A clearly Korea-sourced Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card has been spotted for sale on an online Chinese marketplace. Korean PC tech fan @Harukaze5719 highlighted the listing and seemed exasperated by its presence. Perhaps the 'OMG' was due to the difficulty in obtaining one of these new Nvidia graphics cards in South Korea. We are pretty sure this Korean product in the China marketplace won't be an isolated case. Earlier in the week we saw comments that some of the chaotic crowd at the PC Studio Akihabara store had visited from China. Moreover, Taiwan's computer stores were similarly targeted by folk who had flown in from China for the RTX 50 release day. Above you can see the headlining Chinese reseller listing, featuring a Zotac-branded GeForce RTX 5090 Solid OC graphics card. A yellow and black sticker on the box highlights the three-year warranty and other details in Korean text. We have no way of knowing how the China marketplace seller got hold of this RTX 5090 – a SKU that isn't available in China, where the RTX 5090D is the halo product. We can only speculate that the seller recently traveled to South Korea (or knows someone who did) for a shopping trip. You might also be interested to know that the Chinese Yuan asking price is equivalent to approximately US$4,175 at the current exchange rate. Nevertheless, this card may have already been sold... Chinese RTX 50 series shoppers interviewed in Taiwan Evidence that Chinese citizens visited Taiwan's computer malls to pick up some freshly launched Nvidia RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards seems much stronger. On Friday, January 31, Taiwan's SET News channel reported from the long queues outside a computer mall in the high-tech country. Some people had waited for days, with beds and chairs in evidence outside. In Taiwan, RTX 5090 retail pricing ranges from approx NT72,000 to NT$90,000 (from approx US$2,200 including tax). However, the buyers from China talked about sellers on the mainland asking for the equivalent of NT$200,000 or more for an RTX 5090 card. Two Chinese visitors were interviewed in the above news clip, starting at 1.03mins. The first one said he arrived the day before and didn't want a cut-down RTX 5090D. The second visitor said he didn't want to pay China scalper prices (double or more), and thought he had a chance to get an RTX 5090 at retail price in Taiwan. The chances of buying an RTX 5090 on the night were pretty low, though. According to a map shared by SET (embedded below), Taipei and surrounding regions only had 20 RTX 5090 cards for the customers queuing up, with 30 more for pre-orders. Central and South-Western cities had even tighter supplies, with just four – yes four – cards available when the doors opened, and 30 available for pre-order. RTX 5080 cards were rather more plentiful, but still far from sufficient.

Path of Exile dev Grinding Gear Games bit off more than it could chew when it promised to maintain Path of Exile just like it had always done, even while it was dealing with the Path of Exile 2 launch. But reality is a killjoy and the studio has been reassessing things, resulting in a PoE1 expansion delay, which hasn't gone down well with the original game's stalwarts. The current plan is to delay PoE 3.26 until after the release of PoE2 0.2.0, but there's no date for it yet. "I'm really sorry for how this went down," said Path of Exile 2 director Jonathan Rogers. "Honestly I should have predicted the fact that taking the PoE team off PoE1 would lead to this outcome." Unsurprisingly, this announcement led to a lot of drama, with some players going so far as to call GGG's promise to support both games a "scam" just because an expansion has been delayed. But the studio is still planning to give PoE1 some love, in the form of a one-month event. GGG says it will feature "some of our whacky ideas that never quite made it off the brainstorm board". This will include some weird changes to Ascendency classes—advanced classes with their own skill trees—it says. "What does Path of Exile 1 look like when the 19 Ascendancy classes you know and are familiar with are all of a sudden replaced by a different 19? What does Path of Exile 1 look like when you get to play a Witch and ascend to become a Harbinger? These are the questions our design team asked each other and in this event will provide you with some of our answers." GGG promises more details about the event soon, and that it's "really looking forward to seeing how the community reacts to some of our more unhinged ideas". Maintaining the original game's update cadence while GGG was also dealing with PoE2's early access issues was always going to be a tall order, but clearly the studio is still very invested in PoE1. And while it's not the same as an expansion, this event sounds like it could be a good time, keeping players busy while they wait for 3.26.

