A new ultra-fast magnetic levitation train, capable of reaching speeds up to 600 km/h, has moved a step closer to reality in China. On Thursday, the completion of the prototype assembly for the magnetic levitation vehicle was announced at a facility in Qingdao, a port city in Shandong province in eastern China. Created by the state-owned China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC), the largest in the world […]
The corrective release of the Linux kernel 5.1.5 fixed a problem in the DM (Device Mapper) subsystem that could lead to data corruption on SSD drives. The problem emerged after a change was added to the kernel in January this year, affecting only the 5.1 branch and predominantly manifesting on systems with Samsung SSDs that use data encryption with […]
Hello, %username%. While you’re tinkering with your device, we continue our discussion on beer, which we’ve partially covered here, a bit more here, but we’re still not stopping! I’m endlessly glad that I decided to stretch this into a series of articles because from the comments, I realized that many questions, which seemed minor at the very beginning, need to be […]
With the release of the new Ryzen 3000 processors built on the Zen 2 microarchitecture, AMD plans to conduct a comprehensive upgrade of its ecosystem. Although the new CPUs will maintain compatibility with the Socket AM4 socket, developers plan to introduce PCI Express 4.0, which will now be supported universally: not just by the processors, but also by the chipset. In other words, after the release […]
Under the cut is a short verse about why I'm increasingly annoyed by computers and a sedentary lifestyle. Who is flying off into the world of games? Who has to quietly wait, leaning against plush pillows? To love, to hope, to dream That our real world will return To whose virtual world through the window? And will a night peach break through the net of illusions into the man’s home? So […]
The source texts of VictoriaMetrics have been opened — a fast and scalable DBMS for storing and processing data in the form of time series (a record forms time and a set of corresponding values for that time, for example, obtained through periodic sensor state polling or metric collection). The project competes with solutions such as InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, Thanos, Cortex, and Uber M3. The code is written in Go […]
The OpenSSL upgrade to version 1.1.1b in the openSUSE Tumbleweed repository led to functionality issues for some applications related to libopenssl that utilize Russian or Ukrainian locales. The problem arose after a change was made to the error message buffer handler (SYS_str_reasons) in OpenSSL. The buffer was set at 4 kilobytes, which turned out to be insufficient for some Unicode locales. The output of strerror_r, used for […]
Galaxy Microsystems has unveiled two new versions of the GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card in China, distinguished by their unusual blue color. One of the new models is called the GeForce RTX 2070 Mini, which is quite compact, while the other is named the GeForce RTX 2070 Metal Master (a literal translation from Chinese) and is a full-size model. Interestingly, Galax has previously […]
Photonics integrated circuits or optical chips potentially offer numerous advantages over their electronic counterparts, such as reduced power consumption and lower latency in computations. This is why many researchers believe they could be extremely effective in machine learning tasks and artificial intelligence (AI) development. Intel also sees significant potential for the application of silicon photonics in […]
An experimental release of the open implementation of the Win32 API — Wine 4.9 — is now available. Since the release of version 4.8, 24 bug reports have been closed and 362 changes have been made. Key changes include: Initial support for installing Plug and Play drivers; The ability to build 16-bit modules in PE format; Various functions have been moved to a new DLL called KernelBase; Several fixes have been made related to […]
Mozilla developers have decided to disable the handling of userContent.css and userChrome.css files by default, which allow users to override the styling of websites or the Firefox interface. The reason for this default disabling is to reduce the browser's startup time. Modifying behavior through userContent.css and userChrome.css is extremely rare among users, and loading these CSS files consumes additional resources (optimization eliminates unnecessary access to […]
Microsoft continues to release fresh updates for Edge on the Dev and Canary channels. The latest patch includes minor changes, including a fix for an issue that could lead to high CPU usage during browser idle time, along with a few other improvements. The most significant enhancement in Canary 76.0.168.0 and Dev Build 76.0.167.0 is the built-in translator, which will allow users to read text from any website […]
