Zimbabwe officials denied rumors of a military takeover when tanks rolled through Harare streets on Wednesday. People worried as they watched military vehicles drive through downtown areas where important leaders lived. Ndavaningi Mangwana posted on social media that these tanks just showed off equipment during planned drills.
Government spokesman George Charamba backed this up, saying army forces practiced to keep their battle systems ready. He assured everyone this happened to maintain security for citizens. The tanks appeared during political tension within the ruling Zanu PF party about President Emmerson Mnangagwa's leaving office when his term ends in 2028.

Armored tanks rolled through Harare neighborhoods recently, making many Zimbabweans worry about a possible military takeover. People asked questions on social media, remembering the 2017 coup. Government spokesman Nick Mangwana quickly told everyone this was just normal equipment testing. But people kept talking anyway, showing deep worries about the country's situation.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has heard harsh criticism from members of his Zanu-PF party for the first time since he took power in 2017. These attacks remind many of what happened before Robert Mugabe lost his job as president. Mugabe had ruled since 1980 as the hero who ended white-minority control, but war veterans stopped backing him before his fall.

Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa just named Emmanuel Matatu as his new army leader right before Monday's planned protests. War veterans who previously backed Mnangagwa want him gone because they say he runs the country badly and steals money. Matatu takes over right away as the army boss. Earlier, Mnangagwa suddenly moved his previous army chief to a sports ministry job.
Matatu is about 72 years old and comes from the same area as Mnangagwa. He isn't famous, and expert Eldred Masunungure thinks Mnangagwa picked him just to fill the spot during shaky times. Matatu is the fourth army leader since Mnangagwa grabbed power less than eight years ago. This shows big problems between the ruling party and military, according to...
AMD built their RX 9070 XT graphics card with great cooling and strong structure. They added three fans to move air faster and keep everything cool inside. The card needs two PCIe 8-pin plugs for power to run all those high-performance parts. AMD chose a simple black outer case that takes up three slots. The back panel has many holes for air to flow through, helping heat escape quickly. Engineers clearly focused on keeping temperatures low and making the card easy to install.
The inside has five heat pipes placed exactly where needed to pull heat away from hot parts. A copper base sits under the main GPU chip to draw heat directly away. Memory chips connect to the metal frame with special heat-carrying pads. You can hook up four...
Intel recently canceled plans for their top-tier Arc Xe2 graphics card. They stopped making the high-end Battlemage version because of major technical problems. Earlier information had shown three different Battlemage computer IDs, which made experts disagree about what Intel planned. Some thought these IDs meant a better version of the B580 card would arrive. Others believed Intel might create a bigger family with B750, B770, or B780 models. The latest news confirms Intel actually stopped working on the "BMG-G31" chip during July- September 2024.
Tech experts Tomasz Gawroński and Jaykihn discussed this change publicly. They explained that Intel didn't just temporarily pause the project—they completely removed it from future plans. The...
You can buy two different Zotac RTX 5090 Solid OC graphics cards from Alternate Germany right now. The first one has fewer ROP units than normal—just 168 instead of 176. The second option comes marked as B-stock with small scratches and beat-up packaging but includes all 176 ROPs. Both cards cost exactly the same: €2,899, which equals about $3,189 when you convert euros to dollars at a rate of 1.1.
These cards cost way more than they should. The price is about €650 ($715) higher than what Nvidia recommends for their standard RTX 5090 Founders Edition. The missing ROPs definitely hurt performance—tests show up to 11% slower speeds in certain cases. Nvidia claims the average slowdown sits closer to 4%, though. This manufacturing problem...
Microsoft added a big change to the newest Windows 11 test version. When setting up your computer, you can pick between the regular NTFS or the brand new ReFS file system. ReFS handles huge storage needs - up to 35 petabytes! It checks file data automatically, works with Storage Spaces, and copies files faster with block cloning. The system remains early-stage, though. It can't yet run as your main boot drive, squeeze files with compression, or work with USB drives. Users see a fresh screen during setup that helps them pick the right option for their needs.
The two file systems differ in key ways. ReFS tackles modern computer tasks with stronger data protection and better handling of giant files. It fixes errors automatically and...

MSI Computer just launched a powerful graphics card for compact PCs over in Asia. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G INSPIRE 3X OC fits perfectly into small computers because it meets all NVIDIA SFF-Ready standards. This beast packs 8,960 CUDA cores running at speeds up to 2,482MHz. The card comes loaded with 16GB of super-fast GDDR7 memory that connects through a 256-bit interface at 28Gbps. You can plug in four displays thanks to its one HDMI 2.1b port and three DisplayPort 2.1b connections.
The graphics card works with the newest PCI Express 5.0 slots and needs just one 16-pin power connector to run everything. Keeping things cool matters a lot for these compact cards. MSI added three fans with special Wave-Curved 3.0 fins that move...
