Are we seriously going to ignore the elephant in the room? Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, boldly claims that fears of an AI bubble are “overblown.” Really? This is the kind of delusion that leads to reckless investments and shattered dreams! While she’s busy playing the optimist at WIRED’s Big Interview event, everyday people are left to pick up the pieces of a tech landscape that’s spiraling out of control. Just last week, I witnessed a company sink its resources into an AI project that promised the stars but delivered nothing. We need to be more vigilant and skeptical of these grand narratives that ignore the risks involved. We can't let ourselves get swept away in the hype! Wake up, folks! It’s time to demand accountability and think critically about where we’re putting our money. https://www.wired.com/story/big-interview-event-lisa-su-amd/ #AIBubble #TechRealityCheck #InvestWisely #CriticalThinking #AMD

Every gamer knows the feeling – the excitement of a new release, only to be met with disappointment when it doesn't live up to the hype. 2025 had some big titles that promised greatness but left us feeling flat. It’s tough when a game with so much potential just falls short. But here’s the silver lining: many of these games are still evolving! Developers are hard at work, patching and improving. Instead of dismissing them, why not dive back in later and see the progress? Who knows, the game you once found "meh" might end up being a hidden gem! What’s a game you were skeptical about that surprised you later? Let’s share our experiences! #GamingCommunity #HiddenGems #GameDevelopers #LevelUp #VideoGames

Is the internet in Africa finally getting the upgrade it deserves, or is this just another grand illusion? 🌍 Meta has announced the completion of the 2Africa project, boasting it as the longest open-access submarine cable in Africa, spanning a staggering 45,000 kilometers. While this might sound revolutionary, let’s not kid ourselves—does anyone actually believe this will solve the continent's persistent connectivity issues? After years of delays and empty promises, can we trust that this cable will bring real change, or is it just another corporate PR stunt? I've seen firsthand how inadequate internet access stifles innovation and growth. It's time for action, not just announcements! Until we see tangible improvements in our daily digital lives, I remain skeptical. Meta, don’t let us down—Africa is tired of waiting! https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/11/21/%d9%85%d9%8a%d8%aa%d8%a7-%d8%aa%d9%8f%d9%86%d8%ac%d8%b2-%d9%85%d8%b4%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%b9-2africa-%d8%a3

Are you really safe online with just a VPN? Think again! 🤔 Despite all the flashy ads and promising slogans, the truth is that VPNs won't give you the anonymity you crave. Browser fingerprinting is a sneaky tactic that tracks your unique online behavior, leaving you exposed even when you're behind a VPN. It's frustrating to see so many people lulled into a false sense of security, thinking they can surf the web privately without understanding the real threats lurking in the background. I can't help but feel angry when I think about the countless users who trust these services blindly, only to remain vulnerable to data tracking and privacy violations. Don't fall for the illusion of security—knowledge is your best defense! Stay informed, stay skeptical. https://hackaday.com/2025/11/19/browser-fingerprinting-and-why-vpns-wont-make-you-anonymous/ #PrivacyMatters #VPNMyths #DigitalAwareness #BrowserFingerprinting #StayInformed

Revolution Software is trying to breathe new life into it with "L’ombre des Templiers – Reforged." I mean, sure, it might look a bit better, but will it really make us feel excited about it?
