Team Green has succeeded in leaving me excited for the future of upscaling in games with DLSS 4, and I hope AMD can do the same with FSR 4.

I have been using a Macbook for almsot two decades so I dont really need to have an external keyboard. I am also not a PC gamer so I dont need to have all those fancy devices that you can use on your computer or laptop to make the gaming experience faster and better. But when I see those fancy and colorful keyboards that my friends post, Im sometimes tempted to get one just to try out all the bells and whistles and also to hear myself clickety clacking on this keyboard instead of my mostly quiet Macbooks built-in one.Designer: NuPhyThe brand NuPhy has been making a name for itself in the mechanical keyboard market but their newest one, the Field75 HE Keyboard is the first one that is heavily designed and promoted as a gaming keyboard. While they say its also for productivity as well, most of the extra things that this keyboard gives will appeal mostly for those who are casually and heavily into gaming. It is also compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS so whatever gadget youre using, the keyboard can be an accessory. From its retro-futuristic aesthetic to the various cogs and tools alongside the usual keyboard things, this has kind of broken the mold when it comes to mechanical keyboards. For one, it has eight macro keys, four on the left side of the device and four below the spacebar. They act more like mouse buttons than regular keys and the click clacks are different from the sound of the other keys. You can remap their functions but the default are mostly for media controls and shortcuts. The cogwheel on the left side controls lighting while the toggle switch lets you swap between the three onboard memory profiles. There is also a volume wheel with a knurled aluminum placed on the edge of the keyboard. These cutting-edge Hall Effect magnetic switches really put this keyboard on top of most that are available in the market.Aside from the design, the technical specs of the NuPhy Field75 HE Keyboard also make it different from its competitors. It has adjustable actuation from 0.1mm to 4.0mm, rapid trigger functionality, and an 8,000Hz polling rate. You will be able to adjust and customize things like key sensitivity, per-key rapid trigger, etc. You can also have multiple functions for some of the keys. So whether youre using it for serious gaming or for rapid productivity purposes, the keyboard may be able give you more than just typing out keys for your screen.The post NuPhys newest keyboard gives gamers and productivity fans extra keys and functions first appeared on Yanko Design.

One of Arthur Ericksons slides from travels to the Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kyoto, ca. 1961. Arthur Erickson fonds, CCA. Gift of the Erickson Family Emily Erickson McCullum and Christopher EricksonUpon arriving in Tokyo in 1961, Arthur Erickson purchased a Mamiya Flex C2 twin lens reflex camera and a Sekonic light meter, instruments which became central to his study of Japanese buildings and landscapes. For Erickson, photography offered a crucial tool for developing and later communicating many of his key ideas about architectures interplay with landscape.Currently on view at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, Being There presents photographs taken by Erickson during his travels in Japan and Southeast Asia, as well as an earlier journey around the Mediterranean in 195052. Curated by McGill professor David Covo with the CCAs Laura Aparicio Llorente, Being There helps us to understand how Erickson travelled: both what he sought and what he found in his formative journeys. Erickson understood Japanese architecture supremely well before his travels, but he also knew he could not truly grasp what made it unique without a prolonged study of the site itself.For Covo, the camera neither distanced nor objectified Ericksons experiences. Instead, it brought the young architect into closer contact with the places he visited. Moving the Mamiya to and fro as he framed his two-and-a-half-inch square images, together with the need to bring the light meter close to those surfaces he wished to capture, produced a ritual which structured Ericksons site visits and allowed him to better assimilate learnings from them. Buildings are always shown as fully integrated with their natural settings; in other cases, the traces of human endeavour (such as the footpaths in a photograph taken at the Katsura Imperial Villa) register as unobtrusive presences within their landscapes. These imagesmany of which were rediscovered by Covo in collections across Canadaare presented in a series of mesmeric slideshows, in which the architects vision flickers before the visitors eyes.Given Ericksons youthful talent as a painter, it is surprising that the exhibition features few drawings. In fact, it is uncertain if Erickson sketched much during his travels. However, two sketches showing villages in the south of France encapsulate the same compositional ideas as Ericksons photographs. In both, buildings recede into the distance, while landscape fills the foreground. Just as Erickson did not avail himself of a zoom lens for his photographs, his sketching eye gazed forward without any urge to unduly crop surroundings.While ostensibly a photography exhibition, the shows focus is equally textual. Covo has poured over Ericksons voluminous correspondence (nearly 25,000 words) sent from Japan to his parents and to McGill professor Gordon Webber, and selected key letters for display. These missives formed the basis of Ericksons future lectures and articles on Japanese architecture. Describing Katsura to Webber, Erickson claimed it to be misread, misrepresented in practically every coverage of itso I shall do it again and contribute to the damage that publicity has brought to Japanese architecture. Whether or not Ericksons photographs truly captured the buildings they depict, Being There offers us a privileged window into the architects own creative imagination.Architectural historian Peter Sealy is an Assistant Professor at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto. Being There: Photography in Arthur Ericksons Travel Diaries is on display at the CCA until March 16, 2025.As appeared in theFebruary 2025issue of Canadian Architect magazineThe post Exhibition Review: Being There appeared first on Canadian Architect.

