Meta is reportedly testing its first in-house AI training chip

Breaking: A Big Tech company is ramping up its AI development. (Whaaat??) In this case, the protagonist of this now-familiar tale is Meta, which Reuters reports is testing its first in-house chip for AI training. The idea is to lower its gargantuan infrastructure costs and reduce its dependence on NVIDIA (a company that apparently brings out Mark Zuckerberg's "adult language" side). If all goes well, Meta hopes to use it for training by 2026. Meta has reportedly kicked off a small-scale deployme...

Eero Pro 7 review: Paying to be sold a subscription

Many years ago, I reviewed the Eero Pro 6E, which was a delightfully easy device to get along with. The hardware was powerful, unobtrusive and fit into my home pretty well, to the point where I had no complaints about living with it. But all of the good was undone by Eero’s constant arm-twisting to get you to pay for its monthly subscription. With an app that exists as little more than an advertisement and with so many basic features paywalled, I couldn’t in all good conscience recommend it. Tha...

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 launch is a trash fire that takes PC gamers for granted

For the first time in its history of making gaming GPUs, Nvidia hasn’t just dropped the ball, but embarrassingly fumbled it, watched it roll into a drain, and then trodden on a rake for an encore. If there’s one word you could use to describe Nvidia’s approach to gaming GPUs over the last 25 years, it’s “relentless,” but in 2025 you could replace that with “complacent.” Until this year, Nvidia rarely rested on its laurels, and even when it made mistakes (I’m looking at you, GeForce FX and Fermi)...
