Intel’s new driver supports Iris Xe Max laptop GPU, and fixes annoying Cyberpunk 2077 crash

Intel has released a fresh graphics driver which brings in official support for its new discrete Xe GPU for laptops, and provides a useful fix for a Cyberpunk 2077 bug.

The highlight of driver release 27.20.100.9168 is the introduction of support for Intel Iris Xe Max Graphics, otherwise known as DG1, the first Xe standalone GPU (as opposed to integrated graphics built into the CPU).

A number of notebooks already run with Intel’s new GPU, including the Acer Swift 3x and Asus VivoBook Flip TP470.

Support for the game Hitman 3 also arrives with this new driver, although it is recommended that you should be running Iris Xe Graphics (or better) to enjoy this fresh release.

Cyberpunk crash

As you might expect, driver 27.20.100.9168 also fixes a bunch of issues, including a frustrating crash which happens when launching Cyberpunk 2077 – although there are still other ‘intermittent’ crashing issues affecting the game, as listed in the known issues of the release notes [PDF].

There are lots of cures for ‘minor’ graphics glitches in a whole load of games, including Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy, Nioh 2, Star Wars Battlefront 2 and various Tomb Raider games.

A problem with 4K monitors connected to a laptop via DisplayPort, which caused flickering to occur on the screen after closing the notebook and then resuming from sleep, has also been fixed.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

TECNO’s flagship MEGABOOK S1 2023 checks all the right boxes for everyday use MWC 2023 just wrapped up in Barcelona where thousands of tech companies gathered to show off the latest advances in portable devices over the course of four days. Among those participants is TECNO, a tech company striving to merge “tech value” with “aesthetic value”. In 2014 TECNO released their CAMON camera phone series, the success of which led TECNO to further expand its AIoT into smart audio devices as well as smart home and wearable devices. By 2022, however, TECNO was ready to make their move into the laptop space and released the MEGABOOK T1. The MEGABOOK T1 was just the start of a series of laptops planned by TECNO, however, and the natural next step was to reveal the newest flagship device at MWC 2023. The MEGABOOK S1 2023 will pair together an Intel Core i7-1360P with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, offering a considerable step up from the previously released T1.  This announcement is a big step forward...

Apple iPad Air 'creak' stories don't add up , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

Apple iPad Air 'creak' stories don't add up Apple is many things, secretive, sometimes expensive, but it's not sloppy. To build new Apple iPad Air tablets that creak when you hold or press them, that would be sloppy or worse. On Reddit, there are some new iPad Air owners accusing the tech giant of shoddy workmanship. They say the back panel of the iPad Air (2022) is thinner than the fourth-generation iPad Air and that they can " almost feel the battery through the plate when you hold the device." Wait. What? The claim is that the aluminum back is so thin that somehow their digits can feel a battery or component through it? Maybe it's this Reddit member's insufficient powers of description at work. The back would have to be paper-thin to "feel" something through it. One would have to assume that they mean the back isn't as stiff or rigid as it should be. Looks like I’ve got one of the creaky iPad Airs… 👀😬 pic.twitter.com/8iW1SD...
