You can now win a one-of-a-kind RTX 5090, but you need to be quick

Star Wars-themed RTX 5090.
Nvidia

Although May 4 is behind us, Nvidia is still celebrating Star Wars Day with a giveaway of its best graphics card — the RTX 5090. The card, available in two unique shrouds — one for Star Wars and one for Star Trek — is up for grabs, but time is running out to score this expensive, one-of-a-kind GPU.

“May the Fourth be with you” is a slogan that every Star Wars fan hears at least once a day. A play on the iconic “May the Force be with you,” it’s used to mark May 4th, officially recognized as Star Wars day. This year, Nvidia jumped on the celebration bandwagon, with an interesting twist: Instead of focusing on Star Wars, Nvidia decided to make fans choose between two favorites.

The company prepared two versions of the RTX 5090, and each is up for grabs through a giveaway. Due to the design of the Founders Edition of Nvidia’s RTX 50-series, there’s not much space on the shroud to really celebrate either franchise, but both cards look fantastic regardless. One sports the timeless X-Wing from Star Wars, and the other one the Enterprise NCC-1701 from Star Trek.

The ultimate #MayThe4thBeWithYou showdown

What side of the galaxy are you choosing?

Tell us why you’d choose Star Wars OR Star Trek & use #RTXON to enter to WIN pic.twitter.com/agXUpbV3ym

All you need to do to win is to reply to one of Nvidia’s social media posts and explain why you’d choose Star Wars or Star Trek, then add #RTXON. Nvidia values the card at $2,750, but in reality, it’s most likely worth a lot more.

Various terms and conditions apply, but the most important thing is that this contest is not available everywhere. If you live in the U.S., you can’t win the GPU if you’re from the state of New York or Florida, or from Puerto Rico. Many other countries have also been excluded. Additionally, you need to be at least 18 to participate.

The giveaway ends on May 6 at 5 PM PT, so time is running short. The odds may not be in your favor, with thousands of participants trying their luck, but you might as well give it a shot — you never know. I threw my hat in the ring and I’m hoping for the best.

What happens when AI detectors fail? Researchers say we must be trained to spot fake AI faces
Researchers say spotting AI faces may soon depend more on people than software
Zuckerberg Deepfake

Artificial intelligence has become remarkably good at creating fake human faces. So good, in fact, that the old tricks people relied on - counting fingers, spotting warped earrings, or looking for distorted backgrounds - are quickly becoming obsolete. According to a new study highlighted by the BBC, the next line of defence may not be a better AI detector at all. It might simply be a better-trained human.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, working alongside Australia's National University, found that people can dramatically improve their ability to distinguish AI-generated faces from real ones after a relatively short period of structured training. Instead of hunting for obvious visual glitches, participants were taught to recognise subtle patterns that modern image generators still struggle to replicate consistently.

Google’s new Magic Pointer Play Store listing reveals a Gemini shortcut built for Googlebooks
The unannounced app turns the cursor into a contextual AI tool for search, image creation, and shopping
Plant, Text, Business Card

Google has quietly published a new Play Store listing for Magic Pointer, an unannounced app built for Googlebooks. Updated on July 10, the app turns the cursor into a Gemini shortcut that can act on whatever a user selects on screen.

Magic Pointer can send an image to Lens, generate a related image, or surface a shopping action without forcing users to open a separate chatbot. Regular Android devices currently show as incompatible, so the listing offers an early preview rather than a broad release.

You can stop using AI, but this new report says you probably can’t escape it
A UK survey found that most people feel AI exposure is unavoidable, raising harder questions about consent, privacy, and whether opting out is still realistic

More people are trying to use less AI, but avoiding it altogether may already be impossible.

A survey of 2,055 UK adults found that 42% deliberately limit how much AI they use. Another 70% said avoiding AI exposure would be difficult or impossible, even when they actively wanted less of it.
