As PC components like RAM continue to be gobbled up by AI hyperscalers, leading to higher prices and limited supplies, a large electronics store in Japan is running out of computers and parts and is asking its customers to please sell them some old PCs. It has become more expensive to build or upgrade a PC over the last few months. A big reason for that is AI-focused tech companies gobbling up PC parts to build massive data centers. It’s becoming quite pricey and challenging for your average person to buy PC RAM and graphics cards, as companies like Micron stop selling…

The four-mile journey on the crawler-transporter-2 will take up to 12 hours. Teams are working around the clock to close out all tasks ahead of rollout. However,…
Dell’s XPS 14 now costs over $2,000. An AMD executive predicts that PC builders will likely make piecemeal upgrades this year, instead of building entirely new systems. And new AI supercomputers from NVIDIA and AMD are gobbling up the RAM market.

As…
The disease usually develops seven to 14 days after an exposure, but it can take up to 21 days (which is the length of quarantine). Once it develops, it’s marked by a high fever and a telltale rash that starts on the head and spreads downward. People are contagious for four days before the rash develops and four days after it appears. Complications can range from ear infections and diarrhea to encephalitis (swelling of the brain), pneumonia, death in up to 3 out of 1,000 children, and, in very rare cases, a fatal neurological condition that can develop seven to…
The sale of Polygon to a Canadian pornographer last year might have felt to some at the popular gaming website like being NPCs in a Hitman level. A cloak-and-dagger procession of NDAs clued in some of the staff to an ominous change in ownership coming in the days ahead, but no one knew who else knew, or the full details of what the sale would entail. “I didn’t know how many people were under NDA,” Polygon‘s former deputy editor Maddy Myers recently told me (full disclosure: Myers was also previously the deputy editor of Kotaku). “I didn’t know who knew…

The discovery of a never-before-seen bump on the leg bone of a 7 million-year-old fossil ape shows it walked upright on two legs while it was on the ground, a new study finds.Only members of the human lineage have this lump, called the femoral tubercle. That makes the species, Sahelanthropus tchadensis, the earliest known hominin, according to the study, published Jan. 2 in the journal Science Advances. (Hominins are the group of species, including humans, that existed after the split from chimpanzees and bonobos. Walking upright on two legs is a defining characteristic of hominins.)”That [bump] really sold it to…

In October, Apple caved to pressure from the Trump administration and removed ICEBlock — and similar apps which crowdsourced the location of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement activity — from its App Store. Apple’s stated rationale? The apps could “be used to harm law enforcement officers.” But armed-to-the-teeth ICE officers don’t need protection from civilians. Apple had that exactly backward.That became impossible to ignore on Wednesday, when ICE agent Jonathon Ross killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in cold blood. By now, you don’t need me to recount her brutal last moments. But the footage (graphic and disturbing as it is) is…
