Nvidia App adds 'Auto Shader Compilation' for faster load times in games — beta feature automatically recompiles shaders in the background after every driver update

The Nvidia App can now automatically recompile shaders for you in the background after every GPU driver update. This should save gamers several minutes across different titles, especially blockbuster ones, where shader compilation can often delay your session. You still need to compile shaders for the first time after a new install, however.

Psychology says the reason aging people feel like they don’t matter isn’t about what they’ve lost — it’s that society defines mattering as productivity and visibility, and the moment you step outside those narrow roles, your value becomes invisible even to people who love you

The moment you retire or reach "that certain age," even your own family starts looking through you instead of at you — not because they've stopped loving you, but because our culture has trained them to equate your worth with your job title and social media presence. Read more ›

I tested a living room full of cheap Ikea speakers against Sonos and Bose

They're […] Read more ›
