Asus' Dali laptop concept puts a color e-paper display on the lid of itsZephyrus G14gaming laptop, for seemingly limitless customization. Except this is still a concept, so who knows if the company will ever bring the idea to market. And the software, at least in its current state here atComputexin Taipei, would only let you apply several pre-rendered stickers, or apply some AI-generated art. According to an Asus representative at the company’s Taiwan headquarters, the 12-inch e-ink screen on the lid has a resolution of 1600 x 1200, and delivers 6 colors, with other shades presumably created by a mixture of those hues....

China has announced new export controls on antimony, a metal used in semiconductor manufacturing, starting July 16, 2025. From now on, exports of antimony in all forms require government approval, which could impact global markets, as China supplies nearly half of the world’s antimony, according toDigiTimes. The new regulations will cover various antimony-related products, including raw ore, metal, and compounds like antimony oxides and hydrides. They also extend to high-tech materials used in semiconductor production, such as indium antimonide, ultra-hard materials, like synthetic diamonds and cubic boron nitride, and the technology needed to produce them....

DeepSeek’s newest R1 large language model has already become notorious after its release cratered AI stocks, and revelations about its privacy policy might raise eyebrows even more — the company records extensive data from its online users, including keystrokes, passwords, and data entered in queries like images and text, and then stores it in China-based servers. Personal information, including date of birth, email addresses, phone numbers, and passwords, are all fair game, according to DeepSeek....

Cooler Masterreleased anofficial statement on Xsaying that its latest product, the Cryofuze 5, is not ‘AI thermal paste’. The term came from a Google-translation of the Chinese page for the Cryofuze 5, where the original Chinese characters — AI竞彩导热膏 — were translated as ‘AI competitive thermal paste’ or ‘AI thermal paste’. The official statement from Cooler Master says that the company isn’t actively promoting the Cryofuze 5 as an ‘AI thermal paste’ in the sense that it uses AI to help transfer heat from your CPU or GPU to the water block or heat sink....

On the Corsair website, you can find theCorsaire Virtuoso RGB SE wireless headset on sale for $129, saving a tasty $70 off the $199 MSRP....

You could say thatMicronic’s Kickstarter projectis a smashing success, at least for the two young engineers who dreamed of building a next-generation 3D printer out of their college apartment. Their Kickstarter backers have a different opinion. Henry Chan and Luke Boppart, both 2023 graduates of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, launched a Kickstarter in June to create an affordable Selective Laser Sintering 3D printer, dubbed the Micron. SLS uses a laser to melt thin layers of finely powdered material to form a 3D print....

The Steam Deck may have a lot of features, but thebest PC gaming handhelddoesn’t have a kickstand. Recently, I had the chance to check out Mechanism’s Deckmate, which claims to be a “universal mounting standard designed for all your gaming devices”. What this really means is that it’s an attachable adapter that allows you to easily use your Steam Deck (or commonSteam Deck alternatives) with a wide array of extra accessories or attachments, like a VESA mount, phone mount, or a puck to attach to batteries or USB hubs....

We can’t deny that sound is important, whether you’re surfing the internet, listening to music, watching movies, or doing other audio-intensive tasks. But like any other part of the system, at some point, it does run into issues. Sometimes your speakers may not output sound at all. While this is a common problem, it arises as a result of a variety of factors. Connectivity issues and software overriding sound settings are the most common ones among others....

Nowadays, Intel is engaged in a high-risk, multi-year strategy to reclaim its leadership, with global ramifications that intertwine technology, nationalsecurity, and geopolitics, believesFortunewriter Geoff Colvin. And even though Intel struggles, the U.S. remains the semiconductor industry leader, with $264.6 billion in revenue in 2023 alone, as noted byDan Nystedt. For decades, Intel has been the symbol of the U.S. semiconductor prowess. But without a doubt, Intel today is not the company it was a decade ago....
