Ten Years of D3D12

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-05 09:45:06

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

Over 100 ships have sailed with fake insurance from the Norwegian Ro Marine

All large ships must have insurance, and Ro Marine has provided this in a big way. The Norwegian company did not have permission to sell insurance but did it anyway — to clients worldwide. In March, we reported how select ships used false papers to deceive inspectors in NATO countries. Now, NRK and Dossier Center can reveal how extensive and global the fraud was: over 100 ships have sailed with illegitimate insurance documents from Ro Marine. “It's very serious and unusual that such a seriou

China’s souring on Nvidia. Here’s why

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-10-09 01:15:00

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

How Do You Sell People on VPNs? Just Say 'VPN' Over and Over and Over Again, Apparently

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.

A new Pokémon spinoff is on the way, and it looks very different than any other entry in the long-running franchise. In fact, it looks a little bit like Minecraft — and it’s called Pokémon Pokopia. The game has players controlling a Ditto that has taken on the form of a human, which means that it’s a little cute and also a little creepy. The goal of the game is to shape an empty landscape into a suitable home for some pokémon. That means taming the wilderness, growing crops, and also using a bu

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.
