Images spun up with DALL-E and other OpenAI services will include a visual watermark and other details about its origin in the metadata—information encoded in the generated file. Here’s the problem: all you have to do to remove the metadata watermark is take a screenshot. That means OpenAI’s “solution” could leave you more…

A court in Germany has issued an injunction against the sale of some of Intel's chips, in a patent dispute between the tech giant and another US company that filed the complaint.The regional court in Dusseldorf ruled in favour of California-based R2 Semiconductor in a case involving voltage regulators, a court spokesperson said, confirming an earlier report in the Financial Times.Elevate Your Tech Prowess with High-Value Skill CoursesOffering CollegeCourseWebsiteMITMIT Technology Leadership and InnovationVisitIndian…

Samsung is facing intense competition in the semiconductor market, largely due to TSMC's increasing competitiveness as well as Intel's comeback. The supply glut in the memory market and resulting price declines have already been quite painful for the company. It didn't help that Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong's absence due to his legal troubles prevented Samsung from making major investment decisions. Meanwhile, both TSMC and Intel ramped up their investments and production capacities to turn up the heat on Samsung.…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends During the pandemic, processors sold like hotcakes — but the demand came to an abrupt halt in late 2022 and early 2023. However, according to the latest report from Jon Peddie Research, CPUs are once again doing better, with a notable increase in shipments. Still, these gains aren’t consistent across the board, which reveals a trend that’s most likely going to stick around. The improvements are substantial. Jon Peddie Research reports a 7% quarter-to-quarter increase in CPU shipments, but…

But this approach to chipmaking poses a bigger challenge for another sector of the semiconductor industry: packaging, which is the process that assembles multiple components of a chip and tests the finished device’s performance. Making sure multiple chiplets can work together requires more sophisticated packaging techniques than those involved in a traditional single-piece chip. The technology used in this process is called advanced packaging.  This is an easier lift for China. Today, Chinese companies are already…

HP Spectre x360 14-inch and 16-inch laptops have received new hardware in India. The HP Spectre x360 series come in a 2-in-1 convertible form factor and offer AI-enhanced features.

Both HP Spectre x360 14 and HP Spectre x360 16 feature up to 2.8K OLED screens with up to 120Hz refresh rate. They boast a 9-megapixel web camera as well.HP Spectre x360 16, HP Spectre x360 14 price in…

Luke Larsen / Digital Trends Even if your PC is getting old, it doesn’t have to mean that playing the latest games is out of the question. While some performance-boosting features were previously reserved for those who own one of the best GPUs or one of the top processors, modders have now stepped in to change that narrative. As a result, a mod enables using Nvidia’s DLSS 3 (or rather, AMD’s FSR 3) on much older graphics cards. Confusing? Don’t worry, it makes a lot more sense than it seems, and you could use it to…

HP recently released an interesting all-in-one that trades in performance and power for portability and ease of use. The pitch for the HP Envy Move All-in-One is that it’s a PC you can take with you anywhere without having to plug it into anything. While it is a novel idea, does that justify the steep $1200 price? Not if you’re looking for serious performance.Let me start by clarifying that the $1200 one is the configuration sent to us and is also the most high-end out of the entire line. The machine starts from $900, and…

Apple Vision Pro’s exciting Mac Virtual Display feature does in fact work with older Intel Macs, however, the feature is limited to 3K resolution, rather than the 4K supported by Apple silicon. Apple Vision Pro’s Mac Virtual Display was touted from day one as one of the most exciting use cases for the spatial computing headset. Connected to any of Apple’s best MacBooks or desktops, Apple Vision Pro shows your Mac’s display “wirelessly, creating an enormous, private, and portable 4K display with incredibly crisp…

AMD AMD has clawed its way up from many disasters. Always chasing Nvidia and Intel, the so-called Team Red stayed strong over the years and found its niche in the PC market, a niche that has seemingly worked well, especially over the past few years. Despite these valiant efforts, this past year has made me worry about the future of AMD, and the beginning of the year so far has only confirmed some of my worries. Processing the past Jacob Roach / DigitalTrends In the past year and some, AMD has had some wins, but it…
