Modders have successfully converted the integrated heat spreader (IHS) of the AMD Threadripper 9995WX into a waterblock, achieving notable temperature reductions.

During testing, the modified system maintained a full-load temperature of just over 50 degrees Celsius, even at a power consumption of over 1,350W.

Saudi Arabia’s Class C data sovereignty rules have been streamlined from a 6-month compliance process to a 2-week workflow by an engineer who automated compliance into cloud infrastructure.

Previously, compliance cycles took 4-8 months, but the engineer’s approach, which involves coding compliance for data residency, access controls, and audit trails, has reduced deployment timelines by up to 90% and achieved significant cost savings.

The resulting workflow provides a reusable blueprint for regulated cloud markets globally, enabling other organizations to benefit from the engineer’s innovative solution.

Microsoft’s original Secure Boot certificates are set to expire in June, which may cause issues with booting new operating systems on affected PCs.

PCs without the updated certificates could experience problems booting new OSes, although the exact timeline for these issues is not specified.

A benchmark of seven leading AI models found that GPT-5 Mini achieved the highest accuracy for high-stakes workflows involving handwritten documents.

Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite offered near-top accuracy at a lower cost and speed, while Azure, AWS, and Claude Sonnet were moderate performers.

Google and Grok 4 trailed behind in terms of accuracy, with even the best models rarely exceeding 95% business-level accuracy.

The choice of model depends on factors such as risk tolerance, volume, and cost, and benchmarking on individual data is necessary due to the limitations of current AI technology.
