This episode of hardware news talks about scammy (and funny) power supplies, including fake "90 Plus certifications," alongside AMD Raven Ridge 2400G & 2200G price, specs, and more.

Our weekly hardware news update focuses on these primary topics:

AMD Ryzen R5 2400G & 2200G APU specs (Raven Ridge), Raven Ridge Vega specs, and a Vega APU block diagram. We also talk 2400G & 2200G prices. Launch is Monday, 2/12. We don't discuss performance or benchmarks on the Raven Ridge APUs yet, but will soon enough, as we have the 2400G & 2200G coming in for review and benchmarking.

Newegg has changed its affiliate program and affiliate commission, now ridding of graphics card commission, citing "unexpected Bitcoin popularity."

Intel is pushing more Spectre & Meltdown updates. The new updates should hopefully fix issues with Broadwell & Haswell CPUs rebooting after applying the Spectre BIOS patches.

We also saw scam "90 Plus" and "95 Plus Gold" power supplies on AliExpress, kind of a fun thing to look around at. Of course, these were branded as "cryptocurrency" mining power supplies.

Backblaze released hard drive failure rates for 2017, showing the best hard drives (in reliability) for the last year.

Links to Amazon and Newegg are typically monetized on our channel (affiliate links) and may return a commission of sales to us from the retailer. This is unrelated to the product manufacturer. Any advertisements or sponsorships are disclosed within the video ("this video is brought to you by") and above the fold in the description. We do not ever produce paid content or "sponsored content" (meaning that the content is our idea and is not funded externally aside from whatever ad placement is in the beginning) and we do not ever charge manufacturers for coverage.
