    Nvidia has "Unlaunched" the RTX 4080 12GB

    Apple Devices Bricked By Helium Leak

    In the vast majority of cases, it is much cheaper to vent the helium. I totally get that seems crazy, given the high cost of liquid helium and the finite supply, but that's how the numbers work out for those of us running NMR facilities.

    Apple Devices Bricked By Helium Leak

    This is interesting. I do at least six NMR magnet fills with liquid helium a year, and my 4 year old iPhone 6 still works fine. It's company issued, so if it would just suck in a little more helium then maybe they'd finally refresh it :-p It's possible that the air handler in the building...

    Tech News from TWit Netcast Network Featuring Kyle Bennett and Patrick Norton

    That was great. Plus, the people I manage at work thought I was on a video-con, so they stopped barging into my office every 10 minutes!

    NVIDIA Pulling Plug on GPP

    This whole thing really gets me thinking. There are a few other top tier tech websites that must also have the connections to know what NVIDIA was pulling. They must have known what was going on, yet said nothing. Only Kyle had the guts to tell us the truth. How am I supposed to trust...

    NVIDIA Pulling Plug on GPP

    I wonder if Dell, HP, and perhaps Intel (due to their AMD licensed GPU) quietly let NVIDIA know that they were considering legal action?

    Apple Allegedly Throttles Older iPhones with Degraded Batteries

    This is happening to my work issued iPhone 6. The CPU frequency is progressively throttles down from 1400 MHz to ~1100 MHz, then 839 MHz, and then 600 MHz by the time the battery is at 80% charged. Actually my phone rearely will run at the rated 1400 MHz anymore. This is a relatively new...

    Superaccurate GPS Chips Coming to Smartphones in 2018

    Most Consumer ISPs are Still Dreadful 2017 Edition

    We recently dumped Comcast and switched to sonic.net. Symmetrical gigabit for $40 a month ($52.91 a month after all the taxes and local city "fees"). And they don't treat me like crap like Comcast did. This is what happens when there is actually some competition.
