They are accompanied by their pet when they go to rob a house. The dog was captured by various surveillance cameras, which made it possible to identify the address of the criminals. A dog that is the pet of two criminals became the key that allowed the police to identify and arrest both subjects for a robbery that last week affected a home in the city of Coyhaique, the capital of Aysén. As explained by the PDI, on February 28 the thugs took the dog on their criminal journey, and it was recorded by different security cameras in the commune, which later made it easier to trace the round trip of the group to their own home. "It is established through different surveillance cameras that these people were accompanied by a dog, an antecedent that was relevant to the investigative process," said the sub-prefect Víctor Toledo. "Within the criminal dynamics, this animal was also transferred from the site of the event to the property where the perpetrators of the act live, allowing to establish the addresses and position these defendants at the site of the event," said the officer. The defendants -a 27-year-old foreigner and an 18-year-old Chilean- entered the property by jumping over a wall and forcing access, stealing goods valued at 10 million pesos, including medical items, electronics and jewelry. "Thanks to the procedures and follow-ups carried out by the PDI, the identification of the two individuals who participated in this robbery and the recovery of all the species was achieved," said prosecutor José Moris. "The defendants were formalized for robbery in an inhabited place and, as drugs were found at the time of their arrest, they were also charged with drug trafficking": 640 doses of cannabis and 3.2 grams of cocaine hydrochloride, valued at three million 440 thousand pesos, in addition to cash, were seized in the procedure. The two thieves were subjected to the precautionary measure of preventive detention. https://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/pais/region-de-aysen/ladrones-fueron-detenidos-por-culpa-de-su-perro/2023-03-08/124056.html

Revue de presseLa Fédération des loueurs d’automobile sans chauffeurs au Maroc (Flascam) proteste contre les dispositions du nouveau cahier des charges organisant le secteur, jugé peu contraignant. Son opposition concerne notamment le capital exigé de l’entreprise de location de voitures et le nombre minimum de véhicules dont elle doit disposer. Une revue de presse tirée de Finances News Hebdo.epuis le 15 avril 2024, un nouveau cahier des charges est entré en vigueur pour le secteur de la location de voitures sans chauffeurs. Il y aura une période transitoire jusqu’au 29 mars 2025 pour permettre à tous les professionnels du secteur de se conformer aux nouvelles exigences. A travers cette initiative, le ministère des Transports veut assurer une restructuration de l’activité.Le nouveau cahier des charges, résume le magazine Finances News Hebdo, exige notamment un nombre minimum pour la flotte de voitures, l’inscription de l’entreprise à la CNSS et un siège social en propriété ou en location. L’agrément est accordé à une personne qui a un lien direct avec l’entreprise (dirigeant, actionnaire ou salarié). Elle doit disposer d’un niveau d’instruction d’au moins de technicien spécialisé ou d’un diplôme d’études universitaires, ou encore avoir un niveau bac plus une expérience d’au moins deux ans dans le domaine de la location de voitures. Elle sera responsable juridiquement des contrats signés ainsi que de l’entretien et de l’état des véhicules.Le nouveau cahier des charges fixe le capital des agences de location de voitures à au moins 500.000 dirhams entièrement libéré. Le nombre de véhicules minimum par agence est fixé à 5. La durée de l’exploitation des véhicules ne doit pas dépasser 5 ans pour les moteurs thermiques, 6 ans pour les moteurs hybrides et 7 ans pour les voitures électriques. Sauf que les professionnels n’y trouvent pas leur compte. Regroupant plus de 2.000 adhérents et une flotte de 80.000 véhicules, la Fédération des loueurs d’automobile sans chauffeurs au Maroc (Flascam) réagit. Cité par Finances News, Tarik Dbilij ne cache pas sa colère. «Avant de lancer une nouvelle mouture, il faut d’abord s’assurer que l’ancien cahier des charges a été bien appliqué. La crise sanitaire a révélé que l’activité est vulnérable», indique-t-il. «Nous sommes un acteur économique de premier ordre. Le secteur a acquis 47.000 véhicules neufs en 2023, soit 37% du marché. Nous participons au renouvellement du parc automobile national», ajoute-t-il. Pour lui, il faut au minimum un capital de 1 million de dirhams pour qu’une agence soit viable. La Fédération a initié une enquête mise à la disposition du ministère des Transports prouvant que pour être rentable, une agence de location de voitures doit disposer d’au moins 15 véhicules. «Nous avons également sollicité la mise en place d’un cahier des charges annexe pour la location de motos ainsi que pour les véhicules de plus de 3,5 tonnes ou plus de 9 places. Seule notre demande de location de motos a été retenue», indique Dbilij. https://fr.le360.ma/economie/location-de-voitures-les-professionnels-vent-debout-contre-la-nouvelle-reglementation_JRMAYG2NMRGWVBFF2PNFZUZQPU/

