Apple has rolled out its latest iPad Pro and apart from the new M4 chip, which is pretty interesting in its own right, the highlight is undoubtedly its new dual-layer OLED display, known in Apple parlance as Tandem OLED. Capable of 1,000 nits sustained full-screen brightness and 1,600 nits peak HDR, it blows away any OLED PC monitor for sheer brightness. Even the best current OLED large-format desktop panels top out at about 250 nits full screen.
So, the immediate question is whether Apple’s dual-layer OLED tech could make the transition to desktop or even laptop PCs. But that seems unlikely. The main reasons are cost and complexity.
For starters, the Tandem OLED panel uses two OLED panels stacked atop one another. Current PC OLED monitors are expensive enough with just one. The cost of two panels in one monitor doesn’t bear thinking about. And that’s before you consider the complexity of manufacturing such a display. The two panels will need to be very closely aligned t…
There’s a brand new clue for today’s Wordle waiting just below, ready to offer you a gentle nudge towards the answer without completely giving the game away. Or, if you’d actually quite like to have someone completely give the game away, just click or scroll your way down to the December 13 (907) puzzle’s winning word and enjoy your latest victory.
If Wordle gave out medals for having the most right letters and then drawing the worst possible conclusion from them, I’d have won gold today. I can’t even pretend I didn’t have any useful greens to anchor the yellows I wildly flung around either, because I definitely did—and for a few guesses too. Still, at least I won. Eventually.
Today’s Wordle hint
Wordle today: A hint for Wednesday, December 13
If someone or something is completely exhausted, all used up, or has nothing left to give, they could be described using today’s answer. Think of a burnt match, or a marathon runner with no energy…
Diablo 4 has a big, small problem: inventory space. There’s just not enough of it.
Among all the other cool things coming next year in Vessel of Hatred, Diablo 4’s first expansion, are a number of fixes designed to help players with the endless bag-space management task that is, perhaps, inevitable in Blizzard’s loot-explosion action RPG.
However, it turns out implementing a key player-requested feature—a loot filter—is harder than it might sound. Developers are working on it, Blizzard told us at a BlizzCon interview, but it may not appear soon.
“We don’t have a date to announce on the filter, and the reason for that is—let me back up just a little bit here,” Diablo 4 game director Joe Shely said. “When you think about the changes we made to experience in Season Two, when we talk about that, we say 40% faster leveling, which is correct. We have data that shows people are leveling faster and so forth. But we didn’t just go in and change the number …
Epic Games recently acquired ArtStation, which among other things is one of the biggest websites that artists use for sharing their portfolios. That means it’s also a target for AI companies looking for lots of categorized visual art to use as free training material for their machine learning algorithms. Although Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney hasn’t taken any kind of hard stance against generative AI systems in general, he says he doesn’t like that companies are ingesting people’s artwork without permission.
“They’re scraping the web to find people’s artwork and then using it, and not getting their explicit say-so on the thing,” Sweeney told PC Gamer in a call earlier this week. “And a company shouldn’t do that sort of thing, right? Maybe that’s in bounds for research, but when you’re selling a commercial product that’s used to generate commercial artwork, you shouldn’t do that.”
Last year, Epic created a “noAI” tag artists can apply to their ArtStation works to explicitly …

India’s markets regulator will tell the country’s top court why it paused, then restarted investigations into the Adani Group after a tip in 2014 amid questions around regulatory delays, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will say for the first time that India’s customs authority alerted it to an alleged misuse of offshore funds by Adani Group companies in 2014 but that the initial investigation did not yield anything and was paused in 2017, the sources said.
SEBI restarted investigations into the group this year after U.S.-based short-seller Hindenburg Research raised governance concerns – allegations Adani Group has denied. Both sources declined to be named because they are not authorised to speak to the media. SEBI did not respond to an email seeking comment. UK Sinha, who was chairperson of SEBI during the investigations, declined Reuters requests for comment.
