Netflix blew up 2020. Record number of users, huge profits and rating of the best TV shows and films
Many cinemas have closed in the past year due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has played into the hands of Netflix and other streaming services. Netflix added 37 million paying subscribers last year, hitting the 200 million mark. In 2019, the service received 28 million subscribers.
Netlix revenue per user has grown from $ 9.88 on average in 2018 to $ 11.2 today. The majority of new subscribers (83%) came from outside the US and Canada. About half of new users are from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region has become the second largest source of user growth.
At the same time, annual revenues rose to $ 25 billion, up 24% compared to 2019, while operating income rose a whopping 76% to $ 4.6 billion. Netflix revised its 2021 operating margin forecast – Netflix now expects a 20% margin, up 2 percentage points from last year. In the first quarter of this year, the company is forecasting a modest 6 million user growth.
The most popular TV series was “The Crown”, which was watched by over 100 million families. The Queen’s Gambit attracted 62 million families and boosted sales of chessboards. Midnight Sky was seen by 72 million families in the first four weeks of its premiere. Couple for the Holidays was rated by 68 million families, Christmas Chronicles Part 2 by 61 million, and We Can Be Heroes by 53 million.
From the looks of it, Lupine will be the next big hit. It is predicted that 70 million families will watch it in the first four weeks.

For the first time in the history of Xiaomi. The latest flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra will receive a variable aperture lens
Insider Digital Chat Station told something about the camera of the promising flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra. According to the informant, a lens with a variable aperture will be prescribed in it. This technology will be introduced for the first time in a Xiaomi mobile phone.
A first for Xiaomi, but variable aperture lenses are nothing new for Huawei. Perhaps, in the case of Xiaomi, such a lens will be installed in a module with a 1-inch Sony IMX989 main sensor. As for the front camera, it is expected to use a 32-megapixel sensor and a wide-angle lens.
Previously, Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately announce the specifications and release dates of Redmi K50 and Xiaomi 12.
The Chinese resource ITHome announced when phones of the once flagship Xiaomi Mi 10 line will receive MIUI 14. This will happen in April this year. Moreover, the update will be based on Android 13, not Android 13.
The firmware will be released for Xiaomi Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro and Mi 10 Lite. It is also noted that recently Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, Xiaomi 11 Lite and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE received the latest version of MIUI 13.
Xiaomi previously officially confirmed that the devices of the Mi 10 line will receive MIUI 14. But the date or at least the approximate date for the release of the firmware was not indicated. It should be noted that in April MIUI 14 will be released for Xiaomi Mi 10 in China, but in other regions it will obviously appear later.

We waited two months and we will wait another two weeks. AMD told when it will release a new driver for Radeon RX 6000 and other cards (older)
AMD top manager Frank Azor, who is responsible for the direction of gaming solutions, promised users of 3D cards Radeon RX 6000 and older a new Adrenaline driver: it will appear within two weeks.
The situation, if not extraordinary, is rather strange: since the release of the Radeon RX 7000 line, the company has consistently updated the driver for them four times already, while for models based on the RDNA2 architecture (that is, the Radeon RX 6000) and older, not a single driver has been released.
In general, the company adheres to the strategy of releasing a unified Adrenaline driver for all models of its video cards (at least for those based on the RDNA3 and RDNA2 architectures), and Frank Azor once again confirmed this. But only recently the implementation of this strategy has stalled.
