Roblox's age verification system is reportedly a trainwreck |
https://www.engadget.com/gaming/robloxs-age-verification-system-is-reportedly-a-trainwreck-220320016.html?src=rss
|
Roblox s age verification system was designed as a response to allegations it has a child predator problem Less than a week in how s it going Well Wired reported on Tuesday that in some cases it s classifying children as adults and adults as children So not so great Last week Roblox made age verification mandatory for anyone using the platform s chat feature That process involves either submitting a facial age estimate via selfie or optionally for anyone or older uploading a government ID check After verifying you can only chat with groups of players around your age The move came after reports grew of predators using the platform to groom young children That in turn led to lawsuits from Louisiana Texas and Kentucky Meanwhile Florida s attorney general has issued criminal subpoenas So it might not be hyperbole to say Roblox s survival could depend on how it handles this problem It isn t exactly off to a hot start There are reports of a year old being misidentified as a to year old quot I don t want to be chatting with fucking children quot they said Another report claimed an year old was placed in the to range But the problem is happening in reverse too Online videos show children spoofing the system into believing they were adults by using avatar images One clever kid drew wrinkles and stubble on his face and was instantly deemed Another flashed a photo of Kurt Cobain and got an adult classification The feature isn t working as planned to say the least RobloxIn addition Roblox posted last week that some parents were providing age checks on behalf of their children leading to their children being placed in the category The company said it s quot working on solutions to address quot that particular problem and will share more soon Roblox shared the following statement from Matt Kaufman the company s Chief Safety Officer To suggest that our age check technology isn t working is a fundamental misunderstanding of what it takes to shift safety at scale With a global community of over million daily active users we are pleased with where we are in the roll out process It s a process that will take time you can t flip a switch while building something that hasn t existed before nbsp Tens of millions of users have already completed the process proving that the vast majority of our community values a safer more age appropriate environment Expecting the system to be flawless overnight is ignoring the scale of this undertaking We ve already shared updates with our creator community to make this a smoother transition This technology is the foundation of a new gold standard that limits communication between adults and minors by default nbsp We are building for the next decade of the internet not the next news cycle We will continue to innovate continue to require age checks and continue to lead the industry where others have been too hesitant to go Developers with games on Roblox are upset The platform s dev forum includes thousands of negative comments about the updates with many of them wanting the entire update reversed One shared a graph showing that the percentage using the chat feature dropped from around percent to percent Where does this leave Roblox Well with some developers describing games on the platform as feeling quot lifeless quot or like quot a total ghost town quot the company has its hands full It will have to figure out how to balance its priorities of keeping predators out without breaking things for everyone else The full report from Wired is worth a read Update January AM ET This story has been updated to include a statement from Roblox This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

IO Interactive raised a few eyebrows last week when it announced the minimum and recommended PC specs for First Light To run the James Bond adventure at in p at fps IOI initially said you d need to have a rig with at least GB of RAM and a GPU with GB of VRAM The studio has now revised those numbers and other elements of the specs after quot the community flagged some inconsistencies in an earlier version of the listing quot The developer blamed an quot internal miscommunication quot which led to it sharing an older version of the specs One of the recommended GPUs in the original version was an NVIDIA GeForce RTX Ti which has GB of VRAM ーnot enough to meet the supposed recommended VRAM settings nbsp It seems a little odd to think that it took IOI over a week and an enormous pile of negative press and online reaction before addressing the inconsistency not to mention the demand for GB of RAM for relatively modest p fps performance The studio says it updated the specs after quot a thorough re examination and additional testing quot We are providing today an update to the PC system requirements for First Light after the community flagged some inconsistencies in an earlier version of the listing The earlier mistake was due to an internal miscommunication leading to an older version of the specs to be pic twitter com