Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “ONLY 480P!?”.
Why would I want to go outside? I got all the tech news. I need right here so we’re all stuck inside for a while, but at least it’s a good time to catch up on whatever videos. Do you like to watch right? Well, if you’re in Europe, you might notice there’s something off about your visual binge watch. Eating experience as Netflix, Amazon and YouTube are all reducing video quality. After European regulators noted that more people sitting at home streaming high-res video could put strain on networks.
That’S what I’m paying you for Netflix is keeping high def and 4k streams available, but is reducing bit rates similar to Amazon Prime videos approach, while YouTube is defaulting to 480p within the European Union for 30 days 480p, we’re just going back to a standard unsubscribe to This porn website, quality, it looks like YouTube, is still allowing you to switch back to a higher quality manually, but it’s unclear exactly how much quality loss the average user will perceive on the service. You know normies, let us know in the comments. If you’ve noticed a difference over in Europe, you know other than the world being canceled. You look out your window.
You just see the test. Oh, it’s canceled Nvidia made a huge deal about ray-tracing when they debuted their Artie x-series GPUs, but of course, developers had to write games that supported it first before you and I could enjoy all the sparkles, but you may be seeing more of them in the near Future, as Microsoft has rolled out direct x12 ultimate, which supports new ray-tracing methods that are expected not only to run more efficiently but be easier and more flexible for developers developers, development, one cool feature is that, while ray-tracing the shader on your GPU won’t have to talk Directly to the CPU as much ultimately putting less of a load on your PC, the new DirectX is being supported by both Nvidia and AMD, and it’s also expected to be used by developers working on games for the new Xbox series X. So you can at least have some nice-looking games if the outbreak has hurt your dating life and dating is no game on that subject: you’re definitely not alone, if you’ve been spending the lion’s share of your time during the pandemic sitting inside gaming alone. This week, Verizon announced that US residents had played 75 % more video games than the previous week 75 with web traffic overall, going up by 1/5.
That’S crazy, actually headshots live streaming is also getting a big boost with twitch experiencing a 10 % increase in traffic as people attempt to find ways to socialize without going outside. Of course, some of us were already quite good at that anyway. Funnily enough, more mainstream social media sites didn’t see a traffic increase, since I guess people don’t have much to post about, except for those memes about toilet paper hoarding it’s old now.

As the company has told its employees to tell the cops they’re an essential business, their stated rationale is that Game Stop sells things that can assist with distance learning and remote work, and so they need to stay open for the time being.
