The gamer that has everything will soon have a new flagship graphics card to lust after. The RTX 3090 Ti is very likely the best Ampere card that will ever be released, and the best of any card until next generation Ada Lovelace cards appear later in the year. The 3090 Ti might be a monster, and on the Nvidia side of things, there are none more powerful than EVGA's Kingpin models. This is a card that’s expected to be one of, if not the most expensive consumer level graphics cards ever, and with its dual 12-pin power connectors, it can provide up to 1275W of juice. Yes. Almost 1.3 KW of power. https://www.pcgamer.com/the-evga-kingpin-rtx-3090-ti-may-feature-1275w-of-power-inputs/

Cloud software giant Blackbaud has announced its intent to acquire "impact-as-a-service" company Everfi for $750 million. Based in Washington, DC, Everfi offers cloud-based online learning tools to private, public, and social sector organisations. Alongside this, Everfi works with a range of groups on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental goals. The synergies between the two businesses are clear: Blackbaud, working with everyone from non-profits to K-12 schools to faith communities and arts organisations, gains another feather in its cap, one that will generate around $120 million in revenue during 2022, rising 20% over 2021, and reaches 45 million learners globally. https://www.techradar.com/news/cloud-giant-blackbaud-acquires-social-saas-company-everfi-for-dollar750-million

The BMW Concept XM has been presented. A preview of the sportier SUV that the Bavarians are developing and that we have seen in tests. The future model will hit the market in 2023, with a design that is generating more controversy than expected, but that will distinguish luxury models with a striking secret. The BMW Concept XM has generated more controversy than the Bavarian brand expected. The advancement of the new sports SUV developed by the sports division has surprised and not so pleasantly precisely, the front design being the area that most displeases fans of the Munich brand, since the rear has much more concept than the front . BMW's design department has embarked on a new strategy that emerged with the new format of the characteristic ovoid grille implanted in the 4 Series, i4 and iX. A style that you have already warned about will only be offered on certain models, so it opens up a new identity for a new generation of models and each one will have a special personality. The goal is to break the "seen one, seen all" barrier. But with the Concept XM he has jumped a lot of steps at once, anticipating a style that will be very different on flagships. https://www.motor.es/noticias/bmw-concept-xm-diseno-202183864.html

It took a lot of time for AMD to release its FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR). But now that it’s upscaling tech is well established in the hands of developers, AMD is taking the opportunity to proudly announce that there are now 71 supporting games either already released, or under development. AMD goes as far as to state that FSR has become “the fastest adopted software gaming tech in AMD history.” A list of current and upcoming FSR supporting games includes some major titles, such as Far Cry 6, F1 2021, Resident Evil Village, Horizon Zero Dawn, Godfall, Deathloop and God of War. These are just some of the titles on a list that's growing rapidly, and it's certainly impressive given that FSR was only released six months ago. AMD’s FSR aims to achieve the same thing as Nvidia’s competing, yet functionally different DLSS technology, which is to upscale game images to a higher resolution. The main difference between the two is that while Nvidia uses an AI-based temporal upscaling method, AMD’s FSR relies on spatial upscaling with no AI. This makes AMDs solution easier to implement. There's also baked in Unity and Unreal Engine support https://www.pcgamer.com/amds-fidelityfx-super-resolution-is-getting-a-lot-of-support/

After seeing the releases of iOS 15 and the subsequent iPhone 13 series, we’re in the midst of .1 updates that are slowly refining features we’ve been seeing since June, including iOS 15.2 and the forthcoming iOS 15.3. That doesn’t stop us from thinking of what could be in the next version of iOS, however, which we expect will be called iOS 16. Every iOS release has brought a major feature to the table, whether that’s widgets or dark mode. But iOS could still benefit from some new refinements to better manage how you use your iPhone every day. https://www.techradar.com/news/ios-16-release-date-rumors-supported-iphones-and-5-features-we-want-to-see

Happy Birthday

The iconic blue oval brand has started the registration process for numerous trade names in Europe. Ford has submitted the application for the registration of the names Capri, Cortina, Escort, Granada and Orion. What is the brand up to? It is not a strategic move exclusively for the European territory. In the automotive industry, it is relatively common for a story to appear from time to time related to the process of registering a trade name at the relevant patent and trademark office. It is a very common practice and, as a general rule, goes unnoticed in the eyes of the public. However, there are times when, for various reasons, the registrations requested by a car brand, jump to the fore and generate a lot of expectation. The last graphic example we have with Ford. The iconic blue oval brand is making headlines for having applied for the registration of numerous names. Some records that have been carried out in Australia, New Zealand and the European Union. Among other trade names is that of Ford Escort, which has sparked a lot of interest. What is the American brand up to? Let's go into detail. https://www.motor.es/noticias/ford-escort-registro-europa-202183844.html

