Nvidia's app now has a light mode if you want to be flash banged

The Verge2 days ago

Nvidia has added support for a new theme in its main Windows app, allowing you to toggle between the dark mode default and a lighter option. The light mode addition is part of a number of updates to the Nvidia app this month, including optimal settings for 12 new games, bug fixes to the DLSS override feature, and Windows Narrator support.
Nvidia has added optimal settings for Oblivion Remastered, Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, Elden Ring Nightreign, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and more. Nvidia has also addressed an issue where DLSS Frame Generation would default to 2x regardless of in-game settings if the DLSS override model option was set to latest and Frame Gen was set to 'use the 3D application setting.'

A bug with HDR video color recording with HEVC and AV1 has also been fixed. Nvidia has also fixed a bug that prevented RTX 5070 from using the in-game overlay.
Nvidia has also added support for Microsoft's built-in Windows Narrator, which enables on-screen content in the Nvidia app to be read aloud for better accessibility support.

Bill Gates hints at how Africa is becoming the 'most interesting continent' this century

Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates recently pointed out Africa's young demographic as a special resource that has the potential to improve the continent's future. Bill Gates emphasizes Africa's youthful population as a vital resource for future development. Investment in health and education is deemed crucial for harnessing the continent's potential. Key figures, including Aliko Dangote, discussed enhanced self-reliance in industries like cement and fertilizers. When asked what he would do differently in the next 20 years concerning his efforts in Africa, given that over the last 25 years, the American billionaire was stated to have helped Africa achieve some 'great things', Bill Gates alluded to Africa's young population. 'The amazing thing about Africa, and I show people this slide all the time, is that it is a very young continent. The portion of children born in Africa is going to be over half during this century. The city (Lagos) we are in today will, by far, become the largest city in the world. That'll be interesting and keep things vibrant,' he said at the Gate Foundation's Goalkeepers event in Lagos. 'Africa has this incredible offset of its youth, and that will make it the most interesting continent throughout this century. How much that youth can drive progress will depend on the investment decisions we make in the next 20 years, in their health and their education. If we prioritise that, there's an unbelievable future here,' he added. When asked what could speed up Africa's health care development, the Gates Foundation CEO stated, 'If you take the combination of Africa getting richer, more philanthropists emerging, rich countries restoring generosity, and the sharing of best practices and innovation. We have some incredible tools coming along, even for things like sickle cell disease, which we need to get rid of. It's a dramatic burden.' As reported by Channels, Bill Gates also lauded Nigeria's progress towards mitigating high mortality rates, expressing hope that the current five million child deaths worldwide might be cut in half. 'These next 20 years, the countries in Africa will reach a stage of real economic momentum. Helping them accelerate that, understanding unique challenges, simplifying delivery, and lowering costs, will make a world of difference. The last 25 years went way better than I expected, childhood death rates, for example. We have a lot to be proud of, but even more to work on,' he added. Aliko Dangote's addition to what Bill Gates said To buttress this point, Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, who was invited to speak, noted that 'In health through our partnership with Bill, we've actually ended polio, and also we've done quite a lot in nutrition, but that in partnership,' he stated, responding to how Africa can utilize home made solutions and scale such ideas. 'But in terms of business, we have done quite a lot by reversing a lot of things. Nigeria used to be the second-largest importer of cement in the world, and now we've reversed it. Nigeria now exports cement more than any other African country. 'We've looked at also challenges in terms of fertilizers, where our farmers were suffering, no fertilizers… we built from the zero level to the second largest plant of fertilizers in the world.

Taiwan's Wistron to raise up to $923 million in share sale

By Scott Murdoch SYDNEY (Reuters) -Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Wistron Corp is looking to raise up to $923 million by selling global depository shares that will be listed in Luxembourg, according to a term sheet reviewed by Reuters on Thursday. The company, which is a supplier to Nvidia, is selling up to 250 million depository shares in a price range of $36.20 to $36.93, the term sheet said. That is a discount of 4% to 6% to a closing stock price of NT$115 ($3.85) on Thursday. Wistron did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. The company plans to use the money raised in the share sale to buy raw materials in foreign currencies, the term sheet showed. The shares are due to start trading on June 16. Wistron said last month its new U.S. manufacturing facilities for customer Nvidia would be ready next year and that it was in talks with other potential customers. The facilities will produce high-performance computing and AI-related products. ($1 = 29.9060 Taiwan dollars)

