| 2024-08-26 |  | | es | UN GOLPE BAJO A LA OBSOLESCENCIA PROGRAMADA. Con una PC de escritorio del año 2010. Con procesador AMD de 4 núcleos a 3.1GHz y una pantalla HD 720p, todos los videos de YouTube me ponian el CPU al 100% y se trababa los videos en 720p, 1080p. Con esta extensión me salvó de tener que comprar una motherboard nueva o placa gráfica dedicada. A la que tengo ya le habia puesto SSD y mas RAM. Y aun asi laggeaba. Ojalá haya mas softwares así. |
