Intel released the Arc A750 roughly three years ago as part of its first generation "Alchemist" lineup of discrete GPUs. It launched with 8GB of GDDR6 memory saturated across a 256-bit bus. While the card's specs are nothing extraordinary, a new version of the A750 has just surfaced — seemingly with double the VRAM and twice as wide of a memory bus — which never came out. It looks like a prototype and @
Engineer creates ‘blazingly fast’ web server powered by a disposable vape — 'VapeServer' powered by 24 MHz Arm chip with 24 kilobytes of flash, 3KB of SRAM
Engineer and origami artist Bogdan Ionescu, AKA BogdanTheGeek, has created a web server that runs on a disposable vape. Inspired by his growing collection of these disposables, and prior work he had done on semihosting on any Arm CPU using “a few lines of code,” Bogdan had a lightbulb moment and decided to host “a web server on a vape,” thus creating the VapeServer .
Disposable vapes can contain a surprising amount of computing power/components. Bogdan had been collecting discarded
Expect HDD, SSD shortages as AI rewrites the rules of storage hierarchy — multiple companies announce price hikes, too
The computing market is absolutely ablaze with AI-driven growth. Regardless of how sustainable it might be, companies are spending untold amounts of wealth on hardware, with most headlines revolving around GPUs. But the storage market is also under pressure, especially hard drive vendors who purportedly haven't done much to increase manufacturing capacity in a decade. TrendForce says lead times for high-capacity "nearline" hard drives have ballooned to over 52 weeks — more than a full year.

I built a configurable ADB-to-USB adaptor to use a vintage 1990 Apple keyboard with modern Windows and USB — modern keyboards and magnetic switches can't compete with Alps
As a writer who has been working professionally on PCs and Apple devices since the mid-1990s, I’ve been through a lot of keyboards. However, a fondness for one, which was actually released back in 1990, has stuck with me to the present day. I’m referring to the Apple Extended II mechanical keyboard, also known as the AEKII model M3501. The model you see in the photos

AMD claims three of its X3D CPUs can hit 1000 FPS in esports games — Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9955HX3D are in the '1000 FPS Club'
According to many esports competitors, AMD currently makes the best gaming CPUs on the market, thanks in part to its revolutionary 3D V-Cache technology that stacks extra cache atop the CCD to boost FPS across the board. At the moment, as part of its Zen 5 line-up, AMD has the highest-performing processors on both mobile and desktop, and the company is clearly not shy to flaunt that. In what seems to be a new presentation from China, the Red
Enthusiast didn't like the Framework 13's mushy keyboard, so he built a custom version with a full mechanical keyboard — also added mechanical dials to control volume, brightness, and backlighting
The team behind the Framework laptops has garnered much praise for building the world's first truly mass-market laptop devices that you can build yourself. However, for one keyboard enthusiast, the Framework 13's integrated membrane keyboard leaves much to be desired. Flurples on YouTube documented his journey on how he fixed this problem by creating an entirely custom 13-inch Framework laptop copycat with a mechanical keyboard inside.
The laptop dubbed the Campus is a custom 13-
