reviews are out for AMD's rx70 700xd and
the 7800 XT and these cards are a
Triumph kind of maybe sort of I guess the 7700 XT is a decent jump from the
last gen 6700 XT but it's also competing
with the rx60 800 which has more memory
a better bus width and costs less and it's not just its predecessors the 7700
XT has to worry about the 7800 XT has 16
gigabytes of vram rather than 12 and is
up to 20 faster for only 50 bucks more
making the 7700 XT redundant before it
even comes out like me compared to my older siblings sorry bro AMD isn't even
making their own version of the 7700 XT leaving that up to their board Partners
if they even care enough to bother the RX 7800 XT itself is a solid though not
spectacular improvement over last gen that's 150 less at launch but notably
the RX 6800 XT launched smack dab and in
the middle of a global GPU shortage so
the new cards come with DisplayPort 2.1 and av1 support if you really need them
but otherwise you're not missing much AMD's pricing however is at least
aggressive enough that NVIDIA has climbed out of their Scrooge McDuck
Money Pit to reduce the price of the poorly reviewed RTX 46 DTI buy another
50 bucks to match the RX 7700 XT

kill off the whole 40 series generation Microsoft will finally respect Windows
11 users default browser choice and stop forcing them to use Edge like a pushy
stage parent don't get too excited that's only if the user happens to live
in Europe they get everything it's unclear why Microsoft has had this
strange geographically specific change of heart but the likely answer is to
avoid further regulatory scrutiny of course in July the European commission
opened a formal antitrust investigation into Microsoft's practice of bundling
teams and allegedly forcing installation and blocking removal of the software for
millions of users this week Microsoft announced that they would no longer be
bundling teams with the rest of their productivity Suite in the European
market for no particular reason Zoom obviously an entirely disinterested
party has suggested that the FTC should open a similar investigation in the
United States Zoom also announced its new AI smart assistant and generative
tools similar to Microsoft's own coupon pilot smart assistant and refused to
answer follow-up questions as to why it now had the same haircut as Microsoft
and what it was doing was so many pictures of Sasha Nadella and Bill Gates
Microsoft one you're being such a single white female huawei's latest mate 60 Pro
Flagship smartphone seems to be powered by a homegrown Chinese chip despite
International attempts to slow Chinese chip making down the cura 9000s SOC is
suspected to have been created by china-based smic using its second gen 7
nanometer process according to semiconductor researchers at Tech
insights who performed a tear down of the mate 60 Pro little is officially
known about the Kirin 9000s in part because it's shy but also because it was
made in defiance of U.S sanctions the U.S government blacklisted Huawei in
2019 over Espionage concerns and levied export controls to prevent Chinese
companies from acquiring Advanced chip fabricating equipment late last year
it's not clear that these attempts to curb Chinese production of high-end
chips have been entirely ineffective it's more likely that the Chinese
government and Industry have been putting a massive amount of resources
into overcoming them if the Cold War proved anything is that a nation with
enough money and determination can accomplish amazing things like jello
made of boiled eggs or shooting a dog into space or being first to the Moon
telling like that was the best thing to come out of the space race or pretending
to be first to the Moon Stanley Kubrick

when are the QuickBooks happening after this intro I already knew that but I'm
playing along with what the script says
clearly lost and all dedicated to preserving TV
history after posted episodes of Bewitched a 60 year old series owned by
Sony Pictures Entertainment the copyright strikes were actually sent by
a firm hired by Sony so the museum was unable to discuss the matter with Sony
directly fortunately Sony eventually offered to get the channel back up and
all it took was the story being picked up by a publication with enough clout to
contact Sony and receive a response the
system works Geo media owners of Gizmodo
have laid off the small editorial team of his mother and espanol which will
from now on publish machine translated articles from the English site the
transition has been less than seamless with readers complaining that some
articles will start in Spanish only to switch to English halfway through Geo
media which also owns the onion and Jezebel has been experimenting with AI
generated articles since at least July raising the possibility that we might
soon see articles that are written then translated into another language
entirely without human intervention and if Geo thinks that won't cause problems
then all I can say is
congratulations my guy Apple has signed
a new long-standing deal with ARM according to initial public offering
documents filed by ARM on Tuesday the deal extends Beyond 2040 meaning
corporations have beat Humanity again you'll never see a human worth billions
of dollars staying in a marriage for 20 years but Apple has still that's so
jaded but Apple still hasn't escaped their last relationship because Intel
Foundry Services has decided to invest in ARM possibly to give them an excuse
to text their ex it's like a love triangle but between faceless and
emotionless corporations Apple also might launch low-cost MacBooks to
compete with Chromebooks in the education sector according to a
questionable rumor from allegedly bad guesser Digi times they claim industry
sources say the new laptops will differ from MacBook Pros and Errors By having a
shell made from different material and have cheaper components if true Apple
will finally take a break from making the world's most Premium Future E-Waste
for the elite to make cheap future E-Waste for the people and a new study
of 25 car makers by the Mozilla Foundation found that every car brand
they looked at had massive privacy concerns there are some standouts though
Tesla failed every single one of mozilla's privacy criteria Nissan and
Kia both say they can collect data on your sex life for targeted ad purposes
in their privacy policies no way they can collect it all and six of the car
companies say they can collect your genetic information or genetic
characteristics so whatever you do don't have sex with
your car again it was one time but you should definitely come back on Friday
for more attack linked we won't collect your genetic information
but not for lack of trying
