Apple has pushed a new build of OS X Mavericks version 10.9.3, dubbed 13D28, to developers today, according to MacRumors. As has been the case in the past, the developer-only update is available through the Mac App store and Mac Dev Center at this writing.

Mavericks 10.9.3 13D28 is the third version of the OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 beta that has been released to developers. The second build, 13d21, was released only a week ago. It has been almost a month since Apple made the original 10.9.3 beta available to developers.

With the 13D28 build, Apple is pushing developers to work on graphics drivers and audio. To this point, the OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 beta includes support for 4K displays, offers Retina display resolution settings, and adds 60 Hz support to the Macbook Pro with Retina.

In other Mac OS X Mavericks news, Internet advertising network Chitika recently reported that OS X Mavericks has been adopted by 40 percent of U.S. and Canadian-based OS X users since it was released back in October. However, those numbers have varied slightly from one stat tracker to another, with Net Applications indicating that adoption was at 45 percent in February.

It’s currently unclear when the final version of OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 will be released to the public.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage
Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
