Earlier, we discussed smart TV and upscaling, streaming, music hardware, and even the Hamming effect. Today we will continue to share selected materials of our “Hi-Fi World”. The struggle for rights or the atmosphere of paranoia — in the world of music is still undecided. Performers, studios, and copyright holders are also suing during the epidemiological crisis.

Ten years ago, at the headquarters of research in Motion (RIM), located in Waterloo Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada, was bustling with activity. The offices were filled with employees, and the lights in the Windows didn’t go out until midnight, showing passing drivers the silhouettes of busy people. Today it’s a Ghost office. And let the lights still be on at the entrance, no one passes through the turnstiles, no one crowds into Smoking rooms […]

The past week has been eventful. Let’s start with three vulnerabilities in Apple’s mobile OS that were supposedly exploited in real attacks. In a brief message from Apple, two vulnerabilities are attributed to the WebKit engine — they allow arbitrary code execution. Another hole in the core of iOS and iPadOS allows you to increase privileges. All three vulnerabilities were closed in the January 26 OS update 14.4. Apple reports […]

In addition to ray tracing and AI-based DLSS 2.0 anti-aliasing, modern video games (in particular, Fortnite) also support NVIDIA Reflex technology, which is designed to reduce the system delay that occurs between pressing a button and displaying an action on the screen (for example: you pressed the mouse button — a shot was fired). Measuring the “input delay” is not easy, so NVIDIA Reflex uses a set of software and […]

By the way, the company initially stated that its processors […]

At one time, I had to work a lot with logs. They could be large and located on different servers. It was not necessary to find something specific, but to understand why the system does not behave as it should. For some reason, there was no log aggregator. I wanted to have a log viewer that allows you to open any file at any time, without downloading it to the […]

The topic is dedicated to neural network technologies. Previously, this topic was published for the Institute, in order to gain the first scientific research experience, and in my opinion, this is one of the most relevant topics along with the quantum network, that is, these technologies will radically change the scope of application and data processing in both situational and predictable situations. The peculiarity of using neural network technologies is […]

The problem Barcodes are great for marking everything from products to people. Now there are about two dozen standards for two-dimensional barcodes in use, and dozens more unsuccessful, tragically misunderstood, self-made and internal corporate options, most of which miserably lose to the usual QR code. Its prevalence and ease of implementation have made it the most popular among two-dimensional barcodes, but it also has a drawback common to all linear […]

The language settings in the game fly […]
