The AI PC processor battle is forming: AMD Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" vs. Intel Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" vs. Qualcomm Snapdragon X. HighPerformanceLaptops are visiting the "Innovation For All" show in Berlin, and report back with a heap of laptop news. The world's largest consumer and electronics show. At IFA 2024 we will bring together 1,800+ global exhibitors, 125 incredible speakers and more than 182,000+ visitors from 139 countries. A game collector has set a new Guinness World Record by connecting 444 consoles to one TV. In a world where playing classic games on consoles is usually left to emulators (and/or maybe an older console or two we have laying around), there's someone like Ibrahim Al-Nasser who can pull off playing those games on their OG consoles anytime he wants, because he owns hundreds of consoles, controllers, and games in his massive collection. His latest claim to fame is he currently holds the world record for 444 machines connected to a single TV. Linux reached 4.45% desktop market share in July, according to StatCounter. While this percentage might seem small to those unfamiliar with the operating system landscape, it represents a significant milestone for Linux and its dedicated community. What makes this achievement even more thrilling is the upward trajectory of Linux's adoption rate. Actually at the time of writing it is saying 4.55%. This is kinda neat, a landscape painting on a CPU using multi-coloured thermal paste. As seen in the video Cooler Master posted on its X account, the company is taking the marketing for its Cryofuze 5 thermal paste to a whole new and happy level. Yes, it literally summoned the Bob Ross inside it and painted a CPU using the Cryofuze 5 paste.

Friday Lunchtime (1 Comments) (link)  Friday, 6-September-2024  11:40:11 (GMT +10) - by Agg I'm sad to hear that Anandtech is shutting down. After over 27 years of covering the wide – and wild – world of computing hardware, today is AnandTech’s final day of publication. For better or worse, we’ve reached the end of a long journey – one that started with a review of an AMD processor, and has ended with the review of an AMD processor. It’s fittingly poetic, but it is also a testament to the fact that we’ve spent the last 27 years doing what we love, covering the chips that are the lifeblood of the computing industry. They were always one of the standout sites for high-quality articles and one of the few oldschool tech sites still standing - but no more. Discussion in this thread. Thanks to Tired and IntelInside for sending that in. Australians now have the right to disconnect outside of work hours. The new law allows employees to ignore communications after hours if they choose to, without fear of being punished by their bosses. A survey published last year estimated that Australians worked on average 281 hours of unpaid overtime annually. More than 20 countries, mainly in Europe and Latin America, have similar rules. The NSW Government wants to know what you think about social media use and impacts. The information gathered from the survey will directly inform the discussions at the summit and help the government formulate practical solutions to address the issues posed by social media, with the goal of supporting everyone to have a safer and more positive online experience. Meanwhile there's a petition to stop killing games by making them unplayable when they are no longer supported. An increasing number of videogames are sold as goods, but designed to be completely unplayable for everyone as soon as support ends. The legality of this practice is untested worldwide, and many governments do not have clear laws regarding these actions. It is our goal to have authorities examine this behavior and hopefully end it, as it is an assault on both consumer rights and preservation of media. Retro Gaming September 2024 (0 Comments) (link)  Wednesday, 4-September-2024  16:12:24 (GMT +10) - by MUTMAN This month's "Retro Let's Play" for September is Double Dragon from 1987. Double Dragon is the classic beat 'em up arcade game first released in 1987. Play as one of two brothers, Billy and Jimmy Lee, who fight their way through various levels to rescue Billy's girlfriend, Marian, who has been kidnapped by a gang. The game is known for its cooperative gameplay, where two players can team up to defeat enemies. It introduced several elements that became staples in beat 'em up games, such as weapon pickups and combo attacks. Players use a combination of punches, kicks, and various weapons, such as bats and knives. click for the thread!