Australian scientists say they have made the world's first diagnosis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in a professional female athlete. Studies on the degenerative brain disease, linked to contact sports, are usually carried out on male athletes. The diagnosis was made on the brain of Heather Anderson, an Australian Rules footballer who took her own life last year aged 28. Scientists say the case could be "the tip of the iceberg" for women in sport. CTE causes an increased risk of mental illness and has also been linked to dementia, but can only be diagnosed post-mortem. Scientists believe it is caused by repeated head knocks and concussions, with a study by 13 academic institutions last year finding "conclusive evidence". Research into the condition has been growing in recent years - with more than 300 cases identified in American football alone. In Australia, high-profile male Australian Rules footballers Danny Frawley, Shane Tuck and Polly Farmer were diagnosed with CTE, as was rugby league player-turned-coach Paul Green. But study of CTE in female sports stars has been limited. Ms Anderson's family donated her brain to the Australian Sports Brain Bank (ASBB), in the hope of better understanding her death. She played eight professional games in the top-tier Australian Football League Women's (AFLW). She suffered several injuries throughout her career including at least one concussion. A talented defender, she was known for wearing a bright pink helmet during matches before her retirement in 2017. Prof Michael Buckland, who co-authored the study, said Ms Anderson's brain had three clear lesions, including in parts of the organ that regulate movement, problem-solving, memory, language, and behaviour. Prof Buckland told the BBC that people suffering from CTE often experience a wide range of mental health issues, and that Ms Anderson's family had told him "in some ways" the findings "made a lot of sense". "Depression, anxiety, irritability, impulsivity, drug and alcohol use, suicidal thoughts, as well as actions of suicide are common," he said. He added that Ms Anderson's family were grateful for the research and might encourage more studies into how head injuries affect women in sport. "I think [Ms Anderson] is a sentinel case. There's certainly a real need for a focus on females in this space," he said. It comes as sporting bodies globally are under pressure to improve concussion protocols and protect players. In Australia, more than 60 former AFL players are suing the league for up to A$1bn (£526m; $668m) in compensation for the serious damage concussions have allegedly caused them. Similar cases have also been launched in the US and the UK, where almost 400 players have joined a class action. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-66094187

95-year-old woman who was Tasered by police at an Australian care home, sparking a public outcry, has died. Clare Nowland was critically injured after police responded to reports she was wandering around the home with a steak knife at about 04:00 last Wednesday. New South Wales Police (NSW) said she died "surrounded by family and loved ones". The officer who Tasered Mrs Nowland has been charged with assault. The 33-year-old senior constable will face court in early July on charges of recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and common assault. He remains suspended from duty with pay while investigations continue. Mrs Nowland lived in a care home in the town of Cooma about 114km (71 miles) south of Canberra, Australia's capital city. NSW Police said their thoughts and condolences "remain with those who were lucky enough to know, love, and be loved by Mrs Nowland during a life she led hallmarked by family, kindness and community." Last week, police said she was "armed" with a steak knife. On Friday, they confirmed that she required a walking frame to move and the officer discharged his Taser after she began approaching "at a slow pace". Mrs Nowland is believed to have suffered a fractured skull and a serious brain bleed after falling and hitting her head during the incident. It has prompted calls for a state parliamentary inquiry and the release of police bodycam vision of the confrontation. In a statement, Mrs Nowland's family said she was a "well respected, much loved and a giving member of her local community" and the "loving and gentle-natured matriarch of the Nowland family." They have asked for privacy following her death. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65696475

