Cyberpunk 2077: New Mod release to optimize Ray-Tracing

0

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure story set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour, and body modification. You play as V, a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality. You can customize your character’s cyberwar, skillset, and playstyle, and explore a vast city where the choices you make shape the story and the world around you.

The most anticipated game of the year is a storehouse for a lot of bugs, not the bio-organisms. The performance has also taken a hit, poor Keanu. But the modders and developers around the world are working tirelessly to make the game what it’s supposed to be.

Created by modder ‘Romelsalwi’, the “Optimized Raytracing Setting” mod for the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077, changes around some of the default Ray Tracing values that the game uses, allowing for performance boosts on some setups.

Installation is easy and only requires users to copy the downloaded files in the  “\Cyberpunk 2077\engine\config\platform\pc” folder. Those interested should give this new Ray Tracing optimization mod a try through Nexusmods.

Running the game with ray-tracing requires a powerful rig, and is not currently possible on average systems. The new Mod aims to change that particular concept and will optimize the performance of the game, using ray-tracing features.

Nonetheless, the new mod will not make any noticeable changes to the game’s performance, but it’s better to have something than nothing. As for the latest update from the game, it’s still kicked out from the house of Sony’s PlayStation 5. For future updates stay tuned.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available now globally for PC, consoles, and Stadia.

Tesla will remain public, it won’t hinder Musk’s innovations

0

Tesla is known for its innovative creations and the company is gearing to become the most successful organization in the manufacture of Electronic vehicles. But it turns out that the company’s CEO, Elon Musk is not interested in making the company private.

People around the globe have been asking as to why he is not innovating and moving forward with his new crazy ideas, which made him who he is today; he simply responded that he isn’t interested in going private. “Tesla public company duties are a much bigger factor, but going private is impossible now (sigh). Engineering, design, and general company operations absorb the vast majority of my mind and are the fundamental limitation on doing more.”

Tesla’s performance this year was nothing short of simply amazing. Its shares value surged by eightfold, and its gain is twice the advance of the next best performer on the gauge. The sudden rise in the company’s performance attracted several investments from millionaires and also boosted Musk’s net-worth. As we all know he became the world’s second-richest person crossing Bill Gates.

Going private has its disadvantages for Musk, if you think clearly, by remaining public he can attract more investors and the capital won’t be an issue. For those asking that it is thwarting Musk from innovating, then let me tell you this frankly. When has anything ever stopped a brilliant mind like his from Innovating? I mean, he is planning to colonize the freaking Mars. That’s something pretty innovative if you ask me.

Cristiano Ronaldo is unhappy with the current season

0

The Portuguese captain was awarded the Player of the Century award at the Globe Soccer Awards 2020. He has been phenomenal in this century (2001-2020). Starting under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and then conquering the world with Real Madrid, the current Juventus star has been arguably the best player!

After receiving the award, Ronaldo expressed his unhappiness with how the current season is unfolding. He cherishes when fans in the stadium boo him. But as the fans are not allowed inside the stadium currently, he misses those things.

“For me, I have to be honest, to play in an empty stadium is boring in my opinion,” he said at the awards (as quoted in the DailyMail).

“We, the players, respect all the protocol and health is the most important thing of all, of course, but I don’t like it to be honest.”

“I do it first of all because I love football. My passion is always football. I play for my family, my kids, my friends, the fans. But I don’t like it, to be honest, it’s so weird.”

“I like when people boo Cristiano. When I touch the ball they ‘boo’. I like it.”

“I hope in 2021 they can change the rules and we can see the stadiums full of people.”

A new strain of Coronavirus has recently been found which is much stronger and deadlier. So it is almost unlikely that fans will be allowed inside the stadium in full capacity in the near future.

Windows 10X to come out with an always-standby feature

0

We already know that Microsoft is making a light-weight version of its Windows 10 OS. The new OS will be called Windows 10X and is scheduled to launch next year. Earlier the company was supposed to launch its new OS this year, but for various reasons, the Redmond-based software giant had to postpone its plan.

According to fresh sources, Windows 10X is based completely on Windows 10 core and will be released in Quarter 2 of 2021. Windows 10X from Microsoft will come with a ‘Modern Standby’ feature to offer an instant-on and always-connected experience.

No matter even if you are using an SSD when the laptop is put to sleep mode and then when the lid is open, laptops take some time to wake up from sleep mode. With instant-on, the company aims to offer an experience where the system resumes as soon as the lid is open.

The always-connected feature will enable the apps to work in the background even during sleep mode. This will be helpful for apps like emails, allowing it to fetch email messages in the background. Microsoft has promised to make most of its Store apps compatible with the always-connected feature.

