Combining multiple graphics cards tosplit the workloadandimprove performancesounds good on paper. In reality,multi-GPU builds in gaming are long gone. The traditional SLI, NVLink, and Crossfire technologies didboost the FPSbut theprice-to-performance ratiowasn’t satisfactory enough. Along came the issue ofmicro stuttering,heat management, andexcessive power requirement. So, most gamers switched back to a single GPU build, and the technologies were discontinued. But computers aren’t just for games, are they? Usersinvolved in heavy workloads, likemining,3D rendering,complex simulations, anddeep learningdefinitely benefit from multiple graphics cards!...

Manufacturers of smartphones are going to extreme lengths as they seek ways to make their devices more compact or install larger batteries. However,LGInnotek proposes something that looks beyond extreme: eliminating solder balls that attach chip substrates to motherboards, thereby making the innards of smartphones even thinner. Instead of solder balls, LG Innotek proposes using new Copper Posts. The new packaging method developed by LG Innotek places copper columns on the substrate before solder balls are applied on top, rather than bonding the balls directly to the surface....

However, it can be quite intimidating to see a “Wi-Fi is turned off” message whenever you attempt to turn on the Wi-Fi, as it prevents you from scanning the available Wi-Fi networks or connecting to them. While the issue mostly stems from a fault in the Wi-Fi module of your TV, adjusting a few settings on the TV can sometimes solve the problem....

The Linux team has published an intermediate Linux 6.13-rc3 to fix a “hilarious” bug in the kernel-based Virtual Machine code —Phoronix reports, where CPUID updates are taking significantly longer time to be processed onSapphire RapidsCPUs than they should be, resulting in much older Skylake CPUs being up to 4X faster in regards to CPUID cost. Phoronix reveals thatGoogleengineers originally discovered this technical issue in how Sapphire Rapids processes CPUID information in nested VMs....

DuringComputex2024, PC case maker Fractal Design showed off aminiature North casefor the Raspberry Pi, something many would buy in a heartbeat. The company doesn’t have any plans to produce the case. Please leave it to the maker community to fulfill that desire, though. The miniaturized version of theFractal Design North case, scaled down to house a Raspberry Pi, has inspired some case designs for the SBC that you can just 3D print at home....

Beijing scientists have developed what they claim is the world’s smallest and lightest solar-powered drone. One of the key milestones this 4.21g device with its 200mm wingspan has achieved is being able to fly non-stop during daylight. CoulombFly is also remarkable for being about 10 times smaller and 600 times lighter than the previous smallest sunlight powered drone, reportsIEEE Spectrum. Electrostatic motor technology seems to be the most important differentiating aspect of the CoulombFly design....
