Daily Tech News 28 July 2026

Top Story

The best time to buy an Nvidia graphics card is never. The second best time is also never. (WCCFTech)

Nvidia has just raised card prices by another 30%. A minor inconvenience for me, as I do have four perfectly adequate graphics cards and two kind of crappy ones already. If you were waiting for prices to come down, well, keep on waiting I guess.

Tech News

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says he doesn't support dropping space colonies on competing Chinese AI firms but if a colony were somehow to drop would that really be such a bad thing? (Tech Crunch)

I mean, really?
Speaking of Anthropic, shocking news from Claude where it turns out that sharing a chat session means... You share your chat session. (Notebook Check)

And it ends up in Google.
ChatGPT now refuses to write in the style of famous authors, even mostly dead ones like Charles Dickens. (Ars Technica)

Since even college English majors these days struggle to understand Dickens, maybe shoot a little lower.
Who will be the last man standing when the cookie crumbles, and why will it be Apple? (MacRumors)

Because while Apple's Vision Pro headset was a resounding flop, it was at least a product you could buy. Make it smaller and lighter and cheaper and it might not fail so hard next time. And the entire project cost less than some AI companies are burning in a week.
