PSA of the week: Beware the used GPU market – for many reasons really. Listen in for fresh security corner scares and Gaming updates! The industry asks: please connect your appliances to the internet, won’t you? GPU sales break down in Germany, yes that’s fun too. Late breaking Intel Arc news! Plus way more.
