You may have heard that NVIDIA’s new DLSS 3 technology for its RTX 40-series GPUs is no different from the dreaded “soap opera” effect on TVs, but the truth is it’s a qualitatively different version of the same idea. How NVIDIA DLSS 3 Works DLSS 3 (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a feature exclusive to NVIDIA’s 40-series graphics cards and (presumably) later models. It’s a technology designed to boost game frame rates while still producing a high-resolution image....

No matter what you’re giving a presentation about, sometimes it can be useful to show your audience information from the internet. You could always create a screenshot of the webpage you’re demonstrating, but chances are the screenshot may be out of date by the time you give your presentation. A better solution is to use live information from the web in your presentation. By default, PowerPoint doesn’t support inserting a live web page, but you can easily do this with the LiveWeb add-in....

There are many different ways you could work on multiple documents at once, and Windows 7 Aero Snap makes it easy to work on documents side by side. But, sometimes it can be nicer to have a full-screened editing window, but still be able to switch between your documents without going all the way to the taskbar to switch windows. Doc Tabs is a great free addon that lets you use a familiar tabbed document interface in Word so you can switch between open documents just like you do on Firefox, Chrome, and other web browsers....

Install Phatch Phatch is available in the package manager of most Linux distributions. If it is not available you can download installation files from the Phatch website or source code from launchpad. In Windows and OS X things are a bit different and you will need to install all dependencies and launch the phatch.py script manually. Links and download zip with all dependencies for Windows can be found below....

This is a task we want to do from a Domain Controller, and you should have the Administrative Tools in your Start menu next to the Control Panel link. We’ll choose the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. Once we’re inside the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, we’ll need to expand the domain in which we want to create the user, and right-click on the Users folder. We’ll then select New|User....

If you organize a spreadsheet by columns, you may only want to work with specific columns at one time. In Microsoft Excel, you can group columns and expand and collapse them as you work. We’ll show you how to do just that. Not only can you group columns in Excel, but you can also create subgroups or more than one group in the same sheet. This allows you to see only those columns you need while hiding or collapsing the others....

We’ve all done it—we excitedly push a commit to solve an issue, leave a useful comment like “doh!”, and then forget to reference the Github issue number. Now they won’t be linked together… or will they? Luckily you can easily reference a commit in a Github issue by simply pasting in the hash which will automatically turn into a link. Most of you already know how to do that, but for everybody else, we’ll detail the couple of steps....

I needed to setup a cron job to perform some maintenance which I wanted to automatically run on Sunday night since that’s usually a low traffic period. After looking up the right syntax in the manual for the eleventy-hundredth time, I realized I hadn’t written anything in a while, and I should probably jot this one down for later. The normal syntax for a cron job item is usually right there in the editor window in a nearly unreadable dark blue font, but after using vim’s set background=dark option, turns into a nice light blue....

Of course, there actually is a way to scroll the command prompt with the keyboard, but it’s really complicated and requires too many keystrokes to be useful. This is a better way. What we’ll do to solve the problem is create an AutoHotkey script that makes it so whenever you press Shift+Page Up/Down, or Ctrl + Up/Down, it will send a mouse wheel scroll command to the window, scrolling it up or down....

Typography is so overwhelmingly ever-present we hardly notice it there anymore. As elemental as it is to our culture, it’s actually bizarre to think it has a history at all. This article will serve as a condensed education on the basics of typography, including typographic terms, proper usage of fonts, unusual characters, and history. We’ve become so accustomed to communicating with type that most of us do not notice what it is doing, let alone any of the agonizing design decisions that were a part of their creation....

While Microsoft Excel offers a built-in tool for sorting your data, you may prefer the flexibility of a function and formula. We’ll show you how to use the Excel SORT function with helpful examples. The benefit of using the SORT function is that you can sort the data in a different spot. If you want to manipulate the items without disturbing the original data set, you’ll like the sorting function in Excel....

If you are in Library mode, you’ll need to click the icon at the lower right to switch to Now Playing mode.

The Intel Arc A750 is a slightly weaker sibling to the A770, belonging to the same “Arc 7” GPU range and all. The A750 has four fewer Xe-cores, at 28 rather than 32, and sees a reduction in XMX engine count, going down from 512 to 448 (each Xe core has 16 XMX engines). It also sees both a slight reduction in memory bandwidth, but it still comes with 8GB of GDDR6 memory — no 16GB option, though....

Before Here is the normal “Status Bar” address display for the weblink we were hovering the mouse over in our browser. That is nice but if you really prefer to keep the “Status Bar” hidden what do you do? Move that display to a better (and definitely more convenient) location. After Once you have the extension installed that is all there is to it…you are ready to go. Notice the address display in “Address Bar”....

Windows Live Hotmail was one of the first free webmail services back when it was called HoTMaiL as a play on HTML. In recent years, Microsoft has rebranded their online services under the Windows Live brand, so now Hotmail is commonly used with @hotmail.com or the newer @live.com email addresses. You can even use Hotmail and other Live services with your own domain. Despite it’s previous popularity, Hotmail has lost many users, especially techies, to Google’s popular Gmail service....

To make your 2010 notebooks compatible with OneNote 2007, you need to convert them inside OneNote 2010. In OneNote 2010, open the File menu; this should open to the Info tab by default....

What Was StumbleUpon? StumbleUpon was created in 2001 by Garrett Camp, Geoff Smith, Justin LaFrance, and Eric Boyd. The idea came from the fact that typical search engines only work if you know what you’re looking for. Music discovery had Pandora, but there wasn’t anything similar for the internet. The solution they came up with was StumbleUpon. On the surface, it seemed pretty simple—just a toolbar with a “Stumble” button and thumbs-up and down options....
