Google is putting even more AI into Gmail, and some of it is on by default
The takeaway: Here's a piece of news that not everyone will welcome: Google thinks there simply isn't enough generative AI in Gmail, so it's adding even more Gemini features. Some are free, others are subscription-only, and a few will be enabled by default – meaning you'll have to opt out if you don't want them.

Winners & losers: The absence of new GeForce RTX graphics cards at CES is an unusual break from tradition, fueling speculation that memory shortages driven by AI demand are disrupting Nvidia's usual launch cadence (well, that and an obvious shift in priorities). As the company rolls out its next architecture, a prominent leaker says consumers could be facing one of the longest generation gaps in the history of GeForce.

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 improved visuals come at a 20%+ performance cost on RTX 30 and RTX 20 GPUs
Even RTX 4000 and RTX 5000 cards lose performance versus DLSS 4
The takeaway: One of the many announcements Nvidia made at CES this week was the arrival of DLSS 4.5. The latest version of the upscaling tech can be enabled ahead of its official launch, which many users have done. The good news is that you can expect a higher level of graphical fidelity, as Nvidia promised. The less welcome part is that it comes with a performance hit compared to its predecessor, one that rises to over 20% when using a previous-gen RTX 3000 or RTX 2000 GPU.