Whatsapp-696x452.jpg WhatsApp plans to drop support for certain Android and iOS phones on 24 October 2022. The messaging platform usually does this when it wants to introduce functionality on the app that may not work on older phone versions. This time iOS 10, iOS 11, iPhone 5, and iPhone 5C will be catching the axe, according to TechCentral. Users who want to keep using the Meta-owned platform operating on iOS 10 and 11 will have to update to iOS 12 if they want to keep using the app. This means that iPhone 5 and 5C users will be left behind because iOS 12 is not available on the devices. It’s only fair because these devices are among the oldest Apple iPhones, almost a decade old. They don’t have the latest technology to run certain functions in this day and age. Users can still continue using WhatsApp on iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6S, but they will need to update their iOS version to iOS 12. According to WABetaInfo, a lot of users claimed that WhatsApp is dropping support for iOS 10 at the end of the previous year, which according to the publication which first aired the news, was false. The Meta-owned platform said the following operating systems are supported for both iOS and Android: Android running OS 4.1 and newer iPhone running iOS 12 and newer The messaging platform says that their criteria when choosing devices to drop include looking at older devices that have fewer people using them and do not have the latest security updates. It says that it, however, will notify users directly on WhatsApp if their device doesn’t have the required operating system. Users will also be reminded a few times to upgrade their operating systems. https://www.itnewsafrica.com/2022/05/whatsapp-is-dropping-support-for-these-apple-iphone-devices/

There is a component in motherboards that has been losing importance over time and has become something almost testimonial. We are talking about the chipset. Does its existence still make sense today or is it a ploy to sell motherboards at different prices? One of the great secrets of the industry is that the motherboard chipset is an almost dispensable part right now, but they need its implementation to be able to sell CPUs much cheaper by forcing the sale of different board models. base with different specifications. However, the day will come when this will no longer be sustainable. Motherboard chipset is getting smaller and useless As time has passed and chips have been made with smaller transistors, much of the circuitry that crowded motherboards has been reduced. The highlight came when the memory controller, the so-called Northbridge, was absorbed by the central processor and already in recent generations certain high-speed interfaces, especially PCI Express, have also been absorbed by the CPU. Today, the chipset of a motherboard is nothing more than the concentrator of various low-speed peripheral interfaces, which, if placed on the main chip, would end up expanding the area and cost of the chip due to the need to place them on the periphery. . The solution? Connect the chipset through a high-speed bus and let it be in charge of concentrating all the additional connectivity to a single chip. Of course, to fully understand what the level of cut has been, we have to take into account that the management of the graphics card, the communication with the RAM memory and incidentally with the main SSD unit is done through the units that They are located in the central processor. What's more, the chipset for practical purposes is still an expansion card to add more ports, but on the same PCB as the motherboard. Would it be better if it was an expansion card? We are not saying it to say, normally a series of PCI Express lines or an interface of the same speed are associated to communicate with the chipset. These lines can be routed to a PCIe x4 connector and give us two different options: Install a second M.2 SSD in the PC in case we need extra high-speed storage. Have an expansion card with ports for additional peripherals. However, the trap of the current chipset is not found in the fact of granting more ports for peripherals, but in including a series of extra components that are connected to it. We are talking about things like integrated sound cards or network cards. However, their work does not depend on the chipset, but rather they are connected to the chipset and this could be solved by connecting each of them to a single PCIe line. After all, they do not require more bandwidth to work. The reality is that in the end we find ourselves with a large number of ports on motherboards that we do not use and still pay for it. The fact of giving us the opportunity to choose the expansion capacity of our PC would be much better, apart from being a better way to take better advantage of the less and less used expansion card slots beyond the use of the corresponding graphics card. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/chipset-placa-base-tarjeta-expansion/

