Top Story

AMD shares slid 5% on the market after annual results revealed a 14% increase in revenue and a 92% increase in net income. (Thurrott)

Because analysts were expecting even more.

Maybe at some point greed stops being good.

Tech News

Using the time-tested method of hitting things with stuff, physicists have confirmed the existence of a third form of magnetism. (Science Alert)

Termed altermagnetism, the individual atoms in the crystal lattice have their quantum spin in opposite directions to their neighbours, but with a novel twist, that they don't explain very well and which I don't understand but can apparently be used to store data somehow.
Australia has also banned Chinese spyware DeepSeek from government devices. (The Register)

The country also moaned bitterly that nobody takes it seriously when it says the internet can be used to look at naughty pictures.
Plugging a handheld gaming device into a dock with an Nvidia RTX 5090. (The Verge) (archive site)

First, it actually worked, and second, it worked pretty well for the most part. On Horizon Zero Dawn it saw a significant loss of performance compared with a desktop system with a 5090, which may have been the OCuLink connection or may have been the thermal limits of the pocket-sized device.

The 5090 itself offers a PCIe 5.0 x16 connector, but OCuLink only provides PCIe 4.0 x4 - one eighth as much bandwidth. Tests have showed that the 5090 keeps chugging right along with PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 x16 slots, but this is half that again.

So if you really need to play Horizon Zero Dawn on your handheld device plugged into a desktop graphics card that it is not currently possible to buy, you may be limited to just 80fps.

Evening and morning, late toilers and early risers. 'Tis Woden's Day, and around noon we will be halfway through an eventful week and halfway to the haven of the weekend.

65 F. here, damp and foggy. I should go work out. I really should. And I know I'll feel better once I do.

I have a dr.'s appointment at 3, just the usual check-in stuff. After that I can head straight home. Maybe I can get home early.

Man, I used to love Max Headroom and Art of Noise, and then when there was a collaboration, dang. Great memory. I'd forgotten about him. I'm reluctant to revisit him lest it ruin the memories, but they were great.

IIRC someone dressed up like him and hijacked a TV frequency or two at some point in the late 80s.

nobody was talking about his cabinet picks, it was all Greenland, all the time

now, he's getting the machine spun up about gaza, which probably means he's doing something wonderful behind the gaza smoke screen he created

86 If I'm not wrong, in England they have an actual Shadow Ministry, where the second biggest party has their own cabinet that doesn't really have special power, but are tasked with carping and bitching about everything the government in power does.

So the "shadow minister of scones and buggery" can stand up during PMQs and bemoan how there's too much/not enough scones and buggery in the country, and it's all the not-shadow minister of scones and buggery's fault.

89 Mysteriously, and depending on which price info source you check, gold price has risen about 9% year to date.

Usually thatsort of dramatic price change reflects inflation or global tensions. China, which stopped buying US Treasury debt (as much as possible anyway) about two years ago is a major buyer of gold, so maybe that is another reason the price is up so much.

But it is strange.
