ATI All-In-Wonder 9800Pro Review

By Ian Bell Published January 27, 2004

Quote from the review at HardOCP:

“No wonder this card is called the All-In-Wonder. There are more features built into this product that basically makes up three different components; 2D/3D, Hardware Multimedia Features and Software Multimedia Features.

At the heart of the hardware multimedia features lies the Rage Theater 200. This tiny chip provides the high level of image quality and performance that the AIW 9800Pro exhibits when it comes to video capture, decoding and encoding video and audio. Under the Video Immersion II moniker ATI has included high quality filters and technology poised to improve image quality and performance. The dynamic adaptive de-interlacing capability of the AIW 9800Pro is at the highest level of quality that has ever been on an All-In-Wonder video card. Temporal Filtering is another feature helps improve image quality by smoothing the image between frames so that no matter what refresh rate your monitor is running at the video will remain smooth. “

The company has added the ability to create, preview, and edit documents, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, and code directly within Gemini conversations. Previously, you could generate and download files, but now you can work on them without leaving the chat.

Reddit will force everyone to log in, and there’s no escape if you want to post or just lurk

The login-only experience will go into the testing phase in the coming months, starting with a few overseas markets.

Reddit is making login mandatory for all users of the platform. In a lengthy post, the Reddit chief explained that the company is moving to a permanently logged-in experience because it wants to offer users more personalization, helping them find content that’s more relevant to their interests and tastes.

The core idea, according to the company, is to nudge users into joining more communities and engaging with content through comments, votes, and more. The company, however, assures that the change won’t affect anonymity, which has long been one of the platform’s core appeals. The sign-up flow isn’t changing either. You won’t be required to submit any information beyond what’s already needed to create a Reddit account.

Your search engine could be hijacked by a Chrome extension that barely does anything

Your next search might take a detour you never approved.

Google Chrome

A browser extension that does nothing except change your search engine sounds harmless, almost boring, right? After reading this research, I’m convinced you shouldn't ignore it.

Security firm Socket says it found over 300 Chrome extensions that quietly swap a user’s default search engine and route every search through servers controlled by the people behind them before it reaches Bing or Yahoo. Even more alarming, these extensions have reportedly racked up roughly 13.4 million installs over the past decade.
