Portal RTX came out last November as a showcase for Nvidia's RTX Remix Technology . The software basically takes old Game s and adds ray tracing, the new standard for lighting in Game s. Ray tracing can provide virtual environments with incredibly realistic lighting and shadows, reflecting light beams off different surfaces in ways that are as true to real life as current Technology allows. RTX-enabled Game s undeniably look better, but not everyone was impressed with Portal RTX when it first arrived. Yes, ray tracing did make reflective surfaces shinier and the new textures made gave the Game a definite glow-up, but it also changed the look and feel of Portal in some unexpected ways. Rooms that were merely dark in the original became black holes while brightly lit platforms became reflective pools. As our own Ben Sledge explained in his review, the original Game used lighting as an evocative tool, but Portal RTX used it as a technological cudgel. Related:...

Let's all agree to forget the final minute of the Warriors' 109-104 victory over the Timberwolves on Sunday. That was a circus. But all's well that ends well. And this one ended well for Golden State -- which trailed by as much as 12 in the fourth quarter and was again without the services of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins -- in large part because of Klay Thompson.  If you've settled into the "Thompson isn't what he used to be" narrative, you'll be surprised to learn that he has been scorching hot for almost two months now. He finished with 32 points on Sunday, backing up the 42 he posted in a win over Houston on Friday, and is now averaging better than 26 points per game since Jan. 1.  Over that span, Thompson is hitting 44 percent of the 12 3-pointers he's taking per game. Just this month he's already banked two games with 12 3-pointers, and he has 18 3...

BARCELONA: Nokia (NOKIA.HE) announced plans on Sunday to change its brand identity for the first time in nearly 60 years, complete with a new logo, as the telecom equipment maker focuses on aggressive growth.

Canada is launching a joint federal and provincial investigation into short-video app TikTok over concerns about the Chinese-owned platform's collection, use and disclosure of personal information, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada said on Thursday. The federal privacy regulator , as well as provincial counterparts in Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta, will examine whether TikTok's practices are in compliance with Canadian privacy laws, the commissioner's office said in a statement. They will focus on examining "whether valid and meaningful consent is being obtained for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information," according to the statement. A spokesperson for TikTok said the privacy and safety of users "is always a top priority" and the probe was an opportunity to "set the record straight" on how the company protects the privacy of Canadians. Canada joins governments and regulator s from around the world that have be...

A гагe trove ‘in excellent condition’ includes a coin fragment, сᴜt to make ‘small change,’ that shows a connection between Abbasid Caliphate and гіⱱаɩ Byzantine empire. A гагe hoard of 425 gold coins from the Abbasid Caliphate, dating around 1,100 years ago, was uncovered by teenage volunteers at an archaeological excavation in the center of the country, the Israel Antiquities аᴜtһoгіtу (IAA) announced on Monday. Perhaps for obvious reasons, the IAA did not specify the exасt location of the site where the gold was discovered. The trove was discovered by a group of young people carrying oᴜt volunteer work аһeаd of their mапdаtoгу агmу service. “It was аmаzіпɡ. I dug in the ground and when I exсаⱱаted the soil, saw what looked like very thin leaves,” said teen Oz Cohen. “When I looked аɡаіп I saw these were gold coins . It was really exciting to find such a special and ancient treasure.” Excavation directors Liat Nadav-Ziv and Dr. Elie Haddad said that it wa...

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is still beating its own player record more than 11 years after launch. Not even two weeks ago, CS:GO broke its previous record of 1,308,963 set three years ago by hitting 1,320,219 concurrent players. And now, that record has been raised to 1,324,800 concurrent players after the game surged yet again on February 19. SteamDB has the new record recorded last Sunday at 13:00 UTC. Sundays are usually the highest-population days as people typically are home before the start of the work week, and 13:00 UTC is the time when European gamers are well into their day while North American players are starting to wake up. Related: ALGS New Boys Northeption Are Here To Stay As noted by Game sRadar, CS:GO is Steam’s most popular title by a longshot. With almost double the concurrent player count of Dota 2, more than three times that of Hogwarts Legacy, and more than five times that of Apex Legends, CS:GO is a juggernaut, but with a problematic History ...

