This means that you can have multiple desktops running in the background where you can have work related stuff on one desktop while your more personal and entertainment stuff can be on another – separated for the sake of cluttering.

Just yesterday, an alleged Core i9-13900K processor was listed on the Chinese black market. However, the picture attached in the ad was mostly blurred out to hide the details printed on the IHS of the chip. That prevented most publications from taking it for face value, since there was no way to validate whether the person was actually selling a 13th Gen chip or not. Today, a new leak has come forward with intent to verify that listing and provide more insight into the subject....

Instead, users had to use their web or mobile device to find Netflix’s website and sign up for the service there. Before this, the app was liable to abide by Apple’s rules, which restricts developers from providing connections to external sign-up pages. This made it impossible for apps to evade commissions on in-app sales of up to roughly 30% (which Apple has now reduced to 15%)....

It’s quite similar with similar image scaling features like DLSS (from Nvidia) and FidelityFX from AMD. The general consensus is that in its current state, NIS is not as good as DLSS, but it’s still a feature that will allow you to boost the in-game framerates (FPS) by rendering games at low resolution, then upscaling them to match the current monitor resolution....
