К восстановлению электроснабжения населенных пунктов привлечены аварийные бригады облэнерго.
По состоянию на понедельник, 4 сентября, из-за дождей и грозы 167 населенных пунктов остались обесточенными. Об этом сообщает пресс-центр Государственной службы Украины по чрезвычайным ситуациям.
По данным ведомства, в результате осложнения погодных условий в виде дождей, гроз и порывов ветра из-за срабатывания системы защиты линий электропередач произошло обесточивание 167 населенных пунктов в четырех областях, а именно: Львовская – 73 населенных пункта, Ивано-Франковская – 51 населенный пункт, Тернопольская – 37 населенных пунктов и Черновицкая – 6 населенных пунктов.
Кроме этого, в ГСЧС добавили, что к восстановлению электроснабжения населенных пунктов привлечены аварийные бригады облэнерго.
Как сообщал MIGnews.com.uа ранее, в связи с тем, что погодные условия в Украине ухудшаются, ожидаются грозы и порывы ветра до 15-20 м/с, то управление по вопросам чрезвычайных ситуаций Департамента городского благоустройства и сохранения природной среды напомнило украинцам, как нужно себя вести, если усилится ветер.

Меркель выступила против членства Турции в Европейском союзе

Канцлер Германии Ангела Меркель заявила, что Турция не должна стать членом ЕС. По ее словам, она проведет консультации о приостановке соответствующих переговоров с Анкарой.
Федеральный канцлер Германии Ангела Меркель заявила, что попытается положить конец переговорам о членстве Турции в Европейском союзе. Об этом она сказала во время телевизионных дебатов со своим оппонентом на выборах, социал-демократом Мартином Шульцем, сообщает Reuters.
По словам Меркель, « понятно, что Турция не должна стать членом ЕС ».
Она добавила, что « поговорит с коллегами » о достижении общей позиции по этому вопросу.
С таким заявлением Меркель выступила после того, как Шульц также пообещал покончить с переговорами в случае избрания канцлером на федеральных выборах в Германии 24 сентября.
Первоначально Меркель предостерегла от приостановки переговоров с Турцией, заявив, что было бы безответственно подвергать опасности отношения с этой страной в то время, когда граждане Германии содержатся там в тюрьме.
Двенадцать немецких граждан находятся под стражей в Турции по политическим обвинениям, четверо из них имеют двойное гражданство, отмечает агентство.
В телевизионных дебатах между основными претендентами на пост канцлера Германии, которые прошли 3 сентября, победу одержала Меркель – действующий глава правительства и лидер блока « Христианско-демократический союз » и « Христианский социальный союз ». Канцлер Германии набрала 55% голосов респондентов. Кандидат от социал-демократов Мартин Шульц – 35%.
26 апреля президент Турции Реджеп Эрдоган заявил, что страна не будет ждать вечно у « ворот Европы » и может отказаться от переговоров о вступлении в ЕС .
В конце августа министр иностранных дел ФРГ Зигмар Габриэль заявил, что Турция не сможет вступить в Европейский союз до тех пор, пока президентом страны остается Реджеп Эрдоган.
18 августа Эрдоган призвал турецкую диаспору в Германии (около 1 млн избирателей) не голосовать за партии, входящие в правящую парламентскую коалицию. Он назвал « врагами Турции » « Христианско-демократический союз », Социал-демократическую партию и экологическую политсилу « Союз90/Зеленые ».
По его словам, немецкие власти противодействуют евроинтеграции Турции и не выполнили договоренности о реадмиссии мигрантов .
Габриэль назвал призыв Эрдогана « беспрецедентным ». Президент Турции в ответ посоветовал немецкому министру « знать свое место ».

