PICTURED: New images show the gruesome effect microplastics have on your body
Gruesome pictures have revealed the shocking impact microplastics could be having on your appearance -- and making you look decrepit and older. Microplastics are now in almost everything we touch, from food and clothing to water, kitchenware and household items - and every American is now thought to have microplastics in their bodies. Now, a UK recycling company has tried to capture the impact these toxins could be having on the skin. In a release, they used AI to estimate how long-term exposure to microplastics at low, medium and high levels could impact a man and a woman's appearance.

How Bill Gates, the Altair 8800 and BASIC propelled me into the PC revolution
Have I told you the story about Bill Gates and me in those early days of personal computing? To be clear: Bill Gates is older than I am. In 1975, as Bill was leaving Harvard to start Microsoft, I had just skipped my last year of high school and started college. I was the youngest student in engineering school that first year -- the same year Bill and I were using the same computer technology: the Altair 8800 and the Digital Equipment PDP-10. My high school computing experience -- like Bill's -- was formative.
Microsoft releases its own AI search engine, called Copilot Search
Artificial intelligence has basically taken over and replace traditional web search engines. You've already seen it with AI overviews in Google Search, followed up with OpenAI going the way of SearchGPT. Even alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo are starting to incorporate AI into their platforms, and things aren't slowing down.

NVIDIA confirms the Switch 2 has DLSS
This week's Nintendo Direct provided much more info about the Switch 2 but didn't go too deep into the nitty-gritty details of what powers the console. That left NVIDIA, the Mario maker's hardware partner on the console's processor and GPU, to fill in some blanks with a blog post published on Thursday -- including the first confirmation that it uses Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) tech. NVIDIA said the Switch 2's DLSS support helps to give the console "ten times" the graphical performance of the original Switch. The tech lets games render games in a lower resolution, then uses trained AI models and dedicated Tensor Cores to fill in detail. Saying a system has ten times the graphics performance is likely a simplified marketing claim, and its graphical prowess could vary greatly depending on the title.
