Micro Center soft opened its Silicon Valley store with a truckload of GPUs.
The grand opening is tomorrow at 10AM PT, but you can already go shop — I even got a special look inside its GPU-filled stockroom! There's a buttload of cards, including an RTX 5090 signed by Jensen (not for sale), plenty of AMD 9070, and it'll have 'very limited quantities' of Founders Edition (including the 5090 FE) tomorrow. Maybe open the boxes before you leave, though.
The highlight for me: a giant motorized revolving 3D filament wall which dispenses your color of choice.

Ford Escalates Battery Job Warnings as Congress Mulls EV Cuts
Ford Motor Co. intensified its campaign to preserve clean energy manufacturing subsidies Monday, warning jobs at its electric-vehicle battery plant in southwestern Michigan could be at risk if Republicans in Congress pare back tax credits in President Donald Trump's multi-trillion dollar economic package. The $3 billion plant in Marshall, about 100 miles west of Detroit, is slated to produce 20 gigawatt-hours of lithium iron phosphate, or LFP batteries, and employ 1,700 people after it starts production in 2026. The 2 million-square-foot site, which is still under construction, has drawn intense political scrutiny since it was announced in 2023 because Ford is licensing the technology to build the batteries from China's Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd, the world's largest battery manufacturer.
