    Eh, guess I'll sign up.  Not sure if my CPU only-ness will be able to churn out the points to qualify me though.

    DLSS has been around for a while now, and while Nvidia has improved it continuously, games almost never update the version they use. But now there’s a very simple way to do it for yourself…

    That definitely looks like a weird browser bug - especially on the light theme version, it's definitely not hidden behind anything, it's just clipped wrong.

    I'm obviously not in charge of code changes on this forum, but as a web developer, I have a good idea of what the likely response will be: beta/development browsers and operating systems are not supported.
     
    Issues like this are the breaks of being on the bleeding edge. Unless this can be recreated in an official release version of Safari and/or iOS, you're out of luck.

    Not sure if this has been posted already, couldn't find anything about it using the search function, but please lock/delete if it already exists in a general thread or something 🙂
     
    Summary
    Windows 11's stellar start hasn't gone unnoticed. In its latest addition, it has been found that Microsoft will now also force laptops to have a front-facing webcam present from 2023 and on in order to run Windows 11. Not just any camera will suffice though, they also list their requirements in the online support document.

    My thoughts
    Some of the hardware requirements I can sympathise with. Requiring TMP 2.0 and 8th gen Intel / 2nd gen Zen or above alas. It's inconvenient, but not the end of the world. You have to draw a line at some point to move forward (and I've seen compelling philosophies as to why on this forum). I'll happily keep running Windows 10 for the coming years by which time my rig will be due for an upgrade anyway.
     
    A webcam seems like a strange requirement to me though. I guess they'll use it for Windows Hello face login or they're planning to really go all-in on the work from home/meetings everywhere aspect1. Now yes pretty much every carryable device you can think of has a camera nowadays, but why would an operating system of all things need to depend on a camera. There are probably information sensitive jobs that don't allow cameras to be present as well, and while I could foresee a special business model or license, that would be just a sad money grab. I generally like Windows, and probably mostly the techy minority cares about this, but man on some aspects Microsoft is really testing how far they can go huh.
     
    I can't find any requirement regarding the IR stuff Windows Hello requires, which makes it the most strange in my opinion.
     
    [update] as people have been pointing out below, this may just be to ensure a certain standard of webcam quality with Windows 11. I still don't see why you need to force the webcam itself to be present though. Are they that afraid that manufacturers will not include one or not switch to Windows 11 if it's optional? Or will manufacturers really be that dumb to not include a webcam these days?
     
    [update2] this pertains to manufacturers that want to design products for Windows 11, so it's probably just so they can slap a "Windows 11 compatible" sticker on their product. I just wonder how they will handle the split in devices they're currently making by doing this from 2023 and on (but I guess deals for next year have already been made is the reason for that).
