  • Currently most monitors use 16bits for colour (65,536 different possible colours).

    The human eye can see about 10,000,000.

    HDR / True colour is 24bits, 16,777,216 colour variations, which is more than what humans can see.

    You should care because it means images on your device will look true to life, especially as screens get brighter materials like gold will look much nicer.






  • It’s an initiative to stop game companies (EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard etc) from being able to decide if you can play a video game that you’ve bought. The example used is for the video game “The Crew” which was an online-only racing game. After the servers were shutdown by Ubisoft, the game that many people bought became unplayable.

    What StopKillingGames wants, is that any company that publishes / develop games provide a way for people who own the game to continue playing it indefinitely. This would most likely come in the form of a game server that could be run by any owner of the game, and shouldn’t be a requirement that publishers / developers run the servers forever as that would be unsustainable.
