon stance rant Furukawa simply
said thanks for your opinion and then moved on which is something the fans
