Apple has once again marked a before and after with its latest gadget. The signature of the bitten apple revolutionized the world when it launched the iPhone. And it really wasn't the first smartphone. And the same is going to happen with the Apple Vision Pro. Or at least that is what emerges from the excellent ratings that the Apple Vision Pro are receiving among the developer community, and which the DigitalTrends colleagues have collected exclusively. As you can imagine, the firm is already sending test units of its augmented and virtual reality glasses so that apps can begin to be created for this gadget . And now the first impressions with the Apple Vision Pro are starting to arrive, and they are making it clear that these smart glasses have a lot to offer. The Apple Vision Pro receive excellent impressions from developers Apple's smart glasses have not been the first product of their kind by any means. But they could be destined to change the world thanks to usability beyond any doubt. And so far, users who have tried them are impressed.For example, internal sources point out that there is “extremely high customer satisfaction , in the triple digits, in the tests we have conducted so far.” To the point that downloads of the tools to design applications for Apple Vision Pro have exceeded expectations. One of the doubts about the future of the Apple Vision Pro has to do with its rivals. The price of this equipment is much higher than its competitors, but it offers many more functions. Hence Apple is not worried. To the point that Tommy Palm, executive director of Resolution Games, a company that has been creating XR games for years, said that " I am very convinced that Apple's entry into this market segment will be monumental ." To the point that it could revolutionize the sector. The truth is that this gadget points out ways, and the excellent evaluations of the developers who have been able to test the Apple Vision Pro could not be more positive. Let us remember that the Apple Vision Pro should arrive at the beginning of 2024 and, if they finally also land in Spain, they will cost 3,999 euros . A scandalous figure, but if they are as complete as they promise, it is still worth betting on this gadget in certain sectors. Now, all that remains is to wait for Apple to start sending the first units to customers to find out all the secrets of a product that, at least, is going to give a lot to talk about... https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2023/09/07/gadgets/1694089647_150890.html

Microsoft is testing a new tool with which you can remove the background of an image in Paint with a single click and that it has already implemented in Windows Insiders, in version 11.2306.30.0 of the Canary and Dev channels. The company currently offers two versions of this service: Paint , which is a basic drawing solution, and Paint 3D , an application focused on graphic design and the creation of three-dimensional images. In the standard version, you can remove the background from an image using the Selection tool, choosing the Freeform option and then the Transparent Selection option. Then, the pointer must be used to surround the object that we want to isolate from the background. It can then be cut and pasted onto a new document to save the new image in .png format, that is, without a background.Microsoft is now working on a new format for Paint that makes it easier to remove the background of an image with a single click, a feature that is rolling out to Windows Insiders, through the Canary and Dev channels (version 11.2306.30.0). To use this tool, you must open the image and click on the background removal button, which is located on the left side of the drawing application's toolbar.Paint will then automatically detect the object to be highlighted and cut it out of the background. However, this version also indicates that it is possible to manually select the part of the background that you want to delete with the 'Crop' option... https://www.europapress.es/portaltic/software/noticia-microsoft-prueba-paint-herramienta-eliminar-fondo-imagenes-solo-clic-20230908103938.html

MSI has released its top GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 Gaming SLIM series which reduce the overall thickness from 4-slots to 3-slots. MSI's GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 GAMING SLIM Lineup Are Slimmer, Featuring Black & White Variants MSI had previously unveiled its "GAMING SLIM" GeForce RTX 40 GPUs, which featured a total of 20 different models. The company showcased the mid-range graphics cards within the lineup, and now MSI has revealed its flagship GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 Gaming SLIM series.The MSI GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 GAMING SLIM GPU lineup is generally targeted toward providing consumers the option of utilizing the power of Ada Lovelace GPUs without worrying about their "huge" size, considering many people couldn't harness the NVIDIA GPUs in compact builds.However, with MSI's new Gaming SLIM lineup, these high-end GPUs have seen a great decrease in thickness & dimensions, with the most notable one being NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090. The GAMING SLIM variant of the GPU is now confined to just three slots, which is impressive given the fact that the industry trend is all about making GPUs "beefier" (Take Maxsun's recent RTX 4090 for example).Diving into the technical specs, the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING SLIM will now come with a 62mm thickness, which is a reduction of almost 20 percent from the original GAMING X TRIO variant. Moreover, the GPU will also feature a decrease in weight, coming at 1.78 kg which will contribute towards ease of building and eliminating the extent of "GPU sag" present in the ordinary GeForce RTX 4090 variants.MSI hasn't gone into depth when it comes to revealing the tactics adopted behind the weight reduction but based on the press release images of the GPU, the company has made changes in the backplate of the GAMING SLIM GPUs, and the decrease in weight may due to the additional cutouts all along the GPU chassis and the I/O port. However, it will be interesting to see how these GPUs perform in real-time, especially in the thermal department given that MSI claims that changes made would have no impact on GPU temperatures.The MSI GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 GAMING SLIM GPUs are in no way an "underclocked" or a less-performing lineup, however, there are minor clock adjustments present in the GeForce RTX 4070 variants. We don't have a figure on where the GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING SLIM will be priced but expect the m close to their Non-SLIM variants. The RTX 4080 Gamning SLIM will also be made in a white-colored flavor though the RTX 4090 Gaming SLIM White may launch later... https://wccftech.com/msi-geforce-rtx-4090-rtx-4080-gaming-slim-gpus-drop-the-weight-just-3-slots-thick/

