Xbox One X vs. PS4 Pro
If you were someone who missed out on the past generation of consoles, or aren’t fully convinced by the release of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S quite yet, now is actually the best time to invest in the previous generation’s hardware. Not only are you getting the best versions of each console, the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, for a cheaper price but they also are coming with massive libraries of games to choose from. Plus you can expect plenty of the new generation games to also run on these machines too, meaning you won’t miss out on most of the big titles. Unlike the jump from the Xbox One to Xbox One S, the X is actually better in several key technical areas. The same goes for the PlayStation 4 Pro when compared to the jump from the PS4 to PS4 Slim. With that background in mind, let’s compare the two souped-up consoles side by side, considering all major factors. We hope that this guide will help you decide between a PS4 Pro and an Xbox One X. Note: The Xbox One X … [Read more...] about Xbox One X vs. PS4 Pro
Cryptominers Prop Up the Gaming Notebook Market: Report
Gaming notebook manufacturers may have found a new ally: cryptocurrency miners. DigiTimes today reported that the ongoing GPU shortage has led miners in China, Taiwan, and South Korea to purchase laptops featuring RTX 30 series graphics. The lack of available RTX 30 series graphics cards is only part of the reason for this shift, according to DigiTimes, which said the shrinking price gap between a desktop GPU and a gaming notebook has also contributed to the latter’s rise among miners. Some cryptocurrency miners have reportedly asked manufacturers to combine RTX 30 series graphics with budget components to further reduce that price gap. They aren’t planning to play games with the systems so why pay for other high-end parts? We already knew that some miners had turned to gaming notebooks , but the efforts to essentially buy a GPU with a laptop for a case are new, and the report suggested that relying on these devices is becoming more popular than originally expected. … [Read more...] about Cryptominers Prop Up the Gaming Notebook Market: Report
Are robot mops safe when children and pets are present?
Most of us wouldn’t drink floor cleaner, no matter what kind of floral scents are added to it. No one wants their pets or children to do so, either — but both four-legged friends and two-legged kids that are still crawling tend to ignore wet floors, which begs the question: Is it safe for a child or a pet to walk or crawl over a freshly mopped floor and potentially ingest the solution? Specifically, let’s say you have a robot mop on an automatic schedule. It cleans while you’re away, and then your cat walks across the wet floor. Offended in a way that only cats can be, it licks its now-wet paw to clean itself. Is there any risk to your pet? Most robot mops only use water Although different companies might use different mechanisms, they share one thing in common: Water. Harsh chemicals can break down the tubing that carries water through the mop, which is why manufacturers say water alone (combined with a slightly abrasive scrubbing pad) is enough to clean most floors. So, … [Read more...] about Are robot mops safe when children and pets are present?
