Soaring demand for a limited supply of memory chips and other components has quickly pushed up prices for the Nvidia AI servers those chips go into, particularly over the last few months. That’s made it more difficult for cloud providers that buy the servers to create budgets and predict future costs, and has prompted many of them to raise prices for their AI developer customers, according to conversations with server...

Commodore announced its $499 Callback 8020 flip phone a couple of weeks ago, and apparently people didn't like the price. So now the device has gone up for pre-order as promised, but it starts at $399. That's some magic trick - making the product 20% cheaper before even launching it.

According to Dr Henry Legg, a lecturer at the University of St Andrews, the claims were undermined by omitted data, selective plotting, and basic Python errors that concealed alternative results. Microsoft, for... Read more ›
