We haven't heard much about the Bloomberg report on alleged Supermicro spy chips from a year ago, but Wired have an article showing how it could be done - but not that it was. The NSA dismissed it as a false alarm. The Defcon hacker conference awarded it two Pwnie Awards, for "most overhyped bug" and "most epic fail." And no follow-up reporting has yet affirmed its central premise. But even as the facts of that story remain unconfirmed, the security community has warned that the possibility of the supply chain attacks it describes is all too real.
PCWorld report on some big 'n fast memory kits. On Thursday, Corsair became the first memory vendor to commercially ship DDR4 RAM that can break the 5GHz barrier on Ryzen 3000-based systems. The company’s 16GB Vengeance LPX kit, a pair of 8GB modules, are based on Micron dies and can hit 5GHz with a CAS Latency timing of 18 at 1.5 volts.
TechSpot have a shootout between the AMD Radeon RX 5700 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super. Today we've got a massive 41 game benchmark comparing the GeForce RTX 2060 Super and Radeon RX 5700 head to head. This big comparison includes new titles such as Borderlands 3, Gears 5 and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint. All the results are brand new and were gathered during the last week using the latest display drivers as well as the latest game versions.
Phi was very excited to discover some black Noctua coolers, and thought you all should know. Noctua today introduced the long awaited all-black versions of its award-winning NH-D15, NH-U12S and NH-L9i CPU coolers. Staying true to the successful formula of the original models, the new chromax.black versions with their black fans and black coated heatsinks combine the same signature quiet cooling performance with a sleek stealth look.
With the passing of Alexei Leonov recently, the first human to spacewalk, it seems appropriate that TechSpot have an article on the new high-tech space race. Quite a good recap of the space race so far, as well. But now there is a new race -- not of countries, but one fought by companies. Capitalism, growth, and business opportunities are the new fuels, and the goals are even bigger: not just back to the Moon, but on to Mars and beyond.
New firmware for the Raspberry Pi 4 lets you overclock it. If you're interested in overclocking your Raspberry Pi 4, you'll need to get comfortable with the Linux command line and have an SD card with the latest version of Raspbian Buster which, as of this publication, is the build released on September 26, 2019. It's free to download from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and installation is as simple as plugging an SD card into your PC and flashing the Raspbian image using an image writer like Etcher.
I stumbled across this interesting video on the transhumanism movement, where hobbyists and hackers modify their own bodies with technology. It’s been argued that humans are no longer evolving, but now a growing number of people are integrating technology directly into their bodies.