China pledges new funding for BRICS as group opposes protectionism

0

China will give $80 million in funding for BRICS cooperation plans, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday, while the bloc of five emerging countries pledged to oppose protectionism. Xi offered 500 million yuan ($76.4 million) for a BRICS
XIAMEN, China (Reuters) – China will give $80 million in funding for BRICS cooperation plans, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday, while the bloc of five emerging countries pledged to oppose protectionism.
Xi offered 500 million yuan ($76.4 million) for a BRICS economic and technology cooperation plan, and another $4 million for projects at the group’s New Development Bank (NDB) during a three-day leaders summit in the southeastern city of Xiamen.
China’s new contributions to BRICS pale in comparison to its $124 billion pledge earlier in May for Xi’s own Belt and Road initiative, which aims to expand links between Asia, Africa, Europe and beyond as a new way to boost global development.
The announcement came amid questions over the relevance of BRICS and China’s commitment to the NDB in light of the Belt and Road initiative and the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, both key efforts by Beijing to bolster its global influence.
Xi said during a plenary session at the BRICS leaders’ summit that the five emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – should increase cooperation in sectors such as trade and investment, monetary policy and finance, and sustainable development.
« We should redouble our efforts to comprehensively deepen BRICS partnerships and open BRICS cooperation,  » he said.
Set up in 20l5 as an alternative to the World Bank, the Shanghai-headquartered NDB was seen as the first major BRICS achievement after the group came together in 2009 to press for a bigger say in the post-World War Two financial order created by Western powers.
The BRICS leaders will gather in Xiamen through Tuesday, giving host China its latest chance to position itself as a bulwark of globalization in the face of U. S. President Donald Trump’s « America First » agenda.
A draft « Xiamen Declaration » seen by Reuters, a formal version of which is expected to be issued later, said BRICS countries will continue to firmly oppose protectionism as they are committed to an « open and inclusive » multilateral trading system.
The communique emphasized the need to be vigilant in guarding against « inward-looking policies » that could hurt global market confidence, and called upon all countries to fully implement the Paris climate agreement.
The summit has been overshadowed by North Korea’s sixth and most powerful nuclear test, which came on Sunday just hours before Xi opened the meeting with a keynote speech, and prompted a vow of a « massive » military response from the United States if it or its allies were threatened.
Though China’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the test, Xi did not mention North Korea during that 45-minute address or in his televised remarks during Monday’s plenary session.
The BRICS grouping said in its draft communique that it strongly deplored Pyongyang’s test, but that the problem over its nuclear program should only be settled through peaceful means and dialogue.
« We express deep concern over the ongoing tension and prolonged nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula,  » it said.
North Korea tested two ICBMs in July that could fly about 10,000 km (6,200 miles) , putting many parts of the U. S. mainland within range and prompting a new round of tough international sanctions.
Though angered over the tests, China – North Korea’s closest ally – has lambasted the West and its allies over recent weeks for promoting the « China responsibility theory » for North Korea.
The U. N. Security Council was set to meet later on Monday to discuss new sanctions against the isolated regime.
Chen Fengying, an economics expert at the state-backed China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, said on the sidelines of the BRICS meeting that at the most BRICS countries will take note of the North Korean problem.
« Intervention is rather difficult. Our cooperation is mainly on global governance,  » she said.

ESA retrieves NASA astronauts with new procedure in wake of hurricane

0

Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin and NASA astronauts Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson returned to Earth this morning after their stay on the International Space Station, landing in the steppes of Kazakhstan. From there, …
One of the consequences of the devastating hurricane Harvey was the delayed take-off for NASA’s G5 plane out of Houston. In order to cope with this delay and start with postflight science as soon as possible, ESA and NASA worked out an exceptional plan: an ESA plane would retrieve the two NASA astronauts in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, and bring them back directly to Cologne, home of ESA’s astronaut centre. They landed safely in Germany at 14: 30 CEST today.
After a couple of hours in Cologne for basic medical checks and initial science activities, Peggy and Jack will board the NASA aircraft and depart for Houston.
NASA and ESA medical teams are ensuring as many research experiments as possible can be completed with this change of protocol.
ESA’s Director General Jan Woerner says: « Spaceflight is a global endeavour and partnerships created by the International Space Station extend beyond space back to Earth.
« Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by Harvey, our American colleagues and their friends and families. We welcome Jack and Peggy as citizens of Earth and will do everything to make them feel comfortable while ensuring the science continues until they can continue their voyage home. »
Jack, Peggy and Fyodor leave behind ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli, NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik and Roscosmos astronaut Sergei Ryazansky who will maintain the Space Station and continue running scientific experiments. Mission control centres including Johnson Space Center remain operational.
The next trio to visit are already gearing up for launch on 12 September. NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba will join Russian commander Alexander Misurkin in their Soyuz MS-06 spacecraft.