Mick Titcombe has taken part in many animal rescue including this one where a horse was stuck in water A firefighter has been awarded a grant to research more effective ways of rescuing animals from water. The Churchill Fellowship grant will enable Mick Titcombe, from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service, to travel to Australia and the USA to meet animal rescue experts. "We need to integrate animal water rescue into our national operational guidance and increase our capability and knowledge," he said. He has been a firefighter for 25 years. Mr Titcombe is a watch commander and specialist training and national resilience co-ordinator with the Northamptonshire service.For 19 years he worked at Wellingborough Fire Station, where some of the service's specialist animal and water rescue equipment is based, and is now in the training department.Mick Titcombe is a watch commander and specialist training and national resilience co-ordinator at Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service The grant will enable him to spend 20 days in Australia, where responders have had to deal with a number of flooding disasters. He will work with the fire service and emergency responders to find out how they manage these types of incident, and what measures and equipment they use to get the best outcome. Mr Titcombe will then travel to the USA where he will join a three-day, multi-state simulated disaster exercise. "The flooding experienced in the UK in recent years has already demonstrated the potential disruption we face in a changing climate," Mr Titcombe said. "Much of the emergency response models for flooding are focused on human rescue with minimal awareness, equipment, knowledge and experience of rescuing animals from water. I want to change this." Northamptonshire's Acting Chief Fire Officer, Simon Tuhill, said Mr Titcombe had "recognised a gap in our knowledge" and developed a proposal with the potential to improve the "operational response to animal rescues". The Churchill Fellowship is a charity that awards grants to help people "follow their passion for change, through learning from the world and bringing that knowledge back to the UK". https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-66742708

Mr Kim attended the parade with his young daughter By Maria Zaccaro BBC News North Korea has marked the 75th anniversary of its founding day with a parade attended by Russian diplomats and a Chinese delegation. The Friday event in Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung Square featured uniformed paramilitary brigades. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, a Russian military song-and-dance ensemble and officials from Beijing were all in attendance. The event follows rumours that Mr Kim might meet Vladimir Putin this month. It is understood Mr Kim is planning to travel to Russia to discuss with the Russian president the possibility of North Korea providing Moscow with weapons to support its war in Ukraine.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on the matter when asked by a journalist in Moscow on Saturday, according to the Interfax news agency. In a message to congratulate Mr Kim on the 75th anniversary of North Korea's founding, Mr Putin said he was convinced the two countries would "continue to strengthen bilateral ties on all fronts". He said this would help ensure "the security and stability on the Korean peninsula and northeast Asia". General view of a military parade to mark the 75th founding anniversary of North Korea's armyThe event was held in Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung Square Mr Putin noted that the Soviet Union was the first country to recognise the North Korean regime. He said that relations between the two countries had since been based "on the principles of friendship, good neighbourliness and mutual respect". The Russian embassy in Pyongyang said earlier this week it had been allowed to bring in 20 diplomatic and technical staff. The official Korean Central News Agency reported that Kim Il Sung Square "was full of excitement and joy" and all those who attended the parade "paid the highest glory and warmest thanks to Kim Jong Un, peerless patriot and ever-victorious iron-willed commander". Chinese President Xi Jinping "extended congratulations in a call to Kim Jong Un" on the anniversary, Chinese state media reported.

