Google has resumed the distribution of updates for its browser on the Android platform. Now users can install Chrome 79 without fearing that it will affect the performance of other applications. Recall that the update distribution for the browser started a few days ago, but was halted due to emerging issues. Developers took this step after numerous complaints from users who reported that […]
A record in the SiSoftware performance test database reveals the testing of a server or workstation built on two mysterious six-core Intel processors. These processors are particularly interesting because they feature a rather unusual amount of second-level cache memory — 1.25 MB per core. This is five times more compared to the 256 KB L2 cache […]
Translator's note: This practical note from the creator of LayerCI is an excellent illustration of the so-called tips & tricks for Kubernetes (and beyond). The solution proposed here is just one of the few and, perhaps, not the most obvious (for certain cases, the already mentioned 'native' kubectl port-forward for K8s may suffice). However, it at least allows us to look at […]
Do you remember the last time you communicated with technical support? And whether it was a pleasant experience? Neither do I. That's why, in the early days of my first job, I often had to remind myself that my work is important and helpful. At that time, I had just joined support. I want to share my journey in choosing this profession and the conclusions I've drawn […]
Greetings, Habr readers! In this article, I want to share my experience as a programming teacher for C++ at a technical university college. It was a unique experience in my life that taught me a lot. When it comes to interesting facts from my personal past, this episode stands out as one of the first that comes to mind. Let's get started. First, a little about […]
Google has released version 79 of its Chrome OS, which is based on the Linux kernel, the upstart system manager, the ebuild/portage build tool, open components, and the Chrome 79 web browser. The user environment of Chrome OS is limited to the web browser, and instead of standard applications, web applications are utilized. However, Chrome OS includes a fully functional multi-window interface, desktop, and taskbar. The Chrome build […]
Ahead of the official launch of the new Edge in January, Microsoft continues to enhance the browser's functionality, which the company plans to deploy forcefully to all users. One of the new features is support for custom QR codes, which can be used to send links to web pages to users. A similar feature has already been announced in Google Chrome, and currently, specialists in Redmond are testing it on the update channel […]
News often mentions the discrete Intel graphics processor, which is set to launch in late 2021, manufactured using 7nm technology, and will be included in the Ponte Vecchio compute accelerator. Meanwhile, the product with the plain designation DG1, which was reported to have samples available this year by the head of […], should be considered the pioneer of the "new era" in Intel's development of discrete graphics solutions.
Contents CCQ — what is it? Three main factors affecting CCQ quality. Fresnel zone — what is it? How to calculate the Fresnel zone? In this article, I want to discuss the fundamental factors in building a quality wireless bridge, as many 'network builders' believe that it is enough to buy quality networking equipment, install it, and get 100% return from it — which […]
Many hosting providers offer cheap virtual servers, and recently we've seen a surge in advertised plans with various restrictions (for example, the ability to order one such virtual server per account), with prices sometimes even below the cost of IP addresses. It became interesting to conduct a small test and share the results with the broader public. […]
In one of my previous articles, I presented the results of testing cheap virtual servers from various hosting providers in the Runet. Thank you to all the commentators and those who reached out via personal messages for your feedback. This time, I want to present the results of testing virtual servers from well-known and large companies: DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, and Hetzner. A total of 38 tests were conducted for all available locations. […]
Hello everyone. We are slowly stepping out of the shadows and continuing our series of articles about our product.

Today we will show TestMace in action, and you will be able to appreciate some of the features of our application. For a deeper understanding, I recommend checking our documentation at […]
