Many monitors advertise HDR support but lack essential hardware like sufficient brightness (1000 nits recommended) and proper local dimming to deliver true HDR experiences. PCWorld highlights that even high-end models like the Alienware AW3225QF may only achieve 250 nits in full-screen HDR despite 1000-nit peak claims.

Imagine you just bought a brand-new monitor that prominently advertises its HDR capabilities. You hop over to YouTube and stream the first "4K HDR" video you find but it looks washed out or barely any different from the non-HDR display you had before.

Plus: the first zero-day exploit built by AI has been discovered. A few months before he won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2024, Daron Acemoglu published a paper that earned him few fans in Silicon Valley. He argued that AI would give only a small boost to US productivity and would not eliminate the need for human work. Two years later, Acemoglu's measured take has not caught on. The technology has advanced quite a bit since his cautious predictions, but the data is still largely on his side. Here are the three things Acemoglu is paying closest attention to in AI right now .
