Micron Pushes Storage Boundaries with Blazing PCIe 6.0 SSDs—But Not for Consumers Yet Micron has made history by launching the world’s first SSD using the PCI Express 6.0 standard, and it’s every bit as fast as you might hope. The new Micron 9650 series delivers sequential reads at an astonishing 28,000 MB/s and writes at 14,000 MB/s—dramatically outpacing PCIe 5.0 SSDs, including the fastest consumer models like the Teamgroup Z540. Unfortunately, this isn’t a product for gamers or creative professionals at home. It’s designed strictly for enterprise data centers, particularly those handling AI workloads that demand massive throughput and durability.…
From Arizona to Pyongyang: How a Remote Job Opened the Door to a Global Cybercrime Operation A century ago, hidden operations in American homes were often fueled by jazz, gin, and secrecy. In 2024, secrecy of a different kind took center stage in an otherwise normal residence in Arizona, where federal investigators uncovered a clandestine data center powering one of the most sophisticated foreign cyber operations seen in recent years. At the heart of it was Christina Chapman, an American woman lured by a remote job offer that spiraled into her becoming a linchpin for hackers working directly under North…

The days of slim, elegant GPUs might not be entirely gone, thanks to Inno3D’s announcement of the RTX 5090 and 5080 iChill Frostbite Pro models. Unlike the massive three- and four-slot monsters common in modern gaming PCs, these cards take an opposite approach by offering premium performance in a much slimmer, liquid-cooled form factor—at the cost of complexity and price. According to details from VideoCardz, the iChill Frostbite Pro RTX 5090 measures just 223mm long, 134mm tall, and 20mm thick—far smaller than Nvidia’s own already-compact Founder’s Edition. The RTX 5080 variant is even tinier at just 187mm by 110mm, making…
Windows 11 users have endured another wave of update-related headaches, and this time Microsoft has subtly confirmed what many suspected: recent mandatory system updates have negatively affected system stability. This development contrasts sharply with the company’s own narrative that Windows 11 is its “most reliable” operating system ever. June’s updates—KB5060842 and KB5063060—are at the heart of the latest round of issues. These cumulative updates were pushed automatically as part of Microsoft’s update cycle and were aimed at preparing systems for Windows 11 version 24H2. But rather than improving performance and security, they introduced new complications. Some users found themselves unable…
If you’ve been holding out for a compact, high-end keyboard that offers both portability and premium features, Logitech’s MX Keys Mini might be exactly what you’re looking for—and it just dropped to a remarkably low price. Usually listed at $100, this wireless keyboard is now available for only $59.99 from Woot, but the catch is that you’ll have to act quickly, as inventory is limited and the best part of the discount ends today. The MX Keys Mini is built for minimalist setups without sacrificing performance. Its 60% layout gives you a small footprint while still including full arrow keys,…
The TPM 2.0 requirement has been one of the most talked-about barriers for users looking to upgrade to Windows 11. Designed to boost system security and integrity, TPM 2.0 provides crucial features like secure boot, BitLocker support, and protection against firmware-level threats. For Microsoft, this component isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a baseline standard for running Windows 11, and it’s been that way since the OS launched in 2021. As a result, millions of users with otherwise capable PCs have found themselves stuck on Windows 10 due to missing or unsupported TPM modules. But despite Microsoft’s clear position, some users are…

That’s why this deal is worth jumping on: Anker’s excellent two-pack of 100W USB-C charging cables is down to just $12, a 25% savings that gives you high-speed charging power at an unbeatable price. Each cable in this bundle is engineered to handle up to 100 watts of power—enough to fast-charge phones, tablets, USB-C battery packs, and even…
Today marks the beginning of Microsoft’s rollout of Copilot Mode for Edge — an experimental new experience that replaces the standard new tab layout with a Copilot-driven interface and allows the AI to monitor all currently open tabs. Microsoft is pitching it as a free, time-limited test, with no word yet on what the future subscription model might look like. It’s entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in Edge’s Settings at any time. Once active, Copilot Mode replaces the content-rich “new tab” page with a clean interface that resembles Microsoft’s standalone Copilot app. Rather than surfacing a…
