Gamers Nexus alleges LMG has insufficient ethics and integrity
HalGameGuru replied to osgalaxy's topic in General Discussion
Keanu Reeves isn't just an actor. What he is doing, and building, reaches far beyond just standing in front of a camera. I do not know if his load is LTT levels, but its not hollywood actor average. The only people I could point to growing exponentially while famous enough for me to know about it are Musk or Trump. -

Since Ku band spectrum is used in defense radars I don't think it will have much trouble with weather. I need to do some checking up but I'm not sure any of the air to ground frequencies starlink is using will suffer too much from anything but the most severe weather Ka band is used more for police radar and some of them have been known to have issues in rain, but I am not sure if those were specifically Ka band radars that had that issue

"Unfixable" Security flaw found in Intel CPUs
HalGameGuru replied to HalGameGuru's topic in Tech News
My main concern with this flaw was the supply chain angle. being alone in the room with such a machine at any point in its life compromises it for the rest of its life. thru all the different clients and locations it services -

"Unfixable" Security flaw found in Intel CPUs
HalGameGuru replied to HalGameGuru's topic in Tech News
I have multiple sources already, the verge is a few rungs lower than whats already linked, in my mind. The release from the security researchers themselves is the big one to read. https://www.ptsecurity.com/ww-en/about/news/unfixable-vulnerability-in-intel-chipsets-threatens-users-and-content-rightsholders/ -
Security specialists at Positive Technologies claim to have found an unfixable security flaw in Intel CPUs. Specifically in the Converged Security and Management Engine (CSME). They claim that while it is difficult to exploit it is a vulnerability that cannot be patched and can lead to the execution of malicious code and commandeering of the entire PC. The CSME is the built in "hypervisor" on Intel CPUs that initializes the boot up process for the chip as a whole. They claim that the vulnerability is baked into the silicon itself and cannot be patched away. And physical access to the device could result in backdoors that are undetectable and pervasive. Intel believes they have fixed any vulnerabilities that do not require physical access to the machine, but that only maintaining physical security can protect against this vulnerability. This is much harder to exploit than earlier security flaws but could result in compromised security that the end user is never aware of and could even allow access to encrypted data. They claim the latest 10th gen no longer has this problem but time and continued research will tell.

Rice University discovers cheap & scalable Graphene production method
HalGameGuru replied to HalGameGuru's topic in Tech News
Nobody is making massive sheets, and the other processes require harsh solvents and furnaces. And the point here is having graphene available at a fraction of the price for all the uses of it, from concrete to meta-materials- 55 replies

Rice University discovers cheap & scalable Graphene production method
HalGameGuru replied to HalGameGuru's topic in Tech News
The key to scalability here is the actual process, the "flash". Even if scalability requires parallel processing rather than larger chambers it could be easily automated and scaled up. I actually had an idea for an automated coal conversion process. You grind coal into coal dust, feed it into tablet presses, feed the tablets into a hopper, tablets go into a revolver style cylinder, the cylinder rotates between the feeder and the electrodes, flash, as the cylinder keeps turning the graphene and gasses are forced out of the chamber with compressed air, cylinder keeps turning to accept another tablet. You could have a dozen chambers in this cylinder to allow time for the heat and gasses to dissipate. it doesn't take long. The interesting thing is that depending on what you are flashing most of the gasses given off are going to be pretty simple, things like water vapor and hydrogen. They talk about capturing the gasses as some raw materials produce a lot of pure nitrogen or oxygen.- 55 replies

This method as in the OP or the later comment? Why would anyone in the market pass up the ability to produce graphene for pennies on the dollar compared to old tech?- 55 replies

If you read the papers they show if you use something carbon rich like coal the purity can be better than 99%, its turbostratic, meaning its easy to separate without solvents, and its showing some of the lowest defect concentrations of any method so far found. And the scalability doesn't necessarily have to revolve around larger batches but parallel processing and automation. Not JUST scalable in production but in separation and processing.- 55 replies
