Average Frames Per Second (FPS) is a common metric in PC gaming performance, but consistency in gameplay experience is equally important, highlighted by metrics such as 1% low and 0.1% low average FPS. CapFrameX is a tool used for capturing and analyzing detailed performance data, including frametimes, which provide a more accurate assessment of gaming performance than basic FPS counters. Key metrics generated by CapFrameX include: - Average FPS: Overall framerate averaged across the capture session. - 1% low average FPS: Average of the worst 1% of framerates, indicating sustained performance. - 0.1% low average FPS: Average of the worst 0.1% of framerates, highlighting rare but significant performance dips. To ensure accurate benchmarking results with CapFrameX, users should update their UEFI BIOS, operating system, and drivers, clear unnecessary applications, configure power settings for maximum performance, monitor temperatures, and conduct multiple benchmark runs under consistent conditions. The setup process for CapFrameX includes downloading the software, configuring capture options, and verifying the setup through test captures. After capturing benchmark runs, users can analyze the data using the Analysis and Comparison tabs in CapFrameX to evaluate performance metrics and identify potential issues. Common pitfalls in benchmarking include inconsistent scenes, overlooking frametime variance, and not preparing the system properly.

Android is introducing a real-time privacy feature in the Android 16 QPR3 beta that notifies users whenever an app requests access to their location. A blue dot appears next to the battery indicator when location data is actively being used, and users can swipe down to see which apps are accessing their location. This feature aims to enhance user awareness and control over location tracking by providing immediate notifications and options to manage permissions. The feature is currently available for Pixel devices, with plans for broader rollout in future updates. It aligns with Android's ongoing efforts to improve privacy, including one-time permissions and background access queries. Developers will not need to opt into this feature, as it will automatically display whenever an app requests location data.

World, a biometric ID verification initiative co-founded by Sam Altman, has launched an updated app featuring an encrypted chat integration and enhanced cryptocurrency functionality. Founded in 2019 by Tools for Humanity, World aims to combat AI-generated digital impersonations and establish digital "proof of human" tools. The app's World Chat messenger offers end-to-end encryption and color-coded speech bubbles for verified contacts. Users can now send and receive cryptocurrency, receive paychecks, and deposit bank funds without prior verification. World uses an iris-scanning device called Orb for authentication, converting iris data into a unique digital code for a World ID. The company has scanned fewer than 20 million eyes, with aspirations to reach one billion. To simplify the verification process, Tools for Humanity introduced Orb Minis, hand-held devices for self-scanning eyes at home.