3jaaUGfxSq8rdfh2fzp5cX-970-80.jpg.webp Just a day after Rob2628 became the first Diablo 4 player in the world to reach level 100 at normal difficulty, former StarCraft 2 and Dota pro cArn_ has claimed the Hardcore crown as the first to accomplish the task in the unforgiving permadeath mode. Normally, death in Diablo 4 is not a big deal: Your equipment loses a bit of durability (which can be repaired by your local blacksmith) and life generally goes on. In Hardcore mode, however, life decidedly does not go on: When you die, you stay dead, and you have to start over from square one. Caution is therefore vital, although it's not always enough: As many players have learned (to their great frustration, no doubt), If you glitch out, you're gone. That makes progress to level 100, the maximum level in Diablo 4, slower than it is in the standard mode—you can't just hammer your way to the top, after all. But not that much slower, as it turns out. And with a surprise winner, too: Less than 24 hours ago, Ashava solo-killer Wudijo was in the lead at level 87, with streamer ben_ in second at level 85. But according to Twitch tracker D4race.com, both have been left in the dust by cArn_ and his "team," who he thanked for supporting his effort: Zizaran, Steelmage, and Nugiyen, all of whom are right behind him on the leaderboard. The win means cArn_ will have his name carved into Blizzard's Lilith statue—as required by the rules, he's already submitted his claim to the official Diablo 4 Twitter account, which has been acknowledged by Diablo global community development director Adam Fletcher.Diablo 4 is new, but cArn__ comes to it with valuable experience in the genre: His Twitch page says he now mainly plays the action RPG Path of Exile, "in all [competitive] Gauntlets and other events that come up." It's an undeniably impressive feat, and one that I personally would never even think about trying—I don't have the patience to be careful for extended periods of time. If you'd like to play Diablo 4 the cArn_ way, he recently shared a video breaking down his powerful Rend Thorns Barbarian build. It seems to work pretty well. https://www.pcgamer.com/diablo-4-already-has-its-first-level-100-hardcore-character-and-its-not-who-you-think/

President Emmanuel Macron has described rioting in the French-Pacific territory of New Caledonia as an "unprecedented insurrection movement" that no-one saw coming. During a tour of police headquarters in the capital Nouméa on Thursday, he said the coming days and weeks would be difficult, but Paris would "go until the end" to restore calm. Six people, including two police officers, have been killed and hundreds more wounded in riots, looting and arson triggered by a controversial electoral reform. New Caledonia, a group of islands between Australia and Fiji, has been a French territory since the 19th Century. Tensions have been high for some time between the central government in Paris and indigenous Kanaks who make up about 40% of the tiny archipelago. Kanak protesters fear that a new law giving voting rights to French residents who have lived there for more than 10 years will dilute the influence of the indigenous po[CENSORED]tion. However, the violence that began on 13 May is the worst unrest seen there since the 1980s. A state of emergency has been imposed and President Macron has said that a 3,000-strong force deployed from France will remain - even during the Paris Summer Olympics if required. Arriving in Nouméa after a 24-hour flight from Paris, President Macron said he wanted the return of peace, calm and security "as quickly as possible". "That is the absolute priority," the French leader said. He paid respects to the victims of the riots, as he met local political and business leaders. The summit included separatist leaders, who said beforehand that they hoped it could "breathe new life" into discussions with France. Mr Macron admitted that the most delicate conversation to be had was that of politics - and of the future of New Caledonia, the BBC's Australia correspondent Katy Watson reports, adding that he will have a huge job on his hands. Police have held 269 people since the violence began on 13 May, and New Caledonia is currently under a state of emergency. But Mr Macron hinted that the emergency status could be lifted in the coming days, saying: "I personally believe that the state of emergency should not be extended". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cxxxn68zr06o

