We must not forget that DLSS started life as a clever workaround for extracting more performance from games. It renders at a lower resolution, upscales using AI, and claws back more performance without sacrificing too much visual clarity. Over time, it has certainly evolved into something far more ambitious, with frame generation and increasingly convincing reconstruction techniques. But through all of that, the goal never changed, which was to approximate the original image as closely as possible. At GTC 2026, however, Nvidia just unveiled DLSS 5, which breaks that philosophy completely. Inst
I defended DLSS for years, but DLSS 5's AI slop crosses a line that shouldn't exist… Here's the full list, according to the opened GitHub issue: System info: hostname, whoami, uname -a, ip addr, ip route Environment variables: printenv captures all API keys, secrets, tokens SSH keys: ~/.ssh/id rsa, ~/.ssh/id ed25519, ~/.ssh/id ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id dsa, ~/.ssh/authorized keys, ~/.ssh/kn… …
… There's also the additional $89 wireless ModRetro M64 Pro Controller that offers a modern spin on the classic N64 gamepad design. It features a TMR analog stick which is hilarious given how awful the original N64 controller's joystick was by modern standards , Bluetooth, and built-in rumble. …
