Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti is right around the corner, and we’ve all been bracing ourselves for the big reveal. It’s not just about where it’ll place among some of the best graphics cards — oh, if only that were the only concern. In the midst of a GPU shortage, most gamers have been worried about the potential recommended list price (MSRP) of these new GPUs. Well, good news — it might not be as bad as we all thought it’d be.

Just recently, a leak from Board Channels told us that the RTX 5060 Ti would share the same price as its predecessors. For a bit of clarification: We expect the RTX 5060 Ti to launch in two versions, one with 16GB VRAM and one with 8GB. Previous leaks indicated that the 16GB version would cost $499 — the same as the last gen — followed by $399 for the 5060 Ti 8GB.

I almost convinced myself that this was kind of good news; after all, we could be dealing with a price increase. However, as shared by IT Home, we might actually get something even better: A price cut.

IT Home reports that Nvidia has sent the official MSRP to its add-in card (AIC) partners, and it’s better than expected. The prices are said to be set to $379 for the 8GB card and $429 for the 16GB card, marking a significant price cut for the 16GB version and a $20 discount for the 8GB variant.

There’s been no mention of the RTX 5060, which is also said to be revealed alongside the other GPUs on April 15. If the RTX 5060 Ti starts at $379, we might see the RTX 5060 at around $300 to $320, but we’ll have to wait for the official reveal. Until Nvidia itself announces these GPUs, everything is pure speculation.

The memory crunch is now disrupting MacBook Air supplies

For months, Apple seemed better protected from the memory crisis than most laptop makers. It had long-term supplier agreements, enormous purchasing power, and enough margin to absorb rising component costs. The situation has now caught up with its most popular laptop.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, MacBook Air availability has tightened considerably across Apple’s retail network. Several configurations are showing delivery estimates stretching into late August, while some customized models may not arrive until September.

OpenAI is investigating more incidents of AI agents going rogue days after hack

It appears that the "AI agents going rogue" tale has more to it than what AI giants have revealed publicly so far. Merely days after OpenAI announced that its AI agents went rogue and hacked Hugging Face, Anthropic dropped a similar bombshell. Soon, it was discovered that not just one, but multiple services were compromised. Well, it seems there are even more layers to it.

Reuters reports that OpenAI has found more incidents of AI agents escaping their software containment environment during research. Citing sources with knowledge of the incident, the outlet notes that the AI agents didn't go beyond OpenAI's software environment and affect any external service.

AI is finding Apple security flaws faster than Apple can sort through them
Apple has limited how many bug reports researchers can keep open as AI tools produce both genuine Mac vulnerabilities and a flood of questionable submissions

Apple has capped the number of security reports researchers can keep open at once after AI bug hunting put its review process under pressure, according to the Financial Times.

Some submissions describe hallucinated or purely theoretical risks. Others uncover vulnerabilities serious enough to require patches. Bynario told the FT that it found more than 50 possible macOS flaws in three weeks, including a privilege-escalation chain that could give an attacker full control of a Mac.