A screenshot from Googles Super Bowl commercial. | Screenshot: GoogleGoogle just debuted a series of Super Bowl ads showing how small businesses use Gemini AI across all 50 states, but the cheese lovers out there might notice something a little off about its Wisconsin one. As spotted by @natejhake on X, the ad shows Gemini AI generating text that says Gouda accounts for 50 to 60 percent of the worlds cheese consumption a stat that isnt quite accurate.The cheese is undoubtedly popular in Europe, but the same cant be said for the rest of the world. While Gouda is likely the most common single variety in world trade, it is almost assuredly not the most widely consumed, Andrew Novakovic, E.V. Baker Professor of Agricultural Economics Emeritusat Cornell University, tells The Verge. Gemini doesnt say where it fetched this information, but it doesnt appear to be completely made up. A site called Cheese.com has the same stat (the legitimacy of which Redditors were debating about more than a decade ago).I dont think there is hard data to substantiate consumption of particular varieties of cheeses on a global scale, Novakovic adds. My guess is that Indian Paneer or the ubiquitous fresh cheeses of South America, Africa, and western and southern Asia have far larger volumes than Gouda.As shown in the commercial, the fine print beneath Geminis response reads, This is a creative writing aid, and is not intended to be factual. But youd think it would at least have a source to back it up, especially when the ad depicts a business owner using Gemini to fill out descriptions for their website.Last month, Google started building all its AI features into Workspace and also raised the price of its subscription. The company didnt immediately respond to The Verges request for comment.

Ever since early 2021, Apple has been releasing new Black Unity bands for the Apple Watch. 2025 marks the fifth year of this tradition, giving a number of options to pick from. Among the five bands, Apple has released two sport bands, two sport loops, and one braided solo loop. All of them remain available for purchase on the Apple Store today.2021: Sport BandEvery January, ahead of Black History Month, Apple kicks it off by releasing a new limited-edition black unity watch band. It started with the Black Unity Sport Band in 2021, coming in at $49. Heres how Apple describes the band:Designed by Black creatives and allies throughout Apple to celebrate and acknowledge Black history and culture, the Black Unity Sport Band is inspired by the colors of the Pan-African flag and pays homage to the rich tradition and craft of quilt-making. Three individual pieces of colored fluoroelastomer are assembled by hand and compression-molded as one. Complemented by the dynamic Unity watch face, which displays an ever-changing pattern of irregular shapes as Apple Watch moves, these colors are brought together in a unique tapestry. The innovative pin-and-tuck closure is laser-etched with Truth. Power. Solidarity.2022: Braided Solo LoopIn 2022, Apple introduced a braided solo loop version of the Black Unity band collection, coming in at $99. Heres how the company described this years version:Designed by Black creatives and allies at Apple to celebrate Black history and culture, the Black Unity Braided Solo Loop is inspired by Afrofuturism, a philosophy that explores the experience of the African Diaspora through a narrative of science, technology, and self-empowerment. It honors generations of Black people who have been seen and unseen, and symbolizes the necessity for a more equitable world.2023: Sport LoopThen, in 2023, we got our first Sport Loop. It was priced at $49, and Apple described it as such:Inspired by the creative process of mosaic, the new Black Unity watch band and matching watch face symbolize the vibrancy of Black communities and the power of unity. Designed by Black creatives and allies at Apple, this band honors Black history for anyone committed to ending systemic racism and building a more equitable world.Featuring the colors of the Pan-African flag, this adjustable, soft and lightweight Sport Loop band contains the word unity woven in layers for a three-dimensional texture.2024: Unity Bloom Sport BandApple decided to give Sport Bands another spin in 2024, with a new Unity Bloom design, priced at $49. Apple described 2024s design as follows:The Unity Bloom Apple Watch band and face are inspired by the growth and resilience nurtured by generations working together to address injustice and dismantle systemic barriers. Each flower shape has a hand-crafted appearance as if cut from paper. Together they service as emblems of truth, power, and solidarity and symbolize commitment to cultivating a more equitable world. One where everyone blooms.2025: Unity Rhythm Sport LoopLast but not least, 2025 