| Nvidia unveils Turing architecture and GPUs with dedicated ray-tracing hardware Posted: 13 Aug 2018 06:34 PM PDT  Nvidia has unveiled its new Turing architecture along with details of the first GPUs to use it. Turing includes dedicated "RT Core" hardware designed to drive ray tracing, a complex technique that can deliver extremely realistic lighting effects but has been prohibitively resource-intensive to render in real time. Nvidia calls the new Turing-based Quadro RTX the "world's first ray-tracing GPU" and claims it's the biggest leap since the company introduced CUDA in 2006. The Quadro RTX products are intended for high-end professional use, not gaming — the flagship Quadro RTX 8000 will cost $10,000 when it ships toward the end of the year. For that, you get a GPU with 48GB of new GDDR6 memory, 4,608 CUDA cores, and 576 Tensor cores. Nvidia... |
| Posted: 13 Aug 2018 03:40 PM PDT  Discourse on social media tends to follow a pattern. When it comes to Hollywood, the cycle starts with a casting announcement, or a new trailer, or a movie release — some high-level choice is publicized. Depending on the politics or representation involved, fans and critics react on social media and news sites with either celebration or vehement backlash. Sometimes Hollywood responds; mostly it doesn't. Then we wait for the next choice to be made. As consumers in this era, our relationship to art tends to be reactive because we're not privy to the decision-making process, much less the internal struggle an actor might face when deciding whether or not to sign onto a potentially controversial project. Over the weekend, Daredevil actor... |
| Trump signs bill banning government use of Huawei and ZTE tech Posted: 13 Aug 2018 03:33 PM PDT  Huawei and ZTE technology will largely be banned from use by the US government and government contractors. The ban was signed into placed by President Trump today as a component of the much larger Defense Authorization Act. This caps off months of will-they-won't-they from Republicans, many of whom view the two major Chinese telecoms as national security threats. In June, the Senate overwhelmingly passed an amendment that would have reinstated a trade ban on ZTE, potentially shutting down the company. The House, however, did not, and the big question was how the two chambers would find a compromise — or if they would drop the matter entirely. In the end, Congress decided on a measure that will essentially ban the US government or anyone... |
| Sony’s charging nearly $7,900 for a music player with a gold-plated volume knob Posted: 13 Aug 2018 03:04 PM PDT  At the Hong Kong High-End Audio Visual Show last week, Sony unveiled the newest additions to its Signature Series: a pair of snazzy looking in-ear headphones for more than $1,700, and a digital music player worth a whopping $7,882 to go along with it. For that money, the DMP-Z1 digital music player supports all hi-res music formats, includes an "audiophile-grade" headphone amp and even a gold-plated volume dial "to ensure absolute sonic purity." This thing even has gold in its solder "to enhance the signal flow." It's decked out with numerous top-of-the-line features and offers a "vinyl processor" that restores some warmth to digital music. Sony's DSEE HX processor can supposedly rebuild whatever audio — from... |
| Google still tracks you through the web if you turn off Location History Posted: 13 Aug 2018 02:21 PM PDT  You may have assumed that turning off Google's Location History option meant that Google is no longer tracking your movements. But the reality is that Google can continue to collect location data and even track you on a minute-by-minute basis, remembering your home address, and other places you've visited throughout the day, the Associated Press reports. AP found that Google continues to track you through services like Google Maps, weather updates, and browser searches — any app activity can be used to track you. By turning off Location History, you're only stopping Google from adding your movements to its Timeline feature, which visually logs where you've been. But there is a way to get Google to actually stop tracking you: by digging... |
| Bose’s noise-canceling headphones and earbuds are $50 off at Amazon Posted: 13 Aug 2018 02:15 PM PDT  If noise-cancellation is a must-have feature for your next set of wireless headphones or earbuds, it's worth looking at two Bose models that are currently each marked down $50 on Amazon. The Bose QuietComfort 35 II are over-ear headphones that not only offer the company's best-in-class noise cancellation technology, but also feature support for voice assistants Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Solid battery life and an extremely lightweight, comfortable build are reasons to go for the QC35s. Right now they're $299 at Amazon, down from $349. The Bose QuietControl 30 take the form factor of wireless neckbuds, but deliver similarly excellent noise-canceling tech. Plus, they're a more portable option that won't mess up your hair. The $50... |
| Court halts FCC plan to revoke low-income internet subsidies on tribal lands Posted: 13 Aug 2018 01:46 PM PDT  A $25 monthly subsidy that's meant to help low-income households on tribal lands get phone or internet service will remain in place for the time being, after a court found that the Federal Communication Commission's plan to largely remove the subsidies seems to have been made without properly considering the harms to customers and businesses. A federal court said on Friday that petitioners — including tribes, nonprofits, and wireless carriers — were likely to prove that the commission's decision was "arbitrary and capricious," meaning that it failed to fully consider the changes it was making. In particular, the court said, the FCC appears to have failed to look at whether residents of tribal lands will have alternative options to get... |
| YouTube is paying top creators to promote its new Twitch-style features Posted: 13 Aug 2018 01:40 PM PDT  YouTube, facing increasing pressure from competing platforms, is trying to help new monetization features get off the ground — and it's even willing to pay creators to promote them. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Google-owned platform is offering creators up to hundreds of thousands of dollars if they agree to use new donation and paid memberships features introduced earlier this year. The move could keep these influencers from leaving the site for rival streaming sites like Twitch and monetization platforms like Patreon. Super Chat, introduced back in January, allows viewers to "tip" a YouTube creator during a live stream and, as a result, have their comment stay on-screen, with the length determined by the size of the... |

| Apple delays FaceTime group chats from iOS 12 to a ‘future software update’ Posted: 13 Aug 2018 10:17 AM PDT  Apple is delaying its FaceTime group chats feature. While FaceTime group chats were originally scheduled for the iOS 12 release, developer Guilherme Rambo has revealed the feature has been removed in the latest iOS 12 beta 7 release today. "Group FaceTime has been removed from the initial release of iOS 12," reads a note from Apple to developers, posted by Rambo. Apple says the feature "will ship in a future software update later this fall." Group FaceTime chats will allow 32 participants in a video call, with tiles of people's faces where you can manually select people to highlight them in the main interface. Apple's delay to group FaceTime chats comes after the company delayed its AirPlay 2 introduction in iOS. Apple is late to group... |
