A Tech Affair episode 238: Deepseek, Nvidia's RTX 50 series, "Severance", "Sniper Elite Resistance"
Deepseek sends a tremor through the stock market. Benchmarks for Nvidia's new graphics cards make you sit up and take notice. "Severance" gets off to a flying start in its second season and "Sniper Elite Resistance" teaches anatomy.
Deepseek appears out of nowhere and causes the stock market and tech industry to tremble. The Chinese AI model quickly shot to the top of the app stores and sent US shares plummeting. What makes Deepseek so impressive and what does it mean for ChatGPT and co. The new graphics cards from Nvidia also rely on a lot of AI. The benchmarks for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 have been received somewhat cautiously. The exorbitant prices are not least to blame.
We watched the first episodes of the new season of "Severance". The story of a company that splits the consciousness of its employees continues in a gripping and surreal way.
The bullets in "Sniper Elite Resistance" fly in a much straighter line as they crash through the heads of Nazis in X-ray view. The game does little new, but even tried-and-tested fare can taste good.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
