Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi explained why he missed the Friday signing ceremony between President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre. His office sent out a message late Friday saying he had four important jobs that kept him busy all day. His schedule started with an early morning Kenya Kwanza meeting at State House, led by President Ruto. During this meeting, lawmakers from the ruling group approved the agreement between Ruto's United Democratic Alliance party and Raila's Orange Democratic Movement.
People noticed Mudavadi wasn't there when Ruto signed the official agreement with Raila at KICC Friday afternoon. The two leaders created a partnership...
Kenya's government told lawmakers it completely controls the eCitizen online platform, where people pay for services. Immigration boss Julius Bitok spoke to a group of lawmakers led by Gabriel Tongoyo. He said the government keeps all documents that prove it controls this system. Bitok made clear they had nothing to hide about eCitizen or any deals with tech companies that help run it.
"The government has a real contract for eCitizen that the Attorney General approved," Bitok explained to the committee. He described how three different parts of government handle the system. His department adds new services, another agency runs the website, and the Treasury collects the money. Bitok also explained why users pay an extra Sh50 fee for...
AMD just told everyone what they'd charge for their new Ryzen chips with extra memory tech. The big 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D costs $699, which puts it $100 above the regular version without the special cache. The smaller 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X3D sells for $599. Both chips use the latest Zen 5 design plus that fancy 3D V-Cache system that helps run programs faster when they need to handle lots of data at once.
You can buy these processors starting March 12. The prices match what AMD did with earlier models like the 7950X3D and 7900X3D from the last batch. People didn't love the 12-core option before, but maybe this time around, the $599 price tag will change their minds. Computer fans might see it as a good middle ground between paying...
Leadtek just released brand new WinFast HURRICANE graphics cards that run on the GeForce RTX 50 technology. You can buy these cards as the powerful RTX 5090, the mid-range RTX 5080, or the budget-friendly RTX 5070 Ti. Every model comes with normal settings for power use and speed right out of the box. These cards stand out because they have a cool X-shaped frame on the front that stretches evenly across both sides, which makes them look super sturdy.
The fancy RTX 5090 has colorful RGB lights built into the extended arms of that X design. The cheaper RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti skip the flashy lights and come with a simple matte surface instead. When we look at the exact measurements, the big RTX 5090 is 359.5 mm long, 145.2 mm tall, and...
A tech website reported yesterday that MSI might have recalled its Geforce RTX 5090 32G Suprim SOC graphics cards. The story came from a Dutch store called UW GAME SPECIALIST, which told a customer they couldn't fill an order because five cards had been taken back for fire safety problems. MSI looked into these claims right away and found them to be completely false. The company never started any recall for these products.
MSI runs tough quality tests on all its products, both inside the company and through outside testing groups. The RTX 5090 cards meet every safety rule and work exactly as they should. The company discovered that the store spreading this rumor isn't even an official MSI seller. What the store said about recalls...

NVIDIA started checking their laptop RTX 50 series GPUs because some might lack important Raster Operations Pipeline parts. They began looking into this after people found similar problems with desktop graphics cards using Blackwell technology. These ROP units handle key tasks like pixel blending and depth testing that help render graphics well. The missing parts could make affected cards run up to 14% slower than they should. NVIDIA teamed up with their partners to test everything carefully, making sure all GPUs meet the right standards. Early numbers suggest this problem exists in just half a percent of all chips made.
The extra testing pushed back the release date for these laptop GPUs from March to April. NVIDIA needed more time to...
Biwin created a new memory kit called Black Opal OC Lab Gold Edition DW100. It helps computers that need lots of memory and fast data transfers. You can buy it with four big 48 GB sticks that add up to 192 GB in total. They sell two different speeds. One runs at DDR5-6400 with timings of CL30-39-39-108 using 1.4 volts.
