AMD continues to deliver record CPU sales, and CEO Lisa Su thinks they'll keep on going. The weird thing is that AMD is now officially an AI company, so that's all analysts wanted to talk about. www.pcworld.com/article/2962...

AMD expects record CPU sales to keep growing

AMD reported record revenues in the client space for the third quarter of 2025, and its gaming business soared as well. Yet analysts focused exclusively on the data center and AI.

If I heard correctly, gaming revenue is expected to be down "strong double digits" but client revenue increasing.

The semi-custom increase is preparation for the holiday sales season, Su says.

Desktop CPU sales reached an all-time high, and Ryzen notebooks also increased sharply, AMD CEO Lisa Su says.

When Data Center outperforms Client and Gaming by $300M, you begin the call with Data Center details ;)

Well, that and AI.

Battlefield now has a dad mode for people like me who can't keep up with the kids. www.pcworld.com/article/2960...

Battlefield 6's new 'dad mode' replaces trash-talkers with bot armies

Battlefield 6 has added a "Casual Breakthrough" mode with a reduced number of human players per team. Bots will make up the bulk of the players, who will still earn experience (XP) points.

This is a brilliant thread. Worth reading.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

I'm pretty sure it was this Dick Cheney comic that got me fired from The Washington Post. It was the first time they refused to run one of my weekly comics (after over ten years), and my comic was discontinued soon after.

If you want to know one reason that I'm a college football fan, look back at the World Series. The stuck ball. The short lead. 18-inning games. Lore. Weirdness.

The NFL is professional and boring. CFB is 5OT games, the Piss and Miss, the Kick Six, Belichick's GF. Lore. Weirdness.

Q: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?"

Trump: "No. I think they haven't gone far enough”

My (media!) company had just gone public, and I made about $35K or so. I owned Gran Turismo (might have been GT2) and the Subaru Impreza 2.5RS was a cheap, fun, starter car. So I literally bought one in 2000 for $27K. (I was young.)

25 years later, still have it

gran turismo 1 had such a vibe. and it aged like wine. those cars were contemporary at the time, but now the whole game is kind of an artifact, a snapshot of automotive history and culture in '98. well deserved success

I honestly can't believe what Yamamoto is doing here. He pitched last night! My arm would feel like jello the day after I pitched. I mean, he iced last night, right?

OMG THIS GAME

Extra innings in Game 7 of the World Series!

Fourth down stop and then they throw a pick six the next play to ice it.
