Creative launched the Sound Blaster AE-X to its PCIe sound card lineup, following the Audigy FX Pro model that was introduced back in March. While the Audigy FX Pro was aimed at desktop users who are making the shift from onboard audio, the new Sound Blaster AE-X is aiming more towards gamers, audiophiles, and professionals. The sound card is equipped with the ESS ES9039Q2M dual-channel DAC, supporting playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz, a claimed 130dB SNR, and direct DSD256 decoding. The DSD256 (Quad-rate DSD) is an ultra-high-resolution digital audio format mostly used by those working with high-resolution lossless audio formats. Headphone amplification is done by the Creative X-amp discrete architecture, rated for headphones up to 600 ohms. This covers most high-end studio and audiophile headphones that tend to struggle with standard motherboard audio outputs. ASIO 2.3 (Audio Stream Input/Output) support is also included for low-latency recording and monitoring.

NVIDIA reported its Q1 2026 earnings with revenue reaching $81.6 billion, setting a new record. Amid these record-breaking results, the company announced a change in how it reports revenue from its GeForce RTX gaming GPUs. According to NVIDIA CFO Colette Kress, the standalone GeForce RTX GPU gaming revenue is no longer separately listed and is now integrated under the “Edge Computing” segment. This segment “highlights devices for agentic and physical AI, including PCs, game consoles, workstations, AI-RAN base stations, robotics, and automotive.” The last standalone report for gaming revenue was in Q4 2025, where NVIDIA posted $3.7 billion. Now, under the “Edge Computing” category, NVIDIA reported $6.4 billion, an increase of 10% from the previous quarter and 29% from the same period last year, when this segment had a different name.

Pytacie w listach co u mnie i dlaczego mniej piszę. Otóż rozchorowałem się. Gorączka, łóżko, te sprawy. Wiadomo, że mężczyzna przy katarze "umiera", więc takie coś przechodzę źle :/Zostałem dobrze zaopiekowany przez przyjaciół, również przychodnia / lekarz rodzinny w Starym Brusie zrobiła na mnie bardzo pozytywne wrażenie. Pierwszy raz korzystałem, jak tu mieszkam już 3 wiosnę. Wiele badań na miejscu, pobierają też próbki lokalnie i wysyłają kurierem do laboratorium, więc nie muszę jeździć po województwie. Wiejska opieka lekarska się obroniła.Ale ja nie o tym 😉 Pół godziny dzisiaj latały śmigłowce nad lasem, robiły hałas, aż mnie wyciągnęły z łóżka. Latały nisko i nie mogłem chwycić na nagraniu, jeden się pojawił dosłownie na chwilkę.Co to za maszyna? Bo nie rozpoznaję? Nasza aby? NATOska?🤔 (mam 30km do Białorusi i <40km do Ukrainy)#Polesie #wojsko #lotnictwo

Policymakers are legislating blanket bans on social media based on evidence that would be rejected in any other field of public health. Before imposing these draconian measures, they must listen to the experts sounding the alarm on oversimplified conclusions. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/05/science-not-settled-how-weak-evidence-fueling-national-push-ban-social-media-youth
