New photos show the iPhone 17 Pro might have a completely different design from current models. Someone leaked pictures of cases for these upcoming phones in several pastel colors. These cases reveal a major change—the camera section will stretch across the entire top instead of sitting on the left side like it does on the iPhone 16 Pro.
The huge camera area will hold three camera lenses, a LiDAR scanner, a microphone, and a flash. Case options appear in light blue, light green, light purple, off-white, and charcoal gray. One image displays a dark gray camera bar on a white phone. This suggests Apple might keep similar color schemes to their current Pro models.
Another source shared similar case images earlier, which makes this leak...
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered might launch today at noon Eastern Time. Fans found a game page on the Virtuos studio website through the Bing search engine. Many insiders agree the game will be release sometime this week. The first leak came from Microsoft trial documents in September 2023, showing Bethesda planned official remasters for both Oblivion and Fallout 3.
More details emerged in January when a former employee's resume revealed the game uses Unreal Engine 5. The remaster improves six areas: HUD, Stamina, Sneak, Blocking, Archery, and Hit Reactions. Screenshots appeared online recently showing major graphics upgrades. The leader of the fan project, Skyblivion, remains positive despite the official remaster competing...
AMD thinks data centers will become less important for AI tasks as phones and laptops take over. Their top tech expert, Mark Papermaster, said companies are moving toward running AI on regular devices instead of massive server farms. He believes most AI processing will happen on personal devices by 2030 as new apps develop for them. This shift comes because running AI in data centers costs much more money than companies want to spend.
AMD takes the AI computer trend seriously compared to Intel and Qualcomm. Their newest chips, like Strix Point, show they want to bring AI power to small devices at lower prices. Papermaster mentioned that companies are working hard to make AI models more accurate and efficient. Eventually, he expects our...
Nintendo Switch players will see DLSS technology working in Cyberpunk 2077 when it releases. CD Projekt RED told Digital Foundry that the game uses a version of NVIDIA DLSS made for the system with Tensor Cores. The upscaling tech works in all four display settings—both docked and handheld modes.
Digital Foundry looked hard at game footage to spot signs of DLSS being used. They found it difficult because of low post-processing quality, but they did find some typical DLSS edge patterns after careful examination. The game aims for 1080p resolution in most modes, except handheld Performance mode, which targets 720p instead.
The game also uses dynamic resolution scaling, which can significantly change the actual resolution. This scaling...
Intel has become active in the graphics card world again after launching its Battlemage GPUs. The company is looking for people to work on new Arc GPUs with GDDR7 memory, which shows Intel wants to keep making desktop graphics cards. Many people thought Intel might give up on desktop GPUs when they didn't share any plans as we neared the end of Q2.
A job posting discovered online reveals Intel plans to use GDDR7 memory technology in future Arc products. This memory will likely appear in their next-generation Celestial GPU lineup rather than the current Battlemage cards. Current Battlemage models use older GDDR6 memory instead. Intel is also developing variants with BMG-G31 chips, which look promising for their standalone graphics card...
South Africa faces a major problem with its budget plan. The finance minister wants to raise the value-added tax by half a percent, but the second-largest party in government disagrees. They even filed a lawsuit to stop this tax increase, which should start on May 1. The finance minister says he has no other options to make the budget work.
The Democratic Alliance voted against the budget law earlier this month, forcing the African National Congress to seek help from parties outside its coalition to pass the first budget bill through parliament. Investors worry about what might happen if the coalition falls apart. They fear a more left-wing party could join the government instead.
Weekend talks between the two main parties did not...
Trump says Powell should leave the Federal Reserve soon. He argues that interest rates need to come down faster because prices for things like oil have fallen. The US president went on social media to complain before Europe cut its rates. He thinks America makes lots of money from tariffs on imports. Trump picked Powell for the job back in 2017.
The European Central Bank lowered interest rates to 2.25 percent due to trade problems. ECB leader Christine Lagarde defended Powell against these attacks. She mentioned having respect for her American colleague. Markets have been very shaky since Trump started new tariffs. The official data shows egg prices actually went up to $6.23 per dozen.
Powell warned that tariffs will hurt economic...
A Beatrice man will spend five years behind bars for having diamonds. Police caught Cephas Mukombwe with two stones worth about $175. He tried selling them with help from Emanuel Chikono, who talked to an undercover officer. They met in downtown Harare, where police searched him. Mukombwe handed over the diamonds from his wallet.
Experts tested the stones—real diamonds weighing 1.64 carats. The 45-year-old claimed he found them making bricks and planned to give them to the police when arrested. He told the court he never knew that keeping precious stones without permission was illegal. The prosecutor called his story unbelievable.
The magistrate agreed with the government lawyer that not knowing the law cannot excuse breaking it. Only...