iPhone 8 release date, specs and price: ‘iPhone X’ power button will let users activate Siri
THE LONG AWAITED iPhone 8 is officially launching in just over a week.
The smartphone, tipped by some to arrive as the ‘iPhone Edition’ or ‘iPhone X’ will be Apple’s 10th-anniversary smartphone and looks set to be the first to debut wireless charging tech, a curved AMOLED display and an unusual vertical dual rear-facing camera. If rumours are correct, the so-called ‘Edition’ will launch alongside the less-impressive iPhone 7S and 7S Plus.
Related: Galaxy S9 price, release date and specs
We’ve rounded up everything we know about the iPhone 8 so far and will update this article as soon as we hear more.
Release date The iPhone 8 will be officially unveiled on 12 September. Apple has sent out invites (below) to a launch event in its newly-built Steve Jobs Theatre on its new campus, where it’s also expected to unveil the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus.
Naturally, Apple will stream the event on its website, and it’s expected to kick off at 6pm UK time.
Despite the iPhone 8’s imminent launch event, some reports claim that it might not be available to buy until the fourth quarter, and in limited quantities. A note by analyst Timothy Arcuri from Cowen and Company has added weight to this and claims that production could be delayed due to issues with its Touch ID sensor.
Another report suggests the iPhone 8 may not arrive until 2018. A research note from Deutsche Bank, picked up by Business Insider, claims the smartphone won’t make it onto shelves this year due to supply chain issues and « technical challenges ».
That said, Digitimes is reporting that mass production of the iPhone 8 is on schedule and that the smartphone will see release in October.
Price If it’s anything like Apple’s new MacBooks, next year’s iPhone will be more expensive than this year’s release, with some analysts claiming that the highest-spec model will be the first iPhone to cost more than $1,000.
A report at Forbes claims that pricing could start at an eye-watering $1,100 to $1,200, with Apple offering the handset in 128GB and 256GB configurations only.
Rumoured specs – 5.8in 2.5D OLED edge-to-edge display – New design with an ‘all-glass’ construction – 71x143x7.4mm – Wireless charging support – Apple A11 chip – Rear-facing Touch ID sensor – iOS 11 with improved Siri, P2P payments – Face-scanning technology – Vertical dual cameras on rear – Support for LTE speeds up to 450Mbps
Latest news 4/9/17: Adding weight the rumours that Apple will ditch the traditional home button on the iPhone 8, developer Guilherme Rambo claims that users will instead be able to activate Siri by holding the smartphone’s power button.
4/9/17: Notorious Twitter tipster Evan Blass has tweeted that the iPhone 8 likely will arrive as the ‘iPhone X’. Blass has also said that, following its unveiling on 12 September, the so-called iPhone 8 will be available to pre-order from 15 September, and will start shipping on the 22nd.
29/08/17: Japanese electronics site Macotakara claims that the iPhone 8 will finally offer wireless charging, but that Apple is planning a proprietary twist on the Qi standard to ensure that only Apple-approved charging pads can be used with its devices. What’s more, the site suggests that Apple will restrict its wireless charging to just 7.5W – half the wattage supported by the Qi standard. That’ll mean that Apple devices will charge much more s-l-o-w-l-y – half as quickly to be precise. It should also come with a beefier battery -around 2700 mAh or more, according to reports.
25/8/17: Got a spare grand knocking about? Because that’s what the iPhone 8 might cost, according to The New York Times. It’s not a new rumour, but given how close we are to launch it makes it firmer. This will be a premium model, it reports, but it isn’t entirely clear what the extra cash actually buys. That « grand » incidentally, is in dollars – or $999 to be precise – which in Her Majesty’s pound sterling will probably equate to, err, £999 or thereabouts (inc. VAT) .
24/8/17: Apple will unveil the iPhone 8 on 12 September, according to Mac4Ever, which allegedly received confirmation from telecoms companies. Separately, a post on Weibo claims that the smartphone will be made available in a new 512GB capacity option, with all models set to pack 3GB RAM.
