Aside from Meta AI, the company is also rolling out end-to-end encryption for personal messages as well as calls on Facebook Messenger and Facebook. This is a feature that the company promised a long, long time ago, and it is finally rolling out, which certainly is a good thing. Better late than never, as Facebook Messenger is finally getting universal end-to-end encryption Now, it is important to know that Facebook Messenger has had encryption since 2016, but it was a part of the "secret conversation" feature rather than being something that is enabled by default. However, that is now changing […]

Intel Only Talks While AMD Actually Helps Consumers Distinguish Between Its Next-Gen Ryzen AI CPUs & AI PC Solutions Intel recently released a presentation titled "Core Truths" which highlighted how AMD was offering its old architecture under the new Ryzen 7000 branding.

Apple marketed the iPad as a computer replacement in 2017 and continues to deliver features supporting its notion. However, the iPad Pro is far from a computer at this stage, and iPadOS is one of the reasons why. The company introduced a Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro that can transform the tablet into a laptop-like device with a keyboard and a trackpad. Now, the company is working on a redesigned Magic Keyboard to make the OLED iPad Pro look more like a laptop. Apple plans to release a redesigned Magic Keyboard alongside the third-gen Apple Pencil in March 2024 […]
Judging from the Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar Games may be heavily leaning into ray tracing with the next entry in the series. A new analysis shared by the tech experts at Digital Foundry highlights how ray-traced global illumination and ray-traced reflections can be clearly spotted in the game's reveal trailer in the internal scenes with strong exterior light sources, where light bounce looks realistic and in the car sequence where the wing mirror reflection shows detail that is not present in the screen space. Rockstar Games may also be using a hybrid solution combining both software and hardware ray […]

The development of Metroid Prime 4 is almost complete, and it's only one specific issue that is holding the game from release, according to rumors circulating online. According to PapaGenos, as reported on the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit, the development of the fourth entry in the series is basically done and has been for a good while.

Additionally, the game is still targeting a release on the original Nintendo Switch, suggesting its release may not be too far off in the future, […]
