Strange enough, Gurman’s Power On newsletter did not specify a low-cost iPad 10 launch, and since we have been hearing quite a lot about it, we figured that it would be included in the reporter’s list....

‘Nope’ Is Consumers Reply To The $1199 US NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Graphics Card, Lower Stock Than 4090 & Still Stocked Up At Retailers In our own review, we found the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 to be an impressive card in terms of gen-over-gen performance and power efficiency, however, the price that NVIDIA is asking for is simply absurd. The 4080 launched at $1199 US, making it the single largest price bump we have ever seen on an ‘80’ class GeForce graphics card....

NVIDIA 16-Pin “12VHPWR” Connector Issues Maybe Occurring Due To User-Error, Highlights JonnyGuru JonnyGuru explains that users may not be fully inserting the 16-pin “12VHPWR” connector cable into the graphics card, which would cause issues with the connection itself, with wires melting and the connectors overheating.

Not much is known about the Blackwell GPU series at this point (obviously) since it is nothing more than a string of text at this point. All we know is that this series is likely going to be slotted in after the Hopper GPUs (which are going to be released in parallel with Lovelace GPUs). It is also possible that this nomenclature does not refer to consumer GPUs but refers to the Hopper successor....

NVIDIA & AIBs Team Up To Investigate and Resolve GeForce RTX 4090’s 16-Pin Adapter & Connector Issues A few days ago, we reported the first few cases of the new 16-pin connectors featured on NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards burning up and melting.

An Unsuspecting Buyer Got Their Hands on Pixel 7 Pro Only for Google to Remotely Wipe the Device Based on a story shared by a Twitter user, their friend bought a slightly used Pixel 6 Pro from Facebook Market Place, this happened two months ago, and the surprising thing is that instead of shipping the Pixel 6 Pro, the seller sent an unreleased Pixel 7 Pro instead. At first, the images look a bit out of place, because the device is certainly housed in a case that is not meant for the phone but looking at the codename of the device, one can indeed confirm that it is Pixel 7 Pro running Android 13....