23/8/17: According to the Korea Herald, the iPhone 8’s much-rumoured facial recognition system will be the handset’s « crown jewel ». The report claims that the tech will work in « just a few hundred milliseconds » and that it will replace Apples Touch ID sensor. The Korea Herald adds that adding 3D sensors will be adopted for the front and rear of the device to « realise AR applications, which integrate 3D virtual images with user’s environment in real time. »
22/8/17: A new leak, via SlashLeaks, has shown off a number of alleged iPhone 8 parts, including its flex cable for power transfer, some of its internal components and its display assembly (below) , which seems to confirm reports of a full-screen design with a ‘notch’ at the top to accommodate the phone’s front camera and earpiece.
2 1/8/17: John Gruber has taken to Twitter to claim that the iPhone 8’s much-rumoured wireless charging feature will require an additional accessory in order to work, while images on Chinese social media ‘confirm’ that Apple is working on a wireless charging pad to launch alongside the iPhone 8. However, Gruber claims that the feature might not be available to launch, noting that it could instead arrive with iOS 11.1.
17/8/17: In the strangest update you’ll probably see on this list, fast food chain McDonald’s appears to have leaked the iPhone 8’s ‘full screen’ design. In marketing for its ‘MyMaccas’ app (below) , sent out to nugget fans in Australia, McDonald’s includes an image of an iPhone with an edge-to-edge display, complete with the much-leaked ‘notch’ at the top of the screen which will reportedly house iPhone 8’s earpiece, front-facing camera and sensors.
17/8/17: Yet another rumour has claimed that Apple will bin Touch ID on the iPhone 8 in favour of face recognition. Mehdi Hosseini of Susquehanna Financial Group told Barron’s that Apple has decided to ditch its planned fingerprint sensor under the glass of the screen, because of problems with its « controller » chip.
15/8/17: A shaky video (below) has surfaced showing what looks like the iPhone 8 being assembled in a Foxconn plant. The 10-second clip doesn’t give much away but does appear to confirm that the handset’s rear shell will house a vertical dual camera setup.
14/8/17: The ‘copper’ coloured iPhone 8 (above) will reportedly launch as a new ‘Blush Gold’ variant, according to a post on Weibo via a so-called Foxconn Insider, and will replace Apple’s current ‘Rose Gold’ offering. The same post claims that this new model will be available with only 64GB or 128GB built-in storage.
10/8/17: Developer Guilherme Rambo has found yet more tidbits of information in the HomePod’s code. His latest find suggests that the iPhone 8 will be able to know when you’re looking at it, and could mute notifications when you’re gawping at the screen. Seperately, developer Steve Troughton-Smith has discovered that the iPhone 8’s virtual home button Developer Guilherme Rambo is resizable and can be hidden at the user’s command.
9/8/17: KGI Securities’ analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is back with more predictions, and this time is claiming that, while some rumours point to a launch in October, the iPhone 8 will be unveiled ‘on time’ in September. His latest report, obtained by Apple Insider, says that the handset will be available in ‘limited quantities’ though, with just two to four million handsets to be produced this quarter. Kuo also says that the iPhone will support fast charging through a Lightning-to-USB-C accessory, and notes that the iPhone 8 will be available in three colours – Black, Silver and Gold.
8/8/17: A new image of the iPhone 8 (below) , which comes via the ever-reliable Evan Blass, shows the handset in what appears to be a third-party protective case from Urban Armor Gear. While the spirit level-esque bumper ain’t all that exciting, it shows off the iPhone 8’s almost completely bezel-less display, complete with an odd ‘notch’ at the top to accommodate the earpiece, front-facing camera and sensors.
