Soyuz launch 6 june

Hardware blogger YuuKi_AnS (opens in new tab) has published a picture of AMD's 96-core EPYC 9000-series processor marked with an actual model number rather than an 'engineering sample' label. The image may indicate that AMD has begun shipping at least some of its next-generation EPYC processors codenamed Genoa to partners, which means that their formal launch is looming. The processor in question is AMD's EPYC 9654, featuring 96 cores, based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture , and carrying 384MB of L3 cache, as some previous leaks indicate (albeit they cover the model 9654P). But the key thing about the picture is that the CPU on its SP5 carrier frame sits on a tray pallet. Vendors usually utilize tray pallets to ship chips in volumes. By contrast, engineering samples arrive in special boxes, yet the case of EPYCs is still on a carrier frame. AMD yet has to confirm that it had initiated commercial shipments of its EPYC 9000-series processors with Zen 4 cores to partners, … [Read more...] about AMD’s EPYC 9654 96-Core Genoa CPU Pictured as Launch Is Looming

Meta has announced it will be testing default end-to-end encryption on Facebook Messenger . The social media company said in a press release on Thursday that testing has already begun “between some people” earlier this week, and that it will be working to make the privacy feature default for all messages and calls in 2023. If you’re part of the test group, your frequent chats will be automatically end-to-end encrypted, thereby rendering end-to-end encryption non-optional. This means that any conversation between you and a friend or family member can’t be accessed by Meta or anyone else. The only way Meta will see your messages is if you report them to the company if they threaten your safety in any way. Meta is also testing out secure storage on Android and iOS. This feature helps you back up your encrypted chats in the event your phone gets lost, or you want to restore your message history on a new device that supports end-to-end encryption. These encrypted backups can be … [Read more...] about Facebook Messenger finally tests default end-to-end encryption | Digital Trends

Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go , has announced Peridot , a new AR pet simulator that revolves around raising, caring for, and breeding the titular creatures. It’s the company’s first original AR game since 2014’s Ingress , and it’s practically a combination of Neopets and Tamagotchi — which many of us grew up carrying around in the early aughts. In the game, Peridots (or Dots, for short) wake up to a world that is vastly different from their own after sleeping for thousands of years and need the player’s help to save them from the edge of extinction. Much like Pokemon Go , Peridot encourages players to step outside their comfort zone and explore the world with their cute, mystical pets and learn more about them as they experience life from birth to adulthood. Peridot | Official Announcement Teaser Dots grow through each life stage and gain experience points when you pet them, play with them, and train them. They also grow when you fulfill their every … [Read more...] about Pokemon Go developer introduces AR pet game Peridot | Digital Trends

Few streaming services have worked as hard as Netflix has in recent years to launch a true blockbuster. The Gray Man has been a tremendous success for the service, at least according to their own internal metrics, but it’s hardly the first time that they’ve attempted to launch a piece of original intellectual property by throwing massive amounts of money at it. In spite of all that money, though, Netflix has yet to produce the kind of brilliant action spectacle that makes for a truly great movie. Contents Netflix needs to take a prestige approach to its blockbusters Netflix has no incentive to change its ways Streaming won’t save the action movie That doesn’t mean, though, that Netflix has never made a great movie. Plenty of their prestige, awards-season plays have totally panned out, and movies like The Power of the Dog and Marriage Story have proven that the streamer can get behind great movies. In the world of action, though, their movies have been … [Read more...] about Why has Netflix never made a great action movie? | Digital Trends
