Why you should buy the AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX

For those unaware, the RX 7900XTX is AMD’s flagship GPU, and it’s built from the ground up to deliver the kind of performance one should expect from an unbeatable vessel. With base clock numbers hovering around 2,300MHz and max boost coming in at 2,500MHz, the 7900XTX can handle everything from graphically-rich cutscenes to intense multi-NPC battles. It also doesn’t hurt that the GPU uses AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture, allowing for greater performance per watt than previous RDNA gens. 

Whether you’re running a 1080p display or a state-of-the-art 8K screen, the 7900XTX has got you covered. Resolution and refresh rate are capped at 8K/165Hz (when using compatible wiring and hardware), which is some seriously big pixel action and chart-topping motion clarity. Plus, the onboard AMD Radiance Display Engine promises up to 12-bit HDR, full REC2020 coverage, and up to 68 billion colors.

We’re also glad to see how much care went into the acoustics and cooling of the 7900XTX. The idea is to produce as little heat as possible and quiet operation, which this GPU absolutely nails!

It’s hard to say just how long this promotion is going to last, so if you’ve been waiting to upgrade a core peripheral of your gaming PC for some time, you should act fast before the savings disappear: Order your very own AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX for $870 while this promo lasts. We also have a full list of Prime Day GPU deals for you to peruse, and a whole list of other great Prime Day deals!

AI companies may be gobbling up old books, and I really hope they aren’t destroying them
Booksellers are seeing mysterious bulk orders for old books, and some suspect AI companies
Book, Publication, Text

Secondhand booksellers have noticed a curious pattern over the past few months. Large orders are coming in for old books that often share no obvious subject, author, or genre, leaving sellers wondering who wants them and why.

According to The Guardian, booksellers in the U.K. and Ireland have received bulk orders covering everything from agricultural texts to racing biographies. Some buyers reportedly use opaque aliases, send orders to the same freight warehouses, and pay full price without negotiating bulk discounts. Similar activity has also surfaced in the U.S., Australia, and Europe.

Claude is getting ambitious with watermarking, and I can smell the problems from a mile away
Claude’s text watermark could flag AI involvement even when it only helped with translation or editing
Claude website open on laptop

Anthropic wants to make AI-generated text easier to identify, and on paper, I have very little reason to complain. The company is experimenting with an invisible watermark that can be baked directly into text generated by Claude.

It sounds like a sensible idea. AI-generated text is everywhere, and knowing where something came from could certainly help. Moreover, Anthropic isn't simply hiding a marker somewhere inside a document. Its approach changes how Claude selects words to create a statistical pattern that can later be detected.

I switched from Windows to Mac after 25 years, and it’s the trackpad that converted me.
Well, that rhymes.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

I’ve been using Windows laptops for almost 25 years. In that time, I never once seriously thought of buying a MacBook. In fact, I can honestly say I had never used one at all until I bought my MacBook Air M5 six months ago. Never borrowed one for a weekend, spent an afternoon at an Apple Store, or even played with one at a friend's house. Macs, to me, were just expensive computers for those who edited videos, made logos, or liked drinking expensive coffee.

My change came completely by accident.
