Cyberpunk 2077's latest update brings VRR to consoles and introduces an autodrive mode
There's also an official AutoDrive feature, which is something that has long-existed in the modding community. This is available in all cars and motorcycles and lets players drive from place to place automatically. Just set the destination marker and let the game do the rest. This isn't teleportation. The vehicle still drives, it does just so automatically.
With AutoDrive enabled, players can turn on a "cinematic camera" to make the journey a bit more visually stimulating. There's even a new "wandering" mode for aimless joyrides, for those who just want to experience the splendor of Night City and its environs.
Speaking of driving, the update also brings four additional vehicles to the game, and they all look to be attached to new side jobs. More content is always appreciated.
PC players are getting support for AMD FSR 3.1, Intel XeSS 2.0 and HDR 10 Plus. AMD's FSR 4 is also being added, but it requires a specialized driver that isn't available yet. CDPR says it's coming at a "later date."
The update drops on July 17, which is the same day the Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Editioncomes to Mac computers. It looks like the Mac version will include these new features. Update 2.3 is coming to the Switch 2, but not just yet. Cyberpunk 2077was a launch title for the recently-released console.

I test headphones for a living — here's why the AirPods Max have a permanent home on my desk
I get the pick of the crop when it comes to the best headphones. I have a forever-moving cycle, as new headphones pass over my desk for evaluation. There are some that stick around, be that because I like their sound, their comfort or their noise canceling, but everything generally re-enters the rotation soon enough. But there's one pair that remain separate from the circulation of headphones, with a permanent space reserved for them on my desk. It's the AirPods Max, Apple's ship-of-the-line cans. It's not because of their excellent sound or their stunning build, however. Let me explain. The AirPods Max top Apple's AirPods line, with some useful features and a very unique look. 20 hours of battery life needs improvement, but they make up for it with some excellent sound and top-quality noise canceling. It helps that they're built exceedingly well, too. Against my better judgment, I am a Mac user. I like macOS, I love the look and feel of my MacBook Pro and I've used the platform for so long that ceasing my dependence would feel like chopping off a limb. I don't want to do that. The AirPods line is perfect for Mac users, especially if you also use an iPhone, or if you've completed the trifecta with an iPad. Unlike other devices, you don't have to hop into a menu or hold down a button to connect your headphones or earbuds to your device. You just open them near your phone, laptop or tablet, and you get a prompt for connection. One tap later, and you're connected. But it's better than that — you're not just connected to the device you initiated the connection on, but every single device that your Apple Account is signed in on. Now that's magic. It's been this way for a long, long time; it's nothing new and barely revolutionary at this point. Yet still, no other device has been able to rival the interoperability of AirPods and their macOS, iOS and iPadOS cousins. It's thanks to that incredible interoperability that the AirPods Max have earned a permanent place on my desk. Whenever I'm going to have a work call, a language lesson or some kind of communication that requires my voice or listening, I reach for the aluminum monsters that have taken residence immediately above my keyboard. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's not for their sound, as good as it may be. It's not for their ANC, despite how good they are at blocking noise. It's not even because they look all fancy — no one on my work calls is going to care that my headphones are made by Apple. It's because of how simple they are to use. The other headphones I use would have to go through a complicated connection protocol in order for them to become a good replacement, and despite the proliferation of multi-connect modes, none of them have come close to Apple's version. I recently waved goodbye to my iPhone, replacing it with a Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Apple wasn't going to give me an iPhone Fold any time soon, and I wanted a piece of the creased pie. So one of my devices is now no longer part of the AirPods Max connection "fold." It lives separately from my little audio ecosystem, relying on its own connection as opposed to the symbiotic relationship that my MacBook and iPad are part of. A limb has been replaced, but the nerves remain unconnected. I use my phone for most of my music listening. It means that I don't have to worry about connection issues if I stand up for my half-hourly leg stretch, and modern Bluetooth protocols mean my music still sounds excellent. I'm not critically listening while I work, so I don't need the most impressive sound possible. My new phone shows a significant chink in the AirPods Max's blue, aluminum armor. What happens if I switch out the rest of my devices? What if I swap my laptop for a Windows machine, or my iPad for another tablet? It's not likely right now, but I could have said the same thing about my iPhone a few months ago. For now, the AirPods Max remain permanently on my desk, an almost guaranteed appearance in work calls and my Japanese lessons ("why do your headphones look like that?" my teacher asks — "you'd have to ask Apple," I reply). But that says nothing of the future. My laptop does need replacing soon, and those Razer models look very, very tempting...