features the second Sport Loop design in Apples five year run. Its priced at $49, and heres how Apple describes this years design:The Unity Rhythm Apple Watch band and face celebrate the unifying power of rhythm. From the beat of a heart to the flow of creativity, rhythm is a universal element of the human experience.Adjustable, soft, and lightweight, the Unity Rhythm Sport Loop weaves together the colors of the Pan-African flag in a custom pattern, creating a striking lenticular effect. When you move your wrist, each green loop appears to shift to red, revealing hints of yellow in the transition as if by magic.Wrap up & pollWith all of the Black Unity bands, Apple is supporting five global organizations that focus on elements of rhythm, creativity, and community through meaningful mentorship of underrepresented artists or musicians.Sport Band 2021Braided Solo Loop 2022Sport Loop 2023Unity Bloom Sport Band 2024Unity Rhythm Sport Loop 2025Now that youve seen and read about them all, which one is your favorite?

Over 45,000 organizations trust Mosyle to make millions of Apple devices work-ready with no effort and at an affordable cost.Request your EXTENDED TRIALtoday and understand why Mosyle is everything you need to work with Apple.Full-time remote work has changed how people approach day-to-day work, but its also brought new challengeslike spending hours in Zoom/Google Meet meetings. Wearing AirPods 8 hours a day daily isnt great for your battery, nor do I find it comfortable. TheAISPEECH M6 Conference Speakerphoneoffers a nice option that Ive been using day to day: a high-quality, AI-enhanced speakerphone that frees your ears from 8-hour-a-day Bluetooth, saves your AirPods battery, upgrades your audio experience, and includes compatibility with an AI-driven note-taker tool.About Apple @ Work:Bradley Chambers managed an enterprise IT network from 2009 to 2021. Through his experience deploying and managing firewalls, switches, a mobile device management system, enterprise grade Wi-Fi, 1000s of Macs, and 1000s of iPads, Bradley will highlight ways in which Apple IT managers deploy Apple devices, build networks to support them, train users, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple could improve its products for IT departments.AISPEECH M6: better than your Macs built-in microphoneYour Macs built-in microphone works for quick meetings, but the AISPEECH M6 is much better for longer calls. The conference speaker/mic connects via Bluetooth (or USB-A), making it easy to connect and disconnect. Whether hosting a training meeting or meeting with clients, its pretty easy to use. The built-in noise reduction technologyfilters out over 300 types of background noise, meaning that if your dog is barking at the USPS (looking at my dogs) lady, your coworkers wont hear them. This aspect alone was fantastic.The M6sdirectional modecaptures voices within a 90 angle. Theomnidirectional modesupports larger group settings if you take it to a hotel conference room, picking up audio from up to 20-foot radius. With up to 25 hours of battery life, its a reliable choice for even meeting schedules from Hades type of day.Build quality-wise, its great. The speaker and speaker fabric are on top, and there is easy access to mute and volume. Its made of hard plastic with rubber feet on the underside. Its compact enough to be easy to travel with as well.I ran some tests with my coworkers and asked their opinions about the audio quality of my microphone from my AirPods, EarPods, Mac, and M6. Overall, the M6 came away as the winner for best microphone quality.Great for musicOutside your meetings, the AISPEECH M6 can be a Bluetooth speaker for music from Apple Music, Spotify, and more. It can pair with your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and other devices. In my experience, it offers a much better sound experience than your built-in Mac speakers.Your AI note-takerOne of the best features of the AISPEECH M6 is itsAI-powered transcription and summarization. Leveraging GPT-based technology, the M6 transforms meeting conversations into real-time notes, detailed transcriptions, and straightforward summaries. It supports up to 60 languages, making it ideal for global teams. It works in conjunction with Notta and includes a three-month trial out of the box. If you use something like Fathom AI, itll work well with it, but its just not as tight of integration.Wrap UpOverall, Ive been pretty impressed with the device. After 4+ years of remote work, I dont want to wear my AirPods all day, every day. Ive been looking for an upgrade to my Macs mic that doesnt feel like a podcast microphone while improving overall sound quality. The AI integration is fantastic, but I think youd be just fine leveraging Fathom in the cloud while using this for microphone, speaker, and music.

