Nvidia reacts to criticism of DLSS 5 from players and press

by

Nvidia introduced DLSS 5 at GTC 2026 as its biggest graphics advancement since ray tracing. In a matter of hourstechnology became the biggest meme generator of the year and turned the entire gaming community against it. After the criticism, the CEO of Nvidia has come to justify the company’s decisions. Spoiler: the situation has not improved. Almost unanimous rejection. Nvidia presented DLSS 5 at GTC 2026 as an evolution that goes beyond upscaling traditional. The system analyzes the color and motion vectors of each frame and applies an AI model to generate photorealistic lighting and materials anchored to the game’s original 3D data. However, a good part of the community and professionals industry called DLSS 5 “AI slop.” The examples used by Nvidia as a demonstration have been the spearhead of these problems: Grace Ashcroft from ‘Resident Evil Requiem’ with more pronounced cheekbones, fuller lips and uniform skin, or characters from ‘Starfield’ who gain facial resolution but at the cost of aesthetic coherence… A fundamental error that came from assuming that “more photorealistic” is equivalent to “better”, when decades of video game design point in a direction that is, at the very least, complementary. Nvidia’s response. Jensen Huang responded to the controversy during a question session in GTC 2026 itself, in what was the CEO’s first public reaction to the general unrest. His words left no room for ambiguity: “Well, first of all, people are completely wrong.” Their technical argument was that, according to Huang, DLSS 5 combines developer-created geometry and textures with generative AI, leaving control in the hands of art teams. Developers can adjust the model to fit the intended art direction, rather than handing that process over entirely to AI. The manager insisted that It’s not about post-processing at the frame level.but rather generative control at the geometry level, what Nvidia calls “content-controlled generative AI”, adding generative capacity over the game’s existing geometry without altering artistic control. Huang added that studios can also explore stylized or non-photorealistic results depending on the type of game they want to build, and that players who don’t want to activate DLSS 5 they can just ignore it and continue with current scaling techniques. Bethesda supported that position. The study clarified that what was shown was a very preliminary version. Calculation errors. There were those who pointed out that the presentation of DLSS 5 in the middle of a keynote mostly dedicated to the cloud and enterprise AI, before an audience already extremely polarized with AI, turns Huang’s statements into ammunition that will be repeated until Nvidia manages to convincingly explain what DLSS 5 is and why gamers and developers need it. Comparisons have been read to Apple’s “Antennagate” (when the company’s response to criticism was perceived as arrogance): being right and communicating it poorly is like not being right. What’s behind. PC Gamer also points to a deeper debate: if it was previously possible to modify the graphical style of a game through adjustments or mods, hardware-assisted generative AI represents a shortcut controlled by large technology companies that could radically transform how artistic authorship is perceived in video games. It remains to be resolved whether when games arrive that have integrated DLSS 5 from the beginning and with a defined artistic direction they will change that perception. There it will be detected, without a doubt, who in this entire battle was really wrong. In Xataka | NVIDIA is going to spend $4 billion on photonics companies. He is preparing for what is coming

Tesla has revolutionized the industry with a 9,000-ton Giga Press. China has responded with the world’s largest

by

Tesla has revolutionized car production. He has done it with the help of his Giga Press, a huge assembler capable of producing huge parts of the chassis to save time and money. In their race to lower costs, numerous brands have ordered their own. And a Chinese manufacturer has the largest in the world. What is a Giga Press? A Giga Press It is a machine capable of producing huge parts of a car chassis in a single process. Until now, those huge pieces have been (and continue to be for most manufacturers) assembled separately, slowly taking shape like a 10,000-piece puzzle. What is achieved with a Giga Press is to reduce the number of those pieces that have to be assembled. That is to say, simplify the puzzle. This is achieved with a huge press into which the material is injected to produce the part and the mold is pressed with great force to obtain the desired final part. Why is it so important? With the Giga Press, Tesla has managed to save time and money in the production of their vehicles. By simplifying the process, you can produce much more in less time and, therefore, amortize the investment more quickly. In fact, one’s own Tesla trusts in new evolutions to be able to reduce hypotheticals but also there are not a few companies that have ordered theirs with a view to achieving these same results. The largest in the world, of course, is in China. 16,000 tons. This is the figure that the Giga Press that Dongfeng has in its facilities in Wuhan (China) manages to apply, as reported in Car News China. This company has been working since last January with a new machine capable of casting parts with a pressure never before seen in the industry. The machine, they explain in the middle, has been designed, developed and produced entirely in China by LK Machinery which also provides these machines to other companies like XPeng. To give us an idea, Tesla’s Giga Press are capable of assembling parts with 9,000 tons of pressure. In this case, Dongfeng will dedicate the pressing to parts of battery casings of their electric cars. They assure that the machine will improve the rigidity of the assembly and the protection of the energy accumulator. Each piece moves forward every 135 seconds. And it’s not the only one. In parallel, Dongfeng will also have another press, this one capable of applying 10,000 tons of pressure. In this case it has a moving part and a stationary mold. The latter is filled with molten steel at a temperature of 720ºC and the moving part is placed on it. From there, pressure is applied until the new piece is shaped. The objective between both presses is to produce up to 600,000 pieces annually to incorporate into your cars. For now, in the first phase, up to 200,000 pieces will be counted and the objective is to gradually scale production until reaching the desired cruising speed. Both machines are the result of a clear commitment to this type of machines in China in recent years. Already in 2021, InsideEVs It stated that local manufacturers were looking for their own and, above all, that Tesla had managed to locate the supply of its suppliers in China so the materials used in the Shanghai machine did not have to be imported from third countries. It has its problems. Although the mass pressing of parts has revolutionized the industry and many manufacturers have sought their own machines, the truth is that this type of production It also has its negative side. And millions of copies are needed to amortize the set and get economic return on a very important investment. This also requires maintaining a design for a long time because any variation in the part forces the production line to stop for too long until the desired original mold is found. That “slave” design of the brand itself is one of the problems that Tesla has encountered, which is that it cannot launch cars on the market with new variations beyond small aesthetic touches.