7/8/17: Some more details about the iPhone 8’s so-called ‘Face ID’ feature have surfaced online, courtesy of a report from iHelp BR. It has discovered some code strings that suggest that the face unlocking functionality could work when the device is ‘resting’, or flat, which means users won’t have to pick it up and gawp at it.
3/8/17: The iPhone 8’s rumoured ‘Face ID’ feature could be used for more than unlocking the device. According to more code spotted in the HomePod’s firmware, Apple plans to utilise the facial recognition technology for Apple Pay authentication, adding weight to the rumours that Touch ID could be dumped altogether.
Separately, Apple could also introduce a new ‘SmartCam’ scene selection features to the iPhone 8’s camera, that will be able to intelligently capture the best photos when shooting specific scenes like sun rises and fireworks.
2/8/17: During the firm’s Q3 earnings call this week, Tim Cook appeared to debunk speculation that the iPhone 8 will be delayed. He said that, for the next quarter, Apple is expecting bumper revenues of between $49bn-52bn, likely a sign that the firm’s upcoming flagship will be released in September.
31/7/17: Apple appears to have accidentally confirmed the iPhone 8’s ‘Face ID’ unlocking functionality. Early software for its HomePod speaker, spotted by iOS developers Steve Troughton-Smith and Guilherme Rambo, reveals support for face unlock inside BioMetricKit, all but confirming that iPhone 8 users will be able to unlock their device by gawping at it.
The code also ‘confirms’ that the iPhone 8 will feature an edge-to-edge screen, with no top bezel and no physical home button.
27/7/17: A new report from Macotakara adds yet more weight to speculation that the iPhone 8 will be plagued by delays and shortages, and claims that it won’t be released until the end of the year. The same report claims that Apple will not produce a white version of the iPhone 8, adding that colour variation will be « few ».
26/7/17: In a note seen by Apple Insider, Jun Zhang from Rosenblatt Securities writes that full production of the iPhone 8 won’t begin in earnest until the end of September. This, he claims, is due to Touch ID issues, with Apple working to iron out issues with the scanner before the smartphone launches. The report predicts that Apple will produce 25 million « iPhone 8 » units in September, and another 60 million in the holiday quarter.
24/7/17: A new leak courtesy of Forbes claims that the iPhone 8 will feature a « significantly improved » battery life. This will be due to a new L-shaped battery configuration that should deliver iPhone 7 Plus-beating stamina, but in a significantly smaller chassis, it claims. The same report claims that pricing for the iPhone will start from $1,100 to $1,200, with Apple to offer the handset in 128GB and 256GB configurations.
21/7/17: J. P. Morgan Apple analyst Rod Hall has said that Apple’s 10th anniversary will launch as the ‘iPhone Pro’, and said it will be available in limited quantities from September, debunking previous talk of delays. Hall claims that around two million handsets will be available from September, lower than his previous nine million estimates.
19/7/17: There’s yet more talk of the iPhone 8 arriving later than usual, with iGeneration reporting that Apple will unveil the handset in October. Interestingly, it claims the firm plans to unveil a new iPhone 5SE device at an event in August. Yeah, we’d advise to take this rumour with a pinch of salt.
17/7/17: Forbes claims to have revealed the ‘final design’ of the iPhone 8, having received CAD files from case designer Nodus. The report claims that « fears Apple would fall back on a less ambitious Plan B are unfounded » and says that users can expect to find the long-rumoured bezel-less design, 5.8in display and vertically-aligned rear-facing camera. The images (below) also reveal that the iPhone 8’s power button will be twice as big as that found on the iPhone 7, fuelling speculation that Apple could copy Sony with Touch ID integrated into the switch.
14/7/17: Apple might equip the iPhone 8 with a 3D laser system to make for better augmented reality (AR) functionality. So says Fast Company, which reports that the rear-facing laser will enable better depth detection for augmented reality apps, and a more accurate type of autofocus for photography.
