It seems counterintuitive to want to bring Rust close to metal but that is exactly what the next revolution in GPU processing will entail.  AMD has posted a rather lucrative job…

NVIDIA appears determined to not only control the proverbial pickaxes (GPUs) in the ongoing AI gold rush but also the mining infrastructure itself, replete with acquiring one of the biggest distribution layers for open-weight models - Hugging Face. NVIDIA's latent desire is to become the go-to compute provider for running inference on models hosted on Hugging Face As stated earlier, NVIDIA has just inked an agreement to acquire Hugging Face for $12.93 billion.

Mobile gaming no longer has to mean relying on a phone’s touchscreen for every game. GXTrust Rovix Bluetooth Wireless Mobile Gaming Controller has been launched, giving iPhone and Android users a more traditional way to play games while traveling, commuting, or simply relaxing at home.

The GXTrust Rovix connects to smartphones through Bluetooth 5.0 and is designed to work with controller-supported iOS and Android games. It can also be used for cloud gaming, including PlayStation and Xbox titles, while PC game streaming lets users access their computer games directly from a phone.

Hall Effect Controls and Extra Buttons

A major feature of the GXTrust Rovix is its use of Hall effect joysticks and pressure-sensitive Hall effect triggers. These controls are designed to offer accurate input and avoid the stick drift issues that can affect conventional analog sticks over time. The controller also has 20 responsive buttons, including two programmable buttons on the back that can give players additional controls during gameplay.

This setup makes the Rovix more suitable for games that require quick and precise inputs. Instead of constantly reaching for touchscreen controls, players can use physical sticks, triggers, and buttons in a layout closer to what they would expect from a traditional gaming controller.

Built for Gaming on the Go

GXTrust has also designed the Rovix around portability. The controller comes with a rubberized, spring-loaded phone clamp that is built to hold smartphones securely while playing. Since the phone sits directly in the controller, players can carry a setup that is much closer to a handheld gaming device without needing a separate screen.

A built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 12 hours of playtime, according to GXTrust. That should be enough for extended gaming sessions without needing to constantly recharge the controller, making it particularly useful for travel and longer periods away from home.

Customization and Price

The GXTrust Rovix also gives users a few ways to personalize the controller. GXTrust includes two pairs of swappable magnetic faceplates, while the D-pad can also be changed depending on the player’s preferred style and feel. A protective hard case is included as well, which should make carrying the controller safer when traveling.

The GXTrust Rovix Bluetooth Wireless Mobile Gaming Controller is available now with an RRP of €59.99. With Hall effect controls, programmable rear buttons, wireless connectivity, a 12-hour battery, and support for both Android and iPhone, GXTrust is positioning the Rovix as a flexible option for mobile gamers who want a more console-like experience from their smartphone.

Andreessen Horowitz has two partners sitting on the boards of companies that now compete with each other: Ben Horowitz at Databricks and Martin Casado at Fivetran. Nothing too scandalous on the surface, except the Department of Justice has reportedly been investigating the arrangement for almost a year, dusting off a 112-year-old antitrust law that’s rarely used against VCs.  Board conflicts aren’t exactly new, and these companies weren’t necessarily direct competitors when a16z first invested […]
