PCWorld

PCWorld reports on Noctua's collaboration with Pulsar to create the Feinmann FO1, a $180 gaming mouse featuring an integrated 40mm cooling fan. The mouse includes premium specs like 42,000 DPI and 8,000Hz polling rate, while the fan blows air through speed holes to cool users' hands during gaming. This unconventional design represents a unique approach to gaming comfort, though the premium pricing reflects the specialized Noctua branding and cooling technology. Noctua, the Austrian cooling supplier known for its very quiet brown fans, is something of a darling of the PC industry.


Lindt's Easter chocolate sales fall after price hike

BBC News

Lindt has partially U-turned on its decision to hike prices after Easter chocolate sales dropped. The Swiss chocolate maker said a necessary groupwide price surge of 11.8% was one of the reasons revenue shrank in the first half of this year, particularly in the UK, Germany, and Switzerland. It also blamed weaker Easter demand and a drop in tourism from Asia and the Middle East due to geopolitical uncertainties. In response, it said it has adjusted prices and boosted marketing in certain regions for the second half of the year. Around Easter, Lindt is known for its chocolate rabbits wrapped in gold-coloured foil and decorated with a red ribbon and bell on their necks.

Nvidia Wants to Own Every Chip Inside AI Data Centers

WIRED

Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform combines CPUs and GPUs into a single system, reflecting the company's growing ambition to power every layer of AI infrastructure. Nvidia is hyping up its new Vera Rubin chip system this week, revealing new performance benchmarks for the GPU and CPU combo ahead of rival AMD's annual product event in San Francisco on Thursday. During a lengthy technical workshop last week at the company's headquarters in Santa Clara, California, Nvidia executives boasted to a small group of journalists about the chip system's increased power and efficiency capabilities. The biggest takeaway: Nvidia, which has long specialized in making GPUs, is increasingly trying to position itself as a supplier of CPUs that can power AI agents. While GPUs are still the main hardware that companies use to train and run their AI models, the industry's shift toward more complex, agentic systems has increased demand for CPUs, which can orchestrate data flows, networking, and other software tasks.

Al Jazeera

Japan's AI gamble: Can technology offset the cost of an ageing society? Beneath the business towers of Tokyo's Otemachi district, a test is taking place to see whether artificial intelligence can help solve one of Japan's biggest economic challenges: a shrinking workforce. Deep underground, Marunouchi Heat Supply Company operates a 30km (18.6-mile) network of heating and cooling pipelines serving offices, commercial buildings and transport facilities in one of Japan's most important business areas. The company is now using AI to manage this complex infrastructure with the goal of moving towards more automated operations by 2027. Developed with the Tokyo-based AI company Preferred Networks, the project uses PlantPilot, an AI system trained on historical operating data and the expertise of experienced engineers.
