For The Republic - Computer Enthusiasts United: 2026

David Shaw

Been blogging about Tech for a decade.

Successfully talked:

Microsoft into the Recovery Partition which meant not needing a physical disc. 'Windows 7 was your idea!'

Caused a minor stir in the tech industry with 'Real world Performance and What it means to you!'

NVidia into using sampling technology (honestly sent them around 50 feedback about this!) prior to DSR being announced, I had written about all this on the blog.

Corsair into making higher durability headsets.

AMD (maybe?) into upping the core count significantly. See blog article 'Whole lotta cores''

OCN Blogger for a couple of years. Did well over there, but one of the staff had a problem with me so..

Admin of FTR FB Group.

I'm sure there's more ..
