PC Gamer did the math, and you can burn through as much as 15.75GB per hour of 4K streaming. At lower resolutions, you’ll still need a connection of at least 20Mbps for Full HD streaming, and 10Mbps for 720p. This means 9GB per hour of Full HD streaming, and 4.5GB per hour at 720p. In other words, Google Stadia will burn through metered connections’ quota in no time. Taking the 4K streaming as an example, you’ll use up 1TB of data in a mere 65 hours....

Instead, it will take place through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).

Khairy says this mandate would be allowed under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994 that regulates employers’ responsibilities to protect the safety, health, and welfare of workers, with the justification that unvaccinated employees endanger the workplace. Additionally, the minister wrote that MoH might be considering an “opt-out” option for those who refuse to get vaccinated. Naturally, there is a catch behind the option as those who willingly opted out from receiving their vaccine will also have to forego certain privileges that will only be given to fully vaccinated individuals....
After four weekends, Hobbs & Shaw has now grossed slightly more than $US 147 million in North America, making it only the 6th highest-grossing movie in the franchise. There’s still a very slim possibility of it beating Fast and Furious (2009)’s $US 155 million gross, but it’s pretty much set in stone at this point that it’s not going to surpass Fast Five‘s $US 209.8 million. Furious 7 tops the list with $US 353 million, followed by Fast & Furious 6 ($US 238....

“What’s a SPAC?” you may ask. And what’s with these financial people and their bizarre terminology? While we can’t answer the second question, we can certainly answer the first. But to understand what SPACs are, you first have to get acquainted with IPOs. What are IPOs? Initial public offerings (IPOs) are the traditional way of getting on a stock exchange. A company will find an “underwriter” (typically an investment bank), which will initially fund the IPO by buying the company’s shares with the goal of selling them later for a profit – that’s essentially how the underwriter makes money....