We’ve been singing the praises of Intel’s 12th Gen CPUs since they launched, but right now, only the high end 125W K SKUs are available for purchase. Since Intel assumes that buyers of the i9 12900K, i7 12700K and i5 12600K will buy aftermarket coolers, they don’t come bundled with one. That’s all bound to change next week, as Intel is set to launch a large number of 12th Gen models at CES, including many with a 65W TDP. These models should all come bundled with coolers. But are they any good? Chinese news site NetEase via Tom's Hardware tested one of the new coolers with an upcoming i5 12400 and reported the results. The new cooler seems to be a good step up from older boxed coolers. https://www.pcgamer.com/intels-upcoming-alder-lake-stock-cooler-gets-tested/

Thousands of new domains are registered everyday so that businesses and individuals can build websites but new research from Palo Alto Networks has revealed that cybercriminals often register malicious domains years before they intend to actually use them. The cybersecurity firm's Unit 42 first began its research into dormant malicious domains after it was revealed that the threat actors behind 2019's SolarWinds hack used them in their attack. To identify strategically aged domains and monitor their activity, Palo Alto Networks launched a cloud-based detector in September of 2021. According to the findings of the firm's researchers, 22.3 percent of strategically aged domains pose some form of danger with a small portion being straight-out malicious (3.8%), a majority being suspicious (19%) and some being unsafe for work environments (2%). https://www.techradar.com/news/there-are-more-malicious-domains-online-than-ever-before

Someday this melon will have to be opened. In low-emission areas, where plug-in hybrid cars can always enter, driving in 100% electric mode will become mandatory. However, this limitation is easier to implement with technology. Someday, even hybrid cars will be frowned upon in some European cities for emitting exhaust gases in low-emission areas, even though they pollute less than normal. After all, they still have heat engines, although ideally they shouldn't be used in po[CENSORED]ted areas to improve air quality. Plug-in hybrid cars are ideally designed to do most of the normal mileage without polluting, using only the energy stored in their batteries. For this they have more capacity than a conventional hybrid, which at most a couple of kilometers with the gasoline or diesel engine turned off. However, when the level of the batteries drops, they go on to function like normal hybrids, until enough energy is recovered to get back to running miles without emissions, or until the next charge. The driver can voluntarily choose hybrid mode, as electric is the default mode. https://www.motor.es/noticias/deberia-ser-obligatorio-para-hibridos-enchufables-el-modo-electrico-en-zonas-de-bajas-emisiones-202183773.html

Windows 11 suffers from a bug which is causing colors to be rendered incorrectly – with the most common error cropping up being white showing as yellow – at least with some HDR monitors when running certain image editors. As Tom’s Hardware spotted, this is something Microsoft is actively investigating, and the software giant has flagged it up in the support document which lists the current known issues with Windows 11. Microsoft observes: “After installing Windows 11, some image editing programs might not render colors correctly on certain HDR displays. This is frequently observed with white colors, which could display in bright yellow or other colors. https://www.techradar.com/news/windows-11-bug-is-messing-with-colors-on-some-hdr-monitors

Bugatti is celebrating. The French firm commemorates 112 years of history, an event so special that the hypercar brand has decided to celebrate by launching its new "Bugatti Sur Mesure" customization section. And how could it be otherwise, it has done so by presenting a first proposal on the exclusive Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport. Until now, Bugatti had no problem meeting the most special wishes of its customers, since none of the units that have come out of the Molsheim workshops have been the same as another, differing by some detail on the outside or inside. The possibilities are endless, but even so, customers have asked Bugatti for an express customization department where they can unleash their imagination. Thus was born "Bugatti Sur Mesure", also taking advantage of the 112 years of history of the brand that, in some way, should be celebrated. But the French have not only done it by presenting their new personalization space, but by showing a physical proposal; the best way to demonstrate the capacity and possibilities to offer with the exclusive Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Sur Mesure. The French hypercar has been dressed in truly racing gear, with an attractive color scheme, with the body of the body in an attractive sky blue, which contrasts with the glossy black of the lower part and the red contrails.
