Asus GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition review:  Silent running

Asus’ GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition is built with a single-minded focus on quiet operation. It takes the world’s second-fastest gaming GPU and reduces its noise levels to the absolute minimum thanks to an enormous heatsink and three cutting-edge Noctua fans. But its size, weight, high price, and polarizing design all make it a product for the Noctua faithful and quiet computing obsessives only. Read more

I retired at 64 with enough savings to live comfortably — and by month seven I understood why so many men my age don’t survive the first two years, because losing your job title feels like losing permission to take up space

After 40 years of being "the electrician," I discovered the real reason retirement kills men within two years—it's not the money or boredom, it's the terrifying silence that comes when you realize nobody needs you to wake up anymore. Read more

Meet your new phone away from phone

Unihertz's booth at MWC was a little out of the way, but those who did find it all seemed to want to pick up the Titan Elite 2. Sure, the cosmic orange color attracted attention, and the QWERTY keyboard reminded one showgoer of his old BlackBerry. But once I picked it up, I could see […] Read more

Зачем командам разработки и QA концепция DoR и DoD, и как не превратить ее в бюрократию

На связи Анастасия Шильникова, менеджер по тестированию компании «Гарда». Мы регулярно сталкиваемся с ситуациями, когда в Jira к задаче вроде есть какое-то описание, стоит статус «готово», но, чтобы понять, в чем была проблема, что было исправлено, как было проверено, приходится «нырять» в мессенджер или звонить коллегам. Все это съедает время, размывает ответственность между командами и мешает выпускать продукт быстро, качественно, в срок.Чтобы решить проблему, мы решили внедрить в жизненный цикл... Read more
