In political debates, switching from a global hyperscaler to European cloud providers often sounds like an obvious decision. In practice, however, such a move proves to be technically and organizationally challenging. A Spanish developer, founder of the auto parts trading platform hank.parts, has taken precisely this path and distributed his infrastructure from Amazon Web Services […]

New reports suggest that AMD may launch its next major desktop CPU generation based on the Zen 6 architecture later than originally expected. Instead of a possible launch in 2026, the Ryzen desktop series, codenamed “Olympic Ridge,” is now expected to be released in 2027. Although AMD has yet to officially confirm this, several leaks […]

I admit, I naively assumed that age verification meant something like a binary flag. Over 18, under 18, done. An additional check mark in the database, perhaps a one-time comparison, minimally invasive, purpose-built. Instead, we now see an infrastructure that is more reminiscent of opening a bank account than accessing a gaming or community server. Discord […]

The strategic orientation of large software providers seems clear: cloud services dominate communication, investment, and product development. Microsoft is also positioning Azure, Microsoft 365, and cloud-based security and platform services prominently in the market. However, a closer look reveals a more nuanced picture. Despite the strong focus on the cloud, there is still a broad […]

AMD has set a new world record for GPU frequency in collaboration with renowned overclocker Splave. The venue was the AMD office in Markham, Canada. The object of desire: an RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 9060 XT. The result: 4.769 GHz GPU clock speed under liquid nitrogen. This is no cosmetic improvement. It is a clear […]

Magnetic tapes, hard drives, and SSDs form the foundation of the digital age, but their lifespan is limited. Even under optimal conditions, traditional storage media lose their reliability after a few decades. Against this backdrop, Microsoft Research is working on a technology that will preserve data not just for generations, but for millennia. The project, […]

Intel is shifting part of its customer support toward automation and calling it “Agentic AI.” Specifically, this refers to the “Ask Intel” program, a virtual assistant based on Microsoft Copilot Studio. The message is clear: less waiting time, fewer standard inquiries for support staff, and greater efficiency through AI. However, the reality is likely to […]

Calendar week 08 of the year 2026, in Germany from February 16, 2026, to February 22, 2026, is notable for an unusually dense combination of government-related data access, widespread disruptions in the healthcare system, confirmed and suspected partner data breaches at large companies, and a series of vulnerability reports that are explicitly described as being […]

The Top.E R1 aims to bring about nothing less than a paradigm shift. Instead of stubbornly building up the component layer by layer along a fixed Z-axis, this printer brings movement into play. Literally. The printing plate can not only be adjusted in height, but also tilted by up to 30 degrees. This is not […]

The ever-increasing installation sizes of modern games pose challenges for both players and platform operators. Blockbuster titles have long exceeded the 100 gigabyte mark, major updates consume additional storage capacity, and downloads quickly become a test of patience, especially with slower internet connections. A recently published patent from Sony Interactive Entertainment suggests that the company […]

NVIDIA has sold its remaining ARM shares, worth around $140 million. This formally ends a chapter that began in 2020 with the ambitious, ultimately failed attempt to acquire Arm Holdings. Strategically, however, this move is not a retreat from the CPU world, but rather a signal: NVIDIA wants to remain flexible as the balance of […]

What has been considered a systemic weakness of 3D printing for decades is being tackled head-on here: time. Traditional additive processes build components layer by layer. This is precise, but slow. A research team at Tsinghua University now claims to have eliminated this bottleneck, at least on a millimeter scale. The process is called Digital […]

Fitness watches and smartwatches are considered practical everyday aids. They count steps, measure your heart rate, and remind you to move. But behind these seemingly harmless functions lies a highly complex data collection infrastructure that can paint a very detailed picture of a person. The modern smartwatch is no longer just a fitness gadget, but […]

When compliance becomes a mere formality, a single programming error is enough to bring even the most sophisticated security architecture crashing down. That is exactly what happened with Microsoft Copilot. A bug in the code allowed the AI assistant to display confidential content from Outlook folders, even though this content was protected by data loss […]

A blind test with over 1,000 participants reveals an uncomfortable truth: upscaling is no longer the compromise that many still sell it as. In a community comparison by ComputerBase, DLSS 4.5 clearly outperformed native resolution with TAA and AMD’s FSR 4. The result is clear and strategically explosive. Test setup: 4K, quality preset, no marketing […]
