Top Story

VC-backed startups commit more fraud and researchers think they know why. (Tech Crunch)

Yes, it's exactly the reason you immediately thought of.

Congratulations, you are now a researcher.

Tech News

Single DIMM gaming works better than you might think. (Tom's Hardware)

Assuming you're not using integrated graphics. If you are, it works exactly as you would think.

But if you have a graphics card, and the graphics card has enough memory of its own, and your single DIMM has enough memory, and you have an AMD X3D CPU, the performance loss is only around 3% on average.

And given that I have a 128GB kit (2x64GB) and a 96GB kit (2x48GB) I could run four systems rather than two if they all had X3D processors. Not that I need four systems, but I could.
Setting up OpenClaw isn't as easy as the internet claims. (Tom's Hardware)
Having 48GB of available video memory should allow us to run a fairly powerful AI model on the system.
Wait, 48GB of VRAM? What hardware... Oh, a Beelink mini PC, and that's shared memory with the integrated graphics.
Tailscale didn't stop the Hugging Face intrusion - but it should have. (Tailscale)

Interesting writeup on why the dog didn't bark in the night.
AMD's new Radeon 9050 graphics card is poop. (WCCFTech)

Not as poop as the RX 6400 I just bought, until you take price and power consumption into account, in which case it's more poop.
Sony understands that its customers are upset about its plan to end disc support on PlayStation. (WCCFTech)

It understands. It doesn't care. It's doing it anyway. Because fuck you that's why.

Musical Interlude