Reports indicate that Microsoft will add a new File Explorer to the Windows 10X. Since we know that the Windows 10X project was supposed to focus on dual-screen and foldable devices but the company is now focusing only on single-screen devices for the time being. But we can expect the software giant to provide the OS for dual-screen devices as well.

Manchester derby in Carabao Cup semi final to be postponed

0

Manchester City’s clash against Everton was called off last night, with a coronavirus outbreak in the squad forcing the Cityzens to self isolate to control the spread of the virus. Gabriel Jesus and Kyle Walker were confirmed to have contracted the virus by the club on Christmas day. 

Here is the official statement released by Manchester City regarding the COVID-19 outbreak in the club: 

“All positive cases involving players and staff will observe a period of self-isolation in accordance with Premier League and UK Government protocol on quarantine.

“The first team training ground at City Football Academy will close for an indeterminate period, with the squad and associated bubble undergoing testing before any decision is made for training to resume.”

Pep Guardiola’s team were supposed to face Chelsea on Sunday, the 3rd of January, and had a Manchester derby against their fierce rivals, United on Wednesday. 

In all likelihood, both fixtures look on the verge of being postponed. The match against their local rivals seems almost sure to be postponed, with the rules governing the fixtures making it clear that byes would not be given following the fourth round. 

City are currently 8th in the table, with two games in hand on the rest of the league. They also possess the best defensive record in the league, which is a sharp comeback from the 5-2 defeat at the Etihad right before they signed Ruben Dias. 

With Guardiola committing his future to the club recently, another Carabao Cup victory seems almost routine for the Cityzens. However, they must give it their all to ensure that complacency doesn’t get the better of themselves.

Office persons are facing the same. So, the demand for a monitor that is friendly to our eyes or in one word, eye-care monitors increases. In the Indian market, companies like Asus and ViewSonic are here for a long time, and as the demand increases, the Taiwanese giant BenQ started contributing with it’s two new eye-care entertainment monitors.

The model numbers of the monitors are EW2780Q, a 27-inch screen monitor, and EW3280U which is a 32-inch monitor.

Apple rumored to be working on a 64-core M1 chipset

0

Apple released its 5nm ARM-based silicon called the M1 chip, and it shook the silicon industries to its core. With the company dominating in the mobile processor performance segment, Apple’s M1 chips have already won hearts with their performance and power optimization features.

A recent leak indicates that the Cupertino giant might be working on the new 64-core part of the M1 chips and it has us pretty excited. However, it’s better not to expect too much, because the same leaker also indicates that we won’t be seeing the product make its way to Mac devices anytime soon.

Earlier reports indicate that Apple is not only working on a 32-core model for M1 but is also developing its graphical solution to cut-off its dependency on AMD. And not only that, but the company is also in the works to develop its cellular modem to get less dependent on Qualcomm. Apple is going full Rambo mode, guys.

check the tweet below:

According to sources, the new 64-core Apple Silicon may be provided alongside the new 32-core Mac Pro. But if the performance of M1 is any indication then a 32-core chip will be more than sufficient and a 64-core will be an over-kill.

The performance of Apple’s silicon has been praised by many in the tech industry, and whether the rumors about Apple developing a 64-core chip is valid or not is still unclear. But one thing is certain, that the upcoming silicon model from the Cupertino based tech giant will be mind-blowing.

Tesla to finally add support for Apple Music in its Electric cars

0

Tesla’s vehicles are getting adopted by more citizens across the globe. Its smart user interface offers various features and comes with support for many application software that the users can use on the go. But, Tesla’s software still lacked the support for the widely popular Apple Music service, which was not a hurdle, but we still like to have a choice. The latest software update from the manufacturer seems to have fixed the issue.

Apple Music is being adopted by the industry as a streaming platform for its cars. The latest update indicates that Tesla is working on bringing Apple’s music streaming platform to its electric vehicles.

For a long time, the streaming competitors of Apple Music were already housed in Tesla’s electric cars, and it seems that Apple Music is finally getting a shot to claim the prize. Since earlier, Spotify has been the main source of listening to music on a Tesla and there is no other music streaming service available for Tesla other than Spotify on its Infotainment system. Not only Apple Music, but Tidal or Amazon Music also isn’t available. But, Tesla announced at its Battery Day presentation that it will be adding support for other music streaming services, particularly Tidal.

According to sources, the latest software update will not only bring support for Apple Music to Tesla’s infotainment system but will also, support Tidal and Amazon Music. Apart from Tesla, Apple music is also featured in the Porsche Taycan model.

As we already know that Apple is in work of building its Autonomous car, and is already in the finishing stages. And if we know Apple, which we do, it will only allow its streaming service to be housed inside its electric car. Apple is known to be cruel in terms of crushing its competitors. It smells like another lawsuit is on its way after the launch of the Apple Car.