Seagate has released its Starfield Xbox Game drive but your Xbox Series X|S won't be able to play Bethesda's game from it. The Starfield-themed game drive for Xbox was announced back in June of this year for a release this month. The drive features exclusive Starfield artwork and customizable RGB LED lighting. "Officially licensed by Bethesda and wrapped in exclusive artwork commemorating the explorers from Constellation, the Game Drive and Game Hub display a design that feels pulled directly from the Settled Systems of Starfield, Seagate's press release from June reads. "Featuring customizable RGB LED lighting, the drives bring the majesty of the stars to the gamers’ ecosystem. Available with up to 5TB of capacity, the Game Drive is lightweight in design, making it easy to take an entire library on-the-go. The Game Drive and the Game Hub are connected and powered with high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 1, and the Game Drive does not need a separate power cord, making it easy for gamers to play from anywhere. Designed to work with Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One, both drives are easily installed through Xbox OS in under two minutes so gamers can launch into action."Truly, it's a visually appealing drive for sure, but Xbox Series players hoping to match the drive with their console and play the game from it will be disappointed. Starfield, being optimized for Xbox Series X|S, requires the game to be played from the internal SSD or from a storage expansion card. Yes, there are some Xbox Series X|S-optimized games that can still run from an external HDD/SDD, but Starfield isn't one of them. So, while Seagate advertises the drive as being officially licensed by Bethesda and being "Constellation Certified" for use on both Xbox and PC, don't get the illusion you can actually play Starfield on your Xbox console from this drive. Of course, you can still install Starfield on the internal SSD, and keep Seagate's drive for additional storage of older Xbox games. Seagate's game drive also works on PC, but Starfield's system requirements mention that you'll need an SSD in order to play the game. As such, you might just be able to play Starfield on PC from this drive, but you'll likely run into some performance issues.More information about the Starfield-themed Xbox game drive can be found on Seagate's official website here. There you'll also find links to purchase the drive (in several sizes) from select retailers. The Seagate Starfield Special Edition Game Drive for Xbox is available in capacities of 2TB (US$109.99) and 5TB (US$169.99). The Seagate Starfield Special Edition Game Hub for Xbox is available in an 8TB (US$239.99) capacity. https://wccftech.com/seagate-releases-starfield-xbox-game-drive-but-your-xbox-series-wont-play-the-game-from-it/

While PC players have been enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3 since early August, the game finally launched on PS5 yesterday, so how’s the game hold up on consoles? Well, there’s some good news and bad news. According to the tech heads at Digital Foundry, the PS5 version of BG3 offers impressive visual quality, but performance, already a bit of an issue on PC, is even more problematic on console. You can check out the full Digital Foundry video breakdown below if you have around 15 minutes to spare, or you can scroll down for our recap of the salient points.Ah, but the performance figures listed above only apply to the early game. As players have discovered on PC, Baldur’s Gate 3 has some performance issues in Act 3, particularly in areas with lots of NPCs. Well, these problems persist on the PS5, with the game dropping to as low as 20fps in Act 3. Interestingly, the performance seems roughly the same regardless of whether the game is being played in Quality or Performance mode, implying that a CPU bottleneck is to blame. As for split-screen, it seems to hold up fairly well. It essentially forces you into Quality mode, limiting performance to 30fps and splitting the resolution in half, offering two 1280x1440p screens. Of course, the same Act 3 performance issues seen in single-player pop up during split-screen action. Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5 has essentially two visual modes, which you can choose between by setting Performance on or off. The non-Performance (we’ll call it Quality) mode offers a locked 1440p and 30fps, while Performance mode is upsampled using FSR 2 or some other tech from around 960p and runs at 60fps. As is increasingly becoming the case on current-gen consoles, Quality mode is actually the more consistent performer, maintaining a consistent 30fps, while Performance mode will occasionally drop frames (although it still stays in the mid-to-high 50fps range most of the time).

What do you see when you look at this photo? The image appears to show an enormous, scary face suddenly emerging from the ocean. But what you're actually looking at is a stargazer fish which has buried itself in the sandy floor of the Mediterranean. The photo was taken by Pietro Formis from Italy and is among several to be highly commended in this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Mr Formis explained that he doesn't normally take photos for competitions. He submitted this image because he "liked it a lot" but didn't expect to win any commendation.I'm super happy and I'm counting the days for the ceremony. I think that I will see most of my, I will say colleagues, but they are my heroes and the top of photography so I can't describe how happy I am," Mr Formis said. The overall winners of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition will be announced at an awards ceremony on 10 October. The annual Natural History Museum exhibition showcasing 100 photographs chosen from the thousands that entered the competition will open the following Friday, 13 October, and then as usual, will then go on tour around the world. Scroll down this page, you'll be able to enjoy some of the other highly commended images in what is the 59th year of the contest. Frenzied bee ball wins top wildlife photo award Is this ape really cuddling a pet mongoose? 'Explosive sex' wins top wildlife photo award Atlantic Stargazer fish, whose Latin name is Uranoscopus scaber, are so called because their eyes stick upwards. They are also predators, and in order to catch their prey they hide under sand with only their eyes and mouth visible - that's what you can see in Mr Formis' photo. "To me it looks like a voodoo mask or a human face and those are species that I like most, the species that have a human-like face, with big eyes and big mouth. It's a beautiful animal," Mr Formis said. Mr Formis explained that by using concentrated light from a flash, a slow shutter speed and deliberate movement he managed to photograph the stargazer almost illuminated in the clear blue water. "For me it's like a waterfall and then from behind you see this scary face. I took a few different images, but this one I prefer," he said. Underwater photography has almost become an "obsession" for Mr Formis since his father - also a photographer - took him diving and changed his life. "Going in the water and taking pictures of all the beauty, it's something that I feel privileged to do," he said... https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66604630

