This means that, in theory, it will connect directly to your smart home…

However, a new report indicates that we might see an increase in GPU prices, especially on the cards made by Nvidia’s add-in board partners (AIBs). Is it time to start worrying about another GPU shortage? Not quite, but it might be better to shop now before it gets worse. The grim news…

Image: Canon Canon is targeting video content creators with the announcement of its EOS R50 vlogging kit.
