Likely in response to the very popular #IntelARC #B580 video cards being priced at $250, #Nvidia has announced the first four #RTX5000 cards, including the #RTX5070 priced at $550. Nvidia even claims that it’s as powerful as the previous #RTX4090. Highly unlikely. #CES2025 #tech www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/…

I don’t really care if #Honda is involved. I don’t want a #Sony #Playstation on wheels. Especially not for $90k for a “base” model. #WeirdCES #CES2025 #tech #cars www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/…

The so-called #CyberDeck, inspired by cyberpunk culture, has become quite popular in recent years, facilitated by all manner of DIY computer components available for cheap. The upcoming Mecha Comet is one such device, and I think I’m in love! #tech #hardware #linux #opensource liliputing.com/mecha-com…

#Dell has announced that they are dropping the #XPS, #Latitude, #Inspiron, and Precision product names and will be simplifying to Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max for the consumer, professional, and workstation markets, respectively. #tech #marketing #news arstechnica.com/gadgets/2…

Things have been a tad muted so far, so let’s take a look at something absurd: The Acer Nitro Blaze 11, an 11" gaming handheld starting at $1100 🧐 I wonder how long it will take for them to go on fire sale? #WeirdCES #CES2025 #tech #videogames www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/…

Well, this is good news. I believe my next graphics card will be an Intel ARC B-series. The B580 seems perfect for me, especially at $250… and that’s not a sale price. #tech #intel #videogames #hardware www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/…

We don’t yet have #StarTrek style automatic doors for humans yet, but your dogs get them… AND RGB… starting at $500. Since it uses a Bluetooth dog tag, do you need to recharge your dog? #WeirdCES #CES2025 #tech #pets www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/…

IT’S A DOOR HANDLE FOR $700!! I don’t care what it can do!! #WeirdCES #CES2025 #tech #capitalism www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/…

Continuing the trend of #Capitalism bilking every vulnerable segment of society, Elvie’s new $800 automatic baby bassinet and baby bouncer is only supposed to last six months. Wow. #WeirdCES #CES2025 #tech www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/…

It’s #CES time and that means one thing: bring on the weird. A company named “Aiper” has announced their $400 “IrriSense Smart Irrigation Sprinker” and I don’t care how smart it is as I will not spend $400 to water the lawn I don’t have. #WeirdCES #CES2025 #Xeriscape www.theverge.com/2025/1/5/…