The plaques come 41 years after the North Yorkshire Police officers died while on duty By Hayley Coyle BBC News Memorials have been unveiled for two police officers shot dead by a multiple murderer in North Yorkshire. PC David Haigh and Sgt David Winter were both murdered by Barry Prudom in 1982, resulting in the biggest manhunt in British police history. To mark the officers' bravery, the Police Memorial Trust has installed two marble plaques. PC Haigh's memorial is at Norwood Edge, near where he died, and Sgt Winter's is in Malton.PC David Haigh was gunned down by Barry Prudom after encountering him near Norwood Edge Annette Jukes, PC Haigh's widow, told the BBC: "It's a beautiful setting for us to reflect."PC Haigh was also survived by his three sons Carl, Michael and Richard who were 11, eight and three at the time of their father's death. PC Haigh, 29, was delivering a summons to a poacher in Washburn Valley on 17 June when it is believed he encountered "gun-obsessed" Prudom at Norwood Edge.Sgt David Winter was killed by Prudom after he confronted him in Old Malton His body was later found in his patrol car with a single gunshot wound to the head after he failed to respond to a colleague's radio call. Afterwards Prudom, an electrician from Leeds, stormed the house of a farmer and his wife in Girton, Nottinghamshire, and shot them both in the head. The woman survived but was left permanently brain damaged, according to reports. The killings resulted in a 17-day manhunt involving nearly 1,000 armed police.An officer searching for killer Barry Prudom during the manhunt in 1982 During the search, Sgt Winter, 31, approached Prudom in Old Malton on 28 June, and he too was shot dead. During Sgt Winter's plaque unveiling, Det Supt Graeme Wright of North Yorkshire Police said: "Malton felt his loss painfully. "It's vital we demonstrate to our colleagues that we remember those who have fallen." Prudom was an expert in survival from his time in the Territorial SAS. But he was kicked out of the force for being "temperamentally unsuitable", according to historic BBC news reports.

Johnny Kitagawa (pictured on screen) was a J-pop titan who used his immense power to sexually abuse aspiring boyband idols By Shaimaa Khalil & Derek Cai in Tokyo and Singapore The boss of Japan's biggest pop talent agency has resigned after finally admitting the sexual abuse committed by its late founder, Johnny Kitagawa. Julie Fujishima resigned from Johnny and Associates on Thursday during a public apology to her uncle's victims. Her departure comes a week after investigators found Kitagawa abused hundreds of boys and young men over six decades, as head of the boyband agency. A BBC documentary this year about the abuse led more victims to come forward. Johnny Kitagawa died in 2019, having always denied wrongdoing. He never faced charges.On Thursday, his niece and outgoing chief executive Ms Fujishima acknowledged his abuse for the first time. "Both the agency itself and I myself as a person recognise that sex abuse by Johnny Kitagawa took place," she said. "I apologise to his victims from the bottom of my heart." Local media showed some of the victims watching the news conference, some looking visibly angry. At a news conference in Tokyo after Ms Fujishima spoke, some of Kitagawa's victims said they thought her remarks had been sincere and had helped them - but there was a long way to go.Johnny's Sexual Assault Victims' Association president Junya Hiramoto (R) speaks at a news conference in Tokyo "I think she conveyed straight to us a message including talk of assistance, that was well prepared in her own words and not just read from a script," Junya Hiramoto, head of Johnny's Sexual Assault Victims' Association, said. Fellow association member Yukihiro Oshima said: "I think they did apologise sincerely - but it doesn't mean that this has healed me. Out of 100, I'd say it has made a 10% difference." Another man said he'd nothing to be ashamed of. "I've learned that if you decide to act, you can change things. We don't have to walk looking down - we can look forward." The scandal is parallel in its scale and impact on the industry to that of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein who was convicted of rape and sexual assault. Kitagawa was arguably the most influential and powerful figure in Japan's entertainment industry. His agency was the gateway to stardom for many young men through the years. Several victims told the BBC's documentary Predator: The Secret Scandal of J-Pop that they thought their careers would be harmed if they did not comply with Kitagawa's sexual demands.There was talk at the press conference of structural change and many observers believe the organisation is likely to make amends - but it's unclear what that change would look like and how the agency's talents would be managed and protected. There are also big questions about the future of Johnny and Associates as a brand that has been synonymous with fame and glamour, and which has now been so badly and so publicly disgraced.
