It’s official: AMD’s Ryzen AI processors will not support Windows 10.

JBL PartyBox Stage 320 MSRP $600.00 “Roll it in. Turn it on. Turn it up. The JBL PartyBox Stage 320’s huge, clear sound and light show will do the rest.” Pros Loud, room-filling sound Superb clarity at high volumes Sturdy, solid build Auracast multispeaker connectivity Removable 18-hour battery Cons A bit pricey No Wi-Fi connectivity DJ sound effects are cheesy When I reviewed JBL’s monster flagship party speaker — the 1,100-watt PartyBox Ultimate –last year, I had my hair thoroughly blown back by its sheer power and pristine clarity.

The dollar bull narrative could be running short of arguments for the next leg higher, which, in turn, could be positive for gold, the World Gold Council said on Thursday. According to WGC data, gold posted a third consecutive monthly gain in May, rising by two per cent month-on-month to $2,348 per ounce.

But market activity remained supportive during the month, with net long managed money positions on COMEX…

Kenya’s 10 kilometres road race record holder Rhonex Kipruto has been banned for six years for doping and his world mark cancelled, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced on Wednesday. Kipruto was banned until May 10, 2029 after the AIU’s disciplinary tribunal ruled “irregularities in his Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) resulted from doping”.

The 24-year-old had been provisionally suspended on May 11 last year after irregularities in his biological passport…
