How an electrical engineer celebrates Christmas

In the spirit of the season, this electrical engineer has decided to crush his neighbors’ spirits and their puny Santa stand-ups! It is the Conan the Barbarian of house lighting displays. He totally Griswolded his house.


How the Star Wars Christmas special should have been

Who can forget the original Star Wars Holiday Special? It was a time of cheer, when our favorite members of the Star Wars universe came together and shattered our childhood illusions by presenting an epically bad look at the universe we had all sunk our dreams into.

AMD’s next-gen CPUs are much closer than we thought
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D held between fingertips.

We already knew that AMD would launch its Zen 5 CPUs this year, but recent motherboard updates hint that a release is imminent. Both MSI and Asus have released updates for their 600-series motherboards that explicitly add support for "next-generation AMD Ryzen processors," setting the stage for AMD's next-gen CPUs.

This saga started a few days ago when hardware leaker 9550pro spotted an MSI BIOS update, which they shared on X (formerly Twitter). Since then, Asus has followed suit with BIOS updates of its own featuring a new AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture (AGESA) -- the firmware responsible for starting the CPU -- that brings support for next-gen CPUs (spotted by VideoCardz).
