ethereum on a GPU as the long-awaited merge is expected to be imminent
at the time this is going up it's in a few hours or something i feel like a high temperature
in case you haven't heard of it ethereum is moving to a proof of stake model
which means that if you want to continue passively generating eth you'll want to
invest or stake the network with however much of the cryptocurrency you want
the more you stake the more you'll make back just like a regular investment and
it just goes up all the time every time up up up
line goes up a big reason the merge is happening at all is because the ethereum
devs wanted to make the blockchain less of an energy hog with power consumption
expected to drop by well over 99 percent
and while the transaction rate and gas fees shouldn't significantly ch change
post-merge the whole thing will at least be a heck of a lot greener
and still used for scams by people probably it's looking more and more like
the rtx 4090 is launching this year because the trickle of leaks about the
card has just turned into a full-on burst pipe it's coming in october
is it for sure not only have two new versions of the board shown up a monster quad slot
design from lenovo and another one from Gigabyte moore's law is dead just reported that
we'll be getting the rtx 4090 next month that's october that's it i think so with
the 4080 and 4070 following after that this is great news for folks who wanted
a shiny new graphics card under their christmas tree or their non-sectarian
holiday plant and we should be getting some more news very soon at NVIDIA's
upcoming project beyond event on september 20th and with as many add-in
board options as we're rumored to be getting hopefully NVIDIA goes beyond
with the supply situation too everybody should have a GPU you know there's no
reason why not it's probably just gonna be one of the 3000 series though
they got a lot but it's something it's a human right and sony has led a bunch of
gaming sites and creators go hands-on with their upcoming playstation vr2
headset before they release it early next year
the feedback overall seems to be really positive and that's not just because
there's probably at least a few gaming journalists in there who just haven't
played vr very much at all oh it's like feels real
where am i the ps vr2 is a huge leap ahead of the
psvr1 and even has some big improvements over the oculus quest too there's
automatic ipd adjustments higher resolution pass through cameras eye
tracking with support for foveated rendering and haptic feedback in the
headset so no need to strap rumble controllers to your head anymore that's
that's was a bad idea to start with i don't know why you now it's time for
quick bits brought to you by brilliant the hands-on interactive way to learn
stem topics but how do you go hands-on with things like numbers when they're
abstract constructs that only truly exist on the mental plane the answer is
brilliant they've got thousands of courses with new topics to learn each
month like computer science fundamentals you can use brilliant to augment your
college education or just use it to get smart because understanding even just
the basics can help you troubleshoot all kinds of problems but if you need
another reason the first 200 people to head to brilliant.org techlink will get
20 off an annual premium subscription so go on get smart
quick bids are always there they're pretty bad at picking up cues
just let's just leave voice chat support for discord has finally made its way
onto the xbox as of today bringing the popular line of consoles that much
closer to delivering a pc like experience especially as the xbox
discord app allows cross-platform chat xbox rival playstation supports discord
account linking but still does not have voice chat support despite announcing a
special partnership with the chat app earlier this year
analysts looking at footage of the deal have determined that while sony and
discord were shaking hands discord was crossing their fingers
speaking of xbox you probably remember the nintendo 64 classic goldeneye 007
well 25 years later it's coming to xbox game pass alongside the nintendo switch
making a genre defining game much more accessible to current audiences modern
touches will be added like native 16x9 support and dual analog stick controls

but online multiplayer will be exclusive to the switch version they should really
just call q as i'm sure he could rig something up oh you want to pone your
friends do your bond

a cool bit of news from the robotics world as hp has shown off their new site
print robot designed for construction workers the little bot that kind of
looks like one of those autonomous lawn mowers can print blueprint elements like
outlines of doors and walls onto bare floors at construction sites giving
workers more time to actually build buildings rather than work on planning
and soon that'll be a robot job too every building will either be boring
cubes or they it'll look like it came out of an art generator there's either no door