Could this be the key for generating breathable air on the Moon?Breathing New AirChinese astronauts claim to have created rocket fuel on board the country's Tiangong space station using a new process dubbed "artificial photosynthesis."As the South China Morning Post reports, space travelers from the current Shenzhou-19 mission produced the necessary ingredients of rocket fuel, as well as oxygen, another useful resource in space.The team used semiconductor catalysts to turn carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and ethylene, a hydrocarbon commonly used to produce spacecraft propellants, according to the SCMP."This technology mimics the natural photosynthesis process of green plants through engineered physical and chemical methods, utilizing carbon dioxide resources in confined spaces or extraterrestrial atmospheres to produce oxygen and carbon-based fuels," state-run news broadcaster CCTV explained earlier this month, as quoted by the newspaper.The experiment could lay important groundwork for our efforts to turn in-situ resources in faraway places into a source of breathable air and rocket fuel that future interplanetary space travel may require."The work is expected to provide critical technical support for human survival and exploration in outer space," the CCTV report reads.Moon FuelThe idea of using semiconductor catalysts differs from other conventional oxygen-producing techniques, such as electrolysis on board the International Space Station, which is used to turn solar energy into a supply of breathable air.Experts have generally found that electrolysis is too energy intensive for long-distance space travel. By using semiconductor catalysts instead, Chinese researchers hope to convert carbon dioxide at both room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure, thereby requiring far less energy.However, details regarding the experiments remain slim, and it's still unclear just how feasible the concept actually is, especially in extremely remote and hostile landscapes like the surface of Mars.But if confirmed, the concept could give future Chinese space explorers a major leg up. The country is hoping to build a base near the Moon's south pole by 2035, an endeavor that will require a steady and reliable source of breathable oxygen not to mention rocket fuel for the trip back to Earth.More on China's space station: Watch Astronauts Give a Rare Tour of China's Luxurious Space StationShare This Article

Then what's the point?Baby BrainOpenAI has finally debuted "Operator," its very own AI agent, a type of autonomous model designed to do digital tasks on your behalf like shopping for groceries online.But calling it an AI "toddler" might be more fitting. As a Bloomberg reporter describes her experience using OpenAI's new toy, the experimental tech needs a "lot of adult supervision," frequently screwing up and asking for help when it gets stuck.It's also pretty sluggish, as echoed by other users, and slow on the uptake as a still-developing brain might be."For several agonizing moments, I watched as OpenAI's artificially intelligent agent slowly navigated the internet like someone who's had the web described to them in great detail but never actually used it," wrote Bloomberg's Rachel Metz. "I had to monitor it the entire time."ParentGPTExperiences like Metz' suggest there's still a long way to realizing OpenAI's vision and the industry's at large of releasing agentic AI models that can serve as virtual employees or personal assistants, supercharging your productivity by doing the work for you.Typical large language models are limited to words. But AI agents are capable of interacting with their environment, like a user's desktop computer. That potentially enables them to do anything from browse the web itself a fount of infinite possibilities to using installed software. In its announcement, OpenAI highlighted Operator's usefulness in making reservations, booking flights, and creating shopping lists. The AI model is only available to subscribers of the ChatGPT Pro plan, which