Amech, the maker of the thermal paste that stinks and damages coolers, has known about the issues with its product since at least October 2024, according to Igor Wallosek from Igor's Lab . Instead of addressing the problem that damages coolers and can potentially lead to damage to expensive CPUs or GPUs, the company kept producing and selling the thermal grease.

PewDiePie has built a custom web UI for self-hosting AI models called "ChatOS" that runs on his custom PC with 2x RTX 4000 Ada cards, along with 8x modded RTX 4090s with 48 GB of VRAM. Running open-source models from Baidu and OpenAI, PewDiePie made a "council" of bots that voted on the best responses, and then built "The Swarm" for data collection that will become the foundation

Speaking on the Joe Rogan podcast, Musk reiterated that Tesla’s next-gen roadster, which was announced eight years ago and was originally meant to go into production in 2020, will “hopefully” be demoed before the end of 2025, and that it includes “crazy, crazy technology,” adding that it’s crazier than “all the James Bond cars” combined.

The outspoken and controversial CEO then went on to comment on flying vehicles.

Yesterday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took to X — Elon Musk's platform — to post three screenshots telling a story about how his 2018 order for the next-gen Tesla Roadster was mishandled . Altman emailed to cancel his reservation after several years of delays, asking for the $50,000 security deposit to be issued back to him, only to find out that the email address for reservations was seemingly no longer operational.

With Windows 10 reaching its end of life (EOL) last month, a free third-party tool called Flyoobe ( which we have covered here ) has been gaining popularity for enabling safe upgrades to Windows 11 on unsupported systems by bypassing the system requirements.

As analyst Patrick Moorhead highlighted in a response to the embassy’s post, Hsinchu includes TSMC’s Fabs 12A, 1

Here's a bent-out-of-shape GPU repair that quickly turned from a curiosity into a horror story: A dead Aorus-branded Nvidia RTX 4090 card landed on the desk of Northwest Repair, originally reported to have a melted connector and "some knocked off components," but one by one, slowly, the tech finds so much wrong with this card that it's deemed irreparable by the end. That's rare for a GPU

AMD confused the gaming community greatly after it announced it would put RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 driver support in "maintenance mode", but later corrected that the two architectures would still be receiving game optimizations regardless . Apparently, this confusion also led some people to believe game optimizations would also stop on AMD's Linux drivers as well.
