This isn't applying a filter, it's ~~applying~~ running the image through a transformer network trained on advanced lighting methods like subsurface scattering to make materials more lifelike. It seems to change artistic intent quite a lot on these existing games, but frankly I'm excited to see what creators do with a game designed from the ground up to utilize AI-enhanced lighting. The DF video also states that this is an early preview (hence the dual 5090s) that is expected to change over time.

Lighting in video games encompasses a lot of things these days. I'm not a graphic designer but, to my untrained eye, it looks like this tech is pushing hard on things like subsurface scattering to make materials appear more realistic. It doesn't appear to be changing the actual polygons. This picture further down seems like a more realistic example of what it would end up looking like when the technology is complete. I think they picked that particular first image as an example BECAUSE it's such a stark change.

not unless you figured out how to adblock on youtube tv. this isn't for desktop clients.

Even with this they fall back on the god forsaken Digital Millenium Copyright Act (at least in the states). Since they encrypt the system, if you have a key from your own system then it's assumed that you acquired it by violating the DMCA.

Seriously. They will get to it eventually, they probably just got distracted with suing the Tump administration for their tariff refunds.

The Switch is ARM (nvidia tegra x1) while the Deck is x86 (amd zen2?). There's translation involved. Not saying that will guarantee a slowdown, but as @FireWire400 said, if the emulator is shit power won't help much. My oc'ed ryzen 5600x could barely run switch BOTW at 15fps when it first released (though that was arguably still better than the experience I had on my Wii U... shudder)

edit: hint - try 'firmware' instead of BIOS in a search

Going back to GGG! I actually would call this good news!

They purchased all of Ookla from Ziff Davis, which includes Ekahau and RootMetrics. They’re in this for the commercial side of it. Speedtest and Downdetector seem to be mostly "public relations" sites from what I can tell. Like to get the Ookla name out there and have a positive public image.

It seems like they're mostly interested in Ookla's commercial mobile network services, Ekahau and RootMetrics.

They bought all of Ookla from Ziff Davis, which includes rootmetrics and ekahau (various mobile network analytics/performance optimization stuff). Downdetector and Speedtest are just the two Ookla products that most people know so they get the headlines.
