 NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 launch could be the worst ever — can AMD capitalize?

New rumors have emerged detailing RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 stock shortages at major retailers just a week ahead of the official launch. With AMD waiting in the wings with its RDNA 4 GPUs until March, the extra time to build up stock could pay off.

Star Trek: Section 31 review: An embarrassment from start to end

Get enough Star Trek fans in a room and the conversation inevitably turns toward which of the series’ cinematic outings is the worst. The consensus view is The Final Frontier, Insurrection and Nemesis are duking it out for the unwanted trophy. Each film has a small legion of fans who will defend each entry’s campy excesses, boldness and tone. (I’m partial to watching The Final Frontier every five years or so, mostly to luxuriate in Jerry Goldsmith’s score.) Thankful

Show HN: libmodulor – An opinionated TS library to build multi-platform apps

Initially I started building this for my own projects. The main goal was to define a unified "blueprint" allowing me to develop multi-platform apps using the same code, without code generation. I wanted to be able to develop the same functionality on web, desktop, cli, server, mobile, whatever...

I've been able to achieve this by relying on TypeScript, a 4-layer architecture (UseCase => App => Product => Target) and dependency injection.

This mechanism allows me to use whatever tech stac

 AMD VP says the delayed Radeon 9000 GPU launch is about "taking a little extra time to optimize the software stack for maximum performance."

Where are the next-gen Radeon 9000 GPUs? AMD is taking its time to leak out details after a pulled CES presentation, and AMD's David McAfee most recently stated that the company is improving software and adding FSR 4 compatibility while we await the planned March 2025 launch.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 review: Pure AI excess for $2,000

A $2,000 video card for consumers shouldn't exist. The GeForce RTX 5090, like the $1,599 RTX 4090 before it, is more a flex by NVIDIA than anything truly meaningful for most gamers. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said as much when he revealed the GPU at CES 2025, assuming that it'll be for hardcore players who have $10,000 rigs.
