Still 13 months of Windows 10 Support! I just released an extremely easy guide on how to get the Extended Security Updates! https://t.co/jb8sQMtL03

I literally just yelled "DO NOT DO MOM OF WAR!" yet..here we are...

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

I mean, this all sounds cool...but there's no way modern consumers would be able to buy it, right?

NVIDIA has announced RTX Spark, a new chip for Windows PCs that combines the CPU, RTX graphics, AI hardware, and memory into a single package.

The company says RTX Spark can run modern games at 1440p and over 100 FPS in thin and lightweight laptops.

>It is an ARM-based chip that combines a GPU with performance similar to the RTX 5070.

>The processor includes a 20-core Grace CPU and 128 GB of unified memory.

>It delivers strong gaming performance, offering around 100 FPS at 1440p in modern titles like 007 First Light and Forza Horizon 6.

>The chip maintains good performance even on battery power in Windows laptops.

>It also features advanced AI capabilities.

>The RTX Spark is designed for both laptops and desktops.

>It is scheduled to launch in Fall 2026 as a joint effort between NVIDIA and Microsoft.

This has been fixed with the latest update! Each alarm now has a segment of text in the upper spot to tell you which alarm is which.

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

Took what I thought was the lesser of two evils today in terms of software updates. Switch Version 20.0 or Android 15. I chose Android 15 for my Galaxy S24+ and so far so good, but these changes to the alarm widgets are awful.

@dionelr The marketing goes crazy out there. I regularly deal with people who think their laptop is old because it's 2 years or so. Not a lot of 'Buy It For Lifer's' in the electronics world, heh.

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

As a professional PC Builder, I'm shocked when people are "happy" that they got 4 years out of their gaming PC. Yikes.

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

I finally had the time to build an AMD PC I've been meaning to build (with filming) to allow me to have an entirely separate workspace for my PC Repairs. I've got a sick Alienware laptop I want to bring back to life!

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

I purposefully set up my new studio so I wouldn't have to mess with constantly changing my lighting and camera positions.

Guess what I spent most of the day doing today?

When she was walking to Frank, instead of saying "I'm The Punisher now" it would have landed way harder if she went "It's morbin time!"

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

@robertoblake Did you ever play the PC Game? Even thinking about it still shakes me to my core.

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

New Smash Game gonna be hype.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

First trailer for the new ‘STAR FOX’ game.

Releasing June 25 on Nintendo Switch 2.

The carrot on a stick of being able to play your games at midnight after they pre-download is too strong.

"Stop Killing Games!"
"We need to get corporations to stop killing games!"

Gamers Kill Games by empowering companies to keep being anti-consumer.

If you really wanted to "Stop Killing Games," you'd hold companies AND GAMERS accountable for bad behavior.

Stop Buying Digital.

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

Buy everything you can as a physical copy.

Pains me to say, but even if I have to wait longer, GTA6 will be a physical purchase for me.

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

PlayStation support has confirmed that a new digital rights management policy for the console is intentional, not a glitch.

Starting with any digital games purchased after the March 2026 system update, your PS5 will require an internet connection at least once every 30 days to validate the license.

If the console stays offline longer than that, the games simply will not launch until you reconnect.

This change does not affect any titles already in your library. Setting a console as your primary system also will not bypass the monthly check-in.

I've built thousands of PC's using all different types of cases. @Phanteks may be the best one I've ever used. https://t.co/MfE0dDBF47

Being in Adobe Premiere and accidentally dragging one workspace somewhere and having it completely obliterate everything in the UI is definitely my favorite thing. For future reference - ALT + SHIFT + 0 reset it to what I am comfy with.

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

@Focus_entmt PS5 for God of War Ragnarok (mistake) and Switch 2 for Pokopia (Not a mistake)

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

@robertoblake Cool Tagline = Trust? 😎

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

@YouTubeCreators That's the goal! I look back to where I was a year ago, and I may not be exactly where I planned on being, but I'm closer than I was, and building momentum for the future.

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

I've spoken a lot about the importance of a high quality PSU from a reputable brand and how you should never cheap out on a PSU. ASUS further proves their value.

Really miss the days when LCD's were held in by screws and not the thinnest piece of double sided tape that rips when you look at it wrong.

[The Don Tech @TheDonTech]

I am pretty sure I have now played my Switch 2 more in the first 2 weeks vs the entirety of my PS5 since buying it in early 2022.

To be fair that is also because God Of War Ragnarok has 0 replayability because..who is going to play as Boy again and pick fruit?
