Microsoft will improve the quality of driver updates on Windows 10

Posted on

One of the long-standing issues with Windows 10 is the automatic updating of drivers, after which the system may display a 'blue screen', fail to boot, and so on. The cause often lies in incompatible drivers, so Microsoft often has to deal with the consequences, blocking the installation of the new version of Windows 10. Now, however, the course of action will change. According to an internal document, Microsoft will provide its partners, among […]

Fundamentals of zmq in Python, creating a simple key/value store

Posted on

A cryptographic hash function BLAKE3 is available, which is 10 times faster than SHA-2

Posted on

The final implementation of the BLAKE3 algorithm has been released, providing a cryptographic hash function designed for applications such as file integrity checks, message authentication, and generating data for digital signatures. BLAKE3 is not intended for password hashing (for passwords, yescrypt, bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2 should be used), as it aims for the fastest hash calculation with guaranteed absence of collisions and protection against pre-image attacks […]

In the article, he states that every decade there is a shift in the technological platform. In the 90s, it was the personal computer; in the 2000s, the internet; and in the 2010s, the smartphone. On […]

OpenWRT 19.07 Release

The ath79 architecture has been added, which supports devices that were previously classified under the ar71xx architecture. The difference is the use of Device Tree instead of explicitly specifying the characteristics of each device in C files. Routing performance has been significantly enhanced through the implementation of […]
