Today’s test of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D deliberately focuses on several aspects that go beyond a mere snapshot of gaming performance and examine the processor in a broader technical context. The focus is on productive and workstation-related loads as well as the influence of different memory configurations in order to classify the interaction between architecture, […]

The start of 2026 suggests that Apple is continuing to accelerate its pace of introducing new generations of Apple Silicon. Following the introduction of the M5 in October of last year, there are increasing indications that its successor, the M6, could also appear earlier than the classic annual cycle would previously have suggested. These speculations […]

Microsoft has released unscheduled security updates for Microsoft Office and Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise after a previously unknown vulnerability was actively exploited. Such emergency patches are rare and are only rolled out when there is an immediate threat to a large number of systems. This is precisely the situation here, as the attack does […]

What is emerging here is less a technical failure than a sober business decision. According to the well-known leaker SquashBionic, Intel’s planned consumer flagship of the Battlemage generation, the Arc B770, is apparently on the brink of collapse. The reason is both banal and brutal: it is not profitable. With the Arc B570 and B580, […]

The warning comes as no surprise, but it is clear. According to current analyses by security firm Eset, almost every second private Windows PC in Germany continues to run Windows 10, even though regular support expired in October 2025. Around 21 million devices are affected. The term “sleeping beauty,” which Eset uses to describe the […]

With the “Headwinds” update, which will be released on January 27, 2026, Embark Studios is deliberately making a statement with Arc Raiders.

Microsoft has unveiled Maia 200, a new, specially developed AI chip that further sharpens the company’s strategic course in the field of artificial intelligence. Unlike classic high-performance accelerators, Maia 200 is not designed for training large language models, but is consistently tailored to inference tasks, i.e., the efficient execution of already trained AI models. This […]

The idea behind full drive encryption is clearly defined. Data should only be accessible to the person who has the key. With BitLocker, Microsoft has been providing a deeply integrated encryption solution for Windows for years, which is particularly impressive due to its ease of activation. In practice, however, this convenience comes with structural consequences […]

TikTok’s handling of data belonging to underage users is once again under criticism in Germany. The Berlin Regional Court II has ruled that the video platform’s current age verification process is insufficient to meet legal data protection requirements. Specifically, this concerns children and young people between the ages of 13 and 16, whose personal data, […]

What is emerging here is less technological evolution than strategic segmentation. According to consistent insider information, AMD plans to continue shipping its mainstream APUs with RDNA 3.5 iGPUs until at least 2029. Truly new graphics architecture, specifically RDNA 5, will be reserved for premium SoCs. So if you want progress, you have to pay. Period. […]

Apple continues to leave many questions unanswered about the upcoming MacBook Pro models. Despite numerous hints from the supply chain and repeated reports from well-informed circles, there is still no concrete date for the launch of the next generation with M5 Pro and M5 Max.

After DRAM, it is now NAND’s turn. Anyone who had hoped that at least the SSD market would remain stable must now abandon this illusion. According to reports from Asian supply chains, the NAND market is facing massive price increases, with immediate consequences for SSDs, notebooks, and ultimately the entire consumer PC market. Samsung’s role […]

Samsung appears to be on the verge of securing a strategically important place in NVIDIA’s next generation of AI. According to reports in the South Korean media, the company has successfully completed all verification and qualification stages for its HBM4 memory modules. This makes Samsung one of the first – if not the first – […]

In keeping with the recently concluded competition, today I am testing one of the products and, of course, taking it apart. The Edifier T5S is clearly positioned as a compact, actively powered subwoofer for entry-level to lower mid-range users and is primarily aimed at those who want to add clean bass to existing 2.0 or […]

Capcom’s sci-fi action title PRAGMATA is currently attracting attention not only on PC, but also in the Apple camp. Although no native macOS port has been announced yet, a recent practical test shows that Apple’s M4 Max is capable of running the game’s demo in impressive quality and at a high frame rate. This once […]

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the world of work, and its impact goes far beyond the introduction of new software or automated processes. It is becoming increasingly clear that the role of humans is shifting. As machines increasingly take on operational tasks, humans are moving into a position of management, evaluation, and control. Work is […]

Router manufacturer GL.iNet is launching HaLowLink 2, a new network device based on the IEEE 802.11ah Wi-Fi standard, better known as Wi-Fi HaLow. This standard differs fundamentally from classic WLAN, as it does not operate in the familiar 2.4, 5, or 6 GHz bands, but instead uses significantly lower frequencies below 1 GHz. In Europe, […]

CachyOS is a Linux distribution developed in Germany that deliberately positions itself outside the mainstream. Technically, it is based on Arch Linux, but strategically it has a clear focus: maximum performance combined with controlled stability. The January 2026 release underscores this claim with a combination of aggressive optimization, the latest graphics technology, and pragmatic design […]

Forza Horizon 6, the next installment in one of the most successful open-world racing game series, is just around the corner.

Additive manufacturing has long since outgrown its niche as a prototyping technology. Anyone who still believes in 2026 that metal 3D printing is primarily a playground for lightweight construction demonstrators and small series has failed to understand the pace of industrial change.

Today, I am deliberately leaving the Sunday topic open, not because I lack ideas, but simply because I realize that even on a technology website, the world does not end at the edge of the next circuit board. Even though we normally deal with silicon, voltage converters, and thermal paste here, it would be somewhat […]

Windows 10 is still part of everyday life for many private and business users in Germany, even though the operating system has officially been discontinued. Current figures show that almost every second Windows PC in German private households continues to run Windows 10.