MBBoCjWXー First Light GameIOI January In the recommended hardware section of the latest version IOI revised down the VRAM from GB to GB and it halved the RAM requirement to GB IOI also quot fixed quot the minimum CPU info The original specs stipulated that gamers would need at least an Intel Core i K or AMD Ryzen The former has now been revised down to an Intel Core i K For the tape then the minimum PC specs to run First Light with a performance target of p at fps are Processor Intel Core I AMD Ryzen Memory GB RAMVideo RAM GBGraphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX AMD RX or Intel Discrete GPU equivalentAnd the recommended specs for a performance target of p at fps are Processor Intel Core I AMD Ryzen Memory GM RAMVideo RAM GBGraphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX Ti AMD RX XT or Intel Discrete GPU equivalentThe required operating system is the same on both counts with a bit version of Windows or The storage space needed is also the same at GB nbsp IOI apologized for quot the confusion it caused with the mixup It promised to share more details about First Light ahead of the game s arrival on May ーincluding details of additional performance targets Given the way RAM and GPU prices are going here s hoping IOI isn t looking for too much more to run the game at p or K at a decent framerate This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Valerion VisionMaster Max projector review: Near-perfect image quality comes at a price |
https://www.engadget.com/home/home-theater/valerion-visionmaster-max-projector-review-near-perfect-image-quality-comes-at-a-price-140045939.html?src=rss

After a widely hyped and successful Kickstarter campaign Valerion s K VisionMaster Max laser projector has finally arrived It s the company s new flagship model in the VisionMaster series offering better image quality and more convenience than its other models However it s quite expensive and has some stiff competition from Anker s Nebula X and XGIMI s Horizon Max I was eager to see how it compared to those models and if it delivers on Valerion s promise of pure cinema It does offer better image quality but the difference isn t quite enough to justify the big jump in price for most users Features and design The VisionMaster Max has a classy squarish design with a glossy black finish up front and chrome fins on the side that house two W speakers It s smaller and fit my decor better than Nebula s tall plasticky X though to be fair the latter is also designed for outdoor use The VisionMaster Max has a similar form factor to XGIMI s Horizon Max but that model pivots on its stand while the Valerion uses a kickstand like support For setup the VisionMaster Max is quite flexible It comes with a x optical zoom so it can be installed between and feet away for a inch screen size which covers a wide range of scenarios It also features a percent vertical shift option that helps you get an optically perfect screen fit without moving the projector or employing digital keystone adjustments that affect picture quality If that still doesn t work you can swap out the included lens with a long throw option once it becomes available The company has even promised an anamorphic lens for users with CinemaScope screens Both of those items will be available for purchase separately with the prices yet to be disclosed Steve Dent for Engadget For my space I placed the VisionMaster Max on a table about feet from my inch screen and centered it horizontally as there s no horizontal shift option it can also be ceiling mounted of course Then I went into the auto alignment setting made sure that the projected image was larger than my screen and hit start alignment to get a perfect fit to my screen Though it lacks a motorized lens gimbal like the Nebula X the lens shift option provides the same flexibility so setup was just as easy For inputs the VisionMaster Max comes with three HDMI ports including one with eARC for a sound bar along with S PDIF optical and mm audio outputs Impressively it includes a gigabit ethernet connection so you can either hardwire it to the internet or connect via Wi Fi The VisionMaster Max lacks liquid cooling like the Nebula X but Valerion claims a similar fan noise level of db When I compared them side by side it was only a touch louder than the X and not at all bothersome Google TV is built in for streaming and projector control via the high quality partially backlit remote It provides a large library of apps via Google Play along with a familiar interface You get certified versions of Netflix YouTube Prime Video Disney Max and others plus Chromecast and AirPlay support and Google Assistant for voice control With GB of RAM and GB of ROM the software felt a bit more responsive than Google TV on the Nebula X Image quality Steve Dent for Engadget The VisionMaster Max has a number of features designed to optimize image quality It s one of the few consumer projectors with a dynamic iris and a feature called Enhanced Black Level EBL for improved contrast It uses an RGB triple laser light source rated for hours paired with a inch DLP chip that projects p natively or K video via pixel