The government wants to start paying money to faith leaders in The Gambia. Hamat Bah made this big news during Sunday talks at State House when Muslim elders came to see the president for Eid-ul-Fitr. He said both the Banjul imam ratib and the head of The Gambia Christian Council will receive salaries. This marks the first time religious leaders will earn state paychecks in the country.
Hamat Bah also talked about fixing the roads. He thinks there are way too many car repair shops in the wrong places. These shops must move soon because they hurt business growth in The Gambia. Many streets have car garages that just popped up without permission. Bah points his finger at local councils for letting this happen.

Momodou Taal decided to leave America rather than keep fighting his deportation case. The Gambian-British student from Cornell University had sued to stop the Trump administration from forcing him out because he supported Palestine. He announced his departure yesterday through social media. Taal thanked everyone who helped him, especially his legal team.
He wrote that everything he did aimed to support Palestinian humanity, which deeply affected him. Taal explained he chose to exit the United States freely with pride. His lawsuit against the Trump administration hoped to help himself and others facing similar situations. Instead, ICE agents came to his home and canceled his visa before he could have his day in court.
Their first legal...
Alhaji Sosseh Colley has expressed deep thanks to Modou Turo Darboe for his generous help during Ramadan. Alhaji lives in Bakau Mamakoto and Katchikally but was born in Baddibu Salikenni. He spoke with The Standard about how Modou, whom he calls his "nephew," has supported him and the local people. For many years, Modou has given him 500 bags of sugar weighing 20kg each plus a bull for the Lailat-ul-Qadr celebration.
Alhaji asked Allah to keep blessing Modou with resources to help Muslims across The Gambia, Casamance, and Senegal. He believes people should look up to Modou because he helps everyone, regardless of religion, throughout the year. Alhaji stressed that Allah will reward such kindness. He prayed for Modou to enjoy a long...
Some AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors faced startup problems with certain ASRock AM5 motherboards. The issue first appeared in February 2025, prompting immediate action from both companies. Their investigation discovered that older BIOS versions on specific ASRock boards caused memory compatibility issues. These problems prevented computers with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D from completing the POST startup sequence properly.
ASRock acted fast by releasing a beta BIOS update that fixed the memory problem. After thorough testing, they made the final version available today. Anyone who installs this BIOS update should see the startup issue completely disappear. One report claimed a CPU was damaged, but further inspection found no burn marks on the...
A new Money Today SK article reports that Samsung plans to release an updated Galaxy Ring model with a fresh battery system later in 2025. The company calls it a "dream battery" design. Samsung handed this tricky job to its Electro-Mechanics team, which must create "all-solid-state" batteries for tiny wearable gadgets. The news came out yesterday about Samsung's plans for a Galaxy Ring follow-up during the last three months of 2025.
Making all-solid-state batteries costs plenty of money, which might cause problems when Samsung sells the "Galaxy Ring 2" in stores. The first version didn't exactly fly off shelves. People watching the industry expect high prices because of these fancy new batteries. Money Today learned from sources inside...
MLCommons just released new MLPerf Inference v5.0 benchmark results. These tests show Intel Xeon 6 chips with Performance Cores running six important AI tests. The numbers prove that these processors work almost twice as fast as older versions. Intel Xeon 6 stands out as a top choice for companies building modern AI systems.
Karin Eibschitz Segal from Intel says Xeon 6 hits the sweet spot between fast performance and power saving. She heads the Data Center and AI team as corporate vice president. Her team keeps making each new generation of Intel chips better at AI tasks. They focus on helping businesses run AI more efficiently.
Companies need powerful CPUs as they add more AI to their products. These central processors handle many...
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has shared new details about future Apple MacBooks with M5 chips. Gurman tracks inside information at Apple and often predicts upcoming products correctly. His latest scoop suggests Apple plans to launch new super-slim MacBooks early next year. These laptops will feature the next M5 chips but might keep the same 15-inch and 13-inch designs as current models. The existing MacBook Air lineup with M4 chips came out last month, starting at $999 and introducing a new blue color option.
Apple seems focused on internal upgrades rather than changing how their laptops look. According to Gurman's March 30 newsletter, engineers have already started developing the M5-powered MacBook Air models. These computers will...
MLCommons just shared fresh results from their MLPerf Inference v5.0 benchmark tests. These tests gauge how fast different machines run AI models across many tasks. The AI world clearly focuses most of its energy on generative AI these days. Recent hardware and software improvements have created massive performance jumps compared to last year.
The benchmark tests measure both big data centers and smaller edge systems. They check how quickly each system runs various AI and machine learning models. This open-source testing system creates fair competition that pushes everyone to make better, faster, more efficient AI systems. It also helps buyers pick the right AI systems and adjust them properly. The latest round adds four new tests...
NVIDIA broke records in the recent MLPerf Inference V5.0 tests with their Blackwell platform. This marked their first entry using the GB200 NVL72 system. The rack-scale solution excels at AI reasoning tasks. Modern AI requires special computing facilities called AI factories instead of traditional data centers.
AI factories transform raw data into useful insights immediately rather than just storing information. They must deliver accurate answers quickly, cheaply, and to many users simultaneously. Making this happen becomes very complex behind the scenes. Larger AI models with billions of parameters require more computing power for each output piece.
This higher requirement reduces the total output an AI factory can generate and...
