Summary TheYellowstoneboutique scene convinced me that Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Monica (Kelsey Asbille) have the best friendship in the entire show.The Dutton family tree inYellowstoneextends far back through the generations, but it does not typically extend outwards. The family is an insular group of people who do not trust outsiders. They’re so insular, in fact, that I sometimes find it difficult to relate to them. While I love the show and the characters, even I, as a viewer, sometimes feel on the outside looking in....

A.I. is getting pretty scarily good at lying to us. No, we’re not talking about wilfully misleading people for nefarious means, but rather creating sounds and images that appear real, but don’t exist in the real world. In the past, we’ve covered artificial intelligence that’s able to create terrifyingly real-looking “deep fakes” in the form offaces,synthetic voicesand even, err,Airbnb listings. Now, researchers from Japan are going one step further by creatingphotorealistic, high-res videos of people— complete with clothing — who have only ever existed in the fevered imagination of a neural network....

FidelityFX Super Resolution is a much-anticipated technology that might shake things up on the upscaling front for both AMD and Nvidia....

When thePlayStation 5first came out, it was a pretty big leap from the PS4, but, the original storage size was around 825GB, although it felt a lot smaller than that in practice. Because the operating system took out a good chunk out of the storage, it brought it down to 667GB. Combine that with modern games often being between 50-100GB, and the reality is that you’re going to quickly run into the limit of what it can store....
