LIVE STREAMING HAS taken off in the past decade, to the point where it’s now ubiquitous across many social media platforms. So what is it? Live streaming is when video or audio content is simultaneously recorded and broadcast in real-time via the internet. Twitch and YouTube remain the most popular sites, but you can also find live streaming on social media sites, such as Facebook and Snapchat.
Live streaming is a great platform to watch your favorite content and experience the anticipation you get when watching live television. Gaming is one of its most popular forms, but it isn’t the only reason to get into streaming. There are all types of media you can stream: lifestyle, sports, podcasts, craft, work, vlogs, travel, music, and much more—as long as it’s legal (for obvious reasons), you can stream it.
In fact, the best way to explain live streaming is that it’s the internet’s version of TV, only with a lot more creative freedom and the opportunity for everyone to have a go. If you have some charisma and talent, combined with a bit of luck, you can even make a living from it.
Year after year, the live streaming industry is growing in size and popularity. It is estimated that it will reach upwards of $70 billion by the end of 2021, which is pretty impressive, considering it only started to gain traction around ten years ago. Thanks to live streaming, the internet has become a great place to get the live content you’re after. No longer confined to passive consumption of stuffy TV schedules, with live streaming, there is more scope for two-way communication and getting to know your favorite creators.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
