Nintendo is updating the original Switch with a new CPU and storage
Nintendo just announced a smaller, cheaper version of the Switch today, but the Switch Lite may not be the only trick up Nintendo’s sleeves — the original Nintendo Switch is also getting a new processor and new flash storage chips, according to filings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The new chips could mean fewer slowdowns, faster load times, longer battery life, less heat… or perhaps none of these things.

A New Ransomware Is Targeting Network Attached Storage (NAS) Devices
A new ransomware family has been found targeting Linux-based Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices made by Taiwan-based QNAP Systems and holding users’ important data hostage until a ransom is paid, researchers told The Hacker News.
Ideal for home and small business, NAS devices are dedicated file storage units connected to a network or through the Internet, which allow users to store and share their data and backups with multiple computers.
Third parties confirm AMD’s outstanding Ryzen 3000 numbers
AMD debuted its new Ryzen 3000 desktop CPU line a few weeks ago at E3, and it looked fantastic. For the first time in 20 years, it looked like AMD could go head to head with Intel’s desktop CPU line-up across the board. The question: would independent, third-party testing back up AMD’s assertions?
When comparing two CPUs, you should generally be looking at three golden criteria: price, performance, and power consumption. It’s fairly easy to win on a single criterion—for example, even in the Piledriver era, comparing an FX-9590 to an i7-4770 could get you an anemic multi-threaded performance win. But the Piledriver part cost more than the Intel one and consumed tremendously more power. Moving forward to the Ryzen 2 era, things got much closer to even: when comparing a Ryzen 7 2700 vs an Intel i7-8700, the Intel CPU takes the performance win, and power consumption is relatively even, but the AMD part has a big price advantage. This is arguably an even heat for that particular lineup—but if you care more about performance, moving the AMD side up to a Threadripper 2950x brings you to an enormous win for Intel on both power consumption and price.

Father and son build Lamborghini Aventador using 3D printer for just £16,000 – saving a whopping £255,000
Sterling Backus was inspired to build the supercar after his son said he liked it when they were playing video game Forza Horizon 3.
But as he didn’t have the budget to buy a brand-new Aventador, valued at more than £270,000, he decided to get creative.
Despite having no experience, the physicist turned to 3D printing to build the impressive motor.
