When buying a laptop, you need to pick between OLED and LCD screens. Both have good points and bad points. OLED screens look better because they show deeper blacks and brighter colors than LCD screens. You can see OLED screens clearly from all angles. They emit less blue light, which helps your eyes feel less tired. ASUS makes OLED laptops that cut harmful blue light by 70% without changing colors.
LCD screens cost less money than OLED screens. They last longer and work well for many years. LCDs can run at faster speeds, which helps games look smoother. People who play lots of games often like LCD screens better. The main problem with OLED screens comes from burn-in. This happens when pictures stay on the screen for a long time and...
Zimbabwe just changed its money rules to help local truck businesses. The Finance Act 2024 says only Zimbabwean citizens can transport companies inside the country. This big change affects all businesses that move goods on Zimbabwe roads. The government wants local people to benefit from this important part of the economy. They believe this helps create more jobs for citizens and builds up skills across the nation.
The new rule covers every kind of road transport service. This includes companies using regular trucks, trailers, dump trucks, fuel tankers, and other vehicles that carry things. People from other countries who already run these businesses must ask permission to keep working. They need to send papers to the Industry and...
ZERA wants to pause home and business electrical checks until they talk more with everyone involved. They believe these safety checks matter but need input from more people first. The group put out a notice saying they asked for all checks to stop for a time. They plan to hear from many different voices before starting the program again. ZERA thinks these talks must happen because many people have raised questions about the current system.
Numbers show that electrical accidents are on the rise across the country. ZERA and ZETDC have counted 23 accidents already this year, and seven people have died. Bad wiring and old electrical parts caused many of these problems. This danger pushed officials to ask for better safety rules. The...
CABS reports that its $90 million credit deals with regional banks have already helped Zimbabwe's economy grow. These loans came from the African Export Import Bank and the Trade Development Bank. The banking arm of Old Mutual Zimbabwe shared this news in its yearly report ending December 2024. They stressed how much they cared about making Zimbabwe's economy stronger. Their loans increased 14.37% to $192.03 million last year, mainly supporting business and industry needs.
Money went next to personal loans and housing projects. Their income from these loans jumped to $21.92 million, up 5.5% from 2023. Managing director Mehluli Mpofu said CABS wants to help develop the country's economy. He explained that they provide working money and...
Zimbabwe's central bank wants new gold money notes ready fast, said Bank Chief John Mushayavanhu. He warned people that making fresh cash takes time—anywhere from six months to two years in many places around the world.
The bank plans to make better ZiG notes that match what other countries use. Money experts know that creating new cash requires special skills and plenty of time. The bank team works hard to speed this process up as much as possible. They must follow important steps when they design and release new money.
The ZiG just celebrated its first birthday yesterday. Bank leaders think their plan to use fewer US dollars is moving forward well. They see steady ZiG value and stable food prices as good signs. This progress helped...
Information Minister Dr. Jenfan Muswere called Eddie Cross an excited fraud after Cross made wild claims against Zimbabwe's First Family. Muswere said these claims show that Cross still thinks black people can succeed only with white help. He blamed this on leftover imperial thinking in Cross's mind. The former opposition member gave an interview to South African TV where he accused the First Family of corruption. Later, Cross had to walk back his statements because he lacked any proof.
Cross admitted he promised to give President Mnangagwa evidence but failed to deliver anything solid. He even said he apologized to the First Family for making claims based just on rumors. Muswere stressed that the government listens to many viewpoints...
CASSAVA Technologies picked South Africa instead of Zimbabwe to build Africa's first artificial intelligence factory with Nvidia. This decision runs counter to President Mnangagwa's push for outside business investments in Zimbabwe. The company, started by Zimbabwean businessman Strive Masiyiwa, will place powerful AI computers at its South African centers starting June. It plans to expand these systems later to Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, and Nigeria. The choice shows how South Africa leads the race for AI development across the continent.
Mnangagwa took control of Zimbabwe through military action in November 2017. He quickly told the world Zimbabwe welcomed business partners from everywhere. His plan seemed clever at first glance as a way...
People keep finding melted 12-pin connectors on high-power graphics cards. These problems happen because the connector design has a basic flaw. We see this mostly with the powerful RTX 5090 cards that use almost 600 watts during heavy gaming. The issue might not go away unless someone fixes the actual design problem.
A Reddit user recently shared photos showing both ends of their cable melted—the part connected to the graphics card and the part plugged into the power supply. Both parts suffered permanent damage. The user explained they weren't overclocking the card and used the official 12VHPWR cable that came with their power supply. They had paired a premium Corsair SF1000L power supply with an MSI RTX 5090 Gaming TRIO OC graphics...
NVIDIA just made a big move with their PhysX SDK after more than six years. They finally released all the GPU simulation kernel source code on GitHub under the 3-Clause BSD license. Before this, only parts of PhysX were truly open source. NVIDIA shared that they've included over 500 CUDA kernels that power features like rigid body dynamics, fluid simulation, and bendable objects. These represent some of the most advanced real-time simulation uses of CUDA and GPU programming available today. They hope people will use this release for learning and creating new projects.
The company also made their Flow SDK completely open source. This library handles real-time fluid simulation using a sparse grid system. We hadn't heard much about NVIDIA...
