Soft for so! Free programs for PC on promotions. Here you can get paid software for free! Promotions for licensed programs

And they agree to pay 100 green for one program, but where to get them. Haymaking of greenery has long been completed and fragrant, crispy haystacks stand in towers reminding us of the smell of the sun and summer. But there are services that, quite legally, distribute licensed programs for free. And this is called Promotions - a manifestation of the advertising activity of companies, developers to promote their products to the masses. You can subscribe to the newsletter and find out which program will be free tomorrow. Aha! This is an urgent need to take and use. And I would recommend this one to an evil neighbor. Very convenient, however.

Let's take a look at a few Internet resources that are currently the most unique software distribution projects.

Here is a video on the service Buzz99.com created back in 2013:

Let's stop at this place. Session ended.

Following a detailed description of the architecture of the future Intel 11th generation (Gen11) integrated graphics, new information about its performance has appeared on the Web. A well-known leaker alias Tum Apisak found test results for next-generation Intel integrated graphics in the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark database.

To begin with, let's recall that the integrated 11th generation Intel GPUs of the GT2 class used in processors for the mass segment will include up to 64 execution units (Executive units, EU). In comparison, current Intel GT2-class embedded GPUs only have 24 EUs. Therefore, the performance gain of the 11th generation of integrated graphics will be provided not only due to architectural changes, but also due to an increase in computational units.

Unfortunately, the Ashes of the Singularity test does not specify the specifications of the processor that was tested, and only notes that it was a chip with four cores, eight threads and Intel Gen11 graphics. At Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080 pixels) at low graphics quality settings, the new Intel "plug-in" was able to provide an average of 15.1 FPS.

For comparison, the current integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 can only provide 9.9 FPS under the same conditions, while the more advanced UHD Graphics 630 is gaining 11.9 FPS. It is much more interesting to compare the new product with the “embedding” of AMD. The Vega 10 graphics processor of the mobile Ryzen 7 2700U turned out to be a little slower - 14.9 FPS, but already a full-fledged integrated Vega 11 graphics in the desktop Ryzen 5 2400G is able to provide 29.3 FPS. Also note that NVIDIA GeForce MX130 and MX150 discrete graphics cards are capable of 22.6 and 25.6 FPS, respectively.


It turns out that in the mobile segment, Intel has indeed reached parity with the integrated graphics of its competitor. The difference between Vega 10 and the tested Gen11 is only 1.34%. But the new Intel lags behind the desktop Vega 11 by 94%, and by almost 50% from the discrete GeForce MX130.

Of course, in fairness, it should be noted that Intel's integrated graphics are still under development, and only an engineering sample of the processor with new graphics was tested here. In addition, the drivers obviously have not yet received the necessary optimizations and improvements. And of course, you can't judge performance by a single test. But the fact that Gen11 is already well ahead of Intel's current integrated graphics inspires some hope.

According to rumors, already in May, SpaceX will begin launching the first Starlink satellites of a new constellation for the planetary satellite Internet into low Earth orbit. In just a few years, 12,000 satellites will be launched for the Starlink network. Each of them will carry massive metal parts in the form of orbit correction thrusters and a fairly large silicon carbide mirror antenna for high-speed laser communication between satellites to reduce data transmission delays over the satellite network.

The dimensions of the Starlink satellite are comparable to a Tesla Model 3 car. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) estimates that upon re-entry into the atmosphere after the end of the satellite's life, it will break into 500,000 pieces, many of which will reach the Earth's surface and may cause damage, including injury or death of a person. According to experts, a satellite constellation of this size has a 45% chance of being injured or killed every six years. Interestingly, the FCC's request to SpaceX came in late February, about two weeks after SpaceX's rival OneWeb filed its request with the FCC about the low probability of complete combustion of Starlink in the atmosphere.

In the FCC response, SpaceX assured that the Starlink project is a development that is constantly being modified. SpaceX engineers have already begun redesigning the satellites to eliminate "dense" metal parts. It is planned to replace the metal in the correction engines and the reactor. The rejection of silicon carbide mirrors is not reported. Yet SpaceX says the new Starlink design will reduce the likelihood of debris falling to the ground to zero. The new Starlink satellites will burn up completely in the atmosphere. As for satellites already prepared for launch or partially manufactured, the first 75 Starlink will carry elements that still have a good chance of reaching the surface of our planet.

However, despite the promise of a zero probability of debris from the “new” Starlink falling to the ground, experts believe that, depending on the specific conditions, even the modified design of the satellites does not guarantee its complete combustion in the atmosphere.

United Company Svyaznoy | Euroset reports that more and more Russians are choosing the trade-in program to exchange a used smartphone for a new one.

In particular, in January-February of this year, the number of clients who used the trade-in service jumped almost five times - by 386% - compared to the same period in 2018. At the same time, the total number of handed over smartphones reached 35 thousand pieces.

At the beginning of 2019 in the salons of the company Svyaznoy | Euroset Russians most often purchased Apple iPhone XR, Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9+ devices under the trade-in program. The iPhone 5S, iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 lead the list of models to be handed over.

« The Trade-in program has proven itself in the market and continues to gain popularity among our customers. We expect that starting from March, the most popular models will be the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+ and SE released a few days ago.”, notes Svyaznoy | Euroset.


By the way, at the end of last year, the retailer introduced a multi trade-in scheme, under which you can rent several gadgets at once at the expense of the cost of a new device.

