Don't everybody rush to San Jose at once. The impossible-to-find cards will only be sold to GTC attendees—apparently alongside merch shirts and puffy vests—who are already paying more than a thousand dollars for the cheapest ticket to see the newest industrial hardware from Nvidia and its partners. And no, those passes don't get you any discounts on the cards, some of which are from AIB partners and not the Founder's Edition GPUs that are going for nearly mythical retail prices.
Even Nvidia only has a couple thousand cards on hand—1,000 each for the RTX 5080 and 5090, according to Tom's Hardware. They're being sold in small batches at random times. One Twitter/X post from yesterday says that the store will sell 90 of them for the next 30 minutes.
GTC continues today and tomorrow, showing off mostly AI and industrial products, including some new Nvidia-branded desktops and mini PCs. The people who actually buy these cards will be mostly developers or otherwise poised to use them for something other than PC gaming. That said, it wouldn't be all that surprising if

Streaming service Plex is raising its prices for the first time in ten years. The company just announced an increase for its premium subscription service Plex Pass, which offers a number of additional features like offline access and themes. The standard service is still free, if you're looking to set up a simple media server to stream some movies or shows.
Plex Pass will soon cost $7 per month, which is an increase of $2 per month. A yearly subscription will come in at $70, a fairly substantial lift from $40. Finally, the coveted lifetime pass is shooting up to $250 from $120. These are some serious upticks, but I guess that's what happens when you don't raise prices for a decade.
The changes go into effect on April 29, so the Plex-curious still have more than a month to pick up a lifetime pass at the original $120 asking price. The monthly and yearly price impacts both new and pre-existing customers. The company says it's doing this to keep up with rising industry costs. Remote streaming is also set to fall under a subscription, albeit a cheaper one at $2 per month.
"These changes weren't made lightly, and we've spent a lot of time weighing the best path forward to ensure we can continue to balance value with a best-in-class personal media experience for years to come," a blog post from the company says.
However, there are some new tools coming to accompany these price increases. It's integrating with Common Sense Media to bring ratings and reviews aimed at parents to Plex Pass holders. It's also working on a new server management app that will launch in the near(ish) future. The primary playback is also getting a much-needed refresh.

It looks like Meta's campaign to bury a dishy, tell-all memoir from a former employee isn't exactly working. In fact, it seems that the company's legal maneuvers to block the book have had the exact opposite intended effect.
Careless People has debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list. It's also spent much of the week in the number three position on Amazon's bestseller list. That's despite the fact that Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former policy director at Facebook, has been barred from promoting or publicly discussing the book following legal action by Meta.
The memoir details much of the inner workings of Facebook during the nearly seven years Wynn-Williams worked there. It reveals new details about the company's relentless ambition to bring the social network to China, as well as numerous shocking stories about how Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and other executives behaved behind closed doors. (In addition to her revelations in Careless People, Wynn-Williams has als

Aiper's new Scuba X1 Pro Max is the most advanced cordless robotic pool cleaner you can get right now. Even better, it's also incredibly user-friendly, so you won't have any issues figuring out how to set it up.
There are 40 sensors in this robot and nine different motors that will help it map the pool to perfection and navigate the area with precision. The Scuba X1 Pro Max also delivers the world's strongest suction at 8500 GPH thanks to all those motors, efficiently capturing everything in its path. There's also a MicroMesh ultra-fine filter in place so none of the bugs, leaves, and debris in the water can escape.

One of the best things about the Scuba X1 Pro Max is that it will clean your entire pool, leaving nothing behind. While some pool cleaning robots will only tackle the walls, floor and waterline, this one handles the water surface, too. The extremely high suction power isn't just good at gathering up leaves, but it will also help the robot stay on the pool floor and adhere to walls to scrub algae and oil stains.
