Game Streaming and Emissions, or Game vs. the environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The next generation of
\nvideo game consoles is hitting the shelves this holiday season. An epic
\nmarketing battle precedes its launch, with the PS5 and Xbox Series X fighting
\nto get a head start on each other by selling more consoles than the other.<\/p>\n

Yet, ironically, this new generation of consoles might be the
\nlast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like it happened in other industries, video games are moving
\naway from local hardware in favour of a distributed computing model. Why spent
\nmoney in a pricey box when you could stream higher-quality video games directly
\nto your TV or phone in real time?\u00a0<\/p>\n

With companies like Google and Microsoft having already released
\ntheir proprietary cloud gaming platforms, it’s just a matter of time before
\nmost gaming is done this way. But, as convenient as it sounds, this could have
\nsevere environmental implications. \u00a0<\/p>\n

A new report suggests emissions could rise as much as 30% in a future where game streaming was the norm.<\/p>\n

Low-code is coming to Teams<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Earlier this year,
\nMicrosoft announced it was building a low-code Dataflex solution for Teams that
\nwould allow users to easily develop custom applications without leaving Teams.
\nWe got more details this week.<\/p>\n

Code-named Project Oakdale, the platform will let teams create
\nquick applications based on shared databases. No need for third-party tools to
\nbuild an HTML or JavaScript feature that runs on Teams. Just install Project
\nOakdale and use an Access-like table and form creator to get the job done.<\/p>\n

Each team will get its dedicated data environment so that team
\nmembers can exchange actionable insights and access more relevant information.
\nThe applications will also be able to connect with the rest of Microsoft’s
\necosystem.<\/p>\n

Although it has its limitations, Project Oakdale will be included in the Teams subscription — a big step towards democratising low-code development within the enterprise.<\/p>\n