shifting This same chip is used on almost every consumer level K projector but XGIMI s upcoming Titan Noir Max projector will pack a much larger inch DMD chip that should deliver a sharper picture The VisionMaster Max also supports every HDR format including Dolby Vision and Samsung s HDR along with Valerion s own tone mapping HDR setting You can choose from seven picture modes for SDR eight for HDR three for Dolby Vision and four for HDR The projector handled most HDR content well though it occasionally lost detail in extra bright shots However that can largely be fixed using the extensive manual color controls With all those features the VisionMaster Max can output K fps video at up to ANSI lumens with a contrast ratio easily besting its main rivals On top of that it promises an impressive percent of the Rec HDR color spectrum with a delta E color accuracy value of less than straight out of the box any delta E less than is undetectable by the human eye Another key feature is reduction of the rainbow effect that can occur with DLP projectors After some fine tuning that s typically required with new projectors I was highly impressed with the image quality Brightness was high enough in standard mode to watch content like sports or TV shows without lowering the blinds and can be increased if you don t mind compromising color accuracy When used in ideal conditions like a darkened room the VisionMaster Max s image quality is the best of any projector I ve tested to date In Filmmaker mode with the EBL setting enabled contrast levels are outstanding with true blacks showing in dark lit scenes instead of the washed out greys seen on most projectors However I kept the EBL mode at the minimum setting as I noticed it caused some color shifting at the other levels Dynamic iris projectors can cause excessive pumping or sudden changes in light levels but after adjusting the iris to a medium setting I saw no signs of that The famously dark Game of Thrones Night King battle scene was easy to see on the VisionMaster Max Steve Dent for Engadget Color accuracy is outstanding straight out of the box both in HDR and non HDR modes particularly again in Filmmaker mode Visually I couldn t detect any anomalies when looking at color bars or other charts though my Calibrite Color Checker told me that the gamut of hues was slightly less than what Valerion claims under percent of BT Still the Max s high color accuracy allowed me to see TV series and movies exactly as the filmmakers intended for a range of HDR and non HDR movies including White Lotus season Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Andor and Dune The projector s excellent dynamic range and contrast revealed shadow details in Game of Thrones Night King battle which has famously dark scenes that are difficult to see on some TVs I have a slight amount of sensitivity to the rainbow effect but the RBE Reduction feature effectively eliminated that visual artifact for me However it also introduced a slight amount of noise so I disabled it The feature might be a godsend for some users who are particularly susceptible but it still needs a bit more refinement Audio and gaming Of all the luxury projectors I ve tested to date the VisionMaster Max is the best for gaming ーeven compared to some dedicated models It delivers latency as low as ms and a refresh rate up to Hz at p and ms for K at Hz I tested a couple of PC titles including Cyberpunk and Hollow Knight Silksong and found them to be as responsive as I ve seen on any TV but with far more immersion thanks to the huge bright and color accurate image Steve Dent for Engadget You can output audio via the S PDIF optical output mm headphone jack HDMI ports and even USB Type A ports The built in W stereo speakers work well and are fairly loud so you can use them in a pinch However since it supports both DTS X and Dolby Atmos you ll ideally want to connect it to a nice home theater audio system with support for at least surround sound In comparison the Nebula X doesn t have Dolby Atmos support but it does give you the option to purchase and easily connect stereo Bluetooth speakers at a relatively cheap price For around the same cost as the Valerion Max Anker is also offering the Nebula X Pro that comes with a giant outdoor sound system and does support Dolby Atmos Wrap up The Valerion VisionMaster Max is a highly capable indoor projector that offers the best image quality I ve seen thanks to the dynamic iris and Enhanced Black Level features However it s also a lot more expensive than rival models at It s pretty hard to justify that extra money unless you re really fussy about picture accuracy and gaming performance or need other features like the Gbps ethernet port Most buyers would be better off spending a lot less on Valerion s own VisionMaster Pro Anker s Nebula X or the XGIMI Horizon Max Again the difference in picture quality is too slight to justify the huge price jump to the VisionMaster Max You might also want to wait to see how much XGIMI s incoming Titan Noir Max K costs as it also offers a dynamic iris but has a much bigger DLP chip This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
