obsolete

Coburg University / AMD At GDC 2024, AMD just expanded on Microsoft’s recently announced Work Graphs API, and a quick demo shows just how powerful the new tech can be for gaming performance. AMD’s iteration moves draw calls and mesh nodes from the CPU to the GPU, cutting back on the time it takes to execute these tasks. As a result, AMD found that there was a massive performance improvement — rendering time saw a 64% boost — when using Work Graphs with mesh shaders. Microsoft introduced Work Graphs as a way to…

The world is accelerating fast and we — the consumers — are playing catch-up. New gadgets and software updates promise to make our lives better, so we follow the latest innovations with anticipation, hoping to find a way to integrate them into our daily routine.But as the trends march onward, some people choose the opposite approach and reject them, opting for things they have already been using for years. So when a thread emerged on Reddit, asking everyone to share the "obsolete" piece of technology they refuse to…

Today, Samsung announced the first sequel to your Galaxy A34. Predictably, it's called the Galaxy A35. And perhaps just as predictable is that it brings a few upgrades to both the exterior and the internal hardware. Visually speaking, the most striking difference between your Galaxy A34 and Samsung's new Galaxy A35 is that the 2024 model finally adopts an Infinity-O selfie camera design. So, if you really dislike the Infinity-U cutout, that's probably a good enough reason for you to want to upgrade to the latest model.…

Back in 2018, at Google’s I/O conference, I attended a session on the concept of Artificial General Intelligence—AI algorithms that could demonstrate humanlike fluency at all sorts of reasoning tasks, not just those it had been specifically trained to perform. Sitting in the back of a packed audience, my mind was suitably boggled at the prospect. And it would have been more boggled still if I knew that less than six years later, reasonable people would be debating whether AGI was imminent. Or maybe even already here. …

Despite all the hate the Galaxy S22 Ultra received initially, or rather, the Exynos 2200 chip did, Samsung's 2022 flagship phone has grown into somewhat of an icon in my eyes. And if you're not very interested in Galaxy AI yet, I'd say you can still get at least one or two years of decent usage out of this device — even if it runs on the Exynos 2200 SoC. The truth is that the Exynos 2200 performs a whole lot better now than it did at launch. Even if early criticism of this SoC may have been deserved, things got better…

Whether you’re a techno-optimist, realist, or pessimist, you can’t deny that the rise of artificial intelligence is shaking things up. The job industry is going through some major shifts. And, likely, this will only accelerate in the future. The International Monetary Fund warns that AI is going to affect nearly 40% of all jobs worldwide.Naturally, some folks are slightly worried about the future of their careers. Meanwhile, others are barely breaking a sweat. The r/AskReddit community recently chatted about the jobs…

Physical Apple Stores could become a thing of the past if Apple Vision Pro becomes more popular and if a new patent filed by Apple is implemented. As spotted by Patently Apple, Apple is exploring the idea of a virtual store for its headsets where users can interact with objects, moving them around and viewing them from different angles. This could mean being able to test out the size of devices like Apple Watches or iPhones. On physically tracking your hands in virtual Apple Stores, the patent says “With an XR system,…

“Any language is truly a living, constantly changing structure, especially when it comes to slang,” says Oleksiy Arkhireyev, a Ukrainian copywriter and novelist, who was asked by Bored Panda for a comment here. “And everything really depends on our perception. For example, in the '60s the word 'boomer' was perceived as the personification of everything young, progressive, full of energy, but now it has quite logically changed its meaning.”“On the other hand, we stop accepting new words in the language where we feel…

Today, was the end of an era, of sorts: That's because Apple added the mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro—the last model to include a built-in optical drive for reading and writing CDs or DVDs—to its list of products that it considers obsolete.Macrumors said that this MacBook Pro model, “remained for sale until October 2016 as a lower-priced option.”Apple says that it "discontinues all hardware service for obsolete products, and service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products." But Apple also says that, "Mac laptops…
