It provides a glimpse of what thebest motherboardscould look like in the future when it comes to I/O.We already discussed most aspects of the new Taichi Aqua in our look atASRock’s upcoming Intel motherboards, but this board deserves special note for its USB Type-C exclusive rear I/O....

It’s the end of the line for the NUC Extreme line, an Asus spokespersonconfirmed to Fudzilla. making the NUC 13 Extreme the last of its kind. Asus,which took over the NUC line from Intel, has started making proactive changes to the NUC lineup and based on how things are looking like currently, the company trimmed this lineup down to NUC, NUC Pro and the recently announcedROG NUC. This decision makes sense for a few reasons, one being the fact that ROG NUCs technically succeed NUC Extreme while having ROG-inspired designs, cooling and features....

A good gaming chair does more than just add personality to your battle station — it also provides support for your back, hips, and shoulders. Your body needs as much attention as does yourCPU(and it’s much harder to replace). The best gaming chair isn’t necessarily one that’s marketedasa gaming chair. Many gaming chairs emulate the aggressive, bucket-style design associated with luxury sports cars, but sitting in front of your computer is very different from… well, driving a sports car (or any car)....

Biostar has revealed the A620MH Aurora, a budgetAM5 motherboardwith the credentials to rival thebest motherboards. Curiously, there aren’t any A620A motherboards around, so the A620MH Aurora is the first one of its kind to hit the market. A620and A620A are entry-level chipsets from the AMD 600-series family. These chipsets allow motherboard manufacturers to offer consumers an accessible upgrade path to the AM5 platform. The A620 chipset leverages the new Promontory 21 silicon, while the A620A chipset is based on the previous Promontory 19 silicon, presumably the same one that powers theB550chipset....

Your Canon printer should not print a blank page unless there is a blank page in the document itself. However, if you are getting unnecessary blank printouts, there are several possible causes behind it—low ink level being a major cause. Your printer will not print anything if it has low ink or has exhausted ink cartridges. Similarly, any kind of blockage in the printhead also disables it from sprinkling the inks onto the paper....

China wants to dominate global chip manufacturing, but its ambitions are dashed by the hard reality of its low domestic production rates. According to a graph from aNikkei report, China’s domestic chipmaking tool manufacturers produce 20% of the tools the country uses for chipmaking, but it currently only has a production rate of 1% of the critically important lithography tools. This means the East Asian country needs to invest much more in its domestic chipmaking tool firms before it can be self-sufficient in meeting its chipmaking needs....

The WSJ reportsthat China is on an extensive push to drive out Western tech companies from the country and replace them withdomestic alternatives. China reportedly started its domestic expansion in 2022 with a highly secretive “Document 79,” an initiative focused on deleting Western tech companies from the country. Since then, China’s new plan has been in full effect — domestic alternatives have replaced most Western software providers. When initiated two years ago, Document 79 was a super sensitive document that only high-ranking officials were purportedly shown....
