Scientists invent floating 'firefly' light

Source 1: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-lights-floating/japanese-scientists-invent-floating-firefly-light-idUSKCN1G7132

 

• Japanese researchers have created a tiny electronic light the size of a firefly that rides waves of ultrasound, and could eventually figure in applications ranging from moving displays to projection mapping.

• weighs 16.2 mg, has a diameter of 3.5 mm (0.14 inch), and emits a red glimmer that can illuminate text.

• has 285 micro-speakers that emit ultrasonic waves that hold it up, and have a frequency inaudible to the human ear, allowing it to operate in silence.

“Ultimately, my hope is that such tiny objects will have smartphone capabilities and be built to float about helping us in our everyday lives in smarter ways,” said the University of Tokyo professor who hopes it will be commercially viable in five to 10 years.

Why is it you remember something as relatively miniscule as IDE to SATA, but not the Pentium 4/D to Core 2 Duo?

I did consider it it was like linus was saying with the athalons going to dual core. good point tbh idk

The Core 2 Duos are honestly still fast enough to be reasonably usable today (in basic tasks), if a bit power hungry. Pentium Ds, not so much.

 

That isn't to say I discount SATA entirely btw. At least until SSDs became a thing, the biggest benefit I found of SATA was the much improved cables. So much nicer to work with that there is no comparison. No more master/slave, or fiddling with jumpers. And hot swappable. Outside of that however, most consumer HDDs (besides maybe Velociraptors) were not really able to saturate SATA 1 enough to realize it's benefits.
