The first since Breath of the Wild upended everyone’s expectations, not just of the Zelda series, but of the...
Nick found some pretty nice post-Prime Day prices on GPUs earlier today. But only relatively speaking. You're still looking at over $700 for a '70 Ti-class Nvidia card. Ouch. And one of the reasons why is surely the dominance of TSMC when it comes to manufacturing chips for the likes of Nvidia, AMD and, latterly, Intel.

Nothing brings to light the spookily anarchic nature of the international order more than cyber warfare. It's happening all the time, in that ethereal realm of bits and bytes—poking, prodding, testing. We might picture this as state agencies tampering with other state agencies, but the reality is often far from it, as demonstrated by a recent report from cybersecurity company Proofpoint's Threat Research team (via Mynavi).This research shows how Chinese...
