  • The reason the new Doom and Indiana Jones games require a card with ray tracing is a consequence of the consoles all having ray tracing and an increasing number of PC users do too.

    So to support a diminishing number of PC players would require the game to be lit twice, one with RT and one with traditional methods. Obviously this costs more in development and testing and studios are increasingly deciding it’s just not worth it.

    It’s got to be the biggest dividing line we’ve seen in years. I suspect things will settle down for a while, now.









  • The border

    Also be prepared have your photograph taken and to be ‘ten printed’. Which means fingerprints for all 10 digits will be taken. Usually right 4 fingers in one time then the thumb then repeated for the other hand.

    You must have documentation showing your onward travel from the USA. Strongly recommend printing this out rather than relying on your phone. Wifi is usually crap at customs if it’s available at all.

    Make sure you have an ESTA (or a full visa) sorted out before travel or you will not be able to board the plane.

    One other tip. Get an e-sim from someone like Nomad or Airalo. Then you can use that for data. Getting a sim in America never seems to be as simple as it should be.

    They still can. Whether premium or ad supported views pays more depends on the channel and the value of the adverts that are streamed on it. For channels / topics that advertisers are keen to appear on the ad supported views pay more, for more niche interests the premium views pay more.