For vloggers, aspiring filmmakers, and other content creators, today’s smartphones are more than up to the job of main video camera. Film director Danny Boyle is even using an iPhone 15 to shoot his upcoming zombie sequel 28 Years Later. To buff their footage to a truly professional sheen, however, even the most capable smartphones benefit from a helping hand. Boyle’s iPhone appears to be heavily modified with all sorts of add-ons such as multi-thousand-dollar cinema lenses. But for those of us operating on a smaller budget, a mobile three-axis gimbal is the ideal smartphone accessory to take phone footage to the next level, by automatically stabilizing handheld footage and removing shakes and jitters far more effectively than any onboard image stabilization system. And after spending some time with it, I'm delighted to say that the Hohem iSteady M7 is the most advanced and feature-packed smartphone stabilizer I’ve ever used. The iSteady M7’s chunky, utilitarian design and bold color scheme may not appeal to everyone, and it can’t fully fold down like the pocket-size Insta360 Flow or DJI Osmo Mobile (WIRED Recommends 8/10). It can be semi-folded into a flattened state for transport, whereupon it fits snugly in a hard carry case that comes with it, but it’s larger (13.2 x 6.2 x 2.2 inches when folded) and heavier (25.6 ounces including its mini tripod attachment) than most of the gimbals I’ve used. The upside of that extra heft is its ability to carry and stabilize a bulkier payload. The iSteady M7’s large grip and powerful gimbal motor mean it can accommodate phones up to 17.6 ounces in weight and up to 0.49 inches thick, which means even folding phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 are compatible. It also means you can kit your phone out with accessories like cases or lens mods and still enjoy full stabilization. Most gimbals can only hold phones up to 10.5 ounces in weight. I found the stabilization itself to be flawless—and flexible. Some manual balancing of my iPhone 13 was required, but only via a simple slide along one axis, and once done the gimbal does the rest, automatically leveling the phone and then following my movements according to whichever of the preset modes I was using. Pan Follow keeps the gimbal locked along the tilt and pitch axes, Pan Tilt Follow keeps it locked only on the pitch axis and POV follows your movements on all three axes. There’s also a custom mode, where the user can pick the three axes they want movement on, and follow speed can also be adjusted manually. If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. This helps support our journalism. Learn more. Please also consider subscribing to WIRED There’s more going for the iSteady M7 than its stabilization, though. The ergonomics are solid, with the grip feeling comfy and secure in my hand, the buttons and other controls (which include a handy customizable wheel that can be set to smoothly pull focus or input gimbal movement) are all well placed. There’s a 7.9-inch extension rod that telescopes out of the handle to give the user greater working distance between themselves and their phone. There are two spots to mount third-party accessories via a standard tripod thread, plus a tripod mount on the bottom and two USB-C ports. One of these ports can be used to charge the gimbal’s internal battery, and one can be used to top up the battery of the phone currently mounted, effectively turning the gimbal into a power bank.

Last year, Google announced changes to its Chrome browser that signaled the end for po[CENSORED]r extension uBlock Origin. The ad-blocker’s design put it at odds with Google’s new Manifest v3 requirements, with death as the likely outcome. The Grim Reaper is here now, with Manifest V3’s full implementation all but complete. If uBlock Origin and other extensions haven’t been taken away from you yet, they very soon will be—so it’s time to jump to a viable alternative ASAP. Going without an ad-blocker is a security risk, as rogue ads can push you to phishing sites or spread malware. Fortunately, good ad-block options still exist. The easiest switch? Hopping over to uBlock Origin Lite instead. Made by the same developer of the original uBlock Origin, you can coax similar performance out of it with a quick hop into its settings. By default, its “Basic” filtering mode requires no permissions and goes lighter on screening. Ratchet up its scrutiny to at least “Optimal” filtering, and if you want to go ham, you can bump it up all the way to “Complete” filtering. One key difference between this Lite version and the original is less custom control over filtering, which can be a harder adjustment for power users. But with these setting tweaks, most users won’t notice much of a difference between the two. Other excellent alternative ad-block extensions exist, too—Ad Guard in particular is favored by my colleague Michael Crider. Meanwhile, AdBlock Plus has a long-storied history of blocking ads on the web. (However, many users switched from ABP after their “Acceptable Ads” program became more known.) Ghostery combines privacy control with ad-blocking, with a very simple, easy-to-understand interface. You can read more about each of these extensions in PCWorld’s rundown of alternative ad-blockers, but there’s also a fifth option: switching to Firefox. It’s the one major browser not based on Chromium, the open-source code powering Chrome and browsers like Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi, etc. Accordingly, the full-fat version of uBlock Origin is still available. In fact, it’s the only version, because Mozilla’s missteps caused the death of uBlock Origin Lite. (Sigh.)

