    AMD’s FSR 3.1 is here — and Sony’s PlayStation PC games are the first to embrace it.

    Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and both Spider-Man PC games now support the upgrade to AMD’s upscaling and framerate boosting tech. It reduces shimmering, ghosting, and flickering of earlier versions and lets you use frame generation independently of upscaling.

    God of War Ragnarök will also get FSR 3.1 “soon.”

    The Ayaneo Flip DS’s second screen is getting more useful.

    The Nintendo DS-like’s lower screen will soon double as a virtual keyboard, triple as a virtual touchpad, and quadruple as a dual-screen task switcher with the company’s Ayaspace v2.5 software update. Those could all make it a bit easier to navigate Windows handheld!

    Finally, a budget eGPU for people who’ve already got graphics cards and power supplies.

    The Minisforum DEG1 is just $99, it’s already on sale, and your existing desktop PC parts (GPU, PSU) can make it work.

    It connects with Oculink, not USB4, so it won’t work with most laptops — mostly boutique handhelds. But it could be more powerful than existing Oculink eGPUs with a desktop card at its disposal!

    Imagine plugging a gaming handheld into this.

    NBA 2K24 will remove Dr Disrespect from the game,

    The game studio he co-founded also cut ties, and so did peripheral manufacturer Turtle Beach, following my colleague Ash’s reporting that he sent inappropriate messages to a minor. On Tuesday, he shared his side of the story.

    The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses can now record for three minutes straight (up from one).

    I missed half my little girl’s first roller coaster ride because the recording cut off at the minute mark, so I love this for them.

    The only other thing I need is an in-between size of Wayfarer frames — I had to return mine because the 53mm were too loose, but the 50mm squeezed my head and gave me headaches.

    “ICYMI, we started rolling out the v6 update on @raybanmeta”

    Perplexity CEO’s answers are weak.

    Fast Company asked him why his AI search engine is ripping content from paywalled news outlets like Wired, and... hoo boy. He attempted to shift blame to “third-party web crawlers,” refused to identify which ones, said it was too “complicated” to just stop doing that, and suggested it’s not technically illegal to ignore robots.txt. Sure.
