Shareholder sues NVIDIA and Jensen Huang over disclosures on alleged China spy link

Investor Mark Kistenmacher has filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against NVIDIA and CEO Jensen Huang, alleging the company misled shareholders about Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive suspected of acting as a Chinese intelligence asset. The suit covers investors who bought NVIDIA stock between October 9, when the New York Times first reported ties between NVIDIA and Megaspeed, and November 8, when Huang admitted to an affair and NVIDIA announced an internal investigation. The complaint cites a company spokesperson's earlier statement calling the relationship routine business contact as false, and points to a recent two-day drop of more than $470 billion in NVIDIA's market value as evidence of investor harm.

The Nasdaq fell 0.74% and the S&P 500 dropped 0.38% Tuesday, with Fed officials Lorie Logan and Christopher Waller both signaling support for further rate increases. Oil fell below $90 per barrel amid hopes for a Middle East de-escalation.

Seagate revives hybrid HDD-SSD storage with new Alkemi platform

Unlike Apple's Fusion Drive from 2012, which relied on macOS to manage tiered 128KB data blocks, Alkemi handles data placement directly from the enclosure itself, automatically moving frequently used files to the SSD while the HDD stores larger libraries.

SCSKiller tool targets PC shader compilation stutter

SCSKiller is a utility aimed at reducing shader stuttering in PC games, a visual hiccup caused by the GPU compiling shader effects like shadows and reflections in real time rather than ahead of release, as console developers can. The report distinguishes this from frame-rate drops caused by CPU/GPU bottlenecks, noting that compilation stutters can briefly drop performance to 0fps, especially when entering new areas for the first time.
