 This comfy mesh office chair I've been testing costs less than $400 — but there's a worthy alternative that's far more affordable

SIHOO upgraded its Doro C300 mesh office chair in the form of a new Pro version, and while it's certainly comfy and competitively priced, I'm not sure it's worth the upcharge over the standard version.

 Gigabyte quietly disables Gen5 PCIe 5.0 GPU support on B650 motherboards in F35 BIOS update — Stay on F34 if you value the unofficial PCIe 5.0 support

Gigabyte has removed unofficial PCIe 5.0 support from its B650 motherboards in the latest BIOS update, citing stability concerns. While PCIe 4.0 remains sufficient for most GPUs, the move highlights AMD’s strict chipset segmentation and could signal similar changes from other vendors.

Show HN: AI Physics Tutor with Free Body Diagrams

Hi HN. I built a prototype AI physics tutor that can interpret, draw, and edit free body diagrams.

Lately I've been transfixed with generating diagrams with LLMs. If you pipe generated JSON through a D3.js renderer, you can get pretty consistent SVG results with the smarter models.

This physics tutor prototype is an example of an application. For a couple premade scenes, you can ask it to make an FBD, decompose an angled force into components, run through the math of Newton's Second Law,

Show HN: Voltpeek – Vim-inspired oscilloscope software

This is software for my headless, PC based oscilloscope, which is controlled entirely via commands similar to the Vim text editor.
