you can't stop it it appears that AMD's upcoming Powerhouse gaming processor the
ryzen 7 5800 X 3D will not support
overclocking at launch or possibly ever the news first appeared in a post on
Billy Billy before being Amplified by other outlets but now Tech PowerUp has
heard from some motherboard makers who say that AMD told them to disable
overclocking support for the chip but they wouldn't say why but I'm not
telling maybe the ryzen 7 5800 x3d is a
little shy after all it's got a lot of pressure on it after being touted as
more powerful than Intel's current gaming Flagship the core I9 12900k
it's possible that the reason could have something to do with the vertically
stacked V cash memory which will be making its debut in this new chip see up
till now virtually every ryzen processor has supported overclocking and hasn't
had V cash so I'm not saying it's aliens
together but it could be aliens now it's
possible that AMD is just working out the bugs and will let the 5800x 3D
really spread its three-dimensional Wings when it launches in the spring you
know you don't belong in a cage 5800 X
3D you deserve to fly try a little bird
the virtual gap between Russia and the West continues to widen with YouTube
announcing this morning that it is expanding its European block on Russian
state-funded media channels to include the entire world and sure enough certain
channels like RT are already unavailable meanwhile Facebook has made the unusual
decision to allow violent speech including death threats as long as
they're targeting Russian military or military leaders currently invading
Ukraine in response Russia has opened a criminal
case against meta and banned Instagram leaving WhatsApp as the only major
meta-owned platform still available in Russia unfortunately whatever
psychological benefits Russian citizens may enjoy from having Facebook and
Instagram removed are being offset by crushing economic sanctions so this is
really a nobody wins scenario it's not
all about removals though Google has announced that they've built an air raid
alert system directly into Android citizens of Ukraine can already use a
government app to get alerts but Google's solution makes the government system available to all Android phones
in Ukraine even if they don't have the app as jsonus Maximus wrote in an ARS
Technica comment may this be the one Google effort that we are all happy to
see an early end of life for indeed and valve steam deck just keeps
getting better the company just released official Windows drivers for the Linux
based handheld meaning you should have a better time trying out non-validated
titles like Halo infinite yeah I mean it's not very infinite if it doesn't run
on the steam deck is it that's what I said it's finite Halo finite another
interesting deck development is an update that valve pushed for Elden ring
which still suffers from middling performance on PC
but not on Steam deck valve's update ensures that the game's Shader caches
work properly which technically should have been from software's job but it
seems like they may be taking a page from The Game's co-creator George R.R
Martin and uh just yeah putting their feet up just just for a second just for
a second meanwhile it looks like Google may take
a page out of valve's book with redditor spotting a planned talk by the company
about running unmodified Windows games on stadia using what sounds like a steam
proton like well okay you can't really call it an
emulator because it's wine based and wine is not an emulator so anyway it's
happening your dream is coming true other Linus oh an unexpected Riley

NVIDIA and Samsung both suffered pretty heinous hacks by the same group recently
and now Ubisoft says that they too experienced a cyber security incident
the hacking group hasn't claimed responsibility for the attack which
caused Ubisoft to issue a mandatory password reset for all accounts and
frankly I'm not sure what would be more concerning the existence of a single
Unstoppable super hacking group or a world in which none of these companies
actually had ample cyber security to start with get Riley in their Ubisoft
gonna set you up with his quick bits antivirus solution real good speaking of
hacking Intel and security research group viewsak have revealed yet another
speculative execution attack the unimaginably code named Specter V2 which
impacts all recent Intel processors and interestingly specific ARM processors
but not AMD chips while news of another
flaw is certainly not welcome at least Intel is disclosing this one up front
instead of denying that it exists until the last minute do we have Pat gelsinger
just thanks for that because I love that guy wholesome love you Pat all smiling
after being blocked in Russia Twitter has launched a DOT onion version of its
website compatible with the Tor Browser which allows users to access sites on
