There is increasing concern over the climate change impact of games consoles. There is, however, little research on the life cycle carbon impact of consoles and existing research (the majority of which is focused on usage) is outdated. This study uses life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to compare the climate change impact of different console-based gaming methods (i.e. games played from a disc, a down-loaded file, or streamed from the cloud). Console usage and Internet usage were identified as life cycle stages where data were unknown or uncertain. Two studies to improve the understanding of these areas were undertaken in this research and used to complete a cradle-to-grave carbon footprint study of gaming (compared using a functional unit of carbon equivalent emissions per hour of gameplay). Results estimated that, for average cases, download is the lowest carbon method of gaming at 0.047 kgCO2e/h, followed by disc at 0.055 kgCO2e/h. Cloud gaming has higher estimated carbon emissions at 0.149 kgCO2e/h, largely due to the additional energy consumed during use in the Internet, gaming servers, and home router equip-ment. These findings only represent average cases and the size of game files and length of gameplay time were found to be key variables significantly impacting the results. For example, for games played for under 8 hours, cloud gaming was found to have lower carbon emissions than downloads (up to 24 hours when compared to disc). In order to analyse these results, a new method for identifying which gaming method has the lowest carbon emissions with variation in both file size and gameplay time was developed. This has allowed for the identification of the thresholds in which different gaming methods have lowest carbon emissions, for any given range of input variables. The carbon emissions of gaming are highly dependent on consumer behav-iour (which game method is used, how long games are played for, and the type and size of those games) and therefore LCA based on average assumptions for these variables has limited application.

The company’s pledge to conserve water at its data centers doesn’t account for the thirsty power plants that keep them running.

HTTP compression is a mechanism that allows a web server to deliver text based content using less bytes, and it’s been supported on the web for a very long time. In fact the first web browser to support gzip compression was NCSA Mosaic v2.1 way back in 1993! The web has obviously come a long way since then, but today pretty much every web server and browser still supports gzip compression.

It likely comes as no surprise that third party content can be a significant contributor to slow loading websites and poor user experience. As performance engineers, we often need to find ways to balance requirements for their features with the strain that they can put on user experience. Unfortunately, for many sites this becomes a reaction to slowdowns and failures detected in production.

Font performance optimization is a set of web development techniques that make fonts load faster and render more smoothly, including thoughtful font selection, the use of performant font formats, self-hosting, optimized @font-face declarations, font display strategies, and others.

Automated testing tools for accessibility are software applications that evaluate websites, applications, and documents for compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). They identify and report on accessibility issues that could make digital content unusable for people with disabilities. Automated testing tools can bring efficiency to the testing process.

I really, really, REALLY hate accessibility audits. Okay, maybe I should clarify. I really really REALLY hate getting generic accessibility audit reports that companies pay a lot of money for but don’t produce useful results. Maybe I should explain. So when my place of employment (at the time of this writing) was asking, “hey some customer asked for a thing called a VPAT, do you know what that is?” I was really interested at the opportunity to weigh in. Okay, so I’ve ended up doing the audits for our public accessibility conformance reports(ACRs); while it’s not as satisfying as writing new linting rules, strategizing about Continuous Accessibility, or crafting new design system components that are accessible and have great documentation, it has been satisfying because I’ve been able to undo some of the irritations I’ve experienced in the past.
