Cesar Cadenas/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Shopping for a new computer monitor can be overwhelming with all the metrics and jargon. To cut through the confusion, I recommended focusing on three features: size, panel type, and refresh rate. I'll provide several monitor recommendations for both Windows and macOS machines. So you just bought your perfect laptop or desktop, and you want a new monitor to go along with it. What do you choose?

iOS 26 introduces higher quality screen recordings for iPhone and iPad

9to5mac.com Dylan Mcdonald 2025-10-08 05:37:51

For the first time, iOS 26 will let you record the screen of your iPhone or iPad in its full resolution, resulting in higher-quality and better-looking screen captures. Screen recording was first introduced with iOS 11, finally providing an easy way to capture what’s on your screen without using a computer. Since then, the resolution of those recordings has been limited to a maximum of 1920px in either height or width. This means that all modern iPhones have recorded at 884×1920, which on an iP

8 reasons why I replaced my Kindle with an iPad Mini for reading ebooks

Lance Whitney/ZDNET I like to read in bed before I nod off to sleep. Though I enjoy the feel and texture of a good, old-fashioned printed book, I typically turn to ebooks because they're easier on the eyes. And what do I use as a reader? No, not a Kindle, but my trusty iPad mini. Also: I finally found a tablet that can easily replace my iPad and Kindle (and is affordably priced) I've tried a couple of Kindles in the past, but didn't quite take to them.

Perfecting anti-aliasing on signed distance functions

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-09 17:55:47

← index Doing anti-aliasing on SDF is not as straightforward as it seems. Most of the time, we see people use a smoothstep with hardcoded constants, sometimes with screen space information, sometimes cryptic or convoluted formulas. Even if SDFs have the perfect mathematical properties needed for a clean anti-aliasing, the whole issue has a scope larger than it appears at first glance. And even when trivial solutions exist, it's not always clear why they are a good fit. Let's study that together

Vision Language Models (VLMs) enable visual understanding alongside textual inputs. They are typically built by passing visual tokens from a pretrained vision encoder to a pretrained Large Language Model (LLM) through a projection layer. By leveraging the rich visual representations of the vision encoder and the world knowledge and reasoning capabilities of the LLM, VLMs can be useful for a wide range of applications, including accessibility assistants, UI navigation, robotics, and gaming.

Best Portable Projector for Movies and Gaming Anywhere in 2025

How portable do you really need? Pretty much every projector is "portable" to some degree. Many of the projectors on the best projector list, for example, are small enough to fit in a backpack. They might fill that backpack, but that's their size. If you just want something for the occasional movie night, one of those would be significantly brighter and create a better image. Generally speaking, the smaller the projector, the dimmer it is. How much battery do you need? Most portable projectors

Between 2014 and 2022, DigitalOcean sent free t-shirts to developers who completed the Hacktoberfest challenge. For entirely sensible reasons related to sustainability and spammy entrants, they stopped doing physical merchandise in 2023. I'm the sort of hip fashionista who only wears free conference t-shirts. Sadly, after several years of constant catwalk modelling, my beloved Hacktoberfest shirts are full of holes. I couldn't find any for sale on eBay or Vinted - so I decided to make my own.
