We all knew AMD was set to launch the Radeon RX 9070 Series at the end of the month, but surprise, surprise—some retailers jumped the gun. Over in Eastern Europe, one lucky (or opportunistic) buyer managed to get their hands on the RX 9070 XT early, and naturally, they wasted no time unboxing it for the internet.
Back in early 2022, I finally caved and got myself the Huawei WiFi 6 AX3 Quad-Core, not for me—oh no—but for my fur overlord who demands faster internet speeds for her important business: watching YouTube birds in 4K, crashing Zoom meetings, and chasing the cursor on my screen like it owes her money.
Ah, 2013 —a time when smartphones were getting smarter, the Harlem Shake was taking over the internet, and I made a questionable life decision: signing up for P1 Wimax as my internet provider. If you're not familiar with P1 Wimax, congratulations—you dodged a bullet. For the rest of us who fell for their grand promises, we have war stories to share.
Reflecting on my journey with high-performance computing, I fondly recall the robust setup I built in 2013. At its core was the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 processor, a powerhouse of its time. Originally clocked at 2.83 GHz, this CPU was renowned for its overclocking potential, and I couldn't resist pushing its boundaries. By adjusting the front-side bus (FSB) and increasing the Vcore, I achieved a stable overclock at 4.2 GHz. Under load, temperatures reached 80°C, while idling settled around 36°C—figures that were acceptable given the performance gains.
In the world of budget tech, few devices manage to leave a lasting impression, but my Chuwi VI8 Pro was an exception. Back in 2015, when dual-boot tablets were still a novelty, this little device caught my attention for its unbelievable price-to-performance ratio. At just RM 380, it was one of the cheapest Windows and Android tablets on the market. Despite its affordability, it turned out to be one of the most memorable gadgets I've ever owned.