If you have installed iOS 26 and you do not like the new transparent design, you just have to press this hidden button on the settings

by

iOS 26 has not only brought an important change in the name, It also comes with the largest redesign of the iPhone for years. The interface Liquid Glass is characterized by being full of transparencies, Something that not to everyone will convince him. Liquid Glass cannot be deactivated, but there are ways for your iPhone to have a design almost like before. Goodbye to transparencies in iOS 26 As the saying says, for tastes: colors. There will be those who are delighted with Liquid Glass, but one thing is true: The readability of some elements is harmed With so much transparency. I no longer talk about Transparent icons do not find appsbut of menus and controls that overlap and do not finish seeing well. If you are in my team, this option is for you. The magic button to get rid of transparencies. The button we are talking about is’Reduce Transparency ‘ And it does just what his name says. To activate it you simply have to go into adjustments – Accessibility – screen and text size and disable it. The result will be that the translucent effect will be reduced, causing the elements to distinguish much better. Let’s look at a couple of examples: The APP photos controls look fatal when we see an image or full screen. The APP photos is a good example that transparency is not always better. Looking at this full -screen image, the buttons look much less clear with activated transparency. In addition, the effect is changing as we move the photo, causing the background to move and dizzy even more. The control center is much more readable. The control center also benefits from this option, but above all Where I have noticed is in the notification panel (in the cover photo). Here we have many small texts and we usually slide to see all notifications, making everything move and cost us more to read. If you want to improve the readability a little more about the option ‘Increase contrast’ It is just below. If you active, the effect is minimized Glow And everything looks flatter. And finally, if you don’t like Liquid Glass, there is plenty of saying that Do not activate transparent icons, Better to leave it in the ‘by omission’ mode. Two extras: Telephone and Safari The redesign also reaches system applications and, again, It is not for everyone. The good news is that they allow us Go back and have the design before. One of them is the safari browser. Safari has a new design, but we can return to the old if we want. By default, when IOS IOS 26 will activate the new compact design that the search bar and two buttons have on the sides. If you go to settings – Safari you can choose whether to keep the re -but without the compact design or on the contrary Return to classic design with the top bar and the buttons below. The telephone app also has a new design. In the case of the telephone app, when opening it asks if we want to try the new design. As in Safari, The interface is more compact And it offers us less tabs at the bottom, in addition to eliminating the “calls/losses” coach from the top. If you do not convince you, you can click on the top button to the right and return to the classic design.

Word accustomed us to press control + s to save files. The automatic save comes willing to impose its own rule

by

One of the most entrenched habits among whom we use Word is to ensure save the document as soon asand not only that: also that it is in an easy to remember location to recover it later. For many that translates into clicking control + s (or control + g) or clicking on the mythical 3½ -inch floppy icon, that the new generations are barely identified. But things are changing in the most famous text processor. Tell the Automatic Guardian Microsoft wants Word to definitely hug automatic saving in the cloud. In practice, this means that the next time we believe a document, It will be generated automatically in OneDrive or in any other service that we have configured as default. Instead of using the first fragment of the text as a name, as is the case now, Word will apply a format of the “Document + Date” type. For example, if we create one today, it will be called “Document 28-08-2025”. Of course, the user can change that name at any time or even discard the document completely. When closing it, Word will show a Emerging window asking if we want to rename it, keep it or eliminate it. The experience is quite similar to that already offered by Google Docs or the own Word online: Documents that are created and automatically stored in Google Drive or OneDrive, without the need to do anything else. And it is no accident. Microsoft’s commitment to functions such as this not only seeks to improve the experience, also tries to maintain the relevance of Word and the Office ecosystem in an increasingly competitive environment. How a statista analysis points out, Google Workspace has managed to consolidate as a powerful alternativeboth for private users and for educational and business environments. Although Word and Office continue to lead the world office of office suites, with more than 45% share, Google products have won a solid position. The change, however, has not been well received throughout the world. On the advertisement page, Some users have left comments of the style: “I do not understand the logic of this function“Or” You have no idea how your customers use Word. “ Although the function will reach all users in the future, for now it is only available for members of the Insider program. And it will not be mandatory. Microsoft will allow you to return to the traditional system. As detailed by the company, the new Word settings will allow you to choose the cloud storage supplier by defaultNot only OneDrive. You can also deactivate automatic save and save documents directly at home. From Redmond they argue that this novelty responds to a matter of security and comfort. Avoid file loss and facilitate access from any device thanks to the cloud. Beyond the concrete changes, what is at stake is somewhat greater. Word has been among us for more than 40 years and has been part of Office’s hard nucleus since its inception. But today competes in a scenario where he is no longer the only reference. There are more options, with different use philosophies, and many of them advance quickly. Images | Microsoft In Xataka | Microsoft has put co -pilot in Excel. And you have also notified that you do not use it if you need the results to be correct

