Linux-Gaming auf dem Weg aus der Patch-Hölle

Linux-Gaming leidet seit Jahren nicht an fehlender Leistung, sondern an struktureller Selbstsabotage. Zu viele Distributionen, zu viele Sonderlösungen, zu viele Kernel-Patches, die irgendwo zwischen GitHub-Repo und Maintainer-Burnout versanden. Genau hier setzt das Open Gaming Collective an und das ist der entscheidende Unterschied zu früheren gut gemeinten Initiativen.   Bislang kochte jede Gaming-nahe Linux-Distribution ihr eigenes […]

This is precisely why the concept presented in the video attracts attention, but at the same time requires sober assessment. After all, there is a world of difference between theoretical feasibility, practical […]

30 years of DDoS: why a structural problem persists

The first publicly documented denial-of-service attack occurred in 1996, when New York-based internet service provider Panix was rendered inaccessible for several days by a relatively simple SYN flood attack. A few hundred manipulated connection requests were enough to overload the infrastructure at the time. At that time, the term cyber resilience was hardly established, nor […]

TSMC would have to double its production just to satisfy NVIDIA’s appetite, Jensen Huang outlines the true scale of the AI boom

Jensen Huang’s statements are remarkable, not because of their tone, but because of their implicit significance.

Laboratory test: How the application method affects the life-span of thermal paste (with videos)

I deliberately chose not to structure today’s article as a classic thermal paste test, where you note down a temperature after a few minutes, compare it, and create a supposed ranking. From a physical point of view, this approach falls short and does not do justice to the reality of modern GPUs. What you see […]

Android flagships could equal Apple’s time advantage with the iPhone 18

The next generation of smartphones could mark a remarkable break with a long-established pattern. Rumor has it that Android flagships featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 will be released in the same month as Apple’s iPhone 18 series. This would eliminate a key advantage that Apple has consistently exploited in […]
