Until recently, Intel was selling this CPU for almost $600. Core i9-12900K has fallen in price a lot
Intel seems to have decided to sell off the remaining Core i9-12900K processors, significantly reducing their price.
In the US, the novelty is now asking for $417 against the original $589. A similar decline was also recorded in Europe, where the price of the CPU fell from 750 to 500 euros.
Thus, now the Core i9-12900K has ceased to be a disadvantageous purchase. For comparison, in the US, for a similar performance Ryzen 9 5950X they ask for about $ 500, and even the Ryzen 9 5900X is a little more expensive. The Core i7-13700K, which is slightly faster than last year’s flagship, is also slightly more expensive, as is the new Ryzen 9 7900X. As a result, now the Core i9-12900K can be considered as one of the options, while at the old price it lost a lot to all the CPUs mentioned above in terms of price and performance.

Spied on Apple: Google will add to Android the ability to use a smartphone as a webcam for a PC
For some time now, Apple smartphones have been able to use them as a webcam paired with laptops or PCs. And now it is reported that the same feature will appear in Android 14. Mishaal Rahman, a journalist and developer, claims that DeviceAsWebcam will be added to the new system, which will turn an Android smartphone or tablet into a webcam.

Android devices that support the standard UVC (USB video class) mode will be able to stream the video stream, while all software processing will be done at the system level, that is, external applications such as Camo or DroidCam will not be required.
It is not yet clear whether this feature will be available to all smartphones with Android 14 or only the branded Pixel. If, nevertheless, the company decides not to make the feature exclusive, then all smartphones and tablets will receive support for this feature.

The next generation Mitsubishi Pajero Sport all-wheel-drive SUV should hit the market about 12 months after the release of the new Mitsubishi Triton (L200), according to the company’s production forecasts.
Internal documents seen by Drive indicate that the next Mitsubishi Pajero Sport – the first new model in the lineup in eight years – should arrive in Mitsubishi showrooms by the end of 2024 or as early as early 2025, in case of any delays.
The aforementioned next generation Mitsubishi Triton is due to be unveiled this year, with sales starting in 2023 or early 2024.
Details about the new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport are still few. Drive writes that the new model will largely copy the Triton, with which it shares much of its mechanical equipment. Both models will receive a single platform and common design elements.
The new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is expected to have a more modern look, as well as a longer wheelbase, which should allow for more interior space.
Questions about the engine, all-wheel drive system, brakes, suspension, turning radius and other characteristics remain open.
