Coincidentally(?), today Humble launched a bundle that includes both Pillars of Eternity games.

I was going to start PoE on Game Pass soon, but I think real-time with pause was what turned me off of Baldur’s Gate 1 back in the day, so I guess I’ll wait for the patch.


The reason why those two new PSUs only have one 8-pin connector is because they both sport two 12V-2x6 sockets instead. The company does offer PSUs with up to three 8-pin and one 16-pin power slots.

The only reason why anyone would want to use two 12V-2x6 cables is to have a PC with two Nvidia graphics cards but given that SLI is dead and long gone on the latest generation of GeForce GPUs, dual setups are purely for AI, to let you do your own training and inference.

I’m not sure about the AI angle. The product pages for the PSUs don’t mention AI, and no company is going to make a product for AI and not mention AI.


The headline is misleading. The full quote from the CEO is

My first message would be, if you’re not comfortable, don’t let your kids be on Roblox.

That should just be common sense.


My father is retired and still needs to use PowerPoint. He is very bad at retirement.


DOJ is controlled by the fascists, so investigating nvidia would really only be a minor distraction from investigating and intimidating Trump’s many, many enemies.


I swear nvidia heard about AMD’s release plans and decided they needed to be first, regardless of supply.


The Enterprise LTSC versions will be supported for a few more years, regular support for Pro is ending in October same as Home. Some of the worst stuff like Co-Pilot hasn’t made it in to LTSC (yet).



Reminder that Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, the company that insists it’s going to end support for Windows 10 in October and wants everyone to move to Windows 11, which doesn’t officially support perfectly functional but somewhat old CPUs. So of course they don’t care about GPUs too old to support ray tracing.





Point is the gains are mostly from the new frame generation. The difference between a 4070 and a 4090 is much more than gains they’re showing without the new FG.


PC Gamer left out the charts that really show it; everything to the right of A Plague Tale: Requiem has extra generated frames on the 5070:



The update is pretty important:

Update, July 5, 1:50 p.m. PT: Apple has told IGN that it has now approved the Epic Sweden AB Marketplace app, and that it’s asked Epic to fix the appearance similarity issue in a future submission. Epic Games confirmed this with an update on its X/Twitter account, which you can see below.


A good reason would have been potential “synergies” with Harmonix, which they also own, but I don’t recall ever seeing anything about that. Collaboration between the company that sells music and the company that makes music games seems like a no-brainer to me.



I remember driving around with the crew, singing “What I Got.” Good times.


I think Interplay still owns Freespace. They still exist, apparently.


In this case, sites could make content unavailable to everyone to make sure Americans using VPNs don’t see it.
