Of the important, it is worth highlighting the fall in prices for RAM and SSD, the launch of 5G in the USA and South Korea, as well as an early test of fifth-generation networks in the Russian Federation, hacking the Tesla protection system, Falcon Heavy as a lunar transport and the emergence of the Russian Elbrus OS in general access.
5G in Russia and the world
Fifth generation networks are gradually beginning to appear in different countries, moving from the stage of preparation to the stage of full-fledged work. , where 5G has been launched nationally. And although only owners of the Samsung Galaxy S10, equipped with a full-fledged 5G communication module, can connect to this network so far, other devices from other manufacturers will soon appear on the market.
In Russia, operators only . Unfortunately, the Ministry of Defense is not yet ready to transfer frequencies to cellular operators in the main operating range of 3,4-3,8 GHz.
In the US, 5G is being launched in test mode, a new type of connection will be available for now . The launch was carried out by AT&T. Network bandwidth - up to 1 Gb / s.
Hackers managed to force "Tesla" to go into the oncoming lane
Researchers from Tencent Keen Security Lab managed to hack the firmware of the Tesla Model S 75. The hack consisted of intercepting steering wheel control, as a result of which the autopilot was forced to enter the oncoming lane. This is done thanks to an attack on machine vision. Tesla uses neural networks in machine vision systems, so the technique worked and the electric car obeyed the burglars. Now there is a patch .
Flying to the Moon on a Falcon Heavy
As President Trump's administration insists that NASA move more actively on the important goal of going to the moon, the agency . On Monday, NASA chief Jim Bridenstine said that if the SLS could not be completed by the 2024 deadline, it would be possible to fly to the moon using a heavy Falcon rocket with an Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage system built by United Launch Alliance.
Cellular communication switches to domestic encryption
Despite the fact that a complete ban on foreign cryptography has not yet been banned in Runet, for cellular communications the corresponding . From December 1 this year, two orders of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications (No. 275 and No. 319) come into force.

Russian OS "Elbrus" made available to the public
Domestic development, Russian . It is available on the website of the company that created this OS. Here you can download a distribution kit that is compatible with both the processors of the same name and the x86 architecture. Now the third version of the Elbrus OS is available, the fourth version with the 4.9 kernel is on the way. She should be on the list soon.
Prices for RAM and SSD started to fall
Overproduction and reduced demand provoked . The negative dynamics of prices manifested itself for the first time in five years - until now, prices have only increased. The cost of DRAM has already fallen to the lowest level in the last three years and the decline continues.
