Taiwan replied "Nuh-uh!" and continued right on doing what it was doing.

Tech News

How much will AMD's 9070 XT Cost? Nobody knows, not even AMD. (Tom's Hardware)

The company is reportedly scrambling to take advantage of Nvidia's series of disasters - from having no stock to speak of, to having what stock there was being riddled with chip faults disabling functionality, to what cards actually worked to start with going up in smoke.

But AMD has a long history of being handed opportunities in the GPU space and fumbling them with high prices.

Current leaked prices for the 9070 XT start at $700, which is between $50 cheaper than Nvidia's 5070 Ti if you believe Nvidia, and $200 cheaper than the cheapest actual cards listed, but there are no 5070 Ti cards available at all so it may just be time to roll the dice.

AMD did manage not to screw up the 9800X3D CPU launch, so there may be a chance of them doing it again.
AI has yet to find a killer app to match Excel or email, says Microsoft. (The Register)

We know.
The Ayaneo Flip isn't. (Liliputing)

The pocket-sized gaming device has been cancelled without even shipping all the pre-orders. If you tried to buy one, you can request a refund or another Ayaneo product.
Hands on with the new Framework Desktop. (The Verge)

It doesn't add much to yesterday's information, but they're not insane, so I'll toss them a link.

Musical Interlude

Update: Swapped out the video. Unfortunately I can't see this one.

Disclaimer: You don't have to worry when the counter is at 300. You have to worry when it's at 300 thousand.
