What you need to know about monitors and 4K TV

4K TVs offer the best viewing experience today compared to any other standard

It is one of the screens with the highest pixel density on the market at 8 million. Unlike 1080p or 720p screens where you can spot pixels in an image, 4K screens offer a view that looks like you’re watching it from a window, not a TV.

What you need to know about 4K TV?

4K refers to high-quality image technology, device, or content. 4K describes in two screen resolutions: 4096 × 2160 and 3840 × 2160. The largest has been introduced in digital cinemas while the second is more present in consumer devices like TV screens and computer monitors.

Resolution 3840 × 2160 is referred to as Ultra-Hight Definition or UHD while 4096 × 2160 is 4K true. But 4K UHD is used to describe both standards.

Regardless of the screen size you are watching, 4K offers to games, movies, and TV fans a unique experience. This experience is possible thanks to the doubling of the number of pixels you find on a normal 1080p TV.

The true 4K quality is noticeable on large screens such as the 55-inch TV. There is a debate today as to whether the human eye can read every detail that 4K offers. However, the difference between 4K and 1080p is easily discernible to the human eye, however, the quality of the content is also important.

It is advisable to see 4K content on 4K screens but they look just as great on 1080p or 720p screens. 4K resolution will automatically convert to 1080p or 720p. However, viewing 1080p or 720p content on 4K screens will simultaneously expose their poor quality due to the lower resolution.

May 2020 Windows 10 Update

Microsoft is releasing the first May 2020 major update to Windows 10

Known as Windows 10 Version 2004, this update brings some new features to Microsoft’s desktop operating system

After almost a year and a half of testing, Windows 10’s May 2020 update is available for download. Coded Windows 10 Version 2004, this update brings some new features to Microsoft’s desktop operating system.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Most notable is a new File Explorer, but it can’t be left without mentioning the improved search functionality, support for passwordless connection, and a new Cortana experience.

But the most important at least in our eyes is the Cloud Download option. This option makes Windows 10 reset much easier to a previous configuration. Virtual desktops and DirectX 12 Ultimate have been improved.

To download the new update you need to check if it has been made available to you in Windows Update. Visit Windows Settings> Update & Security> Windows Update> Check for Updates. If it is ready for download you will notice a message “Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004” to appear in the optional updates. Just click “Download and install now” to proceed with its installation.

It will not be available to everyone at the same time and may arrive in a few weeks. Using the Update Assistant you can force the installation of the update before it appears in Windows Update.

We advise you to avoid updating as Windows 10 updates in recent months have had problems that have cost users dearly. Microsoft uses the update phase to address the issues that appear in the first users, thus avoiding a catastrophe for the entire Windows 10 user base that exceeds 900 million.

The next major update to Windows 10 will come in the second half of 2020 and will focus on security updates and minor adjustments instead of new features.

Android 11

Here’s what to expect from Android 11

After Developer Preview of Android 11, we now know more of what to expect specifically from the latest version of the operating system. It is not yet advisable to install it on a smartphone as it is still very unstable. However, it is not bad to learn what innovations we will enjoy after the update officially arrives.

Android 11 Release
[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

So, here’s what to expect from Android 11

  • Screen recorder Google has been playing with this feature for some time and an icon is already present in the Quick Settings window. This time we expect a finalized version with even more specific options.
  • Chat bubbles: More or less like Messenger, the chat circles with another contact which float across the screen over any application will be available for all chat programs. Telegram and WhatsApp work best with it.
  • Menu distribution: The distribution window will allow you to select 4 favorite apps. So when you want to share something you won’t have to waste time with other apps. Also the most frequent contacts.
  • Stop notifications during registration: When you are taking a picture or video, the sound or vibration of a message can be annoying. Android 11 will allow you to restrict both.
  • Airplane Mode no longer shuts down Bluetooth: Up to Android 10, the Airplane mode also turned off Bluetooth, at 11 this will no longer be a problem. It can be used without restrictions even when the waves are closed.
  • Notification story: Android does not allow you to view notifications once you have removed them. The new system will allow you to see them all in the new notification history option.
  • Removal of permissions for unused applications: In the “App Permissions” section of each application, a new function will be found, which will deny all the permissions given for accessing that application. If an app has received your authorization for location, photos, or other data, if you have not used it for a long time you may deny this right.
  • One-time permission: Android 10 allows apps to retrieve your location data, microphone, or camera only when open. Now with Android 11 you will be able to give them permission only once and then the system will take away their right.
  • Support for curved screens: The latter are a trend among Android devices, developers will now have the opportunity to better manage these spaces by defining them as interactive areas.
  • New technology: Android 11 will be better suited to folding devices technologies and 5G. It will also include low-latency video decoding for gaming services such as Google Stadia.
  • Windows inside windows: Multitasking has always been a priority and feature of Android and this time the small window will be able to be enlarged or reduced more easily. Just like on a PC, just grab one of the 4 corners of the window and redefine it.

