Musicals and Plays Each Tell Stories in Their Way
People enjoy many types of art today. Some create paintings, others visit museums, and many make pottery or attend shows. Every art form tells a story. Art brings people together through creativity and storytelling, even when we prefer different kinds. Theatre stands out as a popular art form. Most people connect theatre with Broadway shows in New York City. They picture big musical productions like "Wicked" or "Lion King." What many don't realize is that Broadway features regular plays without music, not just musicals. Theatre experts never call a musical a "play" because these art forms differ greatly. Musicals blend singing, dancing, and acting to tell stories. They range from funny comedies to sad tragedies to sweet love stories...

Someone recently leaked new ASUS graphics cards from the RTX 5060 Ti line. User momomo_us posted these details online for everyone to see. The leak shows both TUF Gaming and PRIME cards coming soon.

Several stores and supplier websites already list the TUF Gaming and PRIME versions. This points to a large release that may include other models. ASUS will probably add budget-friendly DUAL cards and premium ROG Strix models later. The GB206 GPU...
Dough Canvas aims to be the 6K Mac display worth waiting for

Ainex KM-09 checks USB C power with precision and ease
Ainex just made a new USB Type-C power checker called the KM-09. This little gadget lets you see exactly how much power and voltage comes through your USB-C cables. It came out on April 7, 2025, and measures power up to 140W plus voltage from 5V to 28V. You can buy one for about 880 to 980 yen, which equals around $6.50 to $7.40 in US dollars. They start shipping on April 9, 2025. Tech experts love these things because they help fix problems with USB-C connections. When you plug the KM-09 into your device, its screen shows both the voltage and power numbers right away. The display flashes "PD" whenever power delivery happens, making it super easy to check if everything works right. The device works with USB4 and handles 40 Gbps data...
Asus RX 9070 gets XT level boost with BIOS flash trick
You can turn an Asus Prime Radeon RX 9070 OC into the XT version just by changing its BIOS. This simple flash boosts the card's speed and lets it use more power, matching what the XT does normally. But here's the catch—you won't unlock any extra hardware parts. Those eight disabled compute units and 512 missing streaming processors stay turned off no matter what. Still, many tech fans love this trick because they can push their cards harder without buying the more expensive model. A computer expert named Gurdi tried this on his card. He flashed his regular RX 9070 with the BIOS from the better XT version. This made his card run much faster—jumping from 2.6 GHz to 3.1 GHz! It also increased the power limit from 220 watts to 317 watts...
RTX 5060 Ti shows early muscle in leaked Furmark tests
Someone found the new NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti graphics card in the Furmark testing database, giving us an early peek at how fast it runs. The card showed up three different times with the code name 10DE-2D04. Each test tells us something different about how well this card performs. During one test with remote desktop, it scored 5634 points at 93 frames per second, with clock speeds hitting 1238 MHz. Another test showed much better results with 10242 points and 170 FPS at 1080p resolution, pushing clock speeds up to 2656 MHz. When tested at 4K Ultra HD, it managed 4411 points and 73 FPS. The database also shows that this card uses up to 180 watts of power. The heart of the RTX 5060 Ti is the GB206 chip, which might come with either 36 or 40...
China bets on one cable to rule data and power
Chinese tech companies have joined forces to create GPMI, or General Purpose Media Interface. More than 50 companies are working together on this cable tech that carries both data and power at once. You'll need just one cable instead of the jumble we currently use with HDMI setups. GPMI moves data super fast—up to 192 Gbit/s—and delivers a whopping 480W of electricity through the same wire. GPMI comes in two sizes. The smaller Type-C fits with your regular USB-C ports but still manages 96 Gbps speed and 240W power. For bigger jobs, Type-B doubles those numbers to 192 Gbps and 480W. These speeds leave current HDMI in the dust! The old HDMI 2.0 only handles 18 Gbps, and even the newer HDMI 2.1 caps at 48 Gbps - that's way below what GPMI...
Microsoft Copilot gets smarter with browser and memory skills
Microsoft just made Copilot better with fresh features that help you do more things faster. Copilot can directly work on websites for you - it books hotels and makes restaurant reservations all by itself. This matches what AI tools from OpenAI and Google already offer but comes through Microsoft instead. Copilot also keeps track of what you talked about before. It learns where you like to travel or what foods you prefer, then uses this info later. You control how much it remembers about you and can switch off this memory function completely if you want. Copilot has become much stronger at finding information. It searches through many documents and pictures to create detailed reports. The system even creates podcasts that explain hard...
Police Probe Chaos at Church Service Attended by Gachagua
Police started investigating the Sunday trouble at PCEA Mwiki church, where former Deputy President Gachagua attended service. The DCI began searching for reasons behind this mess.
