Why is Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year not on January 1st?
2024-02-09 12:30:00
In China, but also in other Asian countries such as Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia or Malaysia, the new year does not start on January 1st. Indeed, their calendar is different from the one we use.
Our Gregorian calendar follows the cycle of the Earth around the Sun, in 365 days; that’s why our New Year is on a fixed date. The Chinese calendar is lunisolar. That is to say, it is based both on the movements of the Earth around the Sun and on the cycles of the Moon to count the months and to set the dates of festivals and important events. It therefore follows the phases of the Moon and the months are based on lunar cycles. Then, days are added to the final calculation so that the solar months and lunar months coincide.

Hell Divers 2: A Battle Against Insects
Jump into a battlefield overrun with insects. It lands in a landing port and lets out a cloud of dust. This body has appeared. A missile containing the warhead of a nuclear bomb is hit among a swarm of insects. The insects spit green liquid with a popping sound and fall apart. Go through it and set it on fire with a flamethrower. I can not stand it. Captures the primal instincts of man. It does not matter. Isn’t the adversary an insect that threatens the Earth?
Numerous comrades have already died and humanity also suffers enormous damage. It is a “luxury” to remain “good” when taking revenge on them. It doesn’t matter if you grind it with a machine gun, blow a hole with a rifle, blow off a head with a long-distance sniper, or melt it by spraying gas. Once the insects have been exterminated, you will be fully qualified to become the “Hell Divers” who protect the “Super Earth”.
“Hell Divers 2,” back with even more power, was officially released on February 8. Soon after launch, the game became so popular that the server exploded with the influx of users. It wasn’t until 3 a.m.

NGC 7380 is a young open cluster in the northern constellation Cepheus. Hot stars are surrounded by a spectacular emission nebula.
István Varga, Tomaj Cserszeg
The Wizard Nebula, which is about 7,000 light-years away from us, is another good example of the phenomenon when a young star cluster, about 5 million years old, destroys its cradle. However, this cradle is not small, it is about 110 light-years wide. Earlier I tried to take photos with an RGB camera, but it looked quite uncharacteristic in the dense star field. The current series was made with narrowband filters, but I varied the channels so that it looks more like a traditional RGB image. With this method, the R channel is composed of SII and H-alpha, the G channel is composed of OIII and H-alpha, and the B channel is composed of sequences made with the OIII filter.

Blizzard Announces Major Changes to Overwatch 2 Season 9: Champions, Including Revamped Ranks and Hero Buffs
Revamping Overwatch 2: A New Era of Gameplay
Blizzard Entertainment is poised to revolutionize the gaming landscape with the launch of Season 9: Champions for Overwatch 2 on February 13. This highly anticipated release brings forth a range of transformative changes, including revamped Ranks, significant hero buffs, and more. As players eagerly await this milestone update, let’s delve into the underlying themes and concepts that make this iteration truly groundbreaking.
A Consistent Firing Experience
“One of our main goals with these adjustments is to make firing your weapons and abilities feel more consistent without impacting the time to eliminate a target,” emphasizes Blizzard in a supporting blog post. Consequently, weapon accuracy has been enhanced across all heroes in response to invaluable community feedback.
The proliferation of burst damage has necessitated alterations to health pools as well. Every hero will experience an increase in health points (HP) that accommodates the amplified firepower encountered on the battlefield.
By balancing healing capabilities and lessening burst damage impact, Blizzard aims to foster longer team fights and develop new strategies centered around focused target elimination.
Redefining Competitive Play
Blizzard’s dedication to revamping Overwatch 2 extends beyond gameplay mechanics.
Youtuber spent 750 hours testing the Steam Deck OLED version, high-brightness HDR content will leave residual images
The Steam Deck OLED version has been causing quite a stir among gamers since its launch, with many players eagerly purchasing the new model. The enhanced graphics and overall improved performance have been major selling points for the new OLED version. However, the inherent screen burn-in issues that come with OLED screens have left many players hesitant about whether to buy it.
To put the screen to the test, YouTube channel The Phawx released a video showcasing the condition of the Steam Deck OLED screen after 750 hours of extreme testing. The screen was subjected to SDR brightness of up to 400 nits, HDR peak brightness of 1000 nits, and separate testing of red, green, and blue sub-pixels.
The extreme test condition involved keeping the screen content unchanged for 750 hours, which is about 31 days. While for normal use, the screen displays a variety of content and is expected to have a longer life, gamers may encounter some elements that are always present on the screen, leading to potential screen burn-in over time.
The test results showed that the screen did not exhibit “real” screen burn-in, where content is permanently burned onto the screen.

Apple iPhones dominate the used smartphone market
Apple has surpassed Samsung and dominated the used smartphone market thanks to its different policy compared to its competitors.
Apple and Samsung are two manufacturers currently leading the used smartphone market. In 2023, the number of used smartphones sold is a record 309.4 million units, an increase of nearly 10% compared to 2022. In particular, Apple products dominate the market with absolute dominance. about 82% of the used equipment market.
According to leading market research company IDC, the used smartphone market will exceed 430 million units by 2027, with a market value of 109.7 billion USD.
The popularity of used smartphones is increasing because it is an economical and environmentally friendly option. Users can save a significant amount of money when buying used smartphones instead of buying new ones. In addition, reusing used smartphones also helps reduce the amount of electronic waste and protect the environment.
Instead of upgrading devices on average every 2 years, most organizations and individuals using a large number of Apple smartphones will switch to an upgrade cycle every 3 or 4 years. This is not limited to smartphones, but is also similar to Macbook computers.
A longer replacement cycle will make it diffi cult for manufacturers to expand production scale as well as introduce new equipment models and optimize technology.