We have already entered the second phase of the launch, which will be finalized in August, where the official update of Android 11 will begin.

New HP EliteBook laptops refreshed with AMD Ryzen 4000 & 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake CPUs

HP EliteBook laptops are designed for practicality rather than advanced functionality

The company yesterday unveiled new updated models with some mandatory updates such as the 10th generation Intel Core processors and AMD Ryzen Pro 4000 series. Two laptops from this line are the ones that stand out the most: EliteBook x360 1030 G7 and 1040 G7. They fall into the category of convertible devices that can be used as laptops but also tablets promising 5G technology and battery life up to 29 hours according to the company.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

All models have a new redesigned keyboard which is quieter and a webcam which worries privacy the most. The convertible x360 models have a smaller design compared to their predecessors.

HP EliteBook X360 1040 G7

No other laptop better represents the innovative business value and potential of HP laptops than the EliteBook X360 1040 G7 and EliteBook x360 1030 G7 models. They are the most expensive and the most complete in terms of what they can do.

x360 1040 G7 has a 14-inch screen while x360 1030 G7 has a 13-inch screen. They are essentially the same except for the screen size. EliteBook x360 1040 G7 has an aluminum design with a thickness of 1.5cm and a weight of 1.2 kg. HP says that laptops have a smaller screen frame than any other business laptop.

The 14-inch screen can be equipped with a 1080p or 4K touch panel. The 1080p variant saves a lot of money and has a brightness of 400 nits otherwise 550 nits on the 4K panel.

Inside they hides an Intel Core 10-Gen processor up to Core i7-10810U with RAM up to 32GB and SSD M.2 up to 2TB. A fingerprint sensor is hidden on the keyboard along with a privacy button. Including 5G technology.

HP EliteBook 855 G7

The next laptop unveiled belongs to the mid-range and what makes it special is the AMD Ryzen Pro 4000 series processor. These processors were introduced by AMD just a few weeks ago.

Specifically, the EliteBook 855 G7 has an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U processor with 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. The 15.6-inch screen has a 1080p panel with a brightness of 250 or 500 nits. The EliteBook G7 is 1.77cm thick and weighs 1.67kg.

There are advanced options like the 1000 series with fingerprint scanner, privacy camera but only 4G LTE connectivity. The laptop goes on sale in August along with the 835 G7 and 845 G7 subvariants.

HP EliteBook 850 G7

The latest but not the least model belongs to the budget line of the 800 series. HP has applied changes to make these laptops benefit from the 1000 series technology but at a lower price.

The EliteBook 850 G6 is 2cm thick and weighs 1.76 kilograms. It has a screen that covers 87% of the panel and a thin frame at the bottom and top of it. With a size of 15.60 inches, the screen is a 1080p panel.

HP will equip the laptop with processors up to Core i7-10810U, up to 64GB RAM and 1TB PCIe m.2 SSD.

Judas Means For Rockstar Games-min

What Judas means for Rockstar Games

In 2016, there were some riots caused by Rockstar Games, when the company applied for a trademark called “Judas”

As a name never associated with Rockstar Games, Judas immediately sparked much speculation as to what it meant as a name or code name. Now in 2020, the parent company of Rockstar has renewed this trademark, but what is its meaning?

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

JUDAS TRADEMARK

As mentioned above, the registration of this trademark by Rockstar is actually old news. The fact that this trademark was renewed in 2020 has sparked a spark in all theories, a reaction that is more than understandable. Take-Two and Rockstar Games have shown in the past with Agent that trademarks are important and that they can reflect the stage of development of a game.

A MEDIEVAL IP FROM THE ROCKSTAR ANA

Something that immediately comes to mind, especially from biblical references, is the medieval game that was rumored to be in development by Rockstar last year. In November 2019 a rumor began circulating on Reddit about a new medieval IP, thought to be Rockstar’s next project after Red Dead Redemption 2. This game was thought to be an open-world adventure that would focus on duels and sword fights as its main mechanics. Considering that the word Judas usually refers to a kind of traitor and speculating that the project is real, it could be a revenge story for any knight.

JUDAS MAY HAVE ARRIVED FROM AN AGENT

Another remote option is that Judas may be the continuation of the canceled Agent project. Considering the time between Agent’s trademark and the discovery of Judas’ trademark, which took place about two years later. Many have speculated that Agent was simply canceled and neglected, due to the great success of projects like GTA and Red Dead Redemption.

There is also the possibility that Judas will be a meeting of the key parts that were once part of the Agent project. This is all a theory, without any proof, but that stands to some extent.

A CODED NAME

It is likely that Judas will be codenamed for another Rockstar project. Many emerging games use encrypted names to protect privacy to not be detected by leaks. Since Rockstar is so secretive as a company there is no way we know for sure. It remains to be seen what Judas will be like.