It should also be noted that well-known manufacturers such as Samsung and Huawei have launched their own trade-in programs for mobile devices.

Director General of the state corporation Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin said that the creation of the first stage of the Vostochny cosmodrome is nearing completion.

The new Russian cosmodrome is located in the Far East in the Amur Region, near the city of Tsiolkovsky. The construction of the first launch complex began in 2012, and the first launch took place in April 2016.

According to Mr. Rogozin, the construction of the first stage of the Vostochny should be completed soon. " There are problems there, but these problems are mostly of a paper nature. That is, the objects are physically built, they just do not have the necessary documentation to take them into operation.”, - quote the words of the head of Roscosmos, the Rossiya-24 TV channel and the RIA Novosti online publication.


Meanwhile, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instructed Dmitry Rogozin to increase the efficiency of implementing spaceport development projects.

The document on the website of the Government of Russia states the following: “ To note the low efficiency of the implementation for 2018 of the federal target program "Development of cosmodromes for the period 2017-2025 to ensure the space activities of the Russian Federation". State Corporation Roscosmos (D.O.Rogozin) to take measures to unconditionally improve the efficiency of the implementation of this program in 2019 and report to the Government of the Russian Federation by March 30, 2019».

The Chinese company Xiaomi has published a teaser image, talking about the imminent release of a new generation of thin and light laptop Mi Notebook Air.

The main feature of the laptop will be a small weight - only 1.07 kilograms. For comparison: the current Apple MacBook Air laptop weighs 1.25 kilograms.

Unfortunately, it is not yet clear what size display the new Xiaomi will receive. But we can assume that it will be a panel with a diagonal of 11.6 or 13.3 inches.

At the moment, it is known that the hardware platform of the forthcoming Mi Notebook Air portable computer will be an Intel processor.

Network sources add that the novelty will most likely inherit design elements from Xiaomi laptops of the previous generation, as well as from the aforementioned MacBook Air.

It should also be noted that Xiaomi presented the first laptop under its own brand at a special event in July 2016.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has released Apple's patent application for an interesting development in the field of computer devices.

The document is called "Wireless Charging System With Radio-Frequency Antennas". The application was filed back in September 2017, but it has only just been made public on the USPTO website.

Apple proposes to integrate a special system of wireless power transmission to peripheral devices into desktop computers. We are talking primarily about the keyboard, mouse and touch control panel.

The energy field will be formed in a certain area on the desktop, where input devices are traditionally located. Thus, a wireless keyboard and mouse theoretically will not need a wired connection at all to recharge the built-in rechargeable battery.

It is likely that such a system will be implemented in iMac desktop computers and, possibly, in Apple monitors in the future. However, so far nothing has been reported about the timing of the commercial implementation of the proposed solution.

Perhaps one of the most extraordinary images of Jupiter taken from the planet's orbit was released by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The image shows numerous vortex formations in the gas giant's atmosphere. In particular, the most recognizable feature of the largest planet in the solar system, the so-called Great Red Spot, is captured in all its splendor. This colossal storm is about 40,000 kilometers long and 13,000 kilometers wide.

The photo also shows other vortices: they have different colors and vary in scale. In addition, you can see bizarre wave-like formations.

The presented image is formed on the basis of three images transmitted to Earth from the Juno interplanetary station, which is currently studying the gas giant.

Photographing was carried out on February 12 this year during the next approach of Juno to Jupiter. At the time of the survey, the station was located at a distance of 26,900 to 95,400 kilometers from the upper boundary of the gas giant's atmosphere.

Juno was launched in August 2011, and the device reached the goal of its mission on July 4, 2016. The station will explore the planet until at least July 2021.

The new Intel DCH driver for Windows 10 (25.20.100.6618) not only brought with it an updated Intel Graphics Command Center utility, but also revealed the names and configuration of the Intel Gen11 integrated graphics. The details were hidden in a small and unencrypted INF file included in the driver package.

Gen11 embedded accelerators will be available in eleven flavors divided into three categories: high performance Iris Plus graphics, standard Ultra HD, and low power (LP - Low Power) version of UHD graphics for entry-level mobile processors.

The flagship solution is Intel Iris Plus Graphics 950. It contains 64 execution units (Execution Units), which corresponds to 512 scalar processors (Shading Units). This model will offer maximum frequencies and, apparently, will be equipped with an ultra-fast eDRAM memory buffer, similar to past generations.

Next come the Iris Plus Graphics 940 and Iris Plus Graphics 930, with options for 64, 48, or 32 execution units. Previous leaks suggest that these accelerators in higher configurations will be able to impose a fight on AMD Radeon Vega 10 integrated graphics.

Intel UHD Graphics 920 and Intel UHD Graphics 910 are sure to become part of the mainstream desktop and mobile processors with an extended thermal package. They contain 32 EU versus 24 EU for previous generation HD Graphics 620/630 adapters.

Low-power versions of Intel UHD Graphics will receive modifications to 48 and 32 EU. As recent testing in Ashes of the Singularity showed, one of the Gen11 LP versions is quite capable of competing with the GeForce MX130 discrete adapter. Finally, there are a couple of special UHD Graphics accelerators with the name GT0 in the code name. Most likely, GT0 means no iGPU in the processor. Therefore, it is safe to assume that Intel will continue to offer F-series chips for the Ice Lake generation.
