Word around the tech industry suggests LM TEK might step in to manage the EK brand soon. The company recently went through some tough times, missing payments to suppliers and employees and falling behind on fees for media partners. People inside the company talked about poor communication making everything worse. LM TEK plans to fix these money problems and help teams talk better.
The official EK web store already shows LM TEK running things. Customers can still buy all their favorite water-cooling gear from there. The fresh leadership team wants to clean up how EK runs its business. They plan to meet higher technical standards and ship products faster to customers who need them.
EK looks ahead by changing how products reach stores...

AMD just released its RDNA 4 graphics cards, including the RX 9070 series, which need computers with UEFI firmware to work properly. These new GPUs might run on older BIOS systems, but you probably won't access cool features like Smart Access Memory. This change follows what many tech companies are doing—moving toward better firmware that boosts security and handles big storage drives. Before buying these fancy new graphics cards, check if your computer uses UEFI and has drives set up with GPT instead of the older MBR format.
UEFI beats old-school BIOS in many ways. It gives you actual graphics instead of just text, adds secure boot protection, and lets you use drives bigger than 2.2 TB. Old BIOS systems just do simple stuff - they...
Steam just broke another record! On March 3, 2025, they reached over 40 million people online at once - exactly 40,270,997, according to SteamDB. This beats their previous high from December 2024, when they hit 39 million. These huge numbers show how strong their backend systems really are. Their networks handle this massive traffic thanks to years of updates and improvements. They've worked hard on server distribution and load balancing to keep everything running smoothly. Plus, they've made sure their software works great across Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices since they launched their app back in 2012.
The growth numbers tell an amazing story. Back in 2015, Steam peaked at just under 9 million concurrent users. By 2021...
The Hawks, South Africa's elite crime-fighting unit, just dropped a bombshell. They've opened four separate cases of high treason. Why? Apparently, some folks have been spreading bogus information about South Africa's Expropriation Act in the United States.
Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya, the head honcho at the Hawks, spilled the beans to the SABC. He said different people from different political parties filed the complaints. "They're talking about individuals who might've hopped across the border to go and say some stuff that could be seen as high treason," Lebeya explained.
When asked if the people in question are part of AfriForum, a lobby group, Lebeya played it coy. He wouldn't name names or organizations. But he did say that...
Zimbabwe's parliament wants answers about the country's corruption problem, and they want them now. They're calling on Ziyambi Ziyambi, the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, to appear before the National Assembly and explain what's being done to fight corruption.
This all came up because of a recent report that said Zimbabwe is the most corrupt country in southern Africa. And it's not just that report - Transparency International, the global corruption watchdog, ranks Zimbabwe as one of the worst in the world when it comes to corruption.
It's a real slap in the face for President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who promised to wipe out corruption when he took over back in 2017. But it looks like he hasn't made much progress...
The 2025 tobacco selling season is off to a strong start in Harare. It kicked off on Wednesday with the first bale going for an impressive US$4.65. That's a big jump from last year's opening price of US$4.35. It's looking like tobacco farmers are in for a good year.
Patrick Davenish, the chairman of the Tobacco Industry Marketing Board (TIMB), laid it all out at the official opening ceremony. He said there are 32 buyers and 43 contractors ready to snap up the golden leaf at 56 selling points all over Zimbabwe.
Davenish made it clear that TIMB is doing everything it can to make sure all tobacco growers have a fair shot at selling their crops. They're constantly talking with stakeholders to find ways to make the market even more...
Dr. Dorothy Tembo, a professor at the University of Malawi, wants high school students in Zomba to start dreaming big about their futures. She's urging them to hit the books hard so they can actually make those dreams come true.
Dr. Tembo shared this knowledge at a conference for secondary school students put together by Everlasting Life Ministry. The whole thing was about "transforming yourself to transform others." She credited the ministry with setting up the event because it helps kids set their sights on serious career goals.
The professor's message was pretty simple: put God first and work your butt off in school. That way, you can ace your Malawi School Certificate of Education exams and snag a spot at a government university...
Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera just clapped back at popular musician Patience Namadingo. Last week at the State of the Nation Address in Blantyre, Namadingo straight up asked Chakwera if he's really the leader he said he'd be. He even questioned if the president should keep running the country.
Chakwera wasn't about to let that slide. He fired back with a list of all the stuff his administration has accomplished. He's also talking up his plans for the future to show he's the real deal when it comes to moving Malawi forward.
One of the big things on Chakwera's list is building schools. He wants to make sure every kid in Malawi can get a good education. That means tackling the problem of not enough classrooms all over the country...