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will travel to New York to undergo further testing on his injured right wrist, according to Tim Bontemps. Antetokounmpo left the Bucks' final game before the All-Star break, a 112-100 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, and was diagnosed with a sprain. Early in the second quarter against the Bulls, Antetokounmpo went to contest a layup by Coby White and took an awkward stumble around the basket stanchion. As he fell, he put his right arm out to brace himself and his wrist got jammed. He appeared to be in serious pain in the initial aftermath, and did not even attempt to stay in the Game . After checking out he went back to the locker room and was quickly ruled out for the rest of the night. As a result of his injury , Antetokounmpo did not take part in the Skills Challenge on All-Star Saturday Night in Salt Lake City. Bucks point...

Soulsborne Game s change a lot after the first few months from launch. Broken weapons and gear get nerfed, unexpected workarounds and glitches get patched out, and quality-of-life tweaks begin to crop up. Elden Ring is no different, and now fans are looking back at all the things that brand-new players jumping into it now will never be able to experience. One of the big ones is a controversy that happened not long after launch - the Volcano Manor walls. If you don't remember (or if it was before your time), players discovered a wall that would vanish after being hit 50 times. Countless conspiracy theories cropped up - it's a secret, it leads to a hidden area, it's hiding treasure (like illusory walls do), or it's DLC! Right, right? Nope, glitch. And it got patched out, so you can't try it anymore.

GTA 5 might be one of the best-selling Game s of all time, but people of a certain age would argue the series peaked during its PS2 run of Game s. Game s that featured some notoriously difficult missions, and since the internet wasn't what it is today, fellow players couldn't share workarounds for difficult missions like the one below in Vice City's Four Iron mission. Players are tasked with kitting Tommy out in golf gear so he can blend in to take down a target who can be found at the club's driving range. There are two things that make that incredibly difficult. Having to leave all your guns at the golf club door, and the gaggle of security guards waiting to fight you off as you try to complete your mission. RELATED: How A Pixar Lawsuit Over Unicycles Led To Grand Theft Auto If the Four Iron mission is one that continues to bother you years later, Vile35 has shared a pretty neat way to clear it with relative ease.

On an episode of The Kardashians that aired September 29, the model and reality TV star Kendall Jenner revealed that a doctor-administered brain scan confirmed that she “100 percent has anxiety.” Jenner certainly isn’t alone: An estimated 40 million Americans have an anxiety disorder, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Because many of these people wait years before seeking help, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), a group of experts who draw up voluntary health guidelines for Americans, recently released draft guidance recommending that doctors screen all adults under age 65 for anxiety at wellness checkups. If you have anxiety or suspect that you do, Jenner’s claim may have you wondering if a brain scan could give you some answers about what you’re experiencing. The psychiatrist Allison Young, MD, an adjunct professor of psychiatry at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine in New York City and a medical reviewer for...

There’s no better feeling than slipping into a bed with clean, fresh sheets - but a doctor has warned many are probably not changing them enough. Dr Karl Kruszelnicki has offered a simple guide explaining exactly how often you should be changing your main bed linen. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Dr Karl on changing sheets. For more Health & Wellbeing related news and videos check out Health & Wellbeing >> “How often are you washing your sheets? Science says probably not enough,” Dr Karl said in a TikTok video. The Australian scientist suggested people should be changing their sheets once every two weeks. However, if you’re in a sweaty environment, he recommended replacing them twice a week. “Why do you have to change your sheets ? Well, every day you generate from your skin about one-and-a-half grams of dead skin cells which both attract and are enough food for a million dust mites,” Dr Karl said. “On top of that, your skin exudes oils and sweat and then, on the other hand wh...
