German outlet 3DCenter shows that GPU chips from giants like Nvidia and AMD continue to be expensive. As has been the case over the last 18 months, the units are selling well over market price and scalpers are making massive profits. Nvidia especially has seen no change in the price of GPUs, with both selling between 85% and 89% about their MSRP levels. AMD is seeing some decline, but it is small....
We can expect that price to translate to other markets when the GeForce GTX 1630 arrives globally, more or less. It is worth noting the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1630 is an important product because it is the first 30-series GPU to have the GTX branding. Even so, it is not going to provide the sort of power you usually get from a GTX card. Of course, you shouldn’t really expect blazing performance from this card considering its pricing and specs....
Unfortunately, Mac users weren’t so lucky. It’s not clear if it was a decision by Microsoft or Apple’s unwillingness to cooperate, but now it hardly matters. An app called OneCast is now available on the platform, and it does exactly the same job. Supporting up to 1080p quality, low latency, and even remote streaming, it does everything you’d hope. All it requires is macOS 10.10 or higher, a router, and an Xbox One....
Rather than managing everything via the top bar, users get contextual controls when they highlight text. This makes it easier to adjust text quickly, with options for formatting options like highlight, bold, font color, underline, bullet points, checklists, and links. The addition was first spotted by Christopher Fernandes on Twitter and has since been confirmed by the OneNote team. It appears to be a staggered rollout, so some users may have to wait to test the functionality....
In a previous interview in 2016, Xbox head Phil Spencer described VR as feeling like “demos and experiments”. A lot has changed since then, but it seems the executive’s skepticism about VR has remained intact. In an interview with Stevivor, Spencer said he regrets that he “doesn’t love” his previous answer because it could come across as demeaning to those who work on VR. However, he maintains that Xbox customers don’t associate it with the tech....
According to Twitter’s WalkingCat, Microsoft will be offering Ultimate to Insiders for a low price until its launch. This is likely as thanks for testing the Xbox service, and means dirt cheap access to hundreds of titles. Minor Savings, Massive Conveince However, regular pricing is a lot less appealing. For reference, Game Pass is usually $10 a month. At a yearly subscription, Xbox Live Gold is $5. It’s not yet clear if the $14....
ByteDance has long been accused of working with the Chinese government and supplying user data from people around the world. According to Forbes, scanning the LinkedIn profiles of people working for TikTok shows that 300 of them previously worked with Chinese state media outlets.

Despite the fact that the app is still unreleased, which means it may be unstable, you can actually find it at the Google Play Store.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the independent regulatory body of the US government. Devices looking to be launched in the US must pass through the FCC. When a product makes it through the regulations, it typically means it will launch soon. That makes sense with the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S2 as it is nearly a year after the first model was launched. The new device has been certified with the model number SM-W727V....
Skype Insiders can now test a Spotify add-in that brings the world’s leading music streaming service to the app. This is a direct integration, which means users won’t need to leave Skype to perform certain actions. Unfortunately, the add-in is limited to users in the United States on the Insider branch. We guess Microsoft will want to roll this ability out to other markets eventually. Indeed, the company says a global roll out should be incoming through the next few weeks....
According to WindowsLatest, that also includes the base model. It seems the entry-level model will get an Intel Core i3 processor and just 4GB of RAM. Those are some modest specs but should still be enough to deliver a decent PC experience. However, the report points to Microsoft also offering an improved variant of the base model. Specifically, one that retains the Core i3 CPU but bumps the available RAM to 8GB....
Though many will be tempted to skip security updates, this is an essential one. The update addresses three execution side-channel vulnerabilities, also known as Meltdown and Spectre. The bug occurs due to a CPU shortcut called speculative execution. Essentially, the processor sends a scout ahead of its tasks to guess which path it will take next. This lets the CPU perform more quickly, bit comes with recently discovered risks. Google’s Project Zero found a way to exploit this process and piggyback off the scout....

Like last year, those who can’t attend the event in person will be able to get rewards via the Xbox MixPot program. Those viewing on Mixer have the chance to win DLC for a number of titles, so long as they’re logged in and watching at the time of the show.

As Netflix continues to grow in popularity with its enviable collection of movies, TV shows, and documentaries, users are looking for new ways to enjoy it. Even though streaming Netflix with an active internet connection is pretty convenient, you might find yourself in a situation where you want to play Netflix videos also offline.

Importantly, the notes sync from the app to the web, though it often requires a refresh to catch up....
