I accompanied the launch of the Radeon RX 7800XT and RX 7700XT in detail with four cards, but today we have a single test of the Sapphire RX 7700XT Pure 12GB. Compared to the cheaper RX 7700XT Pulse 12GB, this card has a bigger cooler and also a higher power limit. But the real difference lies in the color choice, because the Pure, in nice [...]
Normally I’m immune to all the phishing stuff that reaches you by mail every day. But how would you react if you made a booking via Booking.com, it was also confirmed and a week later via the app and also on the website in the communication there is an obvious phishing attempt, but you recognize it as such only at second glance? Once again [...]
A pre-production model of the new iPhone 15 was subjected to the Geekbench 6.2 benchmark earlier this week. The device ran iOS 17.0 and had the Logic Board name “D83AP”. The A17 Pro chipset, which is built into the iPhone 16.1, is the industry’s first “3nm” chip. Apple has set high goals for this chip, promising [...]

Welcome to the weekend! And as always, the worst is (almost) never over. That’s exactly where we start: The first picture shows why the screwdriver is not called a puller. If you turn, there is three-phase current, if you pull: nothing more.
AMD has significantly improved the ray tracing performance of its Radeon graphics cards on Linux. The new drivers, which are based on the open-source Mesa RADV Vulkan, use “monolithic pipelining” to boost performance. This means that ray tracing calculations are now performed in a single step, instead of multiple steps. This [...]
It’s Friday again, the graphics card to be tested is still sweating in the lab and I’ll serve you a different kind of breakfast cake instead. Maybe I’ll still manage to write the article today, otherwise it will be on Monday. I can but already spoil it: it is the pure innocence in white! So it’s the cat-haired Alpina white [...]
AMD could launch a new Radeon RX 7600 XT series graphics card with more memory. The EEC filing suggests that AMD partners are already developing a new Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card, which could be available in 10 GB and 12 GB variants, above the already launched RX 7600. The original RX 7600 without XT comes with 8 GB of memory, but the new [...]
The world of power banks is truly an adventure in its own right. When you look at the shelves in electronics stores and all the online offers, one might think that they are all gallantly growing in competition with each other. They come in all sizes, colors, and shapes, as if they were part of a power bank fashion show. But there’s a catch [...]
The last part dealt with the hardware in detail, today it’s about the setup and control via app from the manufacturer. I can already provide the first values from my transitional setup. Of course, I will also include some comments on the user experience so far. But let’s start at the beginning. If you haven’t read it yet, here is [...]

Starfield mod makes textures sharper when using upscalers Well-known modder doodlum has released a new mod for Starfield that makes the game look sharper. The mod, called Upscaling Fix, fixes a problem with the default implementation of upscaling in Starfield. The problem is that the default implementation does not properly set the negative mipmap [...]
Today’s article unfortunately shows once again how wide the gap is between manufacturer claims, marketing, paid influencer culture, support, and reality. In such cases (when a long-standing member of the community contacts me and, exasperated, offers all documents and correspondences to warn against certain approaches in support) I [...]
When the manufacturer AKKO Gear approached me and offered me the latest movement in ISO-DE layout, I was skeptical at first. A Chinese Glorious GMMK Pro, right? After taking a closer look at the specs, I agreed to the test after all. What the 5075B can do, you can read in the test! In the past, we didn’t always have good experiences when a [...]
