When Nvidia originally showed off DLSS 5 earlier this year, the technology immediately got branded as gen AI for video games. To gamers, Nvidia had lost the plot. I personally couldn't get over how faces were transformed using DLSS 5. The 15-year-old student from Hogwarts Legacy suddenly looked much older, and Grace from Resident Evil Requiem looked yassified.

Now more than six months later, DLSS 5 is about to debut properly in Hogwarts Legacy, and it looks like it has been seriously toned down. Nvidia published new comparison screenshots today, where the changes to faces are as subtle as they are in NBA 2K27. Teenagers no longer look like …

Discovery Plus is raising prices across its ad-free and ad-supported plans. Starting Tuesday, the ad-supported plan will go from $5.99 to $6.99 / month, while the ad-free tier will jump from $9.99 to $11.99 / month.

The price hike comes just one week after Paramount closed its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which owned Discovery Plus and HBO Max. The combined companies, known as Skydance, plan to merge Paramount Plus and HBO Max into "a single service over time," though it's not clear whether Discovery Plus will remain a standalone streamer.

Discovery Plus streams shows from networks like TLC, The Discovery Channel, HGTV, Food Netw …

Experts say there is no evidence that Russian trolls have been affected by Ukraine’s Yandex attacks.

Apple debuted its latest Apple TV 4K - its first in four years - and it'll be available starting Friday, November 13th. It's powerful, with the A19 chip (the now-discontinued 2022 model has the A15 Bionic), and it features better wireless connectivity than its predecessor, too. Siri AI is a big part of this rollout, though it'll work in beta on the second-gen Apple TV 4K models and newer. The new Find My tracking feature works with the second-gen Siri remote and newer.

It's not cheap, costing $299 (twice the original cost of the 2022 Apple TV 4K, until it rose to $249 a few months ago), but those who've been waiting a while for a new versio …
