Preserving the cross-border availability of secure technologies and digital services – coupled with forward-looking decisions by governments to invest in digital infrastructure and digital skilling – can protect access to information everywhere and ensure that the benefits resulting from the global internet are preserved.

Progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was a key topic during this week’s UNGA. The 17 UN SDGs were created “to make a better world for everyone, now and into the future.”

They include goals like achieving gender equality, ensuring quality education and tackling economic inequality. At Google, we see countless ways in which technology can help accelerate progress on these goals.

While the global community has made some important progress in meeting the SDGs since they were launched in 2015, headwinds persist due to Covid-19 and global conflict and, unfortunately, not a single country is on track to meet all 17 goals by 2030.

To that end, Google\'s philanthropic arm, Google.org recently announced that we are expanding these efforts through a $25 million commitment to support NGOs and social enterprises using artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate progress in achieving the SDGs.

On top of those proprietary systems, Nvidia\'s newest GPUs will apparently lean on a new process that Huang calls \"shader execution reordering.\" While this will improve performance for raw rasterization, Huang\'s brief description of the system hinges largely on ray tracing\'s computationally expensive workloads. The system will drive \"2-3 times\" the ray-tracing performance of the company\'s previous Ampere generation of GPUs.

As part of today\'s announcements, Nvidia presented a few titles with upcoming Nvidia RTX-specific optimizations, and the biggest is arguably Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. 

When combined with DLSS 3\'s image reconstruction system, MSFS was demonstrated with frame rates easily reaching the 100s in some of the game\'s busiest scenes (though raw rasterization of the same scenes on an unnamed Lovelace GPU and PC showed solid performance as well, considering how power-hungry that game and its massive cityscapes can be).

The above gallery is captured in 4K, so you may want to click and zoom in to see how DLSS 3 handles fine pixel details compared to an apparent combination of raw pixels and standard temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) in older systems.

As predicted, Microsoft is formally releasing Windows 11 version 22H2 to the general public today. Also called the \"Windows 11 2022 Update,\" version 22H2 is a major update that brings a plethora of fixes and refinements to the operating system, improving the Start menu, jettisoning some more Windows 8-era user interface designs, adding new touchscreen and window management features, and more. We covered many of the new features earlier this year, when the update was still undergoing beta testing.

Users of Windows 11 21H2 may be able to see the 2022 Update in Windows Update starting today, but Microsoft is planning its typical phased rollout to monitor for major problems. The update will eventually be offered to all Windows 11 users, but if you don\'t see it, you can use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or download a fresh copy of the Windows 11 install media to trigger the installation manually.

","password":"MIf you\'re a Google Chrome user, you might be surprised to learn that you may soon be automatically entered into Google\'s new tracking and ad targeting methods called Topics and FLEDGE. 

Topics uses your Chrome browsing history to automatically collect information about your interests to share with other businesses, tracking companies and websites without your knowledge. 

FLEDGE enables your Chrome browser to target you with ads based on your browsing history. These new methods enable creepy advertising and other content targeting without third-party cookies. While Google is positioning this as more privacy respecting, the simple fact is tracking, targeting, and profiling, still is tracking, targeting, and profiling, no matter what you want to call it.

1. Don\'t use Google Chrome! Google Topics and FLEDGE will only exsist in Google Chrome. On iOS or Android we suggest you use our DuckDuckGo mobile browser, which offers best-in-class privacy protection by default when searching and browsing. 

Plus, we recently launched more app features into beta that will better protect your online privacy, like Email Protection and App Tracking Protection for Android. On desktop, we just launched the DuckDuckGo app for Mac into beta (Windows coming soon) so you can skip the Chrome headache completely and use ours by joining our waitlist (which is moving quickly).

Functional eligibility criteria: An app’s functional ability should be the only eligibility criteria for being a participant in a choice screen process. For instance, many search engine apps are also full web-browsers and operating a search engine should not preclude them from being shown on browser choice screens.

User-expected choices: The list of options on choice screens should reflect the diversity of the market and be determined objectively by the best-available and commonly agreed market share data. The most popular choices should be displayed randomly up top, which will ensure all main user-expected choices are initially visible, then followed by less popular choices arranged randomly.

Transparent dashboards for participants: Data on the effectiveness of choice screens should be made available on a daily basis to participants via a self-serve dashboard where companies can see how many impressions and selections occurred, and more.

Gatekeeping firms should globally roll out fair choice screens and effective switching mechanisms now, using these principles. We are ready to work collaboratively towards this end, honoring the users‘ desire to choose the services they want to use, and not having those choices decided for them by default.

So the A16 isn\'t a huge performance leap forward, apart from the memory bandwidth part. But this chip\'s updates weren\'t really focused on speed. Rather, they\'re about facilitating new features. Most importantly, the chip has a new ISP, which enables some of the new camera features and additional fidelity. It also has a new display engine. The display engine tweaks make the two flashiest new features possible: the always-on display and the functionality of the notch-replacing Dynamic Island.

Like the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 14 Pro has 6GB of RAM.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 sticks with last year\'s A15, which is still faster than any other phone SoC on the market at most tasks. It gets a bump from 4GB of RAM to 6GB.

The screen sizes and display resolutions for all three phones are the same as last year: 6.1 inches and 2,556×1,179 pixels for the iPhone 14 Pro, 6.7 inches and 2,796×1,290 for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and 6.1 inches and 2,532×1,170 for the iPhone 14. In terms of pixel density, all three clock in at 460 ppi. And all three use OLED tech, which is expected for just about any high-end flagship smartphone these days, and for good reason.
