Nvidia’s new RTX 40-series Super cards. | Image: Nvidia Nvidia is introducing three RTX 40-series Super cards this month that offer more performance at price points that are similar or better than existing cards. Pricing of the RTX 40-series has been a sticking point for gamers‚ particularly for the RTX 4080. Nvidia is replacing this GPU with the RTX 4080 Super and cutting the price to $999 when it launches on January 31st.

Image: The Verge Getty Images and Nvidia are deepening their AI partnership with the launch of Generative AI by iStock‚ a text-to-image platform specifically designed to make stock photos. Generative AI by iStock builds on Getty’s first foray into AI image generation‚ Generative AI by Getty Images. The difference is that the image platform from iStock — a stock photo service owned by Getty — helps individual or single-seat users‚ unlike Getty Images‚ which is more of a multiuser enterprise solution. Trained using Nvidia’s Picasso model‚ Generative AI by iStock only learned from Getty’s creative library and iStock’s stock photo library. It did not train on Getty’s editorial image library to prevent it from generating trademarks or known personalities. “... Continue reading…

Illustration: The Verge The Supreme Court has declined a long-running legal challenge from X Corp.‚ formerly Twitter‚ over whether it can publicly reveal US government demands for user data. X Corp. v. Garland was on a list of denied petitions released this morning. That leaves X with a March 2023 ruling that the First Amendment doesn’t protect Twitter from limits on reporting national security demands — a ruling civil liberties organizations say sets a disappointingly low bar for censorship. Twitter filed its original suit in 2014‚ the year after whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed details of extensive secret US telecoms surveillance. In the wake of those disclosures‚ social networks won the option to report how many demands agencies like the Federal Bureau... Continue reading…

Image: Philips Philips created a new smart lock that doesn’t require a key or a code — all you need is your hand. The company showed off its new $359.99 Wi-Fi Palm Recognition Smart Deadbolt during CES 2024‚ which comes with a built-in palm scanner that unlocks your door when it detects your unique palm print. Philips says its lock can register up to 50 palm vein patterns and identify hands belonging to people of all ages — even if they’re dirty.

You can also unlock the device using the Philips Home Access mobile app. While we’ve already seen tech giants... Continue reading…

Image: Bosch Automated parking isn’t anything new. Every year‚ we get a new concept that purports to put valets out of jobs by using driverless technology to transport and store your car without human intervention. But Cariad‚ the software company owned by Volkswagen‚ and supplier Bosch are hoping to reinvigorate the idea by adding automated electric vehicle charging to the mix. The two German companies envision a system that “guides electric vehicles driverlessly to an unoccupied parking space furnished with a charge spot‚ where a charging robot recharges them automatically.” Once charging is complete‚ the car would autonomously move itself to another unoccupied space‚ freeing up the charging robot to accept another EV. Bosch and Cariad are now... Continue reading…