Egypt's interior ministry said that security forces have located a private vehicle carrying weapons and explosives in Giza's Faisal district which initial investigations show was used to transfer the explosive device used in Friday's attack on a security checkpoint in Giza that killed six policemen, Al-Ahram Arabic website reported on Tuesday. Security forces defused an explosive device found in the car, which turned out to be stolen. The ministry said that two suitcases were found in the vehicle. In the first, security forces found a pistol, automatic rifle and ammunition, while in the second they found material used to manufacture explosives as well as a container for transporting explosive devices. Security forces are intensifying their search to arrest the militants responsible for Friday's attack. Six policemen were killed and three others were injured early Friday morning in a bomb blast in Giza governorate's Haram district. Attacks against security forces have become common in recent years but are largely concentrated in North Sinai, where Egypt's army and police are battling an entrenched Islamist insurgency. A little-known Egyptian militant group which calls itself "Hasm" claimed responsibility for Friday's bomb attack. The group has claimed a number of other attacks on police checkpoints in recent months. This explosion was the first of three attacks inside a week. On Friday, another bomb exploded on Kafr El-Sheikh international road, killing one civilian and injuring three policemen. On Sunday, twenty-four people were killed and 49 injured when a bomb exploded inside the prayer hall of a church attached to St. Mark's Coptic Cathedral in Cairo, in one of the deadliest attacks on Egyptian Christians in recent years. https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/252002/Egypt/Politics-/Egyptian-police-locate-vehicle-used-to-transport-e.aspx

Leo Messi's Inter Miami announced this Thursday that it sold out its season tickets for the 2024 MLS season, before the calendar for the new season was known, the Florida club reported in a statement. With about three months left until the new season starts, enthusiasm and demand for tickets remains at its highest in Miami due to the desire to see Messi play.

Russia has started preparations for missile drills near Ukraine simulating the use of tactical nuclear weapons in response to "threats" by Western officials. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said recent statements by French President Emmanuel Macron and the British Foreign Secretary David Cameron constituted a "completely new round of escalation of tension". Last week, Mr Macron refused to rule out potentially deploying French troops, should Kyiv request them, while Lord Cameron said that Ukraine had the right to use British weapons for strikes within Russia. On Monday, Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Lord Cameron's "hostile outburst" contradicted previous British assurances that the long-range missiles sent to Ukraine would not be used on Russian territory and meant that the UK was a "party to the conflict". The ministry added that the response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russia could involve targeting any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond. It also said that Mr Macron's statement on possible deployment of French troops to Ukraine could be considered as "readiness for direct confrontation with Russia". Both the British and the French ambassadors in Moscow were summoned on Monday. The tactical nuclear weapons drills announced on Monday were ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to TASS news agency. They were expected to take place "in the near future" and would involve missile formations as well as air and naval forces. Tactical nuclear weapons are small nuclear warheads and delivery systems intended for use on the battlefield, or for a limited strike. They are designed to destroy enemy targets in a specific area without causing widespread radioactive fallout. Strategic nuclear weapons, on the other hand, are large and designed to be fired at a long range - for example, between continents. Russia holds regular drills with strategic nuclear weapons. In April, Belarus's long-time leader Alexander Lukashenko said "several dozen" tactical nuclear weapons were stationed in his country. A Ukrainian military intelligence spokesman dismissed the announcement that drills would take place, calling it "nuclear blackmail". But Nato spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah said it was "dangerous and irresponsible" and stated that Nato remained "vigilant". Following a meeting in Paris with Mr Macron and Chinese President Xi Jinping, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that she hoped President Xi would help de-escalate Russia's "irresponsible" nuclear threats. Russia's sabre-rattling come on the eve of President Vladimir Putin's inauguration for a fifth presidential term. Ukraine's foreign ministry has said it will no longer regard Vladimir Putin as a legitimate president after his inauguration and has urged other countries and international organisations to follow suit. However, a French diplomatic source quoted by Reuters said the French ambassador would attend the ceremony. Germany and several other European countries have ruled out sending their envoys. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq5npwdv3wzo

WhatsApp has begun rolling out support for a new feature that will allow you to log in to your account using the biometric authentication mechanism on your smartphone. The messaging service will soon allow you to create a passkey — a kind of login credential that eliminates the need to use or remember a password — on your device and use it to securely log in to apps and services using the facial recognition or fingerprint scanner on your device. Feature tracker WABetaInfo spotted the new passkey feature on WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.20.4 on Tuesday, that is rolling out to beta users. However, not all users who have updated to the latest beta release will have access to the feature, which is reportedly rolling out to a "limited number of beta testers". Gadgets 360 was unable to access the feature on two different Android smartphones that are both enrolled in the beta program. Authenticating using passkeys isn't a novel concept and the technology is slowly gaining traction online— Google already allows you to log in to a new device by using fingerprint-based biometric authentication for passkeys in place of a password. These passkeys are securely stored on your device and used when biometric authentication is provided. The screenshot posted by WABetaInfo also states that WhatsApp will store the passkey in the device's password manager — for most users, that would be the device's default password store that is handled by Google with autofill support. The feature is also expected to make its way to iOS, where it is likely to be stored in the iOS Keychain. It is currently unclear whether WhatsApp will also support storing passkeys in third-party apps like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane. We can expect to learn more about how the feature works when it is rolled out to more users in the beta program and the feature is expected to arrive on all smartphones on the stable channel in the future. https://www.gadgets360.com/apps/news/whatsapp-beta-passkey-support-login-biometric-unlock-fingerprint-face-id-password-manager-4407108

