PlayStation uploaded a video yesterday of Mark Cerny presenting a PS5 Pro Technical Seminar atSonyInteractive Entertainment HQ. The system architect provided a deep dive into Playstation 5 Pro’s new hardware and chose to clarify some rumors floating around the new console. Mark spent some time addressing “FLOPflation” since an “erroneous 33.5 TFLOPs number” was leaked due to a misunderstanding of the hardware by a leaker assuming deeper use ofRDNA 3-inspired architecture....

There are multiple reasons why your printer can get stuck. Maybe you accidentally gave a print command to the document that is not printable or gave multiple print commands at once. Likewise, the printer uses a small application called Print Spooler that places the print jobs in a queue and manages them. Most of the time, an issue with this application is why your printer queue won’t clear. How to Clear the Printer Queue Fixing the Printer Queue issue is quite easy unless your hardware has a fault....

The Qualcomm Oryon general-purpose cores found inside Snapdragon X processors are based on Arm’s Armv8 instruction set architecture (ISA), but they use very little technology developed by Arm, says Gerard Williams III, one of the lead developers behind Oryon and a variety of Apple’s processors. “One percent or less,” said Williams when asked to estimate the amount of Arm technology in the final design developed by Nuvia. The news came ina new report from Reuters....

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang purportedly was responsible for tanking quantum computing stocks on Wednesday after a claim he had made about quantum computers' usefulness.Reutersreports that Jensen Huang believes quantum computer usefulness will only truly take place in 20 years, tanking several quantum computing stocks by more than 40%. According to Reuters, Jensen Huang claimed on Tuesday, “If you kind of said 15 years… that’d probably be on the early side. If you said 30, it’s probably on the late side....

When trying to brainstorm projects for theRaspberry Pi Pico, using it to make a GPU is one of the last things we would have thought of. But clearly maker and developer Clem Mayer with Element 14 lives life on the wild side as he recently brought this intriguing idea to light in a video recently shared to the Element 14YouTubechannel. According to Mayer, the idea for this project stemmed from a need to create a graphics card for his Linux-based ESP32S3 machine....

When you buy an SSD, you look at the drive’s performance and endurance. Apparently,Samsung’s 990 Pro, one of thebest SSDs, has different endurance ratings depending on the country, as noticed by a member of aPolish hardware forum. However, it could be a typo. From a performance point of view, all of Samsung’s 990 Pro SSDs sold worldwide are similar. They promise up to 7,450 MB/s sequential read speed and 6,900 MB/s sequential write speed, making them some of the best PCIe Gen4 SSDs available today....

So, you have a second monitor set up? It sure is an exciting way to improve your overall experience with the system. Unfortunately, there are many instances where a once well-functioning second monitor now shutters and goes black from time to time. This issue varies from your monitor flashing on and off in an interval of seconds to days where your monitor won’t turn on at all. And to top it all off, there are no error prompts on the screen that you could focus on....

Earlier this week, a notable entry-level Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe HAT was released, supporting the PCIe 3.0 standard instead of PCIe 2.0 while also providing dual M.2 slots. The Seeed Studio PCIe 3.0 to Dual M.2 HAT [h/tCNX] costs just $45 per the officialstore page. For that price, you get one PCIe 3.0 lane per M.2 slot, with 8 GT/s throughput across both slots. Besides the obvious use case of M....

Here atComputex 2024, we’ve seen no shortage of peculiar sights, but the innovations in SSD cooling being showcased by Teamgroup have raised particular interest. They will certainly vary in installation viability depending on the specifications of your case, particularly inMini ITX casesand HTPC/SFF builds in general. Though considering the width of some modern 2-slot and 3-slot GPUs, some of these should still work in those more confined PC builds. So, the most immediately striking of the SSD coolers on display definitely has to be T-Force GD120S, which takes a typical NVMe cooling shroud and turns it into a watercooling pump attached to a full 120mm radiator and fan....

Black Friday is just on the horizon but you may already find some pretty stellar deals on gaming hardware—like this awesome deal on theAlienware M18 R2 RTX 4080 gaming laptop. This edition usually goes for around $2799 but right now it’s discounted to just $2199. As of writing, it’s not clear how long this discount will be made available. We took the opportunity to reviewAlienware M18 R2 RTX 4090 editionearlier this year and really enjoyed it, ultimately giving it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars....

Ethical hacking is a fascinating industry that requires a great degree of skill and knowledge. Penetration testing (pen testing) is the art of hacking into a system with the purpose of looking forsecurityconcerns. Pulling off this line of work requires specific tools which is where today’sRaspberry Piproject comes into play. Maker and developer Pablo Trujillo has created an extremely versatile tool for the job known asHackbat. It’s a custom PCB powered by our favorite microcontroller, the RP2040 which powers theRaspberry Pi Pico W....

We loveRaspberry Picyberdecks and Raspberry Pi-powered arcades—so why wouldn’t we love the two put together? Today, we’re sharing a cool project put together by maker and developer _Kniives, as he’s known over at Reddit, who has created not one but twoPi-powered arcade cyberdecksthat are completely portable. These builds look very cool and have all the benefits of a gaming console paired with a mini PC on the go. According to _Kniives, the idea was to make the systems primarily for gaming....
