AMD Ryzen release date, news and features: everything you need to know
Now that we’ve had almost a year to observe AMD Ryzen, and have seen some bizarre releases, like being packaged with liquid cooling solutions, it’s clear that AMD has completely delivered on its promise of providing more bang for the buck with this latest generation of processors.But now, as we’re seeing AMD gear up to release its follow-up to the first generation of Ryzen processors with the appropriately named Ryzen 2nd Generation CPUs, we can’t wait to see what’s next for Ryzen. Especially after we’ve seen a leaked benchmark for the Ryzen 5 2600 that shows 200Mhz core clock gains over the Ryzen 5 1600.This is perhaps due to the fact that the Ryzen 2nd Generation CPUs will be utilizing AMD’s new 12nm Zen+ architecture that promises faster speeds across the board.And now, following the release of the Ryzen 5 2400G, Ryzen CPUs finally have onboard graphics that can rival a low-to-mid-tier discrete graphics card.

Litecoin Leads Crypto Rebound On News That LitePay Is Coming Feb 26
In sharp contrast to early February’s dramatic crash, the cryptocurrency markets are on the rise again. Nearly every top-100 cryptocurrency is in the green today, and Litecoin is soaring with 30% gains in the last day because LitePay is just around the corner.

People who know how the news is made resist conspiratorial thinking
Conspiracy theories, like the world being flat or the Moon landings faked, have proven notoriously difficult to stomp out. Add a partisan twist to the issue, and the challenge becomes even harder. Even near the end of his second term, barely a quarter of Republicans were willing to state that President Obama was born in the US. If we're seeking to have an informed electorate, then this poses a bit of a problem. But a recent study suggests a very simple solution helps limit the appeal of conspiracy theories: news media literacy. This isn't knowledge of the news, per se, but knowledge of the companies and processes that help create the news. While the study doesn't identify how the two are connected, its authors suggest that an understanding of the media landscape helps foster a healthy skepticism. Literate News media literacy is the catch-all term for understanding how bias, unconscious or otherwise, influences the creation and consumption of news. This includes an awareness of the … [Read more...] about People who know how the news is made resist conspiratorial thinking
