So you want to buy a gaming handheld PC

Gaming handhelds are amazing. They make it so much easier to fit all kinds of games into my day. Sadly, they’re less affordable than they’ve ever been — due to an unprecedented, AI-fueled shortage of memory chips, an unforced oil crisis, rampant inflation, fallout from tariffs, and more. But that’s not going to stop you. […] Read more

Десять лет поддержки и новые процессоры: как AMD превратила сокеты в долгожителей

В мире сборки и апгрейда персональных компьютеров смена платформы почти всегда оборачивается дополнительными тратами. Новый сокет часто вынуждает менять не только процессор, но и материнскую плату, а затем и оперативную память (не всегда, но частенько). В итоге даже умеренный прирост производительности может стоить серьезных денег и времени на переустановку системы.AMD уже несколько лет идет другим путем. Компания сознательно продлевает жизнь своих платформ, давая возможность обновлять в первую очередь проц Read more

The US Military Quietly Turned GPS Into a Global 'Numbers Station,' Evidence Suggests

A security researcher says evidence suggests the U.S. military has been using an obscure GPS message field for nearly 20 years to broadcast encrypted key-distribution data, effectively turning GPS satellites into a global "numbers station." The hidden-looking 176-bit messages appear tied to the Pentagon's Over-the-Air Distribution system for remotely updating cryptographic keys, meaning ordinary GPS receivers may have been receiving the traffic all along without anyone outside the military noticing....
