RTX 5090 cable overheats to 150 degrees Celsius — Uneven current distribution likely the culprit | Tom's Hardware WWW.TOMSHARDWARE.COM One wire was spotted carrying 22A, more than double the max spec. Uneven current distribution is thought to be the culprit.

Don't be evil was always a joke. The mind doesn't think in negatives, if you tell a child don't turn off the lights, they will keep flipping that light switch on and off. If you tell a child please leave the lights on we want to be able to see, they will leave the light switch alone. From personal experience, good people don't run around telling everyone they are a good person. The few people I've met who do that, are dirtbags. Google became too big to escape the interest of intelligence services. It was only a matter of time until it all came out. It did, that was Snowden. Now google is dropping the act because they want more money. The question, are we the badguys? Should be asked more often by more people and not just in the tech world. General Eisenhower warned everyone about the industrial military complex.

Supposedly deepseek sometimes called itself ChatGPT. That seems to have been fixed. AI training data needs to be open source. As long as that stays hidden I don't trust AI. They won't do that because they are busy stealing everything they can feed it to make it super intelligence. A level of intelligence we simply do not comprehend. This is where someone needs to tell them to slow down and do things responsibly. They need to start respecting copyright, show their training material and have a bit of compassion.

Hot Tub Is 1st iPhone Porn App: Apple Warns Of User Safety In Rare Statement WWW.FORBES.COM It’s almost unheard of for Apple to comment on an individual iPhone app, but it’s just done so in response to the... Fallout from allowing 3rd party app loading. Apple is upset because it bypasses their walled garden and the way it was advertised made it sound like apple was endorsing them. Apple did no such thing. I just want to know if we can sideload firefox yet. Brave doesn't have the same adblock capabilities as ublock origin.

Sony is giving PS Plus members extra days following PSN’s big outage WWW.THEVERGE.COM Expect an extra five days of service if you have PS Plus. I've been following this since the outage, but so far I haven't seen an explanation of what caused it. Hackers/hacks usually make the news, but network admins are only spotlighted when things go offline. This is a nice bonus for anyone who suffered.

Yeah EVGA killed their forums. I think it's a matter of time until they close up shop. I wonder why they didn't switch to AMD cards. Maybe that answer is in an NDA somewhere, but that doesn't stop them from closing one company and starting another.

Nvidia is 'investigating the reported issues with the RTX 50-series' cards after RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 owners (and some RTX 40-series folk) report black screen problems | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Proof, not that it was needed, that you should always do a clean driver wipe before a new GPU install. Maybe the limited stock will save people from the headaches of trying to troubleshoot such an expensive graphics card.

AI invented a new miracle material that's as strong as steel but light as foam BGR.COM A new AI-created wonder material is stronger than steel but as light as styrofoam and could revolutionize transportation designs. These are the AI breakthroughs we have been waiting for.

Nvidia’s new RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards are sold out everywhere WWW.POLYGON.COM The new GPUs disappeared within minutes and aren’t expected back for a few weeks to months Not really news to us, but here's confirmation for anyone who struggled to buy a 50 series.

The $20 million Apple Watch settlement could mean a payout for you - here's how to qualify WWW.ZDNET.COM Claims are being processed automatically, but you'll need to update your information to make sure you receive anything from Apple.

The brass balls on these guys: OpenAI complains that DeepSeek has been using its data, you know, the copyrighted data it's been scraping from everywhere | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM "Hypocritical little babies." Just China doing what they do. The irony is OpenAI was doing it too.

NASA rover spots proof that Mars hosted more than just lakes | Mashable MASHABLE.COM "Possibilities for microbial habitability." I'm glad Elon Musk the U.S. is pushing to go to Mars. While it's not a place I think anyone would want to live at, it does present unique challenges and opportunities to learn. I eat way too many microwaved meals, if our desire to explore space hadn't given us the microwave I'd have starved to death a long time ago!

Newly discovered microbes in Amazon peatlands could affect global carbon balance PHYS.ORG Complex organisms, thousands of times smaller than a grain of sand, can shape massive ecosystems and influence the fate of Earth's climate... I'm convinced that we don't understand climate change and keep pointing to every little thing as the cause. Maybe that's just my ignorance talking!

