if tech news is like coffee then this show is like a caramel macchiato I will
not elaborate that'd be such a latte thing to do AMD
has confirmed reports that its Graphics tuning utility radiant software has been
overclocking some users ryzen CPUs without asking permission
if you're thinking that sound free performance with even less work on
my end sounds great well then you
probably should catch up on the whole consent thing ASAP
but you should also be aware that while every ryzen CPU supports overclocking
actually doing it voids a CPU's warranty what about the 5800 x3e that doesn't
sport overclocking not to mention potential system damage
if your Hardware doesn't have suitable cooling Radeon software has had the
ability to automatically overclock CPUs for over a year but it was an opt-in
feature thankfully AMD has confirmed that the forced overclocking is due to a
bug that will be fixed shortly not an intentional change they're not like
Microsoft until the patch comes through though you
might want to disable any active GPU profiles in Radeon software unless you
like living dangerously like me I overclock everything speculation about
what effect Elon Musk may have on Twitter ran Rampage when the world's
richest man bought a 9.2 stake in the social platform on Monday but we didn't
have to wait long to see the first fruits of that decision on Tuesday Elon
was added to Twitter's board of directors and was welcomed in tweets by
the Company CEO and its founder Jack Dorsey the day before musk had tweeted a
poll asking if users wanted an edit button to which the overwhelming answer
was uh yeah
and right after he was added as a board member Twitter confirmed after April
Fool's Day tweet about working on an edit button wasn't actually a joke
obviously you fell for that
interestingly the platform also rolled out a change causing deleted tweets
embedded in news articles to disappear before this was a way to preserve them
maybe Elon had nothing to do with these changes but what if he did what's next
to keep your Twitter account everyone must repost one cringe Reddit meme a
week you're required to participate you must make your eyes laser eyes

easier to use developer tools like the reality scan mobile app which lets you

scientists still aren't sure it's a grandfather Paradox epic also confirmed
that Square Enix and CD projekt Red will be using Unreal Engine 5 for the next
Tomb Raider and Witcher games instead of their own game engines and well knowing
epic that's probably due to being paid wads of cash and not because the engine
is great it could be great though them meta-humans are looking nice especially
