    Users report new Ryzen 7 9800X3D failures despite ASRock BIOS

    Apparently ASUS is having similar issues that started more recently as compared to Asrock. I built my system with a 9800x3d and Asrock b850i lightning back in September and so far so good. I know they are not ALL dying, but my luck is generally bad so I am expecting a failure at some point.

    Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive

    Easy anti cheat works perfectly in linux, I used it recently to play the division 2 on my steamdeck. It has to be allowed by the developer on a per title basis which is the issue.

    Supermarket Giant Tesco Sues VMware, Warns Lack of Support Could Disrupt Food Supply

    Our HyperV poc is mostly finished and we are moving forward with the migration over the next 4 months. The one thing that concerns me is managing Windows updates on the hosts themselves. VMware updates were fairly infrequent, but hyperV is going to require monthly windows patching, and we all...

    Fake frames: An uncomfortable truth about DLSS 5

    I think the part getting missed is that its not just DLSS vs Native, its DLSS vs Native with massive TAA blur. TAA is a scourge on the gaming industry and is a result of lazy game development. DLSS looks as good as it does, because it removes TAA before its own processing.

    The AI Bubble Narrative Just Got Flipped On Its Head

    Of course the investing site wants you to ignore the signs of a bubble... its literally their job. The writing is on the wall, several prominent companies are starting to question AIs value to the consumer. Even the CEO of Microslop is saying what AI is now isn't enough to justify the spending...

    NVIDIA Restores PhysX Support for Select 32-Bit Games on GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs

    The main problem with cpu physx is that it is specifically written to be singlethreaded. I am not sure how much effort it would take to make it multi thread aware, but that seems like less annoyance than maintaining 32 bit code forever.

    CD Projekt Boss Envisions New Witcher Trilogy Launching Within Six-year Period

    When I first watched the witcher 4 trailer I was excited for how it looked and seemed to play. But then I remembered that cdprojektred built an entire fake game to use as a trailer for cyberpunk 2077 and what released was a shadow in terms of looks, gameplay, bugs, and polish. UE5 games are more...

    Nutanix stock sunk by VMware migration challenges

    I work at a non profit, and our CFO likes cloud offerings because it lowers Capex in favor of operating expenses. It smooths the budget spikes even if overall the cost is higher. I hate it, I enjoy buying new toys and holding on to them for 5-7 years, but I am not in charge of the budget so 🤷‍♂️
