Why use fans when you can cool your CPU with 8 lbs of copper–

When it comes to PC gaming one of the biggest trials is keeping things cool. You can have all the power in the world packed into your case, but it’s for naught without cooling. More power often means more heat thanks to that big jerk physics, and plenty of builds bottleneck due to temps, rather than capabilities. This is why we see overclockers do wild things like douse their CPUs in liquid nitrogen or use about 8 lbs (nearly 4 kgs) of solid copper.

Copper is an amazingly conductive material, great for cooling, but it’s also hideously expensive. This is why I was in no way prepared to see a honking tower of solid copper sitting casually on top of one enthusiast’s CPU. The awe-inspiring, yet wallet-crushing image was posted to Reddit by That Desktop User and was also shared by Fanl…

Why is Destiny 2’s latest dungeon so hard- In part because the Root of Nightmares raid was so easy-

At a recent roundtable Q&A session with Bungie for Destiny 2’s Season of the Deep, I asked why the bosses in its latest dungeon have so much damn health. And sure, I know what you’re thinking: get good. But it’s not just me. On release, plenty of the player reaction—particularly from those who like to solo Destiny 2’s dungeons—was about how many phases it takes to bring down its two bosses.

The answer surprised me, because it reveals just how much each dungeon is designed as a response to the previous one.

“You know, there’s kind of a story that the dungeon releases tell,” says design lead Brian Frank. “I’m over the moon with how awesome they’ve turned out. You’ve got Grasp of Avarice, which was fun, fast, not as challenging, more lighthearted. Duality was a …

Although I wouldn’t say I solved today’s Wordle, more that I rearranged the only letters I had left into the only word I could think of.

Schitt’s Creek star Catherine O’Hara joins HBO’s The Last of Us in an ‘undisclosed role’-

In what I think qualifies as an unexpected bit of casting, HBO has announced that Catherine O’Hara, known for her work in television and movies including Schitt’s Creek, Beetlejuice, and Home Alone, is joining the cast of HBO’s The Last of Us in an undisclosed role.

HBO has already made a number of new casting announcements for the second season of The Last of Us, most notably that of Kaitlyn Dever, who’s taking on the role of central character Abby. But O’Hara’s casting seems especially noteworthy because, quite frankly, it seems so out of character. 

O’Hara known primarily for her comedic work, beginning in the mid-’70s on Canadian television (most notably SCTV, for which she won an Emmy Award) and running through her turn as the matriarch of the Rose family in Schitt…

State bar associations shout ‘objection your honor!’ to scare AI lawyer away from court-

When it comes to how AI will change our lives the party is very much just getting started. As the tech begins to push into new areas, it’s going to run up against one obstacle repeatedly: Lawyers. In a story that feels a little emblematic of our tool-assisted future, an AI-based system designed to give people live legal advice when contesting traffic tickets was blocked from its first-ever courtroom case after the creator backed-down in the face of legal threats from human lawyers.

Joshua Browder is the creator of DoNotPay (no wonder it pissed off the lawyers) and, as reported by NPR, the first planned use of the AI system was for a case in California on February 22. Browder says that, following legal threats from California lawyers of prosecution and even jail time, he’s n…

Sectoral, thematic funds catching investor fancy

Thematic and sectoral funds have become the flavour of the season, with both fund houses and investors registering an over four-fold increase in monthly inflows over the past six months and drawing more than 55% of the total equity investments in June.

Last month, nine new fund offerings (NFOs) raised as much as Rs 12,974 crore. Monthly inflows into thematic and sectoral funds soared to Rs 22,532 crore in June, from Rs 4,805 crore in January. The growing demand for such funds also reflected in the number of NFOs (22) launched during the period.

“This is an effect of the bull market progressing, wherein investors are now seeking new growth opportunities and decent valuations,” said Anand Vardarajan, chief business officer, Tata Asset Management. He said typica…