12/7/17: A report at Fast Company claims Apple is in a flurry of ‘panic’ as it works around the clock to fix software bugs plaguing the iPhone 8. According to the report, Apple is struggling with issues plaguing the phone’s wireless charging support and its 3D sensor, which previous rumours have claimed will replace Touch ID on the 10th anniversary iPhone. If these issues are not ironed out, the report notes, the iPhone 8 could face production and delivery delays.
10/7/17: According to John Gruber, the iPhone 8’s wireless charging accessory may not be readily available when the handset launches later this year. This suggests that wireless charging won’t be supported out of the box, and will instead require a separate, no doubt proprietary, accessory.
A separate rumour, courtesy of Benjamin Geskin, claims the iPhone 8 will have a ‘mirror-like’ finish (above) that will be available in four colours at launch.
5/7/17: Alleged retail packaging (below) for the iPhone 8 has surfaced online, courtesy of Weibo. It shows a dual-camera setup that’s mounted vertically instead of a horizontal configuration that you saw on the iPhone 7 Plus but seems to suggest that Apple will stick to an aluminium design. This is unlikely given the huge number of rumours pointing to a redesigned glass chassis, so we’d advise taking this rumour with a hefty pinch of salt.
4/7/17: Bloomberg has added weight to an analyst’s predictions that the iPhone 8 could dump Touch ID and is reporting that Apple is testing an « improved security system » that will enable users to log in, authenticate payments and launch secure apps by scanning their face. This, the report claims, will be powered by a new 3D sensor that will allow it to scan a face and unlock the iPhone without « a few hundred milliseconds », and looks set to replace the current Touch ID system.
3/7/17: It’s a big day for iPhone leaks, as KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed in his latest report, seen by 9to5Mac, that the 5.2in iPhone 8 might feature no Touch ID sensor. This seems odd to us, but Kuo claims that Apple likely faced ‘technical issues’ which prevented it from equipping the upcoming iPhone with a screen-embedded Touch ID sensor. Instead, the iPhone 8’s front-facing camera will enable face recognition, according to the report.
3/7/17: Another day, another leak, and this one appear to confirm the death of the home button. Benjamin Geskin has posted an image of a leaked screen bracket (below) , straight out of production HQ at Foxconn, which allegedly shows off the front of the iPhone 8. If legit, there won’t be a home button on Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone, hinting, once again, that it could feature a display-embedded Touch ID sensor.
29/6/17: On the 10th anniversary of the original iPhone, a video (below) courtesy of OnLeaks and Tiger Mobiles has shown off the upcoming iPhone 8 from all angles. The handset, based on 3D CAD drawings, matches up to previous speculation with its glossy design, edge-to-edge screen and dual rear-facing cameras. It also doesn’t feature a physical home button, hinting that the iPhone 8 might feature a screen-embedded Touch ID sensor. The video goes so far as to measure the handset, with the iPhone 8 mockup measuring in at 71x143x7.4mm.
26/6/17: OnLeaks has posted an image (below) of what appears to be an iPhone 8 dummy unit, showing off – once again – the phone’s glossy design, edge-to-edge display and dual rear-facing cameras. With no Touch ID sensor on the back, the leak hints that the handset could pack an under-screen fingerprint sensor.
22/6/17: A research note obtained by Apple Insider claims that Apple is still « undecided » on the fingerprint technology for the iPhone 8. The note, from Cowen and Company’s Timothy Arcuri, said that the firm has three options: thinning the cover glass over a sensor area, creating a pinhole through the glass for an optical or ultrasonic sensor, or trying a « film » sensor integrated into the display, using either capacitive or infrared technology. Regardless of which method Apple chooses, Arcuri notes that there will probably be a « one to two month » delay on the iPhone 8.

