    Home Theater Geeks 442: Roku Forces Frame Interpolation
    Jul 25 2024

    Jul 25 2024

    What could go wrong with Gemini AI being used in live coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics? A new study using Fitbit data shows connections between sleep and diseases. What Samsung Galaxy AI features are worth using? And how AI's use in video game development is impacting the industry.

    CrowdStrike: Terrible name, terrible outageCrowdStrike, a company no one has ever heard of, ships an update that borks Windows PCs, servers, and clouds services at the heart of the worldʼs infrastructure. Naturally, everyone blamed Microsoft at firstMicrosoft says outage impacted under 1 percent of PCs.

It's also deceptive.Microsoft issues repair tool (later updates).CrowdStrike explains what it did wrong. TLDR: everything. WindowsWindows 11 version 23H2 is fully available! Wait, what?Surface Laptop 7 review: big, heavy, no presence sensing or fingerprint reader. Right, I love it.Also, the ThinkPad T14s arrived.Related: Intel cops to mistake in Core Gen 13/14 processors, will issue fix. Why this is unprecedented. And also precedented.

Youʼre never going to believe what happens next. App pick of the week: Microsoft Designer for image generationMicrosoft Designer exited preview last week and thereʼs at least one secret benefit to using it: Unlike Copilot, you can create wide and portrait images (and not just square) without paying.
