- Intel has officially announced its plans to fire all the useless freeloaders and force employees to actually show up at the office and do their jobs. (Tom's Hardware)|
Employees will be required to be in the office four days a week starting in September, a goal likely easier to achieve when the company is also expected to be firing 20% of its workforce.

- AMD reportedly has a 12GB cut-down model of the Radeon 9070 ready to go. (Tom's Hardware)
This will deliver three quarters of everything on the 9070, and neatly plug the gap between the regular 9070 and the upcoming 9060, which will only have half the performance of the 9070.

"Employees will be required to be in the office four days a week starting in September"
When I was hired at my current job, the current c-level management had a bee in their bonnet about "back to office" so I had to move all the way across the country and be in the office 4 days a week.
The rest of my team consist of a consultant who's been working for us for 10-15 years, and two people who were hired after me, and also after the CEO was replaced, and who live/work from New Jersey and India. So all that stuff about being in the office fostering collaboration and stuff? None of my teammates are within 500 miles of me.