Radosna nowina ogłoszona przez Kensington Palace wywołała poruszenie na całym świecie. Już za kilka miesięcy brytyjska rodzina królewska znowu się powiększy.
Od kilku miesięcy pojawiały się pytania, czy Kate Middleton jest w trzeciej ciąży. Za każdym razem, kiedy księżna pojawiała się publicznie, dopatrywano się brzuszka. Niestety bezskutecznie. Zagraniczne media jednak co jakiś czas donosiły o tym, że pojawiają się przesłanki ku temu, że będzie trzecie « royal baby ». Jak widać spekulacje te potwierdziły się, a my przypominamy zdjęcia Kate z poprzednich ciąż.
Jak wyglądała?

The best gaming PCs for 2017: Desktop PC reviews & buying advice

0

Your guide to the latest and best gaming PCs of 2017. Check out our latest reviews and buyer’s guide on the top desktop PCs for this year.
Gaming is one area in which the desktop PC still reigns supreme. Consoles are great, but they simply can’ t match the graphical power of the latest gaming PCs.
Of course, you also get plenty of performance for all your non-gaming needs and a graphics card can also offer a considerable performance boost to other applications, such as photo and video editing software.
While you can go straight to the list below and buy a PC in the exact specification reviewed, it’s worth understanding what to look for as each supplier allows you to customise and configure your PC to tailor it for your needs.
Different games place different demands on your computer hardware, but choosing a gaming PC will involve a balancing act between CPU and graphics performance.
For gaming PCs we’ re happy to allow system builders to overclock processors, which can significantly increase performance without having to stump up for the most expensive chips, like Intel’s 7th-gen Core chip s and AMD’s Ryzen .
Overclocked processors place additional demands on the system’s power supply and also require better cooling, so expect to pay more for PCs with more extreme overclocking. You can overclock the processor yourself if you wish, but it can be a good idea to buy a pre-overclocked system that’s covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
There are several points to consider when choosing the right motherboard for your PC. If you’ re not into technical details you may be tempted to overlook the motherboard and concentrate on the processor and graphics, but the motherboard is extremely important.
Not all motherboards support overclocking, and opting for a lower-cost motherboard can allow you to spend a little more on your graphics card, which can have a big impact on your final performance figures.
If you want the latest ports and connectors including USB 3.1 Gen 2 (which supports transfers at twice the speed of USB 3.0 – also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) then make sure you check this before ordering.
It’s usually the graphics card that will determine the overall quality of your gaming experience. This is why we suggest gamers go for a mid-range processor as the difference in price will almost certainly serve you better spent on the graphics card rather than on the CPU.
To ensure smooth gameplay, you generally want to achieve a minimum of 60 frames per second (fps) in your game. This is the limiting speed of most PC displays, so you won’ t really need to go faster than this unless you have a high-speed gaming monitor that allows for faster refresh rates.
Any extra performance will then allow you to increase the quality settings in your game, making characters sharper, textures more realistic and graphical effects more immersive.
AMD’s Radeon RX 580 isn’t much different from the older RX 480, but the new RX Vega cards are now arriving. Even they aren’t as quick as Nvidia’s GTX 1080 Ti, so read our graphics card reviews to find out how each card performs.
It’s still niche, but you can buy an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift and play VR games on a PC.
You can read our complete guide to VR for more in-depth information on the headsets, games and apps available.
If your PC struggles to play games at 1920×1080 – the minimum is considered 30 frames per second – then it’s not going to cope with running an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive which both have a 2160×1200 screen, especially if you want 90fps, which is the ideal frame rate for a decent experience.
For more, see Nvidia’s VR Ready site and AMD’s Radeon VR Ready page, but also check out the VRMark results in our PC reviews to see how they compare to each other.
We’ve already talked about processor cooling, but gamers tend to like their PC tower system to look the part as well. Many come with fans that light up in various colours, but don’t overlook the fact that the case needs to be practical. Internal cable management aids airflow, while fan controllers let you reduce noise or boost cooling as necessary.
Graphics cards can also come with various cooling systems, the more advanced of which can allow for faster clock speeds on the GPU and less noise when playing games.
For more immersive gameplay, go for the largest display you can find and one with a good contrast ratio. TN-based monitors will cost less and provide most of these features, but IPS-based displays will give you better overall colour reproduction and wider viewing angles, although response times tend to be slower.
For a more responsive display, go for a gaming monitor with a high refresh rate of 120- or 144Hz, although you’ ll need powerful graphics to supply frames at this speed.
For more see our list of the best gaming monitors .
If you’ re using your PC on a desk with a monitor, you’ ll benefit from the improved responsiveness of wired rather than wireless devices. Look for high-resolution mice, and keyboards with programmable keys and backlighting.
High-grade mechanical switches in keyboards have a better ‘feel’ and provide longer life than cheap membrane switches. Here are the best gaming keyboards.
A gaming sound card can provide a more immersive experience by adding multiple sound effects, with improved audio fidelity. Also consider a gaming headset with a built-in mic.
Warranty terms are crucial when it comes to gaming PCs and a key advantage of buying a pre-built overclocked PC is that all of the overclocking will be tested and covered by the vendor’s warranty. The longer the warranty the better, but also look for a collect-and-return rather than return-to-base option. Also pay attention to whether parts and labour are both covered and for how long.

