Hi Charlotte! Tell us three fun facts about yourself.

Hi! Hmm, let’s see...

  1. I’m an ambassador for both SpecialEffect and Safe in Our World charities.

  2. I have a little sausage dog called Loki and a cat called Charlie.

  3. I work for SEGA!

When did your streaming journey begin, and what inspired you to start?

I started really casually streaming a few years ago, picked it up a little more seriously in the last year when we started doing streams at work. My charity work is really what kicked it all off even more, since it gives me a good platform to talk about all of the work we get to do! One of the best things is being able to speak so openly and honestly about mental health and things that mean a lot to me, but also have a lovely receptive and sweet community that are always there for each other too.

What's your favourite game/content to stream/share? What do you enjoy most about it?

My absolute favourite thing to play at the moment is Sea of Thieves! I get to play with some of my closest friends and relax while sailing about on the seas singing shanties. It gives me a chance to be able to engage with chat a little better since I can pay attention to them more!

Do you feel like there is a stigma for women streamers in the industry?

I do, yeah. The most obvious one being that our successes are only because we are female, and not down to our content or things we do. The amount of work that goes into streaming and content creation in general is large, and for that to just be overlooked because of gender is really disheartening

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to women who want to begin streaming?

Don’t ever worry about numbers – turn off your viewers, it helps a lot with the pressure of thinking no one is watching you. For a time, sure, there will be no one but perseverance pays off!

Also don’t put up with any negative comments at all, even if it’s the only interaction you are getting. It’s not good for your mental health if you stream and are unhappy about it, but also if someone sees that negativity is “accepted” it will let more people think that it’s okay to do.

Where can people find you online?

You can find me streaming at twitch.tv/PixelChark or I live on Twitter (@PixelChark).

While many of us rely on graphics cards to enjoy the latest gaming titles or to upgrade our PCs, their intelligent technology makes them ideal for alternative uses. NVIDIA GPUs are programmable, meaning they can be used for a range of activities from gene sequencing and weather simulation to mining cryptocurrency. Passionate about gaming, NVIDIA strives to find ways to ensure their GPUs " end up in the hands of gamers ", so we can experience cutting-edge technologies such as RTX real-time ray tracing as they were meant to be. What is Lite Hash Rate? Following the announcement in February that NVIDIA were reducing the Ethereum hash rate in all of their GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards, they have now taken additional measures by applying a reduced hash rate to their new GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti ranges.

Encrypted Data Storage vs Traditional Data Storage

Image
If you run a business, you may have large amounts of important data and files that need to be kept secure and confidential. So what’s the best way to keep this data safe? You need secure storage devices! A recent survey conducted by iStorage Ltd, found that some businesses may be at risk, with two thirds of data being stored on unencrypted storage devices. iStorage Ltd is an award-winning company and trusted global leader in PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices. Their research into data security found that 99% of people consider data security to be a necessary practice, but only 5% are following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre on data storage and backup. Not storing and backing up data with secure methods is causing a vast majority of data, and the businesses storing this data, to become vulnerable. Because of this, it's important to let businesses know about the importance of using encrypted storage methods, over tradit...