OpenAI is now getting a huge boost in performance via NVIDIA's GB200 NVL72 "Blackwell" system. While NVIDIA has already been powering OpenAI's AI models, the expansion to Microsoft Azure to leverage the power of NVIDIA's flagship data center GPU will further improve the AI models through rigorous training. In an X post, the CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman, announced that Microsoft Azure is now running the first full eight racks of the GB200 NVL72 system. Sam also thanked the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, and the CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, for making this happen. Through the collaboration of these companies, the Azure OpenAI service can now position Microsoft as one of the leading cloud providers for AI workloads. The NVIDIA Blackwell GB200 NVL72 system contains 36 Grace CPUs and 72 Blackwell GPUs in a rack-scale design. With eight such racks, there will be a total of 288 Grace CPUs paired with a whopping 576 B200 GPUs. This can produce incredible computational power as a single rack can result in up to 6,480 TFLOPS of FP32 and up to 3,240 TFLOPS of FP64 performance. This computational power can now be multiplied by eight times, resulting in almost 51,840 TFLOPS of FP32 and 25,920 TFLOPS of FP64 performance. With such exceptional computing performance, the Azure OpenAI service can be highly beneficial for enterprises looking to scale their businesses. The NVIDIA "Blackwell" GB200 NVL72 is incredibly powerful & optimized for large-scale generative AI workloads as it offers a high memory bandwidth of up to 576 TB/s and brings parallel processing power. OpenAI currently uses a variety of NVIDIA GPUs, including NVIDIA V100s, H100s, and A100s, but the Blackwell B200 is the most advanced GPU chip that brings significant performance uplifts over its predecessors. As Microsoft invested almost $14 Billion in OpenAI, it's no surprise that it wants to take the lead with the most powerful machine for its customers.

Cozy farming sims are all the rage right now. They're everywhere. But maybe the chillest farming sim of all is one that doesn't ask you to farm. Or socialize. Or do much of anything, actually. Enter Ropuka's Idle Island, the best $4/£3 I've spent in ages. Ropuka's Idle Island is exactly what the name suggests. Ropuka is a sleepy frog person who lives on an island of grass. His home rests idly anywhere on your desktop while you chill, play other games, get sucked into internet rabbit holes, watch anime, pay taxes, or do work. He's even waving his green hand up at me while I write these very words. It's not entirely automated, though. Ropuka takes constant naps to recharge his stamina, at which point he'll get up to cut grass that serves as the game's currency. You can use it to upgrade his stamina bar, improve how efficient his naps are, and raise the quality of the grass, just to name a few examples. Or you can trade greens for gold that can then be exchanged for loot boxes that dish out random cosmetics, like a floral crown for dear Ropuka, different trees for his island, and other lovely stuff. When you stop to think about it too hard, all you're doing is decorating his tiny little prison. 10-second naps followed by 10 seconds of farming - what kind of life is that? But, just, don't think about it too hard, okay? It's cuter that way. I've never really been sucked in to the various idle games that po[CENSORED]te PC storefronts nowadays, but I'm properly in love with Ropuka's Idle Island. As someone whose attention span is in the gutter - I struggle to get more than an hour of work done without being distracted by something on the wall - the game is sort of a life saver. Mentally, I tell myself that all I need to do is X amount of work or admin before I can afford the next upgrade for my little frog friend, which helps me stay on track. His lo-fi beats don't hurt either. You can entrap the little guy on Steam right now. Surprise, surprise: 98% of reviews are also positive. For now, don’t miss a single exciting release with our new games of 2025 and beyond release calendar.