У Південній Кореї бачать ознаки можливих нових запусків балістичних ракет КНДР – Новости – КНДР – Южная Корея – ракета
Міністерство оборони Південної Кореї не виключає, що КНДР може найближчим часом запустити міжконтинентальну балістичну ракету. Про це повідомляє Reuters з посиланням на представника міноборони Чанг Кюнг-Су.
« Ми продовжуємо бачити ознаки можливих нових запусків балістичних ракет. Ми також прогнозуємо, що Північна Корея може запустити міжконтинентальну балістичну ракету », – заявив представник міноборони.
Нагадаємо, раніше влада Північної Кореї заявила про успішне випробування боєголовки з термоядерним зарядом для міжконтинентальної балістичної ракети.
За даними влади КНДР, випробування водневої боєголовки сталися вранці в неділю, 3 вересня 2017 року. При цьому заяву було зроблено в ефірі Центрального телебачення Північної Кореї.
Як відомо, за день до цього Пхеньян оголосив про створення власної водневої бомби. Північнокорейські вчені показали лідеру країни Кім Чен Ину водневу боєголовку, яку можна встановити на балістичні ракети.

W. Brytania: Radość na dworze królewskim. Elżbieta II jest zachwycona

0

Pałac Kensington poinformował w poniedziałek, że książę William i księżna Kate spodziewają się trzeciego dziecka. Brytyjska para książęca ma już czteroletniego syna, księcia George’a i dwuletnią córkę, księżniczkę Charlotte.
O ciąży poinformowano w specjalnym komunikacie, w którym podkreślono, że królowa Elżbieta II i pozostali członkowie rodziny królewskiej są « zachwyceni » informacją o trzecim dziecku Williama i Kate. Służby prasowe Pałacu Kensington zaznaczyły również, że ze względu na niedyspozycję związaną z ciążą zdecydowano o odwołaniu zaplanowanej na poniedziałek oficjalnej wizyty księżnej w Hornsey Road Children’s Centre w Londynie. W trakcie lipcowej wizyty w Polsce księżna Kate żartowała dziękując polskim mamom z firmy Whisbear za prezent – misia wydającego uspokajający dla małych dzieci szum, który pomaga im zasnąć – że « wygląda na to, że po prostu będziemy musieli postarać się o kolejne dzieci ». Jej komentarze zostały wówczas podchwycone przez brytyjską prasę jako pierwsze sygnały możliwego powiększenia rodziny. Trzecie dziecko Williama i Kate będzie piąte w linii do brytyjskiego tronu, po księciu Walii Karolu, księciu Williamie i dwójce dzieci pary. Najstarsze z dzieci, książę George, w czwartek pójdzie po raz pierwszy do szkoły. Rodzice wybrali dla niego prywatną placówkę Thomas’s Battersea w południowym Londynie, gdzie czesne wynosi ponad 17 tys. funtów rocznie (79 tys. złotych) .

Some Nintendo Switch games will require microSD cards to play the full thing

0

Nintendo has revealed that soon some of the games for its Switch console will require a microSD to access all content.
It’s something we knew would happen eventually but Nintendo has confirmed that some Nintendo Switch games will soon require the use of a microSD card in order to access all of their content.
In an official announced Nintendo stated that “a microSD card will be needed for certain Nintendo Switch games that contain an especially large amount of content and require additional storage for players to enjoy the full experience.”
One such game is NBA 2K18. Nintendo has said games that have this limitation will be clearly labelled – now on the game’s box there’ ll be a large white space on both the front and back stating that an internet download and microSD card will be required.
In a statement to IGN, Nintendo of America confirmed that while a microSD card will be required to access the full game, those who purchase a game and don’ t have a microSD card immediately to hand will still be able to play small sections of the game.
“If you purchase a physical version of a game that requires an additional microSD memory card, you will be able to play a portion of the game right out of the box (for example, specific levels or modes) , ” the representative said.
The confirmation aligned neatly with Nintendo’s announcement that it’s partnering with SanDisk to release a collection of Nintendo Switch branded microSDXC cards in 64GB and 128GB sizes.
If you’ re less bothered about branding, though, and you plan to be loading your Switch up with a lot of games it might be worth considering the mammoth 400GB microSDXC card Western Digital announced at this year’s IFA .
It admittedly has an eye-watering recommended price of £225 (around $290, AU$370) which makes it close to buying a second Switch.
However, given that the Switch can support card sizes up to 2TB and this is currently the largest card in the world it’s an appealing option for those who don’ t want to have a library of microSD cards replace what was once a library of physical games.
