TL;DR A modder has created a handheld gaming PC with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU. The handheld’s display is 12.5 inches with a 4K resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. It’s capable of running God of War (2016) in 4K resolution at 100FPS. Handheld gaming PCs are getting more powerful all the time.

An experimental “off-the-shelf” vaccine for recurring pancreatic and colorectal cancer is showing great promise so far. Early results show that the vaccine appears to be safe and is potentially prolonging people’s lives. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and elsewhere are developing the vaccine, called ELI-002.

Amazon and Apple best deliver on affordable housing promises, as other tech giants falter

One of the downsides of tech giants creating Silicon Valley was the affordable housing crisis it spurred. That has made it next to impossible for those on typical salaries to rent or buy in the area. Apple was one of a number of tech companies which pledged to help out back in 2019, and so far has delivered more than most … The growth of tech companies within the Bay Area led to dramatically increased demand for housing, alongside price pressure created by the relatively high salaries paid to

The Google Pixel 10 series launch is just a week away, but there’s been no shortage of rumors and leaks. All four phones could benefit from a landmark Tensor G5 chip and integrated magnets for Qi 2 wireless charging. However, it sounds like the base Pixel and Pixel 10 Pro Fold in particular could also bring some interesting features.
