Intel has officially launched its Arrow Lake Refresh (Core Ultra 200S Plus series), featuring the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus. After the initial Arrow Lake launch struggled to win over gamers, this "Plus" refresh aims to reclaim the gaming crown. Intel is reporting a 15% boost in gaming performance over the previous 200S models, achieved through increased efficiency core (E-core) counts, a 900MHz boost in die-to-die speeds to reduce latency, and aggressive pricing—specifically the $199 Core Ultra 5 250K Plus—that directly undercuts AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series.

NixOS isch ez nöd gad s fründlechschte System für Neuling, aber 1. hed GLF out of the box so zimli alles debii, was s (Gamer-) Härz begehrt und 2. han ich ide letschte paar Jahr scho so vill Docker Compose configs gschribe, das mir de deklarativi Aasatz vo NixOS zimli vertraut vorchunnt.

Und boy isch das e geniali Sach!

Plus: Wenn ich d Ziit finde, stüür ich gärn no paar Ziile code dezue, Übersetzig you know.

Open Source, so guet!

Totally understand software devs needing to find ways to generate revenue, but this is the first time I've seen an ad redirect before going to a download link. I wonder if we'll start to see more of this as time goes on.

Three panel reaction meme of a woman asking for the truth and a man responding. The punchline text reads “IT LOOKS THE SAME ON GEFORCE NOW.” The woman has edited white cartoon styled hair added as an inside joke.

Thermal paste shouldn't look like this. Especially not on a device that is only a couple of months old. Replaced it with some Corsair XTM70 thermal paste and will have to see if things get better.

i just started my nintendo switch again wanting to use it as a handheld to play minecraft, long story short, the only games that have multiplayer without needing nintendo swotch online are very few(i only know of fortnite and rocket leauge). This is why consols are stupid and suck. Also i used the joy cons again after a while and god they suck compared to the switch pro controller(which i mostly use for tf2). the joycons are trash compared to the switch pro controller. I probably spend the same ammount of money on this stupid platform as th einitial purchase price of my "everything server".

If there are any retro gamers out there who haven't played the incredible RollerCoaster Tycoon games, Humble currently has a great bundle: just $10 for all of them, and the charity it supports sounds like an incredible cause.

I have been seeing claims that junkware is okay because and its upgrade are free. Total cope. The Lenovo Legion Go S is $100 cheaper with for the same hardware. You paid for that license at retail. Microsoft is just double dipping with ads and tracking.

The base chassis is a Gamemax Titan Silent. The intake bezel and top panel are 3D-printed. The side trim is stripwood (should have used plastic stock). The display module is a Digole serial unit, being fed system stats with custom code. A sticker covers the original top-mounted port openings.

A large beige PC tower under a desk, showing two optical drives and a 3.5 inch floppy drive.  A small display on the top left corner reads 3746MHz, next to two pairs of USB ports, front audio jacks, and a large red power/reset switch.  The top bezel is trimmed with a grey and olive sticker.  While the look is reminiscent of a mid-1990s 486 clone, the subtle differences imply there is much more modern hardware inside.

If you own an AMD GPU and use windows (can't confirm on any other OS)... Beware of their latest con.

The newest adrenaline drivers, contain a 34GB AI package that they're trying to force down users throats.

Make sure you check and do not allow them to auto update.

I've had my eye on this game for a bit but never bought it until now, when I spotted it in a Fanatical bundle for ~$1.50 ($6 cheaper than its Steam historical low) if I bundled it with two other games.

Playing for about an hour so far, I'm really digging it! It has such an old RPG feel to it, with all the charm. And, of course, if you have ever enjoyed RuneScape, a lot of it will look and feel somewhat familiar as well!