Insatgram-Threads-Title-728x410.jpg Meta's new Threads app is finally available on iOS and Android, and the platform has received plenty of traction at launch. It has not even been 12 hours since the release, and the app has successfully crossed the 10 million download mark. Threads is Meta's answer to Twitter and the changes it is placing forth lately. It behaves a lot like Twitter as well when it comes to replies, sharing media, and much more. If you already have an Instagram account, the entire process of jumping to Threads will be a lot simpler. Meta launches Threads app to take on Twitter, and it has gained a lot of attention in a matter of hours As mentioned earlier, Meta's Threads is a microblogging platform similar to Twitter, and it will take time for users to get accustomed to the new ways. However, it is not yet known how the market will respond to it, but initial views have been positive so far. The platform is not only available on iOS and Android, but you can use it on your desktop as well. In terms of specifics, the Threads app supports text-based posts that can go up to 500 characters. You also have the availability to share photos, gifs, as well as short 5-minute videos. The media aspect of the app is different than Instagram but very similar to Twitter. You can not access additional video content in the form of Reels, so you will have to stick to Instagram for that. It features a minimalistic interface with a main feed page that contains recommendations as well as threads from people you have followed. Currently, the Threads app does not give you the option to choose between the two, but it could be added later on. The clean interface allows you to focus on the text and the content with little to no distractions.

Instagram-Threads.jpg The app also brings various privacy and security controls from the Instagram app such as blocking words and limiting people to reply to your thread. You can make your account private or public as well. If you are on Instagram, you can easily sign up for Threads and follow the same people. As mentioned earlier, Threads is Meta's answer to Twitter and the number of issues it is running into these days. The app has crossed more than 10 million downloads in just 7 hours of launch. This shows people are looking for a dedicated platform to replace Twitter in its own game. However, the market feedback remains to be seen. We are gradually seeing celebrities and brands joining the platform, and the outcome could be a thread threat to Twitter. If you are up for it, Meta's Threads app can be downloaded from the App Store and Play Store. You can also use the app on your desktop so you always stay in touch with the latest news. We will share more details on Threads and how to use it in the future, so be sure to stick around. link:https://wccftech.com/twitter-rival-threads-is-available-on-ios-and-android-crosses-a-whopping-10-million-downloads-in-just-7-hours/

