I've had my RTX 4070 Ti ever since its launch in 2023, and I'd been happily gaming at 1440p for the most part. Then, improvements in frame generation and DLSS upscaling convinced me it could handle 4K, even if I had to lower several graphics settings. By and large, though, my GPU made 4K 60FPS gaming possible for me.

Musk, who serves as CEO of both companies, said the special committees were formed at the request of shareholders and consist of independent directors (though he did not name them). He also noted that he is not a member of either committee, nor involved in any of the discussions. "Because I'm a conflicted party, I can't actually be in the discussions of the special committees," Musk said.

Oura is introducing two new cardiovascular-focused health tracking features to its smart rings designed to help users better understand the effect regular workouts and exercise are having on their long-term health, and whether they need to ramp it up or dial things down.
