Experts recently warned that Kampala might crash if planners keep fighting instead of working together. The city has struggled with political fights during the Kawempe North election. Heavy rains made everything worse, destroying parts of the city and killing several people. Many important groups have spoken up about the damage to Kampala's name, making social and political watchers angry. After floods killed more than 10 people, The Observer talked to experts who say these problems run deep and need everyone to help fix them.
Urban planner Amanda Ngabirano believes Kampala has plenty of money and skilled workers. She thinks the real problem comes from bad leadership and dishonest politics. She says everyone points fingers at others...

Intel wrapped up its big tech show in Las Vegas yesterday. Since then, many tech news sites have been writing about what Intel shared during the two-day event. They talked a lot about their new Core Ultra 300 "Panther Lake" chips that will use their 18A manufacturing process. Intel plans to start making these chips this year and release them in 2025, with large-scale production in 2026. The success of these new chips depends on how well Intel's chip-making business grows. Intel recently posted that its 18A process has reached "risk production" - the last step before they start making tons of chips in 2025.
Back in mid-2021, when Pat Gelsinger was in charge, Intel started a plan called "five nodes in four years." This meant creating...
AMD plans to sell a cheaper Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics card as part of its RX 9000 series. Zhongzheng Computer shared on WeChat on March 9 that this card will offer better value for people who can't afford the RX 9070 XT. The company will release the Radeon RX 9060 XT at a later date. This news shows that the 9070 GRE offers high-end power without the big price tag of the RX 9070 XT.
AMD hasn't made an official statement yet, but many sources like Baigai Kyoka have backed up the existence of the 9070 GRE model. These sources also hint at what specs we can expect. The card will likely use AMD's RDNA 4 design with the NAVI 48 GPU core, just like the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 cards do. But the 9070 GRE will probably have less memory...

ASUS just released its new S5 SFF slim desktop computers with the latest 14th-gen Intel Core chips. These small PCs come with great cooling systems and top-notch parts. They use premium capacitors that handle hot and cold changes well. The power supply has earned an 80PLUS PLATINUM rating because it runs cool and saves energy.

The NVIDIA RTX 5080 Mobile runs great in gaming laptops but falls behind the RTX 5090 Mobile by about 10 to 15 percent in speed tests. Different tech websites like Notebookcheck ran tests using the same Schenker XMG Neo 16 laptops with Ryzen 9 9955HX chips inside. They found clear speed differences when playing tough games such as Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy XV, and Assassin's Creed: Shadows.
You notice this gap most when playing at 4K. The difference shrinks when you play at lower screen settings because the graphics card matters less then. Even when you turn on DLSS features, the gap stays about the same. Tests with Assassin's Creed Shadows showed the RTX 5090 Mobile still ran 15 percent faster with DLSS turned on.
The RTX 5080...

The Mac version handles disk failures much better, preventing errors when...
Digital marketing changes fast, making it hard for experts to keep up. Your current plans might not work later when AI becomes a bigger part of how people search online. SEO helps people find your apartment communities on the web today. But experts say you need to learn about GEO - optimizing your content for AI search engines like Google Gemini or Perplexity.
You've probably seen AI search results already. Those summary boxes at the top of Google searches come from Google Gemini. They give quick answers without making you click through websites.
