Well, it turns out that its developments may have spooked Nvidia a bit, as Team Green has decided to push the release of its own RTX 5070 back a month.

Elon Musk’s X has agreed to pay President Donald Trump “about $10 million” to settle his lawsuit against Twitter, reports The Wall Street Journal. The settlement would come on top of an estimated $250 million that Musk, who now seemingly has broad authority over government agencies as the head of DOGE, put toward helping Trump get elected last year.Trump sued Twitter, Facebook, and Google over his account suspensions following the January 6th, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, and a judge dismissed this lawsuit in 2022, rejecting arguments that the company was a state actor or that Section 230 is unconstitutional. While Trump’s case against Google is still pending, Meta decided to settle with Trump for $25 million late last month. Before that, ABC News agreed to settle Trump’s defamation lawsuit for $15 million. And last month, the Journal reported Paramount Global was considering caving on Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit over the editing of a Kamala Harris 60 Minutes interview.

A good quality monitor can really make a huge difference when it comes to the gaming experience. Not only can you get excellent visuals thanks to enhanced colors and black levels, but the performance numbers can also help with your gameplay as well.

I'm not much of an AI enthusiast, but I will admit that AI image editing has saved me a ton of time. I personally get a lot of leverage out of background removal tools, which always do a far better job than me messing around with the magic wand tool in GIMP.
