A Kenyan politician wants to celebrate a dead opposition leader's birthday like a national holiday. Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho announced a gathering to mark what would have been Raila Odinga's eighty-first birthday, calling the late leader a symbol of resilience. Supporters and other politicians are expected to meet to honor Odinga's life and his impact on the country's democracy.
Joho stated the event would reflect on the former Prime Minister's long career, framing it as a lesson in perseverance over personal comfort. He argued Odinga's true legacy lives through the many people he mentored, not just his own achievements. The Cabinet Secretary claimed the leader's focus on justice and accountability continues to influence current...
Gigabyte built a deceptively small RTX 5090 that hides a third fan. The new AORUS Infinity model uses a clever triple-fan cooler packed into a compact triple-slot design. It employs a white, black, and silver color scheme with circular vents on top for airflow.
The card is built around NVIDIA's Founders Edition PCB, notable for its vertically mounted power connector. Its cooling system, called Windforce Hyperburst, uses two main Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and special heat pipes. A third fan sits in the center of the shroud, labeled as an Overdrive fan for extra cooling during heavy loads. The thermal interface material is a composite metal grease.
This design aims to deliver full RTX 5090 performance and beyond within a smaller...
MSI is going all-in on a monochrome aesthetic with a new batch of white gear. Their expanded PRO Max lineup now features a suite of matching white components and systems for a fully coordinated build. This covers everything from monitors and cases to power supplies and desktops, all sporting a consistent glacier-white color scheme.
The highlight is a 27-inch QD-OLED monitor promising high color accuracy for creators, alongside features to reduce screen burn-in and glare. For a complete system, they offer the PRO Max 80 AI+ and 150 AI+ desktops. These use upcoming AMD Ryzen AI 300 chips and NVIDIA RTX 50 series graphics, though likely not the highest-end models. They focus on security with physical lock support and a function to disable...
MSI just dropped a monster GPU, and it drinks power like crazy. The freshly announced RTX 5090 Lightning Z is their limited-edition flagship, pushing up to a thousand watts. This card is built for extreme overclocking with a wild 40-phase VRM design and multiple power modes. A standard overclock pushes 800 watts, while an Extreme Mode lets it hit that full 1000W draw. There is even a separate 2500W BIOS for competitive overclockers, which instantly voids the warranty. MSI suggests using a power supply of 1600 watts or more with this thing.
Cooling this beast requires serious hardware. The card uses a sealed liquid cooling system with a 360 millimeter radiator. Its main innovation is a full-copper base plate that directly contacts the...
The ARK devs just did a massive info dump, and the Switch 2 port is hanging by a thread. Studio Wildcard’s Jeremy Stieglitz spilled everything in a giant interview, covering the rocky launch of ARK Survival Ascended, a huge new expansion, and a desperate scramble for better performance. The developer admitted the game’s release was rough, with complaints about content, performance, and a lack of new material. Over two years, they tried to fix it by upgrading old maps like Ragnarok and Valguero, and by adding new stuff like the Lost Colony expansion and the Bob’s Tall Tales mini-updates.
Performance remains a big headache. The game runs about fifty percent better now than at launch, but it is still not great. Their big hope is an...
The legal system stalled because witnesses ghosted the identity parade for the holidays. Five men appeared in Westonaria Magistrates' Court regarding the Bekkersdal tavern massacre that left ten people dead. Authorities charged the group with possessing unlicensed firearms and live ammo while obstructing justice. Lieutenant-Colonel Mavela Masondo admitted that investigators need more time since people who saw the shooters are currently out of the province.
Officers grabbed these guys on Christmas Eve. A search turned up four pistols and one AK-47 along with plenty of bullets. Masondo noted that similar weapons were utilized during the killings. Techs sent the guns for ballistic testing to see if the hardware matches the crime scene...
A chill hangout turned into a gardening tool murder scene when a 41-year-old man allegedly ended his pal in Bohlokong, Bethlehem, Free State. Warrant Officer Mmako Mophiring noted that the group sat drinking in a garage before things went south. The suspect accused the victim of sleeping with his girlfriend. Both guys grabbed yard equipment to fight.
They armed themselves utilizing a spade and a fork found nearby. The aggressor allegedly drove the sharp points into the other guy's face and then ran away. Friends rushed the injured man to a local hospital. Doctors could not save him because the facial wound proved fatal.
Officers went to the medical center to start digging for answers. The accused eventually surrendered to law...
The ruling party brass met up to decide what promises they will break next. High-ranking ANC leadership gathered in Rustenburg, North West, to finalize their yearly speech. This National Executive Committee session focused on the upcoming rally at Moruleng Stadium. It seems the main goal involves polishing the January 8 statement, which supposedly outlines priorities for the year. Mahlengi Bhengu noted that the group wanted to reflect on the message intended for the nation.
Bhengu claimed a draft was already floating around for input over the holidays. She expected a short meeting because everyone apparently already added their two cents to the collective paper. Regular citizens dealing with joblessness and service backlogs are...
Five dudes got busted sitting directly on top of a loaded gun. Captain Neldah Sekgobela confirmed that the Anti-Gang Unit spotted a sketchy group near William and Oxford roads in Reiger Park, Ekurhuleni. These guys sprinted into a house on Oxford Road to hide. Officers entered to find them chilling on a sofa, where someone stashed a 9mm Parabellum pistol with 15 rounds.
Authorities hauled the group to Reiger Park Police Station. Charges were filed for holding an unlicensed weapon along with ammunition.
This bust happened during Shanela II operations involving Ekurhuleni SAPS and Gauteng Traffic. Detectives snagged 137 suspects for various issues like contact crimes and gender-based violence. Other offenses involved drugs or drunk...
