NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: Turing vs Pascal Flagshipedit
It makes you realize why NVIDIA has been marketing its RTX features as a key feature of the Turing lineup. While the RTX Supers are a worthy upgrade compared to the GTX 10 series cards, the vanilla 20 series was a more toothless lineup. There are rumours of a Super version of the RTX 2080 Ti but I believe it’s unlikely. NVIDIA doesn’t face any competition in the top-end GPU space. AMD is presently working on midrange variants of Navi, so while we can expect the RX 5500 XT and the 5600 XT soon enough, there’s still no word on Big Navi.

A new macOS update was supposed to fix problems, instead it has been causing more. Mac users have been reporting a host of problems including bricked MacBooks after installing the update. And the timing could not be worse. With almost the entire world working from home due to the Covid-19 pandemic, bricked up MacBooks are no less than nightmares. “The 8 April 2020 Supplemental Update for Catalina 10.15.4 brought the system down for a few hours,” said MacBook user on Apple’s discussion forums.

Apple reveals more details of COVID-19 contact Tracing Systemedit
A couple of days ago, Apple announced that it was partnering with Google to start a contact tracing system for COVID-19. However, in a report posted by The Verge, Apple has talked a bit more about about the system and how it will work as well as its limitations. Before we get to that, here’s a quick recap. Apple and Google plan to implement COVID-19 contact tracing in two steps. The first step would be to release APIs that would enable interoperability between Android and iOS when using apps from public health authorities. The second step would launch later and would enable broader use of a Bluetooth-based contact tracing platform.
