AMD has had a few noteworthy successes in gaming lately. Sony's PlayStation 4 will be using both CPUs and GPUs from the company, and Microsoft's next-generation Xbox is widely expected to do the same. And now, the company has made several announcements at this year's Game Developers Conference that look to maintain that momentum. AMD announced a couple of new desktop graphics cards, but far more interesting is their entry into a market that Nvidia has been pushing for a little over a year now: cloud gaming. AMD has announced three new "Radeon Sky" server graphics cards that are in many ways similar to the Nvidia Grid cards that its competitor announced late last year. Here's all we know about them, based on both AMD's GDC press conference and the Radeon Sky product pages . The cards There are three cards that will be available to start with: the Radeon Sky 900 is a dual-slot card with two GPUs running at 825MHz and 6GB of GDDR5 RAM on a 384-bit interface (each GPU can … [Read more...] about Cloudy with a chance of video games: AMD announces “Radeon Sky” GPUs

Adobe Acrobat peut saboter discrètement votre antivirus
Il semblerait qu'Adobe Acrobat empêche la plupart des logiciels antivirus d'analyser des fichiers PDF au lancement, ce qui met chaque utilisateur en danger. Le problème a été identifié par des chercheurs en cybersécurité de Minerva Labs. Comme l'a rapporté BleepingComputer, Minerva a repéré qu'Adobe Acrobat analysait les fichiers DLL de 30 produits de sécurité, pour vérifier s'ils se chargeaient “lourdement” en mémoire pendant leur consultation. Parmi ces produits figurent les poids lourds du secteur, tels que Bitdefender, Avast, Trend Micro, Symantec, Malwarebytes, ESET, Kaspersky, F-Secure, Sophos et Emsisoft. Si le programme considère que les performances mémoire sont mises à mal, il pourrait ainsi décider de bloquer toute activité de surveillance du fichier PDF ouvert, indique le rapport. Une anomalie connue " Depuis mars 2022, nous avons constaté une augmentation progressive des processus Adobe Acrobat Reader tentant d'interroger les DLL chargés des produits de … [Read more...] about Adobe Acrobat peut saboter discrètement votre antivirus
I bought my mom a Chromebook Pixel and everything is so much better now
This is The Divergence , a weekly column from The Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel, exploring the spaces around modern technology. My mother loves Steve Jobs so much she got a little teary when I gave her a Chromebook Pixel for Christmas. She didn't open the box for almost 10 minutes, because the idea of having a tech product that didn't come from Jobs bothered her so much. It's not Apple that my mother reveres; it's Jobs. She's a physician who cried when she read the Walter Isaacson biography because she was so frustrated that Jobs didn't seek medical treatment sooner. And she has stubbornly hung on to her iPhone 5S even though it's obvious that a larger-screened phone would be better-suited to her needs; she's cranked up the iOS font size so much that the thing looks insane to use. But she hates the design of the iPhone 6 and 6S, particularly the antenna lines on the back. "They made it so ugly," she frequently says to me. "Steve Jobs liked sleek things." I have no idea … [Read more...] about I bought my mom a Chromebook Pixel and everything is so much better now
