Education has changed considerably due to advances in technology. Educators have access to many tools that change the way they teach. Students have better ways to learn and to write essays. None of the tools are 100% perfect, but they are improving all the time. How can students use technology to improve their essay writing and boost creativity?
Choosing the right video card for your computer can be a daunting task. There are so many different options to consider and it can be difficult to know which one is best for you. However, selecting a good video card has its rewards as it allows users to enjoy better graphics performance and higher frame rates while gaming and in work tasks such as CAD or 3D-modelling. Tom's Hardware recently published an actual ranking of all graphic cards according to their price-to-performance ratios.
Samsung has presented its flagship S-line smartphones for 2023. Usually, in addition to smartphones, the company also presents new headphones, smartwatches, or tablets. This year, Samsung decided to focus exclusively on smartphones. There were no surprises: the lineup consists of three models. Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. We have already managed to twist them in our hands and make a first impression. Although, of course, we will talk about them in detail in full reviews. In general, there are not many differences from last year's lineup. But there are quite important ones. The ones that users have been waiting for for a long time. In terms of design, the Ultra model is very similar to its predecessor, while the younger models have a redesigned back cover and camera unit. And now in more detail.
"What should I play?" is a question that every gamer asks himself or herself, and can spend days (if not weeks) looking for an answer. We have already partially answered this question in this text by talking about the most anticipated games of 2023. However, it is simply unrealistic to put all the releases in one text, as the year promises to be a good one for new releases. We shouldn't forget about PlayStation 5, which will have something that players on Xbox or PC (at least for the next 2 years) won't be able to play. And I'm talking about console exclusives. There will be not so many of them this year, but it is impossible not to mention them. It is also worth remembering that in 2023, the next generation of virtual reality glasses, PlayStation VR2, will be released, which will have a solid library of games at the start. And finally, there are always games whose fate is not so clear, but their release can still happen. Therefore, the gg editorial team decided to divide this text into 3 blocks: games that will be released in 2023; games that will be released on PS VR2 and games that could potentially be released by 2024.
Why does artificial intelligence (AI) draw strange hands with six fingers or more? Why does artificial intelligence (AI) draw strange hands with six fingers or more? This topic, like everything related to neural networks, has become very relevant and raises a lot of questions, so we need to deal with it once and for all. Only the lazy have not tried to "play" with Midjourney or DALL-E. The photos they create in a matter of minutes quickly find their audience. Needless to say, entire communities of 100+ thousand people are being created to share their AI-generated works.
There are at least three noteworthy PC games coming out in the first quarter of 2023. Forspoken, a Square Enix action game where a girl has to fight monsters with magic, opens the new gamer season. It will be followed by Hogwarts Legacy - an open-world role-playing game in the Harry Potter universe, but a hundred years before the events of the book. Finally, Company of Heroes 3, a historical tactical strategy game on the western front of World War II. All three games with modern graphics, and therefore demanding on the power of the processor and video card. It's time to upgrade your old PC or build a brand new one. A sensible choice would be the latest Core i5-13600KF processor and a video card, on the contrary, the last generation GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which is on sale now at a discount.
Can a team of 28 people and a few cats create a game that will compete for the title of "Best Game of the Year" and more importantly - win the hearts of millions of people. This is exactly what happened with the indie game Stray. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that if you haven't played indie games before, but want to get acquainted with this industry, then this project is one of the best options for familiarization. Stray is, without exaggeration, a phenomenal game. Why? The game from an unknown team created a real sensation in the industry. They managed to do this through many years of development and the desire to create a cool game. That's why Stray deserves to be played by everyone. After all, such games are created by single developers or a small team without huge financial support. It is also worth remembering that some developers begin to engage in "independent games" after working for many years in large companies and due to fatigue, exhaustion and other factors begin to do what they like and where they will not control their every step. The first two developers who started creating Stray are so tired of it all that they now avoid their real names everywhere and use pseudonyms.
The more multi-core modern processors are, the more important the memory bandwidth becomes. This is achieved by increasing the bus width (dual-channel 64+64 bits) and increasing the frequency with lower timings (delays). But buying "the fastest memory in the Wild West" is not always reasonable. Processors and motherboard chipsets often limit the maximum frequency of RAM. Therefore, we picked up five different memory models: still DDR4 and already DDR5, single and paired set, for laptop and desktop, which are overclocked automatically or vice versa manually.
Having assembled a PC with glowing internal components, which can be admired through the transparent side window of the case, it will be appropriate to get a set of gaming gadgets with RGB. The first candidates for purchase are a mouse and a keyboard. Lightweight perforated mice and keyboards with progressive optical switches are in fashion now. For the sound will be responsible headphones with ear cushions of anatomic foam and cardioid USB-microphone, which records a voice without background noise. Finally, all this can be beautifully placed on the gaming table with height adjustment to the user's height.
The Galaxy Flip4 and Galaxy Fold4 smartphones with foldable screens presented during this year's Samsung Galaxy Unpacked presentation in August left the impression that this time we are dealing with an evolutionary rather than revolutionary development of the line. In the automotive industry, there is a term "facelift," which describes minor updates to a model, mostly concerning changes in appearance. In our case, on the contrary, the appearance of the novelties has changed so imperceptibly that it will be difficult to define this difference between Flip4 and Flip3. And all the main differences are inside, so we will have to go deeper into them. Each difference, by itself, does not make the new Flip4 an outstanding smartphone (although it still has no equal in its class), but there are quite a lot of them, which, taken together, leaves a good impression, worthy of the flagship model 2022.
A common feature of student life is essay writing. With the gadgets that are ubiquitous these days, this part of scholarly life is not that difficult anymore. Technology makes writing easier, faster, and cost-effective. There are various other benefits that technology can bring to the table to make rigorous coursework less challenging.
While Dendy, Sega Megadrive and even PlayStation One came with two gamepads at once, today's game consoles come with only one. To play games with two friends sitting next to each other on the same couch, you will definitely need a second joystick. In addition, for some games it is desirable to have a highly specialized controller, such as a steering wheel for auto racing. To quickly download games from the Internet of 100+ GB each you need a fast Wi-Fi router. To store all these games, an additional SSD, preferably internal rather than external (not all games can be launched from an external one). And in order to protect the console and TV from power surges, it would be reasonable to get a voltage regulator.
In general, the laptop is a self-sufficient device: it has a display, keyboard, touchpad and even stereo speakers. But often these components for the sake of portability are not made very convenient. Managing the mouse is still more accurate than the touchpad, and the music sounds better in headphones than in the speakers. That is why not right away, but some time after buying a laptop, it is worth starting to collect his personal "gentleman's kit" useful accessories.
Not long ago I shared my rapturous enthusiasm for the fantastic possibilities that our time offers to man (and to me in particular). But when talking about the pleasures of life in the web of progress, it would be disingenuous not to mention its side aspects. Things that, frankly, are getting on my nerves.
