[ad_1] Netflix has declined to comment. Broadcom said it alerted Netflix to the alleged violations in September, but that the internet service had turned down attempts to negotiate a patent license.

NASA warns Moon base plans might slip by a year

[ad_1] Loverro stressed that NASA wasn’t ditching the Gateway. Rather, he saw the administration pursuing a slower spending increase that would help attract foreign partners.

‘Minecraft’ library helps you dodge news media censorship

‘Dreams’ creators can apply to sell their work beyond the PS4

[ad_1] You aren’t guaranteed to get in. The beta is only open to Early Access members “in good standing” with a body of work, and Media Molecule will want to know what you’re planning, when you hope to finish it and whether or not you’re willing to provide feedback. This could still be a big […]

Google details what you need to play Stadia games in 4K on the web

[ad_1] However, you might notice what’s not present: any mention of Mac support. Much like YouTube in Safari, Apple’s resistance to VP9 over patent issues (it prefers royalty-free formats like AV1) makes official 4K support unlikely. Take heart, though.
