Crazy or not?

HP unveiled an unusual new device at CES 2026: a keyboard that also functions as a full Windows PC.

The device, called the HP EliteBoard G1a, hides a mini PC inside a regular-looking keyboard running Windows 11.

Designed for hybrid and desk-based workers, it connects directly to external monitors. Instead of carrying a laptop, users can plug the keyboard directly into a display and start working.

The device supports upgradeable RAM and storage, multiple 4K displays, and optional battery power for short-term portability.

HP says the idea is to offer a simpler, more portable alternative to traditional laptops and desktops.

What’s App has never been a trustworthy platform.

📱 Cybersecurity researchers warn that a new Ethernidade Stealer banking trojan is spreading through WhatsApp messages in Brazil, tricking users into installing malware that targets desktop systems and financial data.

⚠️ The attack begins with an obfuscated VBScript that loads a Python-based WhatsApp worm, allowing attackers to steal contacts, auto-send messages, and silently propagate the trojan to new victims.

🏦 Once installed, the Delphi-based stealer focuses on banking and financial apps such as Santander, Itaú, Caixa, Bradesco, as well as Binance and MercadoPago, but only runs on systems set to Brazilian Portuguese.

🧠 Researchers say the malware is highly advanced, featuring command-and-control discovery, process hollowing, antivirus evasion, and detailed host and browser data collection for targeted financial theft.

🌍 Although aimed at Brazil, experts warn that desktop users worldwide could be affected if they run unknown scripts or MSI files via WhatsApp. Avoid suspicious links, remove sensitive data from chats, and stay alert.

Not everyone really needs the latest and greatest but, it is fun!

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D will bring a boost in clock speed over the 9800X3D and, unsurprisingly, will come with a higher price, too.
Thankfully, the difference isn't huge, but if you were hoping the 9850X3D would slot in at the same price as the 9800X3D, and that the latter would see a drop as a result, you're seemingly out of luck 💸 👇

Everything with RAM can be expected to increase in price.

G.SKILL published a statement regarding their price increase in a recent blog post "𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙂.𝙎𝙆𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝘿𝙍𝘼𝙈 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 (𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 2025 𝙌4)". The post is below in full:

DRAM prices are experiencing significant industry-wide volatility, due to severe global supply constraints and shortages, driven by unprecedented high demand from the AI industry.

As a result, G.SKILL procurement and sourcing costs have substantially increased. G.SKILL pricing reflect industry-wide component cost increases from IC suppliers and is subject to change without notice based on market conditions.

Purchasers should be mindful of the pricing before purchasing. Thank you.
