Razer Synapse is a utility that helps you manage your different Razer peripheral devices.There are so many things you can’t do without it, like adjust their sensitivity settings or change the lighting. Sometimes the program experiences an error and refuses to open. If you want to continue managing your devices with Synapse, fix it right away. Why Is Razer Synapse Not Opening? Sometimes the issue is with Synapse and sometimes the problem is with your computer....
Assuming you don’t have enough things perched precariously atop your monitor, why not add yet another Razer-branded peripheral? Razer’s new Aether Monitor Light Bar is precisely what its name says. It is a lamp that sits on top of your monitor and illuminates your desktop so you can see whatever is not on your screen. I bet you didn’t even know you needed that. Okay, so it’s not atotalgimmick — if your desk area isn’t well-lit, a monitor light bar is a good way to add some ambient lighting to your setup (instead of turning on all the lights in your house)....
Tom’s Hardware Verdict The Redragon K683WB FIDD is one of the cheapest ways to try magnetic Hall Effect switches, but the simple design, limited remapping, and mediocre software make for a middling experience. Very affordable Customizable actuation points Rapid trigger and multi-action key presses Misleading marketing No side legends on keycaps Mediocre software No sound dampening One memory profile/limited remapping Why you can trust Tom’s HardwareOur expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you....
According to a TechXplorereport, the South Korean Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that it has developed an AI monitoring system which could be a step towards a real life version of the Minority Report’s “Pre-Crime” team. The system integrates CCTV footage, crime statistics, positioning data, and other data to look for signals and predict the chances that a crime would occur. This technology, calledDejaview, compares current environmental and social patterns and records of past criminal cases to forecast any potential crimes....
At the SPIE Advanced Lithography + patterning conference in San Jose, California, experts from different sectors of the lithographic ecosystemdiscussed the prospects of Low-NA and High-NA extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Their views ranged from highly optimistic to cautious, particularly regarding High-NA EUV. For memory production, a Samsung rep noted worried about the costs associated with High-NA EUV. Young Seog Kang, a Fellow at Samsung involved with memory production, said thatLow-NA EUVis already operational, and chip manufacturers might prefer using double patterning with Low-NA EUV or resorting to advanced packaging techniques as more economical alternatives rather than using High-NA EUV....
Researchers from the Washington State University (WSU) School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering developed an AI technique called Bayesian Optimization to find the optimum 3D printing settings the team needed to recreate lifelike 3D-printed models of human organs. While this may sound simple, the group needed to determine a multitude of variables to find the best solution, and finding the best setup could take a lot of time. These include looking for the most suitable materials, 3D printing configurations, nozzle pressure, and more....
Tom’s Hardware Verdict The SK hynix Tube T31 delivers top “flash drive” speeds by bolting an M.2 SSD onto a USB-A port. It’s one of the fastest drives you can buy without having to fuss with a cable – I just wish it came in a 2TB capacity. And its bulk may crowd out nearby USB devices. Class-leading performance Simple, solid-feeling design Bulky for a flash drive Only offered in two capacities (max 1TB)...
TSMC is now permitted to build chips on its upcoming 2nm-class process technologies at its facilities outside of Taiwan, according to J.W. Kuo, Minister of Economic Affairs of Taiwan, who said at a government press conference, reportsTaipei Times. Previously,TSMC was prohibitedfrom making chips using its latest process technologies outside Taiwan, largely to preserve the country’s ‘Silicon Shield,’ a strategy that aims to keep production of the most leading-edge process nodes in Taiwan to ensure allied nations will defend the country in the event of a Chinese attack....
It’s almost Memorial Day, but vendors are already lowering prices on some quality hardware. For example, we came across this deal on theAsus ROG Strix XG259QNSesports gaming monitor atAmazon. It usually costs around $379, but right now, it’s discounted to just $299. The price might seem a little high, given that the screen is only 25 inches across. However, it’s got a little more going for it that sets it apart from your average gaming display....
Western Digital, known for its hard drives and SSDs, has unveiled a new product that isn’t a storage device in the technical sense. The product, known as the Ultrastar Transporter, is a new Western Digital-built travel case that houses a whopping 368TB of NVMe flash storage. The case is TAA compliant and has a 12-core Intel Ice Lake server that houses all SSDs and dual 200Gb ethernet ports. The Ultrastar Transporter briefcase addresses high-performance, high-capacity data transfers between server and edge locations....
Elbridge Colby, the nominee for U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, is known to favor the destruction of Taiwan’s chip fabs in the event of a Chinese invasion. As recently as last year, Colby publicly asserted that “destroying TSMC” was imperative if an aggressive PRC attempted to capture these facilities,reportsDatacenter Dynamics. Furthermore, thesecuritypolicy professional asserts that TSMC’s destruction shouldn’t be left to Taiwan’s government or military. Colby’s particular take on the Scorched Earth strategy has become known as the ‘Broken Nest’ deterrent, a term coined by a U....
Coinciding with its earnings press conference last Thursday,TSMCreleased limited edition packets of edible chips. These weren’t the kinds of chips you would normally associate with TSMC; rather, they were creamy coconut-flavored corn puffs made in collaboration with Taiwan’sGuai Guai brand. We use the past tense as these snacks, which are often gifted to convey good luck or reward good behavior, sold out very quickly, reportsBusiness Today. A regular packet of Guai Guai snacks normally costs TWD$25 (77 US cents) or less, but those lucky enough to grab the limited edition TSMC packets have been seen selling their packs forup to TWD$500(USD$16) on online marketplaces....
It’s still arguably too early to confidently state how successful Intel’s 18A process technology (1.8nm-class) will be. But in about a year, we should know if Pat Gelsinger’s five nodes in four years plan was a success. That said, Intel’s failure to offer a competitive AI processor is evident even today, which gives Morris Chang, the founder of TSMC, reason to claim that Intel should have focused on the development of AI processors rather than on making chips using leading-edge nodes....