5 Red-Hot Growth Stocks to Buy in 2025
Key Points AMD, Broadcom, and TSMC are all benefiting from the AI infrastructure buildout. Pinterest has turned to AI to help make its platform much more attractive to both users and advertisers. Toast is helping restaurants become more successful and is benefiting from its customers' growth. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › Growth stocks continue to drive the market higher, led by companies in the technology sector. With the market heating up, now is still a great time to add some growth names to your portfolio. Let's look at five great options to buy this year. 1. Advanced Micro Devices While a distant second to Nvidia in the graphics processing unit (GPU) space, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) has found a niche in the inference market. For example, last quarter it said one of the largest artificial intelligence (AI) model companies in the world was using its GPUs to run a significant portion of its daily inference. This is important, as the inference market is eventually expected to greatly outgrow the market for training. This is a huge opportunity for AMD given its smaller size. In the first quarter, Nvidia's data center revenue topped $39 billion, while AMD's was just $3.7 billion. Because of this, even small market share gains could result in huge growth. To help with this, the company is part of consortium -- along with Intel, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), and many others -- that has created a new open interconnect standard called UALink to compete with Nvidia's proprietary NVLink standard. If UALink becomes the new standard, it would enable customers to mix and match AI chips from different vendors. That would be a huge victory for AMD. With inference demand poised to overtake training and AMD's clear growth runway, this is a stock that still has plenty of room to run. 2. Broadcom Instead of chasing Nvidia in the GPU market like AMD, Broadcom is focused on custom chips and networking infrastructure. The company's networking portfolio has seen strong growth, as its components are important in helping transfer massive data volumes across huge AI clusters. This led to its AI networking revenue surging 70% in Q1. Its biggest opportunity, though, lies in custom AI chips. Broadcom helped Alphabet design its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), and it is now working with several major hyperscalers (owners of massive data centers) on their own custom chips. Given the upfront costs of designing custom chips, these tend to be for big deployments. Broadcom has said that its three custom chip customers furthest along represent a $60 billion to $90 billion serviceable market opportunity in fiscal 2027 alone. Not to be overlooked is Broadcom's acquisition of VMware. Its Cloud Foundation platform is becoming an essential tool for managing AI workloads across hybrid and multicloud environments. Since the acquisition, Broadcom has moved VMware to a subscription model, creating a nice recurring revenue stream. With AI networking, custom chips, and virtualization, Broadcom is turning into a premier AI company. 3. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) is at the heart of the global semiconductor supply chain. It manufactures the world's most advanced semiconductors for the top chip designers in the world. Its unmatched scale and technological expertise have created a moat in the manufacturing of advanced chips. Rival Intel continues to burn cash trying to build a foundry business, while Samsung's yield issues have given TSMC a massive lead in the advanced-node space. Nodes refer to the size of the transistors used on a chip, measured in nanometers. Smaller nodes, which improve chip performance and power efficiency, are driving TSMC's growth. Chips built on 7nm technology and below account for the vast majority of TSMC's revenue, and Apple has locked up a large chunk of its future 2nm output. Even Intel has tapped TSMC's 3nm technology for some of own high-end chips. Demand for AI chips isn't slowing and autonomous driving has the potential to be the next big semiconductor market. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who wins the battle for AI chips, TSMC is positioned to benefit regardless. 4. Pinterest Pinterest (NYSE: PINS) has been working behind the scenes to transform its online vision board into a more shoppable platform that is becoming increasingly attractive to brands and advertisers. A big part of this push is coming from AI. It built a multimodal AI model that understands both images and text. This allows the company to better personalize content, while also helping power its new visual search tool. With visual search, users can now click on specific part of an image, such as a handbag a woman is holding, and find direct checkout links to retailers for that exact bag or ones that are similar. These efforts have helped turn Pinterest into a more transactional platform. The front end isn't the only area that Pinterest has focused on. It's looking for its new AI-driven advertising solution, Performance+, to help growth moving forward. Performance+ uses AI and automation to make advertising on its platform less labor intensive and more effective. It helps advertisers with everything from creative to ad targeting, bidding, and budget optimization. Pinterest has a massive global user base, which arguably has long been under-monetized. If the company can continue execute on its vision, the stock has a lot of upside ahead. 5. Toast Toast (NYSE: TOST) is more than just a restaurant point-of-sale system, it's becoming the software backbone for the restaurant industry. The company continues to roll out new tools designed to streamline operations and help increase restaurant sales. Recent launches include AI features like ToastIQ and its "sous chef" assistant, which can help restaurants make better decisions and improve the customer experience. Meanwhile, Toast benefits directly from restaurant success. It earns a cut of customer sales via payment processing, so every operational improvement that drives more sales also helps Toast. The company added more than 6,000 new restaurant locations in Q1, and is now serving more than 140,000 sites. Importantly, it's starting to expand beyond local restaurants. It recently landed deals with Applebee's and Topgolf Callaway and is making early progress internationally. It's also gotten a foothold into adjacent markets like hotel restaurants and bars, as well as food retailers. While competition and the economy are worth watching, Toast's momentum and product innovation put it in a great position to be a long-term winner.

