Ten Years of D3D12

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-04 08:45:06

For those of us that have been using it from the start, it can be hard to believe that Direct3D 12 has been around for ten years now. Windows 10 was released on July 29th 2015, and D3D12 has been with us ever since. While it’s true that this is the longest we’ve gone between major D3D version updates, it’s also not fair to say that the API has remained static. On the contrary, D3D12 has received a steady stream of new interfaces, functions, and shader models. These updates have included some ver

China’s souring on Nvidia. Here’s why

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-10-08 00:15:00

Beijing is souring on Nvidia. China, which used to be one of Nvidia’s largest markets, seems largely conflicted about reaccepting Nvidia’s lower-tech H20 chips that Trump administration finally allowed to resume sales of in July. The Chinese tech industry might be excited about the Nvidia chip flow resuming, but the government is allegedly not. Chinese authorities have discouraged local tech companies from purchasing Nvidia chips citing national security concerns, and even questioned industry

The Worst-Selling Nintendo Console Ever Is Returning as a Switch 2 Accessory

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-08 00:51:25

Nintendo is bringing back the most underrated hardware in its storied history as an accessory for the Switch 2. The recreated Virtual Boy still has the classic kickstand and faceplate. However, instead of sporting its own screen, you’ll need to slot in your Switch 2 to create the classic black and red “3D” visuals. At first glance, the new Virtual Boy appears like a pitch-perfect remodel of Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi’s odd kickstand-based console. The main difference is that there’s no scree

A tech company's text-heavy mural in London's trendy Shoreditch area, known for its street art, used the word "VPN" 24 times without actually explaining what a virtual private network is or does. Which was kinda the point. The eye-catching artwork was the creation of VPN provider Surfshark and graffiti art company KingMurals, which collaborated on a PR stunt.

Which iPhone 17 Model Should You Buy?

Apple’s 2025 iPhones are here, and things are quite different for the first time in a while. The base iPhone 17 will still feel familiar, but the iPhone 17 Pro models have a completely new look, and there's a brand-new model called the iPhone Air. The “Air” branding has been somewhat diluted of late—the current-gen iPad Pro models are lighter than the iPad Air—but the iPhone Air brings meaning back to the original idea: a super-thin and ultra-lightweight device.

How an over-the-air update made Quilt’s heat pumps more powerful

The best laptops under $1,000 of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

People tend to equate concepts like "budget" or "low-cost" with poor quality, but that's not true. You can find plenty of high-quality laptops that cost less than $1,000. I'm talking about well-crafted, powerful computers that can compete with the best laptops on the market when tackling productivity and entertainment workloads. It certainly helps that many budget laptops were former high-end devices. Apple, for example, frequently drops the price of older MacBooks whenever a new one comes out.
