PS5 Pro makes the PC more relevant than ever

THE PS5 PRO has arrived. It's far, far more powerful than the plain old PS5, but it's also a lot more expensive at $700. Does the PS5 Pro make gaming PCs look like good value again? Or are GPU prices still so high, you'd have to be very serious about PC gaming to overlook Sony's latest console?

Silicon Valley's Influence Game - From crypto to A.I., tech titans are pouring money into super PACS to savage their political opponents.
The New Yorker

Silicon Valley's Influence Game - From crypto to A.I., tech titans are pouring money into super PACS to savage their political opponents.

One morning in February, Katie Porter was sitting in bed, futzing around on her computer, when she learned that she was the target of a vast techno-political conspiracy. For the past five years, Porter had served in the House of Representatives on behalf of Orange County, California. She’d become famous—at least, C-span and MSNBC famous—for her eviscerations of business tycoons, often aided by a whiteboard that she used to make camera- friendly presentations about corporate greed. Now she was in a highly competitive race to replace the California senator Dianne Feinstein, who had died a few months earlier. The primary was in three weeks.

The K-Pop King - Chairman Bang is bringing his formula for creating idols to the U.S.

Scooter Braun was in a tailspin. It was February, 2021, and the music manager, who had made his name launching the careers of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, was nearing forty and facing a brutal divorce. An equally nasty battle with Taylor Swift, over his ownership of her song catalogue, had sullied his public image. Rumors circulated that the future of Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings, was in doubt. Amid this tumult, he was surprised to receive an invitation to speak with someone who had long fascinated him: the South Korean producer Bang Si-hyuk—known to admirers as Hitman Bang.

A WOUNDED INTEL BATTLES FOR SURVIVAL IN THE AI ERA

HENRY V had Agincourt. Gen. Robert E. Lee had Gettysburg. And Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has Chandler. That would be Chandler, Ariz., outside Phoenix, where Intel is investing nearly $30 billion to build two state-of-the-art semiconductor plants, or fabs, that will be the first to use the company's newest chipmaking process. It's here, in Chandler, where Gelsinger's fate-and likely that of the company he leads will be decided.