2 Top AI Stocks to Buy With $1,000
Key Points Super Micro Computer is an affordable way to bet on the AI infrastructure opportunity. AMD's diversified business model could boost its stability. 10 stocks we like better than Super Micro Computer › There is a lot you can do with $1,000. But if you want to get a step closer to sustainable wealth, consider putting that money to work in the stock market. The burgeoning generative artificial intelligence (AI) industry gives investors an excellent opportunity to bet on a megatrend that may eventually rival the internet in its impact on global productivity. Let's explore why Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) look like solid long-term bets. Super Micro Computer Popular consumer-facing AI apps like OpenAI's ChatGPT rely on a vast supply chain of enabling infrastructure. And while chipmakers like Nvidia or AMD produce the graphics processing units (GPUs) needed to train and run these algorithms, Supermicro supplies the computer servers that make these chips usable for the end client. The company's business is booming as demand for AI hardware continues to accelerate. Third-quarter revenue jumped a respectable 20% year over year to $4.6 billion, helped by demand for Nvidia's new Blackwell GPUs and Supermicro's proprietary liquid cooling solutions designed to help clients prevent their massive data centers from overheating. As a middleman in the AI hardware industry, Supermicro doesn't have the strongest economic moat. Its AI servers face stiff competition from foreign rivals in lower-cost nations like Taiwan (Inventec, for example). However, Supermicro's extensive U.S. manufacturing footprint will allow it to benefit from made-in-America policies and incentives, which include tariffs and tax benefits for domestic production under the recently signed spending bill. With a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of just 16, Supermicro shares are remarkably affordable compared to the S&P 500 index average of 24 and alternative AI hardware company Nvidia, which trades for 38 times forward earnings. Advanced Micro Devices Like Supermicro, AMD operates on the hardware side of the AI industry, competing with its main rival, Nvidia, to produce off-the-shelf hardware solutions for training and running AI algorithms. While AMD is in a distant second place (with an estimated market share of just 14.5% in AI chips compared to Nvidia's 85.2%), its more diversified business model could give it protection against a potential AI industry downturn. In some ways, Nvidia has become the victim of its own success. In the first quarter, its data center segment represented a whopping 89% of total revenue, making the company a one-trick pony. On the other hand, AMD gets just half of its sales from its data center segment. And AMD still enjoys a healthy contribution from different business verticals like its client segment (CPUs for laptops) and gaming hardware. That said, AMD's data center segment will be its long-term growth engine as the company competes with its larger rival by offering better value for money. First-quarter revenue jumped 36% year over year to $7.4 billion, driven by sales of its new EPYC CPU and Instinct GPU chips, designed to handle advanced AI workloads. While net income grew 55% year over year to $1.57 billion, the stock is a little pricey with a forward P/E of 39. Which stock is best for you? Supermicro and AMD are both great picks for AI-focused investors seeking alternatives to Nvidia in the hardware side of the industry. But Supermicro looks like the better pick because of its rock-bottom valuation and potential to benefit from the federal protectionist economic policies. While AMD also looks like a winner, it already trades at a significant premium over the alternatives. Should you buy stock in Super Micro Computer right now?
