People across Zimbabwe stayed home instead of joining street protests against President Mnangagwa on Monday. The planned march became a nationwide shutdown as citizens feared the large numbers of police and soldiers. Most businesses closed their doors, streets emptied, schools canceled classes, and public transportation disappeared from many areas. Fear kept many Zimbabweans inside as police set up roadblocks at city entrances.
Police officers patrolled Harare city center all day long and quickly broke up the few small groups that tried to demonstrate. They fired tear gas at people gathered near Robert Mugabe Square, according to videos shared online. Officers also removed stones and cement blocks thrown during brief clashes with...
GMKtec shared big news last weekend through their Weibo page. Chinese customers can pre-order the new EVO-X2 mini PC starting April 7 from JD.com. The company bragged about this machine two weeks ago, calling it the first AI mini PC anywhere with AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU. They grabbed attention when Lisa Su signed one of these computers during the 2025 AI PC Innovation Summit held on March 18 in Beijing. They kept quiet about money matters back then.
The latest update reveals this powerhouse will cost about $2067 US dollars or 14999 yuan. GMKtec says their EVO-X2 changes what small computers can do. It packs a 16-core processor with 32 threads running at speeds up to 5.1 GHz. With 128 GB of memory and 2 TB of storage space, this...
I played DOOM: The Dark Ages for three hours, and my expectations shattered like demon parts! This fresh game keeps the fast combat, bloody looks, and loud music from recent DOOM titles. Yet it pushes way beyond what came before. The team let me try four different parts of the game, each showing something new. Let me tell you about them.
First came a story mission with actual cutscenes, not just text entries. We see planet Argent D'Nur, the god-like Makyrs, and our hero kept prisoner until needed. They gave me a shotgun and shield; then I started smashing demons. Levels switch between tight hallways and open fighting areas. Your weapons feel super powerful, and you must attack to stay alive.
The shield changes everything because enemy...
AMD plans to replace its current Ryzen 8000G desktop APUs with new models that might hit stores by the end of 2025. Insider HXL/9550pro recently shared news about an "AMD AM5 New APU" family coming alongside a fancy MSI Unify-X motherboard during the last three months of 2025. Many tech writers believe these chips could be named "Ryzen 9000G" and will combine AMD's Zen 5 processor cores with RDNA 3.5 graphics technology.
This powerful mix already exists in laptop chips like AMD's Ryzen AI "Strix Halo," "Strix Point," and "Krackan Point" APUs. Most industry watchers expect that AMD will bring high-end "Strix Point" designs to desktop computers or possibly use the "Gorgon Point" design that leaked last week. Early 2024 saw AMD move its...
President Mnangagwa wants to keep political power by pushing Kudakwashe Tagwirei up the ranks of ZANU PF leadership. People inside the party say Mnangagwa hopes this move will hurt Vice President Chiwenga's support base. The Harare branch of ZANU PF just held a meeting about adding new members to their Central Committee. They talked about Tagwirei, a rich businessman who backs Mnangagwa.
Godwills Masimirembwa runs ZANU PF in Harare. He told reporters everyone agreed Tagwirei should join the Central Committee. "We need stronger leaders right now," Masimirembwa said after the meeting. "Tagwirei knows business very well. He thinks ahead. Our members want him involved, and we'll tell Dr. Obert Mpofu about this decision."
Many people loyal...
Russia teamed up with Belarus to make computer chips at home. They built a new machine that prints tiny circuits on silicon wafers measuring 8 inches across. The Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center worked with a Belarusian company called Planar on this project. They created this system because Western countries blocked Russia from buying modern chip-making equipment through sanctions.
Their new machine uses laser beams to draw circuit patterns on special coatings that cover silicon discs. These patterns become actual circuits after chemical treatment. The technology makes chips at 350 nanometers - about as advanced as computer parts from the 1990s when Intel made Pentium II processors. Modern chips elsewhere measure just 3-5 nanometers...
The ruling party switched direction just days after President Mnangagwa kicked out the Zimbabwe Army commander. They fast-tracked controversial businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei toward the presidency. This sharp change happened very quickly, surprising many political observers who watched the events unfold last week.
War veteran Blessed Geza spoke during his recent national address about the coming leadership change. Geza, praised by ZANU PF for military skills and intelligence work, stated Mnangagwa would step aside for Tagwirei soon. State media revealed this information on March 31st, the same day Geza led public demonstrations against the current leadership.
Zanu PF leaders in Harare voted to push Tagwirei into the party's powerful...
HP plans to sell individual Omen PC parts directly to gamers who build computers from scratch. This marks a big change from their usual strategy of selling only prebuilt systems. The company will soon release several products, including a single 120 mm RGB fan and packs with three fans. They'll also offer a powerful 1000 W modular power supply plus two liquid cooling systems - one 240 mm version with an LCD screen and another 360 mm model with addressable RGB lighting. These parts will work perfectly fine with desktop computers not made by HP.
The new fans use a ring-shaped design that pushes more air through your system (up to 74 CFM) and reduces noise by improving static pressure. Every fan comes with customizable RGB lights that you...
