A project to pasta time away

Everybody loves pasta. It’s a cheap source of calories, it’s easy to cook, and it comes in lots of cute shapes like bow ties. It’s so great that, perhaps a little unfairly, it’s become a little pigeonholed as just being a food....https://www.xduster.com/look-this-pc-made-out-of-pasta/

The latest Windows update released on April 9 seems to have broken multiple antivirus programs, including Avast, Avira, ArcaBit, McAfee, and Sophos. The last major Windows update broke some systems with particular antivirus software installed, and it’s seemingly getting worse....https://www.xduster.com/the-latest-windows-update-breaks-many-antivirus-programs-installed/

Grand Theft Auto V has been released a long time ago now, and nothing has been said about a new entry in the series.

Vanity upon Vanity!

Nigerians can really tell both Sweet and painful Memory/Ordeals that they got from trying or acquiring a Blackberry phone. In those days of BBM pin, which was a class of the town, of which, if one is not in it then the person has no class at all.

Grasp your old BlackBerries dear, on the grounds that the purchaser form of BBM is authoritatively kicking the bucket toward the finish of May.https://www.xduster.com/goodbye-to-bbm-as-blackberry-messenger-is-shutting-down-on-may-31st/

Mr Oga, stop complaining. Go and continue folding that your Nokia symbian and leave us to support progress.

HAHAHAHA... I laff ooo

Would you pay $3,200 ( N1,152,000.00 price est.) for one?

While various organizations are grasping the possibility of a foldable phone, we haven’t heard much from Apple about any plans it might need to get on board with the temporary fad. In any case, Russian producer Caviar has thought of a concept structure for an adaptable iPhone that is not normal for some other bendable we’ve seen up until this point...https://www.xduster.com/look-at-this-iphone-z-folding-phone-concept-video/

Massive 5120 x 1440 Super-Ultra Wide Display

We’re not sure if super-ultrawide is the official term for these sorts of displays, but they’re wider than a standard ultrawide so we feel it kinda works well here. Maybe double-wide is more appropriate? In any case, Dell’s latest ultrawide monitor, the UltraSharp U4919DW is very wide and pretty massive overall...https://www.xduster.com/dell-ultrasharp-u4919dw-monitor-review/

Experience Notre Dame in-game at no cost

One of France’s most popular national monuments, the Notre Dame Cathedral, was struck by tragedy this week when a massive fire erupted along the building’s roof.

WHAT!

Look closely at the picture above, and you can see a small bulge right on the crease of my Galaxy Fold review unit. It’s just enough to slightly distort the screen, and I can feel it under my finger. There’s something pressing up against the screen at the hinge, right there in the crease. My best guess is that it’s a piece of debris, something harder than lint for sure. It’s possible that it’s something else, though, like the hinge itself on a defective unit pressing up on the screen...https://www.xduster.com/my-samsung-galaxy-fold-screen-broke-after-just-a-day/

Can you live without a disc drive?
Rumors that Microsoft has been working on a disc-less Xbox One S console have been circulating quite a bit lately, and photos of the machine were leaked mere days ago.

Intel readying Xeon Gold U-series to combat Epyc P-series

The new CPUs would cost roughly half of Xeon Platinum
A report from ServeTheHome claims Intel has the Xeon Gold U-series of CPUs up its sleeve to hold AMD’s Epyc at bay. If true, this is likely a direct response to AMD’s aggressive price/performance ratio with the Epyc P-series in the single socket server market. This is what competition looks like...https://www.xduster.com/intel-readying-xeon-gold-u-series-to-combat-epyc-p-series/

Windows updates are up to their old tricks. Users on various forums are reporting issues after installing the April 2019 cumulative updates and Windows 7 users appear to be especially affected. Additionally, the updates are conflicting with certain antivirus software like Avast and Avira. This update is another in what’s becoming a string of botched updates from Microsoft, going back to October of last year.https://www.xduster.com/windows-updates-are-at-it-again-reportedly-hanging-and-slowing-down-systems/

Intel demos the 400G, a 400Gbps transceiver for the datacenter

Intel has touted the benefits of silicon photonics (mixing optical and electrical parts) for over a decade, and for good reason. It’s intuitive that a signal based on light would move faster, operate a higher density and require less power, but obviously it’s hard to sustain a signal as delicate as light. However, after reaching one million 100G optical transceivers sold per year, Intel is finally dialing up production and preparing to launch the 400G.https://www.xduster.com/intel-demos-the-400g-a-400gbps-transceiver-for-the-datacenter/

Eight radio telescopes trained at the center of the Messier 87 galaxy each recorded 350TB of data per day for one week.

Along with an updated Helios 300

Acer just announced its latest gaming laptop, the Predator Helios 700. It looks like a larger version of the company’s Predator Helios 300 model, with an updated design.

As you know, Gainward was acquired by Palit Microsystems back in 2005. Since then, the design of both brands more or less identical.

Nvidia is expected to launch its smallest GPU based on the Turing architecture, the GTX 1650, on April 22.

AMD today announced its new Ryzen Pro Mobile series of chips designed for thin-and-light notebooks for the business and commercial markets.

Samsung’s Galaxy S10 fingerprint sensor fooled by 3D printed fingerprint

In recent years, smartphone manufacturers have been implementing advanced features for users to secure their devices, using fingerprint readers, face mapping, and even sensors that map out the blood veins in the palm of your hand. But there are still ways to get around such measures, and one user found that he could fool the in-display fingerprint reader on his Samsung Galaxy S10 with a 3D print of his fingerprint...https://www.xduster.com/samsungs-galaxy-s10-fingerprint-sensor-fooled-by-3d-printed-fingerprint/

Another unreleased processor from AMD has found its way to the Internet courtesy of SiSoftware’s Official Live Ranker.

The desktop CPU in question, identified as 2DS104BBM4GH2_38/34_N, is said to be an engineering sample sporting a base frequency of 3.4GHz and a boost frequency of 3.8GHz.

Microsoft’s Surface lineup was created to bring a spark of innovation into the PC industry at a time where much of the competition was slow to change, and slow to adopt new form factors and new technologies.

Intel’s Enterprise Extravaganza 2019: The launching of Cascade Lake, Optane DCPMM, Agilex FPGAs, 100G Ethernet, and Xeon D-1600

Today is the big day in 2019 for Intel’s Enterprise product announcements, combining some products that should be available from today and a few others set to be available in the next few months.

Intel Agilex: 10nm FPGAs with PCIe 5.0, DDR5 and CXL
