VisionTek Radeon X800Pro Review

By Ian Bell Published August 30, 2011

Quote from the review at HardOCP:

“There is no question about it; VisionTek is selling a solid gaming card with a great amount of enthusiast potential. The MSRP is $399 USD. The MSRP of the GeForce 6800 Ultra is $499. The cards stack up to be gaming equals when you view the big picture. You can do the math on the pricing levels. Also you will want to consider that VisionTek is a USA-based company that has toll-free phone support during normal business hours, and they back their cards with a lifetime warranty that we have seen them stand behind.

We have been very strong supporters of buying ATI brand boxed video cards, but now that we have seen VisionTek weather a choppy business climate over the last year and come out swinging, they are once again turning our heads. If warranty and support are an issue for you when you buy a video card, the VisionTek X800Pro is looking to possibly become the de facto standard for ATI cards in the USA.”

Arc browser is shutting down in December. Long live, ya trailblazer!

The browser that revolutionizes tab management is finally riding into the sunset.

Arc browser is shutting down on December 22, following a long spell of maintenance-only work as the company behind it moves forward with its successor, Dia. Earlier today, The Browser Company announced that the beloved web browser will ride into the sunset in two months, but will continue development of the Dia browser.

"That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community," says the company.

1Password wants AI agents to handle logins without ever taking a peek at your passwords

1Password is expanding its secure login system to Muse, Claude Duet, Dots, ChatGPT Work, and more.

The next chapter of AI is knocking on our doors, as AI agents like Meta Muse, OpenAI Dots, Gemini Spark, among others, are becoming mainstream, and they are genuinely quite useful for a lot of things, ranging from being your personal assistant all the way to helping you manage a small business. However, many are still quite hesitant about giving these agents access to your accounts and their sensitive credentials.

1Password thinks it has a fix for that trust problem. Its new 1Password for Agents platform lets AI agents sign in to your accounts without ever seeing or storing the passwords, sensitive information, or other credentials they need.

AI chatbots are falling prey to manipulative prompts that could help stalkers spy on victims

Confident answers, dangerous gaps: why survivors need humans first.

Chatbots have one talent I can't stop noticing: they sound sure, even when they're wrong. Usually, that's merely annoying. When someone's safety is on the line, it's dangerous.

A new NYU Tandon study tested four AI chatbots on real questions about being stalked or controlled through devices, and experts rated 86% of replies inaccurate, incomplete, or unsafe (via NYU Tandon).
