3D printing with metals has been developed with a resolution of 250 nm

The use of 3D printing is no longer surprising to anyone. Objects can be printed at home and at work using both metal and plastic. The only thing left is to reduce the nozzle resolution and increase the variety of source materials. There is still a lot of work to be done in each of these areas. Researchers led by […] have reported another achievement in 3D printing enhancement.

Five issues in the operation and support processes of Highload IT systems

Hello, Habr! For ten years I have been supporting Highload IT systems. I won’t write in this article about the issues of configuring nginx for operation at 1000+ RPS or other technical matters. I will share my observations on the problems in the processes that arise in the support and operation of such systems. Monitoring Technical Support does not wait for a request that says 'Why… […]

Two new versions of the Yandex.Station smart speaker will be released.

The Unified Register of Notifications about the characteristics of cryptographic means and goods containing them at the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) has information about two new smart speakers from Yandex. Recall that the first 'smart' column, the 'Yandex.Station', was presented by the Russian IT giant at the end of May last year. The device uses the intelligent voice assistant Alice.

How does the translation of the term trunk depend on the switch vendor?

I noticed this error (or, if you prefer, discrepancy) while checking the translation for NETGEAR switches. The fact is that when translating the term 'trunk', one must necessarily consider which vendor's interpretation is being adhered to — Cisco or HP, as there is a significant technical difference between them. Let's sort this out. We will consider the problem using the following examples: 1. Cisco 2. HP Careful […]