The wolf hunting throughout Spain depended on a red button that changes its status. And Europe has decided to press it

by

The wolf has just seen how his future is complicated in European soil. And not because of pollution, global warming, a new disease that affects herds or the loss of their ecosystem. No. The key is in the EU Official Gazettewhich has just published the directive that degrades the status of protection of the species, passing it from “strictly protected” to only “protected”. Maybe it sounds like a smaller detail or pure community bureaucracy, but In the case of Spain It will allow hunters to reduce animals throughout the country. The reason: a chain of legal changes. What happened? After years of controversypolitical anger and a rifirrafe attempt between environmentalists and hunters, over the last months the wolf has seen how cracks opened in the legal armor that protected him from the hunters. And the reason must be sought in a series of decisions adopted nationally and community. In the case of Spain, one of the key steps to reduce the protection of the wolf In Marchduring the processing of the Law on Food Waste in Congress. Now there has been a new step in that same direction, but at the broader level, with a change that It has just officialized he EU Official Gazette. And what change is that? Basically degrades The status of the Canis lupus. Instead of being considered a “strictly protected species”, as until now, it appears in the list of “protected”. Without more. It may seem like a small adjustment, but in practice it supposes that the wolf will appear without nuances in the list of animals that “can be subject to management measures.” That is, hunt. The European directive was approved a few days ago, June 17but just officialize in the EU Official Gazetteas He has revealed eldiario.es. Again it may seem simple bureaucratic, but it has important repercussions: from now on it opens a period of 20 days For the entry into force of change, so on July 14 the wolf will have lost its “strictly protected” status. Is it a novelty? Yes. And no. The change made in the Habitat Directive to beginning of this month And his recent publication in “The Community Boe” are important news for their impact, but they will actually surprise few. The wolf’s legal armor has been a reason for debate at European level. The controversy can be at least 2022, when the president of the CE, Ursula von der Leyen, lost his favorite pony for the attack of a wolf. That same year Brussels commissioned a “In -depth analysis” on the increase of the species in the continent thanks to its legal armor against the hunters. What was your conclusion? “The concentration of wolves in some European regions has become a real danger to cattle and, potentially, also for humans”, He reflected Von der Leyen in 2023. In the same statement, the CE encouraged local authorities to “take measures when necessary.” What happened since then? That community machinery has continued working on the subject. TO late 2024 The Permanent Committee of the Berna Agreement voted in favor of the EU proposal to reduce the wolf protection status, so that it passed from “strictly protected” to only “protected”, and In March The Commission moved again to propose that this change was transferred to its Habitats directiveadaptation that He received green light This same month. And what happens in Spain? The wolf has not only been the protagonist of community policy. Throughout the last years it has also served to warm the debate in Spain, where environmentalists, hunters or the parliamentary arch itself differs on the degree of protection that the species must enjoy in the Peninsula. Ecologists in action He thinks for example, authorizing his hunt “turns his back on science.” For the RFF it will help the “coexistence” With the farmers. With that backdrop, three months ago Congress adopted a series of fundamental measures for the future of the wolf in our country. The most immediate affected the herds located north of the Duero River. The lower house He endorsed A change in The Royal Decree that develops the Lespre to eliminate the protection of the animals located in that territory and that the autonomies can decide on their hunting. In practice that meant returning them to the situation in which they were before 2021. And what happens to the south of the Duero? It is there where there will be news from now on. In March Congress He opened the door Also to be reduced by the protection of the wolf to the south of the Duero, but as long as its community protection is reduced before, something that has just been formalized. In that way The species comes out of the special protection regime list also south of the Duero River. Interestingly, the Congress of Deputies made the decision while processed a law on food waste management. The reason: the promoters of the amendment that made possible the change in the Statute of the Wolf They argued that the attacks of the wolves to the cattle generate thousands of kilos of lost meat.
