As handy as the cursor is for navigating your system’s user interface, it can sometimes get lost due to its small size. This is especially true for people who find it difficult to clearly see things on their screen. Furthermore, trying to find the little cursor on your display can put even more strain on the eyes. If you’re tired of losing your cursor, you can easily make it bigger from the settings, control panel, or even mouse properties....
If you are a gamer, you already know that the performance of your GPU and your CPU matters when trying to achieve a smooth playable frame rate. Your GPU is the workhorse, but you don’t want it being held back by a bottle-necking CPU, do you? CPU performance usually deteriorates when it hits either a power limit or a thermal limit. Even when neither is the case, you’re able to probably free up CPU resources by closing applications that are not currently in use....
Setting up a TP-Link Router is very straightforward, thanks to the Quick Setup wizard, which pretty much automates most of the process. Depending on the exact router in question, you might see the old green UI, the new blue UI, or the red gaming UI. However, even if the user interface differs, the process of setting up the router remains the same. This is true for the most part, even if you use the Tether app instead of the web interface....
Disabling acceleration on the mouse allows the mouse and the cursor to have a linear movement. On the other hand, if you enable the mouse acceleration, the mouse cursor will move at different speeds depending on the physical mouse speed. So if you want to maintain consistency, you should disable mouse acceleration. Mouse acceleration can be a good or a bad experience depending on the user. However, for gaming, enabling mouse acceleration is bad for your muscle memory which factors into your aim—and disabling it would be the best course of action....
If you are planning to upgrade your NVIDIA graphics card or switch from NVIDIA to AMD, you might want to uninstall the drivers for your old NVIDIA graphics card. Having old or residual drivers may cause stability issues and applications like games to stutter or hardware to malfunction. It is also a good idea to completely remove the drivers for old hardware that you are not using to improve Windows boot time....
Intel on Wednesday said that its 3nm-class process technology called Intel 3 has entered high volume production at two sites as well as provided some additional details about the new production node. The new process brings in both higher performance and higher transistor density as well as supports voltages of 1.2V for ultra-high-performance applications. The node is aimed at Intel’s own products as well as at foundry customers. It will also evolve over the coming years....
TheArc B580(viaVideoCardz) has been tested in Geekbench across the OpenCL andVulkanAPIs, beating its predecessor, theA580, by upwards of 30%. From the looks of it, these tests were likely conducted by a reviewer before the embargo, which is set to be lifted on December 12. Despite the apparent authenticity, take this leak with a grain of salt since synthetic benchmarks aren’t perfect for real-world performance. The test bench features Intel’s flagship Core Ultra 9 285K, 48GB of fast DDR5-8400 memory, and Gigabyte’s Z890 AORUS PRO ICE motherboard....
Yesterday morning, Intel posted ablog postregarding the infamous Vmin Shift Instability issue affecting 13th (Raptor Lake) and 14th (Raptor Lake Refresh) Generation Core processors, among thebest CPUs. Intel has confirmed that thanks to their new architecture, the company’s next-generation Core Ultra 200Lunar LakeandArrow LakeCPUs aren’t affected by the Vmin Shift Instability issue. Intel will announce Lunar Lake in September, while we still don’t have an official date for Arrow Lake. However, rumors point to October 17....
Intel’s upcoming flagshipCore Ultra 9 285Kappears to have been tested in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it exhibits a strong lead over the last generation despite having eight fewer threads. A screenshot of the CPU’s benchmark results has leaked via a hardware enthusiast onFacebook, where the processor is seen sipping up to 250W of power but that is offset by its performance. We are unaware of the test bench used and the settings applied so this benchmark might not be indicative of the final performance of the 285K....
Intel has confirmed toTom’s Hardwarethat reports it has solved the root cause of theCore i9 crashing issuesare false. Intel’s statement is counter to German publicationIgor’s Lab, which reported earlier today that Intel had discovered the root of the problems affecting the stability of 13thRaptor Lakeand 14th GenerationRaptor Lake RefreshCore i9 processors, spawning a wave of reporting that claimed a fix would arrive via a firmware patch. “Contrary to recent media reports, Intel has not confirmed root cause and is continuing, with its partners, to investigate user reports regarding instability issues on unlocked Intel Core 13th and 14th generation (K/KF/KS) desktop processors,” Intel said in a statement sent toTom’s Hardware....
Intel has quietly released two new CPU variants in its 14th generation Raptor Lake Fresh desktop CPU family, though these are destined to be available only in a single market- China. ViaMEGAsizeGPUwe even get a look at the alleged packaging. The Chipmaker releases theCore i7-14790F, a second variant of its series, with the first one being theCore i7-14700Freleased a few days ago. This CPU has an odd configuration since it has fewer cores and more cache than the Core i7-14700F, contrary to what its SKU would imply to be a higher-spec variant....
In January,two students from UC Santa Cruzdiscovered a way to make internet-connected washing machines, owned and operated by CSC ServiceWorks, give practically unlimited washing cycles for free. Alexander Sherbrooke and Iakov Taranenko ran a custom script through CSC’s mobile app and bypassed thesecuritychecks on its servers. Nowadays, everything connects to the Internet. Not so long ago, one user discovered that hisLGwashing machine was reportedlysending gigabytes of datadaily. The CSC internet-connected washing machines require users to download the app, create an account, and add funds to enable laundry cycles for those users....
Per anofficial updateonMicrosoft’s Known Issues page, Januarysecurityupdates made to recent versions of Windows (namelyWindows 1124H2, 10 22H2, Server 2019, and Server 2016) have rendered USB 1.0-based external DACs non-functional with Windows, with no proper fix being available, instead requiring users to directly connect theiraudiodevices to the PC and lose all the benefit of their DACs. Per the official documentation, “After installing this security update, you might experience issues with USB audio devices....