R4PKpLGxzHPHVbqxPfjvDY-650-80.jpg.webp Benchmarks from QuasarZone show that a near tripling in performance can be achieved in some games by using both DLSS Frame Generation combined with AMD's Fluid Motion Frames. This is possible thanks to a multi-GPU solution that allows an Nvidia 40-series GPU to render using DLSS Frame Generation and then have an AMD GPU to take that output and generate even more frames via Fluid Motion Frames. So pairing two of the best graphics cards for maximum faked frames is possible. Practical? That's a different story, and there are quite a few caveats to this dual Nvidia-AMD setup that makes it unlikely to be useful in practice. How QuasarZone got this working is a little tedious. It installed both an RTX 4090 and an RX 6600 into its test system, installed drivers for both, and then had the primary display hooked into the 6600. Then in Windows, it selected the 4090 as the rendering GPU, which allowed the 4090's DLSS 3 Frame Generation content to pass through the 6600, which could then allow AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) to generate even more frames. In Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield, the performance boost with both DLSS 3 and AFMF enabled was nearly 3X. Starfield's results were achieved even without DLSS Frame Generation, which isn't supported in the game. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart saw roughly a doubling in performance. It certainly sounds impressive on a surface level. However, this solution isn't exactly without problems. First, it requires having two GPUs, one from Nvidia and one from AMD. Thankfully, even an RX 6600 is sufficient for the AFMF aspect, but that's still an extra $180, more space taken up, and more heat being generated. More critically, the performance claims require a bit of an asterisk. Although combining DLSS and AFMF resulted in a big increase to the average framerate, the 1% low framerate either didn't budge much or went slightly down. Ideally, the 1% low framerate or 99th percentile framerate will be as close to the average FPS as possible. Increasing the average FPS while decreasing the 1% low FPS could result in a choppier and less smooth experience. Finally, there's ample opportunity for visual quality to take a big hit. QuasarZone didn't show any screenshots or videos in its testing, but just thinking logically about what's going on gives plenty of cause for concern. We know that both frame generation technologies don't leave visuals 100% intact, and combining two of them seems like a recipe for disaster. Plus, user input latency should be atrocious. The 4090 would sample user input once for every two frames, and then AFMF would try to double down on that, meaning one input sample would be used for every four frames that get sent to the display. For all of these reasons, it's very unlikely we'll see gamers picking up two GPUs to see a potentially big boost in performance. It's almost like CrossFire and SLI, which were also multi-GPU technologies that didn't exactly work well. Of course, CrossFire and SLI at least were officially supported; combining DLSS and AFMF isn't and almost certainly never will be. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/combining-nvidia-dlss-amd-fluid-motion-frames-potentially-boosts-framerate-up-to-three-times

Today, Epic Games announced the public release of Unreal Engine 5.2, the next major version of the third-party engine of choice for most triple-A game developers. Unreal Engine 5.2 comes with many new features and improvements. Let's lead with what's plagued many PC games lately, chiefly made with Unreal Engine 4: stuttering. The previous release, UE 5.1, had introduced an experimental PSO precaching system to improve hitching in DirectX12 games. In UE 5.2, the performance and stability have been increased, and the system now supports skipping drawing objects altogether if the relative PSOs aren't ready yet. While the goal is to have them ready, there is no guarantee they will be. With the new support for skipping, the stuttering shouldn't happen if the PSO hasn't been compiled. Epic also reduced the number of caches to compile in Unreal Engine 5.2 thanks to improved logic that smartly finds those that would never actually be used. Lastly in this area, the old manual caching system can now be used alongside the automated precaching one. Unfortunately, it may take a while before game developers switch to the new version to take advantage of these additions. The virtualized geometry system Nanite has received some improvements, too. There is now support for Custom Depth and Stencils, Lighting Channels, and Global Clip Plane; Variable Precision Normals are available to create, for instance, high-quality reflections on cars; and the Nanite Streamer, which fetches geometry data from the disk, has had its performance, stability, and statistics improved. Lumen, the other major UE5 feature, benefits from improved global illumination and occlusion for thin geometry (such as ears) on characters, and the hair grooms are integrated more seamlessly. High-quality reflections on translucency have received material roughness support (they were limited to mirror-only) in Unreal Engine 5.2, and software ray tracing now defaults to using Asynchronous Compute for consoles. Hardware ray tracing now supports two-sided foliage and can better approximate secondary bounces for reflections. Epic also added Async Compute support for inline ray tracing passes, and ray traced shadows for Rect Lights and lights with a source size are more accurate in this new version. Rough surface rendering for human skin types has been improved. Moreover, Unreal Engine 5.2 expands Variable Rate Shading (VRS) from XR devices to desktop and adds Contrast Adaptive Shading (CAS) to analyze the previous frame and better understand which areas should be rendered at reduced shading rates. Game developers are also likely to appreciate big new features like the Procedural Content Generation Framework, which is useful to quickly po[CENSORED]te large areas or even worlds after defining rules and parameters, and Substrate, a brand new tool that replaced the standard suite of shading models with a modular framework that supports a wider range of surface appearances, capable of providing a better layered look. https://wccftech.com/unreal-engine-5-2-out-now-adds-improvements-to-anti-stuttering-system-enhances-lumen-and-nanite/
