Armada has launched Beacon, a compact edge computing device designed for remote industrial environments like offshore oil rigs. The rugged pod works alongside the company’s larger Galleon containers and integrates with NOV’s Max software platform to process sensor and video data at the edge.
According to The How-To Geek, several once-popular CPUs are now officially too old for gaming in 2025. Chips like the AMD Zen 1 series from 2017 and Intel’s Core i5-6600K from 2015 simply can’t keep up with modern game engines. Even legendary processors like the 2011-era Core i7-2600K now cause micr
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation predicts AI inference will drive massive cloud-native adoption. New specialized platforms and Kubernetes enhancements are emerging to handle this explosive growth. The next 18 months could see hundreds of billions in spending.
Microsoft has temporarily disabled several key Windows 11 features including tabbed folders and AI image actions. The company says these features will return in a phased rollout after refinements. Several other experimental features are also paused in this latest preview build.
Microsoft is rolling out Copilot Actions to Windows Insiders across all channels. The feature creates secure workspaces where AI agents can automatically handle tasks like file organization and PDF processing based on natural language commands.
According to The How-To Geek, Apple’s Magic Trackpad is the best standalone trackpad for Windows users despite being designed for Macs. The $129 device requires third-party drivers like Magic Utilities or open-source alternatives to unlock full gesture support on Windows 11. Users report the trackpa
Apple’s high-end Mac Pro workstation appears headed for the chopping block. The company is reportedly prioritizing Mac Studio development while leaving its $7,000 tower “on the back burner.”
Japan’s 1960 MARS-1 system revolutionized train ticketing by automating reservations that previously took hours. The system could confirm seats in seconds and handle thousands of daily bookings, laying groundwork for modern transaction systems from airlines to banking.
AMD continues its steady march against Intel’s CPU dominance, now capturing 30.9% of the overall x86 market. While Intel still leads at 69.1%, the gap has narrowed significantly from 75% just a year ago. The server and desktop segments show particularly strong momentum for AMD.
The supercomputing world is fracturing as GPU clusters dominate AI workloads. Legacy storage systems can’t handle the new I/O patterns, with metadata consuming up to 20% of operations. Every idle GPU second now represents significant financial loss.
