    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears 2025

    There's a Microcenter in Boone? You've got to be kidding me. Maybe it's changed since I was there in 1988. 😀

    Xbox series X

    Yeah, the Series X games are beautiful on our new Sony X90J - fired up MS Flight Simulator just to see the graphics, wow. And yet I find myself playing PC games like Hidden Deep or Dysmantle. :)

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    Got Hidden Deep from Steam - love the game. It's a side scroller but so atmospheric, and the physics/mechanics of moving around is so well done.

    LG is developing OLED panels for Gaming Monitors

    A friend and I bought 34” Sony widescreen tubes. 230 lbs, that was brutal, specially having to move two of them. Worth it though, and no lag playing Halo.

    My kid’s OLED laptop has various software to minimize burn in. You can turn it off though.

    Intel rumored to announce Arc A750, A380 desktop cards in late May/early June for 350/150 USD respectively

    What a joke. Intel has clearly worked hard with 3DMark to make their GPUs benchmark well. Look at the new Arc A350M, nice 3DMark results and terrible gaming performance. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Battle-of-the-entry-level-GPUs-Nvidia-GeForce-MX550-Intel-Arc-A350M-Review.635422.0.html

    NVIDIA Warns of Headwinds Due to Lower Gaming Revenue in Preliminary Financial Results

    Nice analysis! Do you know who pays for the packaging of the die? I’d imagine that’s also NVidia, that they sell packaged chips not raw dies off the wafer. So there’s some cost there.

    NVIDIA reportedly wants to cut TSMC orders for next-gen RTX 40 GPUs 5nm wafers amid lower demand

    Weird thing is NVidia card prices aren't really coming down. They seemed to have mostly bottomed at still at or above MSRP.

    NVIDIA reportedly wants to cut TSMC orders for next-gen RTX 40 GPUs 5nm wafers amid lower demand

    I’m hearing TSMC isn’t seeing any cancellations for their smallest node (3-6nm) stuff since if you cancel those you pay a penalty and go to the back of the line. But they’re seeing a lot of cancellations for lower end chips.

    Video game sales set to fall for first time in years as industry braces for recession

    you figure a game developer is probably office-based, no? If so, Covid probably screwed it up like it did the movie industry. Hard to imagine everyone working from home and effectively collaborating, but what do I know. My Roblox stock has almost doubled in the last couple months, so maybe...

    NVIDIA reportedly wants to cut TSMC orders for next-gen RTX 40 GPUs 5nm wafers amid lower demand

    You know Vanguard is almost exclusively passive funds. There is no manager buying and selling NVDA cause of its fundamentals, it’s purely based on market cap, so as it’s market cap grows, the funds have to buy more of it. This is why when NVDA starts to sell off, Vanguard funds start dumping it...
