The US continues to lead the pack in AI development as it houses the industry’s biggest tech companies and investors. However, a recent study – Stanford AI Index Report – reveals that the US lead has narrowed with China rapidly closing the gap.

The tech report highlights that US-based institutions produced the most significant AI model

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s recent appearance at a $1 million-a-head dinner at Mar-a-Lago may have influenced more than just the guest list. According to sources with alleged knowledge of the matter, the Trump administration has shelved plans to impose new export restriction on NVIDIA’s Hopper H20 GPU, which is the most advanced AI chip that

Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct event last week held some surprises for fans, despite the never-ending stream of leaks in the prior months, such as better than expected hardware performance and a new paradigm for game pricing.

MrBeast, a.k.a. Jimmy Donaldson, is taking former employee Leroy Nabors to court claiming that prior to being fired, Nabors had downloaded company secrets, employee and financial information, and intellectual property content, which totals up to a breach of contract.

It’s been about two and a half months since NVIDIA rolled out its flagship GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card to retail, and nearly as long since it brought back its Verified Priority Access lottery program to help gamers score a Founders Edition model direct from NVIDIA.

The Apple Vision Pro 2 could see the light of day earlier than thought by many, which is an interesting product in today’s environment. The original Apple Vision Pro at first wowed those who experienced it, but quickly waned in sales and customer adoption. As an owner of the original Vision Pro, I know first hand how perplexing the device

Razer has sheathed its line of Blade gaming laptops at its online store in the US and we have a pretty good idea of the reason why. It starts with the letter ‘t’ and—*spoiler*—spells the world ‘tariffs’. That’s the as-yet unofficial reason, anyway. Officially, Razer is not saying why its Blade laptops suddenly have ‘Notify Me’ buttons in place

For those of you willing to assemble a PC with shiny white components, you have my respect. I’m especially a fan of a white and black aesthetic (think: tuxedo), though I mostly avoid white parts because I’m admittedly lax with dust management, and white tends to highlight dust more than darker colors. If that’s the theme you’re going for,

To commemorate the opening of a new General Motors advanced design studio in Birmingham, England, the design team there has revealed a wild Corvette concept vehicle. The design looks far into the future while taking styling cues from the past. The car is meant to be electric-powered, mid-engined (or motored, as is the case), smooth as a river

Companies in the United States are coming to grips with the bevy of tariffs being implemented by the Trump administration. The most high profile case has been Nintendo, which has placed a delay on taking preorders for its highly anticipated Switch successor. Now, Framework, maker of modular computers, has gone on record blaming tariffs for

Upgrading your firmware need not be complicated or intimidating, though if you’re new to the PC scene, it can sometimes be both. It just depends on the device and method. Even when it’s easy, though, there’s typically still software involved. Or there was—in an effort to updating firmware as effortless as possible, Corsair has introduced a

Robotaxi service provider Waymo might be prepping to use its in-vehicle cameras to train AI as well as target ads to riders. This info comes a leaked draft policy which the company confirms is real, but asserts besides being a feature in development, the document is full of “placeholder text” and that Waymo machine learning (ML) data isn’t

Graphics cards are the most important and exciting part of a gaming PC. They’re also the most expensive and getting even pricier, as gamers are quickly finding out. NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 is at the forefront of this discovery, as a buyer on Reddit recently experienced.

There’s still some mystery surrounding Nintendo’s Switch 2 console, even after last week’s proper reveal during a special Nintendo Direct event. Part of the reason for the intrigue is the unexpected delay of preorders in the United States, which Nintendo announced just two days after saying preorders would open on April 9. Even if pricing

End-to-end encryption on messaging apps can offer a degree of protection, that is, if you don’t let down your guard. That’s the essence of the NSA’s latest security warning to iPhone and Android users on the need to manage key settings that might expose them to attacks if not handled properly.

While the warning specifically mentions Signal,

It used to be pretty commonplace, once upon a time; we could flash a different or modified firmware to our graphics cards in search of higher performance than was possible with the stock code. GPU companies started encrypting their firmware, though, and that mostly put the kibosh on that. Not entirely though, it seems, as an enthusiast from

Microsoft believes generative AI is critical for the future of gaming, for both gamers and developers. Earlier this year the company unveiled a World and Human Action Model (WHAM), dubbed Muse.

Japanese tire maker Bridgestone is showing off two new lunar rover tire concepts at the 40th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs. Yes, they basically look like airless puncture-proof tires currently found on UTVs (utility task vehicles) and skid steer loaders, except that Bridgestone’s are metal and designed to withstand that harshness of

Let me just say right off the bat that for a multitude of reasons, I highly recommend against using Breaking Bad as a blueprint for your own life goals. Yes, Walter White and Jesse Pinkmak made a whole lot of money, but without spoiling the series, it came at many costs. Instead, there are several games on Steam where you can live out fantasy
