A default TV setting is ruining your viewing experience - here's the quick fix that experts recommend

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2025-12-07 17:36:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET For many people, motion smoothing on TVs is only appropriate for gaming and watching live sports; enthusiasts typically prefer turning off the feature to watch anything else because it can detract from the filmmaker's original intent, making on-screen images seem artificial or hyper-realistic. This is what's called the "soap opera effect." Also: How to turn off ACR on your TV (and why you shouldn't wait to do it) It's a perfectly descriptive metaphor that probably requires no

First we built a user interface (UI) when the application was just going to be operated by humans. There’s a whole branch of study around good and bad patterns in that design practice, focusing on how we make things easily operable by humans. Then we added an application programmable interface (API) when we wanted the application to be operated by other applications - integrated programs.

The Trump administration has finally issued new guidance that states can use to dole out $5 billion in funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, after spending months withholding the money. A coalition of states sued over the funding freeze in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was one of the administration’s many attempts to stop funding appropriated by Congress at the start of Donald Trump’s second term.

This quantum radar could image buried objects

technologyreview.com Sophia Chen 2025-12-09 02:00:00

The glass cell that serves as the radar’s quantum component is full of cesium atoms kept at room temperature. The researchers use lasers to get each individual cesium atom to swell to nearly the size of a bacterium, about 10,000 times bigger than the usual size. Atoms in this bloated condition are called Rydberg atoms. When incoming radio waves hit Rydberg atoms, they disturb the distribution of electrons around their nuclei. Researchers can detect the disturbance by shining lasers on the atoms
