STKP28000400 is a 28TB desktop hard drive from Seagate's popular Expansion family It includes Seagate's Data rescue service should the drive fail to work Despite its massive capacity, it still features the now-obsolete USB-A port Best Buy has listed the Seagate STKP28000400 desktop hard drive as part of its well-known Expansion series, featuring an impressive 28TB capacity. The size of this drive is noteworthy, and though it does support the slightly retrograde USB-A interface, it should be enough for most use cases, ensuring hardware cross-compatibility and high transfer speeds. It is a shame though that there's no plan to have a Type-C connector that wouldn't require a separate power connector. This is available on preorder only at the time of writing.

New Linux leak may have revealed Intel Battlemage GPUs The recent Linux patch had three code numbers If true, this could challenge Nvidia's 5000 series GPUs Intel’s upcoming Arc Battlemage graphics cards have gotten plenty of media attention through rumors, reports, and just recently an official reveal from Intel itself. But a recent Linux leak has revealed several new cards, which could possibly pose a threat to Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series. According to Tomasz Gawroński , a gaming hardware enthusiast on X, the most recent Linux patch may have revealed at least three new Arc Battlemage cards, which could be the anticipated powerful variants. The listing itself shows three code numbers, with the patch notes stating that it’ll “Add 3 new IDs for BMG.” Gawroński interpreted it as Intel adding three new Battlemage IDs in this patch. Though there hasn’t been anything concrete in the leaked information establishing that these cards are higher-end models, if they are it could absolu...

Following $500 billion Project Stargate launch, Meta is also dolling out the dollars Meta's $65 billion is lower than Microsoft's $80 billion commitment AWS is set to spend more than $75 billion while Google has yet to say how much it will spend If you have a few hundred billion dollars burning a hole in your pocket, you’re probably considering spending it on an AI data center or two. US President Donald Trump recently announced OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle would launch a new AI infrastructure venture called Project Stargate , investing $500 billion over four years across the US. OpenAI noted that $100 billion would be made available “immediately.” Elon Musk, no stranger to building AI data centers and perhaps a bit miffed about being left out, claimed that Project Stargate doesn’t actually have the money , stating, “SoftBank has well under $10 billion secured.” While that was unfolding, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made an announcement on Facebook, revealing the company...

The Patriot Transporter 2TB external portable SSD retails for under $90 at Amazon It has read/write speeds of up to 1GB/s, twice that of comparably priced internal SATA SSDs It is still more expensive than 2TB portable hard disk drives but the price gap is at its lowest ever The 2.5-inch USB-C Patriot Transporter 2TB external portable SSD has garnered attention for its competitive pricing as well as read and write speeds of up to 1GB/s. At $87.99 on Amazon US right now, the Transporter is still more expensive than an average 2TB portable hard disk drive , but the price difference has narrowed considerably. In comparison with more expensive internal SATA SSDs, the Transporter SSD has a much higher read and write speeds than popular options like the Crucial MX500 2TB (560 MB/s read, 510 MB/s write), Samsung 870 EVO 2TB (560 MB/s read, 530 MB/s write), and Western Digital Blue 3D NAND 2TB (545 MB/s read, 425 MB/s write). I couldn't fault the Patriot Transporter....

Travel site Daytrip has fallen victim to a data leak The leak reportedly originated through a third party vendor Up to 470,000 customers could be at risk Travel company Daytrip has had 470,000 user records and 762,000 travel orders compromised online. The dataset, discovered by Cybernews researchers , was stored on an ‘unsecured MongoDB database managed by Daytrip’s subcontractor’ - the data included personally identifiable information (PII). The leaked information could put users at risk, especially concerning identity theft and social engineering attacks, so anyone who’s used the service should be vigilant with their information. The Daytrip database has since been closed, and the company claims it has since discontinued its work with the vendor, here’s what we know so far. Real world risk As an online ride-hailing service which operates in 130 countries across the globe, Daytrip unsurprisingly held the address information of many customers, which was discovered in the d...

Netflix adds Download Season to iPhone and iPad apps The update comes after Android users got it It follows a significant price increase During the dark days, the ones where my home broadband network went offline , we struggled to stream Netflix content on our iPads and iPhones. If only we'd had this recent update: the ability to download entire seasons. Granted, that might not have worked so well with the almost useless 5G connection on my iPhone, but if I'd already had the ability to download entire seasons of Squid Game and Man on the Inside , we might've already had all those shows resident on our iPhones and iPads. In that case, who needs a connection? The ability to download an entire series on one of the best streaming services is not entirely new. Android users have had it for a while. Netflix on my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra had this ability from the moment I installed the streaming service. How to get it (Image credit: Future) The new dow...

Wine 10 is now out with more than 6,000 updates on its release log The emulator - which turns 32 this year - allows Linux/Unix users to run Windows software Open source project doesn't require Windows unlike virtual machine solutions If you want to run Windows software on a Linux OS, you'll need to install the Wine compatibility layer. Wine, a recursive acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator," provides a runtime environment for running Windows applications natively on Linux without virtualization. It can also be configured as the default installer for Windows software, simplifying the setup process. First released on July 4, 1993, Wine was created by Bob Amstadt (the project’s original lead) and Eric Youngdale as an open source implementation of the Windows API for Unix-based systems. Over the past 32 years, it has evolved into a powerful tool for bridging the gap between Windows and Linux environments and after a year of development, the developers behind it...
