Disrupting the DRAM roadmap with capacitor-less IGZO-DRAM technology

A novel DRAM memory cell with two IGZO-based transistors The bit cell of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), the main memory within traditional compute architectures, is conceptually very simple. It consists of one capacitor (1C) and one silicon (Si)-based transistor (1T). While the capacitor’s role is to store a charge, the transistor is used to access the capacitor, either to read how much charge is stored or to store a new charge. Over the years, bit cell density scaling allowed the indust

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak reveals just how chunky that camera bump may be

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leak claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s camera bump measures 4.5mm, a little over 2mm more than the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Can a Despised Autocrat Consolidate Power?

Yesterday I wrote about Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary, and made some unflattering observations about him. So it might be worth mentioning a new incident, reported by Politico. Apparently Bessent confronted Bill Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency — a piece of work himself — at a fancy dinner, accusing Pulte of bad-mouthing him to the president: “Why the fuck are you talking to the president about me? Fuck you,” Bessent told Pulte. “I’m gonna punch you in your fucking face.