President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology – The White House WWW.WHITEHOUSE.GOV By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to establish an advisory council At the risk of skirting our no-politics rules, I thought this was worth discussing. Please refrain from discussing red vs blue politics or this thread will be locked. Roll up your sleeves crypto bro's and degenerate gamblers, crypto is here to stay! Traditionally countries want their currency to be what everyone uses. Crypto is a move away from that, unless a country is specifically in control of a crypto currency. As of yet, no country claims to own a crypto blockchain, but it's worth noting that a lot of these crypto currencies are vulnerable to a 51% hostile takeover. It's almost like Nvidia cards were good at crypto mining -> Nivida has a lot of money to invest in AI -> Nvidia is the dominate player in AI development. Thoughts?

MasterCard DNS Error Went Unnoticed for Years KREBSONSECURITY.COM The payment card giant MasterCard just fixed a glaring error in its domain name server settings that could have allowed anyone to intercept or divert... Typos are getting out of hand! I noticed if I dial 1 digit off for my credit card number it goes straight to a scam call center.

What's cheaper than paying a player? A bot! This is only a temporary ban and it doesn't prove anything.

PayPal Fined $2 Million for Security Failures WWW.HOWTOGEEK.COM The fine is one thing, but the reputation hit is another. I'm a little torn about this. I think companies don't prioritize spending for cyber security defence and that needs to change, but I don't think fining companies for failing is going to end well. Cybersecurity is one of those jobs that can go well 364 days, and that 1 day puts their job in jeopardy.

I miss the social aspect of gaming, but I can only do fetch quests so many times until an MMO isn't fun.

I need to figure out how to calibrate my hotas. I haven't had it working correctly since windows 10. Windows 11 required disabling core isolation which I don't want to do, and Linux I'm still scratching my head.

GDDR7 must be faster than ECC GDDR6. Usually this performance level would go to their professional (a) series cards.

Prototyped was pictured. The webpage doesn't play nice, but the alleged specs are: GPU: GB202-200 Cores: 24576 CUDA GPU Clock 2100/2514 MHz Memory 32 GB GDDR7 32 Gbps TGP 800W, 2x 12v-2x6 Just a moment... VIDEOCARDZ.COM Could it be, Nvidia pushing the limits of what people are willing to pay?! These are starting to get into the professional use only category, which makes me ask why they aren't covering this area with their a5500/higher tier cards. Maybe ECC is less valuable than GDDR7? Or maybe they are just having fun playing with prototypes. -- Bonami beat me to it! I'll lock this thread to keep 1 topic.

Asmongold seemed particularly upset. He called Elon out and they supposedly beefed a bit. That's when Elon doubled down and then someone came out and said it was their character. It's a story about who's ego is bigger and it's petty on both sides. Elon often pops up in the news for saying things he shouldn't, but ever since he bought twitter the media turned against him. Yes! When Elon was talking about making car bodies all one piece and how it would make production cheaper, I realized he surrounds himself with a lot of smart people but doesn't understand some basic concepts. The Delorian was a cool car, but there aren't any on the road because fender benders cost too much to repair. Replacing an entire body would sky rocket insurance prices and the automotive repair guys would be up in arms. The cybertruck's titanium body repeats the problem the Delorian had. I think it's funny that all the Teslas have a front indent where the radiator air scoop would typically go. It's a sign the body wasn't designed for an electric car.

Someone should pitch owning a gaming team to him. Maybe Star Citizen would have the right appeal? It should be out in the next decade!

Nintendo just admitted that emulators are, technically, legal - Android Authority WWW.ANDROIDAUTHORITY.COM After shutting down several popular emulators over the years, Nintendo's top IP lawyer just admitted that emulators are legal. Nintendo has been fighting it on these grounds and that they often point to rom sites. They are more than willing to drag people through court and all the financial burdens associated with it. Nintendo has money for lawyers, most devs do not. This does leave room for an emulator to become legal, but they would have to stand their ground against Nintendo's legal firm.
