Another I/O is in the books! We worked in sandboxes, watched stunning product demonstrations, and listened to music created by artificial intelligence. Just for you, we have compiled a list of 100 announcements we made at I/O: Tech New phone! Our smartphones – Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL will be available later this week, featuring all the main perks from […]
Thanks to the recent update of the GeForce 10 and 16 series graphics card drivers, they can now perform ray tracing in games that support DXR. Based on our tests, on GeForce GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Ti (as well as any other NVIDIA models except GeForce RTX and older accelerators on Pascal chips), this feature primarily works in demonstration mode, […]
Recently, I conducted a comparative test of LTE routers, and it was not surprising to find that the performance and sensitivity of their radio modules vary significantly. When I connected an antenna to the routers, the speed increased exponentially. This inspired me to conduct a comparative test of antennas that can not only provide connectivity in a private home but also ensure it's at least on par with […]
Hello again! I have found another open database with medical data for you. I’d like to remind you that recently I published three articles on this topic: the leak of personal data of patients and doctors from the online medical service DOC+, the vulnerability of the 'Doctor Nearby' service, and the data leak from ambulance stations. This time, an open server has become available […]
It was only a matter of time before someone had sex in a car controlled by autopilot. Last week, Taylor Jackson, an adult film actress from Los Angeles, and her boyfriend may have been the first to embody this idea. They uploaded their video to Pornhub, where anyone could see how the couple performed various sexual acts in a moving […]
The meeting held a few days ago between Intel's management and investors was notable not only for announcing a restructuring strategy but also for unveiling plans to implement 10 nm and 7 nm technologies. At the same time, some key speakers made very interesting and even ambiguous statements on related topics. Among the standout speakers was […]
Welcome to lesson 11! If you remember, in lesson 7 we mentioned that Check Point has three types of Security Policy. These are: Access Control; Threat Prevention; Desktop Security. We have already covered most of the blades from the Access Control policy, whose main task is to control traffic or content. The Firewall, Application Control, URL Filtering, and Content […]
Recently, the specifications of AMD Ryzen 3000 series Matisse 7 nm processors have been actively discussed, which will soon offer Zen 2 architecture. Existing engineering samples, according to unofficial sources, are said to provide up to 16 cores and frequencies exceeding 4.0 GHz, with mention of a twelve-core processor with a higher frequency limit. When the Matisse processor sample was first demonstrated by Lisa Su […]
OpenBSD has added a sysupgrade utility designed for automatically upgrading the system to a new release or snapshot of the CURRENT branch. Sysupgrade downloads the necessary files for the update, verifies them using signify, copies bsd.rd (a special RAM disk that operates entirely in memory, used for installation, updating, and recovery of the system) to bsd.upgrade, and initiates a system reboot. The bootloader, upon detecting bsd.upgrade, begins […]
The release of DXVK 1.2 has been published, providing an implementation of DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure), Direct3D 10, and Direct3D 11, which operates through call translation to the Vulkan API. To use DXVK, drivers supporting the Vulkan API are required, such as AMD RADV 18.3, AMDGPU PRO 18.50, NVIDIA 415.22, Intel ANV 19.0, and AMDVLK. DXVK can be used to run 3D applications and […]
I want to share with you some of the non-fiction books I've read over the past few years. However, while compiling the list, an unexpected selection problem arose. The books, so to speak, are for a wide audience. They can be read quickly even by completely unprepared readers and can compete with fiction in terms of engaging storytelling. Books for more thoughtful reading, for which a bit of […] is needed for understanding.
The Wall Street Journal reported on a secret weapon developed in the U.S. aimed at eliminating terrorists without harming nearby civilians. According to WSJ sources, the new weapon has already proven its effectiveness in a number of operations in at least five countries. The R9X missile, also known as the 'ninja bomb' and 'flying Ginsu' (Ginsu is a brand of knives), is […]
