Sharkoon Skiller SGH40W Wireless Gaming Headset Review – Functionally tailored settings for gamers at a fair price

The Sharkoon Skiller SGH40W headset is a prime example of a product category that is often either dismissed outright or superficially praised in tests: affordable wireless models in the $70 range.

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 […]

The impossible cooler? 185 watts in a low-profile format and why skepticism is warranted

185 watts of power dissipation, dissipated by a low-profile CPU cooler. This sentence alone sounds like marketing folklore from the “PowerPoint thermodynamics” department. 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 […]
