A GPU with more memory? In this economy?

Nvidia is launching a 12GB version of its RTX 5070 laptop GPU, to go along with the existing 8GB configuration. Nvidia’s blog post explains how this will actually help supply during the RAM shortage:

In order to maximize memory availability, we are releasing the GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU 12GB configuration with 24Gb G7 memory. This gives our partners access to an additional pool of memory to complement the 16Gb G7 supply that currently ships with most GeForce GPUs. The 12GB configuration will exist alongside the current 8GB configuration, and allows our partners to bring a broader range of GeForce RTX 5070 laptops to consumers.

Behold the crown jewel of outrageous gaming laptops

Robots are ready to lose your luggage at Haneda Airport.

Japan Airlines will start trialling Unitree robots for moving luggage and cargo in May, with the experiment running until 2028.

It’s a lovely morning in the village, and you are a chaotic robot.

Tiny Delivery is a cozy adventure game by indie developer Sinica that has big Untitled Goose Game vibes. Instead of an evil bird, you play a small robot courier “with a big job and questionable methods,” according to the Steam listing, with a release window set for Q3 - Q4 2026.
