DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution is out, and it's already making headlines across the PC gaming space. Introduced just a couple of weeks ago at CES 2026, it is one of Team Green's greatest leaps forward in their approach to upscaling and frame generation, and naturally, gamers can't wait to give it a go.

X is facing an investigation from the European Commission over the sexualized deepfakes generated by its Grok AI chatbot. In its announcement, the Commission says it will evaluate whether X "properly assessed and mitigated risks" associated with Grok's image-generating capabilities in the EU, as reported earlier by The New York Times.Advocacy groups and lawmakers from around the world have raised the alarm on Grok's AI image editing feature after it began complying with requests to generate sexualized images of women and minors on the platform. X later paywalled the ability to edit images in public replies to posts, but everyone can still …Read the full story at The Verge.

Let's be real. If you're here reading XDA-Developers, you have at least a passing interest in self-hosting. It can be exciting when you first get started with it. But more than that, it gives you a lot of satisfaction knowing that your software is entirely in your control, on your hardware. That also means that if something goes wrong, you have to fix it.

Adobe Photoshop has stood pretty much uncontested in the realm of image editing software for years, if not decades. Sure, alternatives exist, but to claim they're equally easy and powerful to use is just incorrect. That made the launch of the free Affinity app by Canva all the more interesting.

Although Intel used to dominate the CPU scene, it has made some drastic mistakes over the past few years, which have allowed rival brands and even new competitors to step up. AMD has spent decades battling Intel, and in 2026, it seems to be in a better position than it has ever been. We love what the brand's been doing, which makes the CPUs easy to recommend.

"Just buy a gaming PC instead." This has been one of the most solid pieces of advice for anyone looking to get into gaming for quite a while now. After all, PC offers more freedom, more games, more hardware upgrade paths, and far more control. Sure, you've always paid more for the benefits, and yet, there's no polite way to say it anymore: PC gaming has gotten expensive in a way that doesn't feel "premium" anymore, but just unwelcome.

It's no secret that I love E Ink, both for reading and for note-taking. I'd love to use it everywhere, but E Ink monitors are sadly expensive and only designed by a few small companies. I've also discovered that I love self-hosting services on Proxmox, which I didn't expect. The one thing I don't like about self-hosting is the noticeable jump in my electricity bill, but E Ink can help with that.

Most of us can't go a day without interacting with a charger. We need them for pretty much everything now, from laptops, tablets, phones, smart home products, power banks, and more. So, it's safe to say that these types of accessories are important.

When I went hands-on with Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold a few weeks ago, I walked away confused but impressed with its wild design. Two hinges? A sprawling interior screen? Why can't I use it half-folded (I still really don't understand that design decision). Who is this phone even for? At the same time, I also expected the device to cost a lot of money, and right on cue, the TriFold's reported price tag has appeared.

Ever had one of those days where your internet doesn't want to work, and navigating to websites just gives you slow-loading images and that stupid spinning wheel that is supposed to keep you calm while you wait, but of course, you're used to instant connectivity? Yeah? It's the pits, isn't it, but with a few networking tools, you can often diagnose the issue enough to know if it's your problem or your ISP's to sort out.

Well, here's some good news. In a world where DDR5 RAM prices have skyrocketed to previously unbelievable prices, Amazon is holding a flash deal on them. In a vacuum, it's not a bad deal, either; we're looking at a 15% discount, saving you $55 on a Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM kit containing two 16 GB sticks. Nice.

More than a day after TikTok’s issues began, TikTok USDS says the problems are the result of a power outage at a data center and subsequent cascading systems failure. Starting early Sunday morning, TikTok’s now under new ownership US arm started breaking down just a couple of days after Oracle & Co took the reins. Its For You page algorithm is suddenly unreliable, while features like comments are failing to load or loading slowly, and publishing new videos seems nearly impossible for many people.Rumors of censorship targeting anti-ICE protesting or attempting to block discussion of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be misguided (even the governor of California is resharing misinformation now), with problems blocking traffic to all kinds of videos and messages on the service through Monday night.Read on below for the latest updates about the ongoing TikTok problems. TikTok is still struggling in the US due to a “cascading systems failure.” Is New TikTok banning the word “Epstein” in DMs? Not really.
