- AMD has announced FSR 4 upscaling support for Radeon RX 6000 and 7000 cards. (Tom's Hardware)
A year after it was released for the 9000 series, and eight months after the source code for a version that worked on RX 6000 and 7000 cards was accidentally leaked.
This is good news for owners of older AMD graphics cards - and also for Xbox and PlayStation owners, which also use custom versions of those older graphics designs. In fact Sony has announced its own release of FSR 4 technology for the PlayStation 4.
It may be the console contracts that held AMD back from announcing FSR 4 for older cards for so long. They could have released a beta driver for PCs, but for consoles it has to just work.
The update will be out for the RX 7000 range in July; RX 6000 owners will need to wait until early next year.

- Cerebras, the company that makes the world's largest CPUs - the chips are literally the size of a dinner plate - has launched its IPO and is now valued at $66 billion. (The Register)
Cerebras has been around for a decade and has been shipping working silicon for years, so this valuation isn't vapour. It's just a lot of money.
- The open source and right-to-repair community has declared war on leading 3D printer maker Bambu Labs. (Tom's Hardware)
At the core of this is Bambu's move to restrict access to its open-source software.
- Subnautica 2 is out and has already sold a million copies. (WCCFTech)
In two hours.
I think it may be a success.
