Daily Tech News 2 March 2026

Top Story

  • The entry-level PC market - systems priced between $500 and $1000 - is predicted to be wiped out by 2028. (WCCFTech)

    The leading cause of this mass extinction is everyone's favourite villain, Sam Altman of OpenAI. CPU and motherboard prices haven't moved, but RAM prices have increased 300 to 500%, with video cards as collateral damage, and storage prices are heading into the stratosphere as well.

    I suspect the video game market will be forced to adjust to lower average specs for the next few years. Either that or they're going to lose all their remaining customers to indie titles that run fine on ten-year-old hardware.

    Hytale recommends a Radeon 400 series, a range that came out in 2016. Silksong recommends a Radeon 380 from 2015, but will run on a Radeon 7750 from 2012. And that means it will run on pretty much any laptop's integrated graphics.

    Custom PC builders are going to be hurting for years, though.

Tech News

  • We've cured cancer in mice. Again. (Science Daily)

    The new treatment this time uses a metal-organic framework - iron-based nano-particles - to trigger oxidative stress within the tumour cells while leaving healthy tissue untouched.


  • Lenovo has announced a whole bunch of expensive toys at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, including the latest Legion Tab. (Notebook Check)

    The Legion Tab 5 is slightly better and a whole lot more expensive that the Legion Tab 3 I have. Display resolution is up from the already excellent (for an 8.8" tablet) to 3040x1904, and the CPU has been upgraded from an already fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

    The microSD card slot on earlier models has not returned, nor has the headphone jack. And the MSRP is two and a half times what I paid for mine, making it an easy upgrade to skip.


  • ClawJacked is an attack that lets people break into your local OpenClaw instances by getting you to load a web page. (Bleeping Computer)

    Because web pages running on your browser are free to access websocket services running on your local PC, which is something OpenClaw does. OpenClaw is password protected but not rate-limited on its local ports, so code running in your browser can simply keep guessing.

    I won't judge OpenClaw harshly on this one. Too few developers understand that this is even possible, let alone take any measures to guard against it.


  • I said I was done buying new computer bits. I lied.

    As I mention on my own blog yesterday, I was wandering around the web looking for specs for something - I've since forgotten what I was looking for - when I noticed that an Aussie online store was selling 4TB SSDs at the 2TB price.

    I was very good. I wanted to buy eight. I bought two. About $290 each including tax and shipping, which is a damn good price for a PCIe 4.0 TLC drive right now.


Musical Interlude

Didn't have anything on my list for today, so here's the opening song for last year's stand-out anime series, Ruri Rocks. It's the story of Ruri, and rocks.



Yes, the older girl does carry a medieval war hammer on her back. Gotta carry protection against bears and sudden outcroppings of feldspar.

Bonus: Full-length music video by the vocalist:



Unrelated: A new trailer for Witch Hat Atelier just popped up.



Despite its looks, this one is not all sweetness and light. The manga is excellent, though, and I have high hopes for the anime.

22 Trump is looking to foreign policy to build his legacy.

I get it. The domestic Left has mostly forstalled his powers by their control of the courts and the complicity of the Republican DC corruptocrats.

Trump sees Empire building as his only path to historical greatness.

But Trump’s ignoring of the enemy within will only increase it's power and will consign him to historical irrelevance like it did with Reagan.

Trump’s only path to historical greatness will be crushing the domestic Left.

But I fear Trump’s focus on international affairs signals a surrender on the domestic side.

28 I think if you read the stuff on X about 21 million not being able to get ID to vote I am beginning to think that it is real.
There are 21 to 30 million voters that do NOT belong on the rolls.
They have lived in the US long enough to escape detection and are living on pass down SS# or stolen IDs or share IDs.
2020 had 155 million votes.
2024 had 152 million votes.
Now imagine with SAVE that number goes to 140 or maybe even 135.
People will realize just how much of their lives and livelihoods are stolen and controlled by people that do NOT belong here.

The moving company guy I talked with last week has not called me back after two emails. The real estate agent in Owensboro, ditto. And after talking with three apartment complexes there, I've realized that with pet deposits, security deposits, rent, fees, "pet rent," and the cost to break a lease, renting an apartment there for less than a year would be insane. Not to mention their rents are insane by my standards.

I want to move, but I don't see how I can.

With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor, and he was known to be fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo’s “Les Misérables.” But like the uncompromising Khomeini, he opposed moderates’ efforts to promote political and social reforms domestically and to secure rapprochement with the United States.

77 @RickZ: Hang in there. J.J. Sefton had one of the worst cancers you can get (a Glioblastoma). We all prayed hard for him, and God provided complete healing, using the minds, hearts, and hands of an excellent oncology team of doctors and nurses.

He can do the same for you. This morning I offer you these two scriptures to comfort you:

Philippians 4: 6-7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Isaiah 41:10

Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
Do not be anxious, for I am your God.
I will fortify you, yes, I will help you,
I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.

91 American markets open shortly for the first trades post-Iran action. Oil, as you would expect, is climbing much higher to start, maybe opening between $75-80, up from $67 on Friday. A great deal of the worlds oil, maybe 20% ships through the straits of Hormuz every day, and 90% of that goes to Asia, so Japan, China, South Korea, and Taiwan, highly developed economies all, will be scrambling to cover their needs in the markets. Expect oil in the short term to climb to as much as $100 until OPEC, Venezuela and the US can ramp up production, or the Iranians cave. Any stocks dependent on world trade, like banks, shipping companies, Amazon or Walmart, clothing companies etc, will all get chopped to hell until the situation gets clearer.

But after all the turmoil, and if Trump succeeds, just imagine what he will have accomplished: the two main suppliers of oil to China will now be under American control, the main source of turmoil in the middle east will have been stopped cold, Russia's main drone supplies ended, and the Abraham Accords will get a jolt of support. And Europe? Who cares.

I think were are into double alpha versions.

The Eagle took its maiden flight in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. It is among the most successful modern fighters, with 104 victories and 0 losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force.

However, reduced procurement pushed the retirement of the remaining F-15C/D, mostly in the Air National Guard, to 2026 and forced the service to supplement the F-22 with an advanced Eagle variant, the F-15EX, to maintain enough air superiority fighters. The F-15 remains in service with numerous countries.