3 Things Nvidia Management Just Said That Build the Buy Case for These 3 Magnificent Hidden AI Stocks

The use of AI and robotics is poised to revolutionize healthcare, and this stock is at the forefront of this transformation. AI will significantly enhance the value added by this software company's solutions. This Nvidia partner and data center equipment provider is developing solutions in tune with Nvidia. 10 stocks we like better than GE HealthCare Technologies › Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) recent earnings report boosted the market and alleviated concerns about any slowdown in artificial intelligence (AI) and data-center-related spending. That's great news for Nvidia and other frontline players in the AI/data center industry. It's also great news for some of the more esoteric, yet no less investable, stocks with exposure to the theme, such as GE HealthCare Technologies (NASDAQ: GEHC), industrial software company PTC (NASDAQ: PTC), and data center equipment company Vertiv (NYSE: VRT). Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang noted his company's collaboration with GE HealthCare on AI-powered robotics during Nvidia's recent fiscal first-quarter 2026 earnings call. The healthcare company is utilizing Nvidia's AI-powered robotics platform, Isaac, to enhance the value of its imaging systems, and Huang referenced it as an example of the "era of robotics." He has a point, and the value-add from embedding AI-powered applications into GE HealthCare's leading imaging systems (including ultrasound, MRI scanners, and X-ray equipment) is that they can guide patients better and optimally gather and analyze data from images in an automated manner. Moreover, AI tools help support decision-making and patient monitoring. These are all major pluses for a company that manufactures imaging equipment, as well as the pharmaceutical diagnostics used in conjunction with it to diagnose and guide the application of targeted treatments. Additionally, GE HealthCare provides solutions that enable the monitoring of patients. As such, AI adds value across all of GE HealthCare's businesses, and that's likely to translate into better patient outcomes and boost long-term sales growth for the company. Huang also highlighted an AI area that often receives insufficient recognition, namely industrial AI. The underlying trend behind investment in AI and digital technology is already strong, and it is only going to intensify if President Donald Trump achieves his goal of onshoring manufacturing back to the U.S. and away from low-labor-cost countries. Automation, robotics, and AI-powered industrial software are the answer to the question of how to reshore production cost-effectively. Huang noted: Every factory will have an AI factory associated with it. And in order to create these physical AI systems, you really have to train a vast amount of data. So back to more data, more training, more AIs to be created, more computers. That's where Nvidia's partner PTC comes in. Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) help designers to utilize PTC's computer-aided design (CAD) software, and create real-time digital models that interact with the physical world to improve the performance of machinery in the latter, not least through the use of advanced real-time AI-powered analytics in its product lifecycle management (PLM) software. PTC has grown recurring revenue at a double-digit rate in recent years, and it's set to drive mid-teens growth in free cash flow (FCF). If Huang's belief in the power of industrial AI is justified, then that rate of growth could persist for a long time into the future. Let's move on from two companies that are adding value by using AI, to one that's adding value by contributing to the growth of AI, specifically the power needed to support growth in AI at data centers. Vertiv continues to generate strong orders and backlog growth in 2025, but the key question with growth stocks is always what happens beyond the near to medium term, and will t justify the stock's valuation? One answer comes from a recent Nvidia blog post outlining the company's leadership in transitioning to 800 volt high voltage direct current (800V HVDC) data centers "starting in 2027." The conversion of high-voltage power from the grid to 800V HVDC in the data center (rather than using lower-voltage power) improves conversion efficiency, reduces copper requirements, and improves reliability, according to Nvidia. That's where Vertiv comes in, because it recently confirmed that its 800 volt direct current (VDC) power architecture for data centers is scheduled for launch in the second half of 2026, ahead of Nvidia's next generation of platforms intended for 800V HVDC, or 800 VDC. Vertiv's solutions include rectifiers to convert grid power to 800 VDC, busways to distribute the power, converters to lower the voltage to a manageable level, and backup systems to support the data center. Vertiv faces competition, not least from powerful companies like Eaton and Schneider. Still, the growth opportunity remains significant for all market players, and Vertiv is a specialist in power solutions for communications and data centers.
