In a nutshell: Raspberry Pi released its first official display nine years ago. The company is now providing a mild upgrade to the original accessory, with better specs and a high level of compatibility with different Pi generations. Best of all, it remains at the same low price. The recently introduced Raspberry Pi Touch Display

A hot potato: The block function on X has now joined the long list of things that have changed since Elon Musk took over and killed Twitter. Now, blocking someone won’t prevent them from seeing your public posts. All it does is stop them from interacting with you. It was revealed last month that X

The big picture: Numerous mysteries remain regarding black holes, with astronomers particularly interested in the formation of the oldest black holes in the early universe. Recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope could shed light on how supermassive black holes began forming so quickly after the Big Bang. A recently published study describes an

We’ve seen this movie before: It’s been a while since we’ve heard the phrase, “Too big to fail.” While the US government has learned to avoid that language because of its negative connotations, that is not stopping it from considering running the same end-game play from 2008 – using taxpayer-funded subsidies to keep a large

In context: Several recent experiments have broadened the potential applications for 3D printing. Although most users wouldn’t consider hot glue a viable building material, it has important similarities to other compounds. Designing a workable hot glue 3D printer might solve problems that prevent using different alternatives. 3D printers are sometimes compared to hot glue guns,

In context: Advanced vector extensions are a type of “single instruction, multiple data” extension to the x86 instruction set architecture, implemented by Intel and AMD in modern CPUs. These instructions can significantly enhance parallel processing workloads, especially when used with 512-bit registers and other advanced features available in the AVX-512 instruction set. The FFmpeg team

In brief: Asus is rolling out an update for select motherboards that enables a new feature called Turbo Game Mode. As the name suggests, the mode is designed to boost performance in certain games when combined with select processors. As Computer Base highlights, enabling Turbo Game Mode in the BIOS disables a processor’s second core

In brief: The generative AI revolution means demand for data centers has skyrocketed. Increasing the number of these facilities is raising environmental concerns, not just from the power they require, but also from their construction. In an attempt to make its data centers greener, Microsoft is testing one made out of wood. Rather than using

Something to look forward to: Thanks to its DLSS tech, which has become something of a gold standard, Nvidia has always led the charge when it comes to upscaling and denoising techniques for boosting performance in demanding ray-traced game scenes. But AMD hasn’t been sitting idle – Team Red has steadily improved its own FSR