costs $200 per month.If it could do any of those things without help quickly and reliably, it might be a huge time saver. The tech is in a very early stage, however, and isn't as hands-off as one might hope. As OpenAI warned, Operator has to ask you for confirmation before actually completing any important tasks betraying that the tech isn't yet trustworthy enough to be left alone.Helicopter ParentBloomberg's Metz says that Operator successfully handled tasks like getting ice cream delivered, although it required some "guidance and permission," like providing payment info and approving the purchase.With more serious applications like creating a spreadsheet for a schedule, it frequently messed up the details,she said. OpenAI admitted that Operator still struggles with "complex interfaces" like creating slideshows and managing calendars.If it can Instacart you some food and do some shopping, cool. But is it worth shelling out $200 a month for?"Given it was just a test, I was ready and willing to keep a close eye on the product," Metz concluded. "But if OpenAI and its peers want agents to take off, they'll need to convince people that they can trust these services to act autonomously on their behalf. Otherwise, we may decide if we want a job done right, we should just do it ourselves."Share This Article

Despite efforts to keep her head down, freshman Marie Moreau gets swept up in a mystery at Godolkin University, a prestigious but shadowy school for superheroes. The new series' strong characters and fresh story establish it as something pretty super in its own right. Another reason to watch? Season 4 of The Boys picks up after the events of the first Gen V season. Amazon Studios Invincible (2021- ) For those who aren't a fan of cartoons, Invincible could be your converter, up there with other adult cartoons like BoJack Horseman and Rick and Morty. Based on a comic book from Robert Kirkman, the creator of the Walking Dead, Invincible follows 17-year-old Mark Grayson and his training to become a superhero just like his father, who happens to be the most powerful superhero on the planet. Episodes run long at nearly 50 minutes, connected into one big, blood-spattered story. A subversive series with a huge cast featuring Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh and J.K. Simmons, Invincible will engross you in its smart animated world. Amazon Studios The Boys (2019- ) The Boys stormed Amazon with its ultra-violent tale of antihero vigilantes seeking revenge against the world's most beloved superheroes. These heroes aren't what they seem: Their corporate overlords cover up their shady personal lives, including sexual harassment and the odd assassination. With social commentary, black comedy and pops of gore, The Boys takes a thrilling and unapologetic step away from the family-friendly genre. Documentary Prime Video LuLaRich (2021) In LulaRich, the directors of Hulu's Fyre Festival documentary explore the dark side of the multilevel marketing company LuLaRoe. The four-part documentary series interviews founders DeAnne and Mark Stidham and paints a not-so-rosy picture of the women's clothing giant, which is known for its loudly colored and patterned leggings and tops. In the doc, women who joined the company (investing a chunk of money in the process) dealt with stinky merchandise, a toxic culture and challenges in reaching financial goals. Settle in for a fascinating and well-made docuseries that spotlights the stories of former LuLaRoe retailers. Drama Prime Video Expats (2024- ) A new miniseries starring Nicole Kidman may be enough to guide your finger to the Play button, but you may also want to know that Expats comes from Lulu Wang, the director of the critically acclaimed 2019 comedy-drama The Farewell. In the six-episode show, Kidman portrays an American woman who's living in Hong Kong and is one of three characters linked by a sudden family tragedy. David Hindley/Prime Video Riches (2022) A soapy drama about a family after the death of their wealthy patriarch sits tantalizingly on Prime Video.

