China's First WHQL Gaming GPU Hits Shelves - tech
(hx) 12:42 AM CEST - May,21 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Lisuan Tech has launched its 7G100 gaming GPU in China, marking the country's first Microsoft WHQL-certified graphics card for gamers.

Priced around $500 (similar to an RTX 5060 Ti), the 6nm card with 12GB GDDR6 delivers real-world performance closer to the older RTX 3060 in titles like Cyberpunk 2077.

It supports DirectX 12 and Vulkan, works with over 100 games thanks to certified drivers, but lacks hardware ray tracing and shows some stuttering.

Only 1,000 units are available starting May 20-22, 2026, as part of China's push for domestic tech independence.

Windows users with +16GB of RAM performance boost - tech
(hx) 09:19 PM CEST - May,20 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
Windows users with 16GB of RAM or more can boost performance by disabling a built-in memory compression feature.

This tweak uses a simple PowerShell command: Disable-MMAgent -MemoryCompression (run as admin, then restart).

On high-RAM systems, Windows rarely needs to compress memory pages, so the background CPU work for compressing and decompressing can cause minor overhead and stutters—especially in games. Disabling it frees up those cycles for smoother gameplay and responsiveness.

Keep it enabled if you have less than 16GB RAM, as it prevents heavy use of slow disk paging. Results vary, so test it and re-enable with Enable-MMAgent -MemoryCompression if needed. This popular gaming optimization has circulated for years on forums and YouTube.

This is a longstanding community tweak with no single origin, but it's widely discussed since at least 2015–2017 on SuperUser, Reddit, Steam guides, and Microsoft forums.

ASUS Fake Copper Scandal Hits Premium ROG Board - tech
(hx) 05:42 PM CEST - May,20 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
ASUS is facing criticism for using copper-colored aluminum heatsinks on its new ROG Crosshair 2006 anniversary motherboard instead of real copper.

The board aims to recreate the retro look of the 2006 original with its flashy orange-toned cooling fins, but tech site FanlessTech revealed they're just anodized aluminum.

Real copper offers better heat transfer, making this a letdown for a high-end AMD X870E board that carries a premium price tag.

As copper prices rise, this cost-cutting move may signal a wider industry shift away from the material.

CEMU Wii U Emulator Linux Builds Hit by Pro-Russian Malware - tech
(hx) 10:08 PM CEST - May,13 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
CEMU, a popular Wii U emulator, suffered a major security breach between May 6 and 12, 2026. A pro-Russian threat actor used a compromised GitHub collaborator account to replace the Linux AppImage and Ubuntu ZIP files with malware. The malicious software steals credentials like GitHub tokens, SSH keys, and cloud provider logins. It spares Russian users but has a 1-in-6 chance of playing a loud siren and running "rm -rf /" on systems set to Israel locale/timezone. Windows, Mac, and Flatpak users are safe. Affected Linux users should check SHA256 hashes, reset passwords, block the C2 IP, and consider a full OS reinstall for safety.

BitUnlocker Downgrade Attack Bypasses TPM-Only Windows 11 BitLocker in Under 5 Minutes - tech
(hx) 10:04 PM CEST - May,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
A new tool called BitUnlocker lets attackers with physical access bypass BitLocker encryption on fully patched Windows 11 devices in under 5 minutes. It exploits a downgrade attack using an old, still-trusted boot manager certificate (CVE-2025-48804), loading a modified recovery environment that decrypts the drive without alerts. The attack works on systems using TPM-only BitLocker but is blocked by TPM + PIN setups or newer certificate migrations. Users should enable a startup PIN and apply Microsoft's certificate migration update for protection.

My advice: if you need full-disk encryption, just use VeraCrypt instead. Seriously.

Apple Rolls Out iOS 26.5 with Pride Wallpaper, Secure RCS - tech
(hx) 11:13 PM CEST - May,11 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Apple has released iOS 26.5 today, a smaller update focused on new features and improvements. It adds a customizable Pride Luminance 2026 wallpaper with rainbow colors and many variations. The update brings end-to-end encryption for RCS messages with Android devices (in beta) for better privacy. Apple Maps now shows ads outside Europe, plus suggested places based on your searches. It also includes bug fixes, performance tweaks, and security updates.

In related news, Apple and Google have jointly announced the rollout of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messaging between Apple and Android devices. When RCS messages are end-to-end encrypted, they can't be intercepted and read while in transit between devices, improving privacy and security. Encryption will be on by default and will be automatically enabled over time for new and existing RCS conversations. On both platforms, a small lock icon will confirm when an RCS chat is encrypted. The feature requires iOS 26.5 or, on Android, the latest version of the Google Messages app. It also requires carrier support. The two companies still describe the feature as in "beta". E2EE was officially added to the RCS standard a little over a year ago, and Apple pledged to support it at that time,

Google's New Anti-Fraud Tool Locks Out Privacy-Focused Android Users - tech
(hx) 06:43 PM CEST - May,10 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
Google has a new system called Cloud Fraud Defense, which is the next version of reCAPTCHA, and has started rolling out to users

When the system detects risky web activity, it no longer shows the old picture puzzles where you pick out buses or traffic lights. Instead, it displays a QR code that you scan with your Android phone, but to pass the test your phone must have Google Play Services installed and running.

This change has been active since October 2025 based on support pages and old web records, and it blocks users of privacy-focused Android phones such as GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and /e/OS because these phones remove Google services on purpose to provide stronger privacy and security.

The result is that millions of websites now treat these privacy phones as risky, so users must either add Google Play Services or stay locked out.

This is similar to Google’s 2023 Web Environment Integrity idea that wanted websites to check if devices were trustworthy through Google software.

That plan received heavy criticism from developers and privacy groups and was dropped, but the new QR code method does something very similar in a simpler way.

Website owners who use this system are now blocking people who chose to remove Google from their phones for better privacy.
Chrome's Secret 4GB AI Download? Easy Fix Found - tech
(hx) 02:53 PM CEST - May,10 2026 - Post a comment
Google Chrome has been quietly downloading a 4GB Gemini Nano AI model to users' PCs without asking, using up storage and bandwidth. Many people only noticed the large hidden file after it appeared on their drives.

A simple Windows 11 registry edit now blocks the download and removes the model by setting “GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings” to 1 under the Chrome policies key. Windows Home users can instead turn off “On-device AI” in Chrome settings.
Registry Settings to the rescue

To stop these AI model downloads for Edge and Chrome, you need to find the “GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings” variable and switch it from “Allowed (0)” to “Disallowed (1)”. This will prevent the model from downloading and remove any previously downloaded models.
How to implement the edit for Chrome and Edge

Below is how to complete this edit on Edge

    Open Registry Editor (REGEDIT.msc)
    Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Then: SOFTWARE
    Then: Policies
    Then: Microsoft
    Then: Edge
    Set the value of “GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings” to 1

For Google Chrome, the process is similar

    Open Registry Editor (REGEDIT.msc)
    Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Then: SOFTWARE
    Then: Policies
    Then: Google
    Then: Chrome
    Set the value of “GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings” to 1

What about Windows 11 Home users?

In Google Chrome’s settings, users can disable “On-device AI”. Inside Chrome, navigate to settings, then System, and then toggle “On-device AI” to off. Doing so will prevent AI-based features that rely on Google’s models from working on Chrome, though it will free up storage space on your device.

If you choose to re-enable this setting, you will allow Google’s AI model to be downloaded and used. The time it takes to download will depend on your internet speed and the model’s size at that time.