You'll glide through the stylish first season, which includes Ted Lasso Emmy nominee Sarah Niles. Amazon Studios The English (2022) Gripping Western drama series The English stars Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer as an unlikely duo traveling across a treacherous landscape. The first episode of the miniseries presents some terrible characters and reveals a bit of what motivates both protagonists -- Blunt's aristocratic Englishwoman and Spencer's Pawnee ex-cavalry scout -- to continue in the face of danger. Gorgeous visuals and superb acting make The English worth a binge. Alan Peebles/Prime Video A Very British Scandal (2022) Unfurling over three hour-long episodes, A Very British Scandal dramatizes the highly publicized, real-life divorce between the Duke and Duchess of Argyll in the 1960s. Claire Foy, of Netflix's The Crown, and WandaVision's Paul Bettany star. Ali Goldstein/Amazon Studios As We See It (2022) A newer entry to Prime Video, As We See It earns a spot among its best shows. Starring three actors who identify as autistic, this sincere series follows young adults on the autism spectrum as they navigate jobs, make friends and find love. Neurotypical actors usually play autistic characters on screen, so the casting sets this one apart. It's also heartfelt, funny and poignant, with well-rounded characters you'll want to root for. I could let the show's glowing Metacritic score speak for itself -- but whatever convinces you, this needs to be your next watch. Prime Video The Underground Railroad (2021) Sublime filmmaker Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) takes on adapting Colson Whitehead's novel The Underground Railroad into a powerful 10-episode series. Set in the southern US during the 1800s, the fictional story follows Blacks attempting to escape from slavery via a network of hidden tracks and tunnels. Tapping magical realism and a superb cast including Thuso Mbedu and William Jackson Harper, The Underground Railroad is an emotional and chilling triumph. Sci-fi Prime Video Fallout (2024- ) Prime Video's video game adaptation is an entertaining postapocalyptic adventure you shouldn't leave sitting in a vault.

One is Lucy (Ella Purnell), who wanders in search of her kidnapped father and feels the need to invoke the Golden Rule to a cruel post-human Ghoul (Walton Goggins). Meanwhile, an eager Maximus (Aaron Moten) gets his big break as a squire in the Brotherhood of Steel. It's an unpredictable series with humor and gore. Don't let long episode runtimes deter you from exploring Fallout. Prime Video The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy (2024- ) A wacky, stellar adult animated comedy about exceptional alien surgeons, the Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy follows best friends Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak (voiced by Stephanie Hsu and Keke Palmer) as they perform daily duties like treating a patient usingan anxiety-eating parasite (that's just episode 1). The series' out-of-this-world voice cast also features Maya Rudolph, Natasha Lyonne and all five Culkin brothers. Prime Video Paper Girls (2022) The first episode of Paper Girls, a sci-fi TV series based on popular comics by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, brings together four kids riding bikes on their paper delivery routes in 1988. That may sound like a sci-fi-er you've binged already, (yep, Netflix's hit Stranger Things), Prime Video's show stands on its own. Follow along as the girls travel through time, navigate powerful adversaries and learn more about themselves. Another reason to watch? Comedian Ali Wong is also part of the cast. Amazon Studios The Expanse (2015-2022) Amazon rescued The Expanse from the realm of canceled TV, bringing us up to six seasons. Thank goodness it did, because The Expanse is smart sci-fi with realistic characters, high production values and a dash of detective noir. Set in a future where humanity has colonized the Solar System, a conspiracy threatens to start a cold war between the largest powers. A band of antiheroes find themselves at the center. Look forward to more space western themes in the consistently excellent later seasons. Thriller Prime Video The Devil's Hour (2022- ) The Devil's Hour sets up an intriguing mystery: Why is a woman, Lucy, waking up at 3:33 a.m. each night, and why does her 8-year-old son, Isaac, seem oddly emotionless? Starring Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife) as Lucy, Nikesh Patel (Starstruck) as a kind detective and Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) as a suspicious character, the Devil's Hour is a twisty series that eventually delivers satisfying answers. A bonus? A third and final season is on the way. Niko Tavernise/Prime Video Dead Ringers (2023) Oscar winner Rachel Weisz plays not one, but two main characters in Dead Ringers, Prime Video's version of David Cronenberg's 1988 psychological thriller. The darkly comedic series follows identical twin doctors pursuing their goal of opening a birthing and research center. Spend some time with these unconventional sisters, you'll want to see the whole thing through. York Tillyer/Amazon Studios Chloe (2022) Led by a stellar Erin Doherty, this British thriller will swallow your attention.
