    Skycool Systems has working prototype using radiative cooling. It doesn't produce electricity, but reduce existing load by dumping waste heat into space instead of the air around the AC exchanger. http://www.r744.com/articles/9334/tapping_into_the_cold_of_outer_space

    Intel Demos DG1 GPU at CES

    Technically i740 is discrete, but the industry was different back then. I remember having a few i740 cards for sale along with 3dfx voodoo and the first nvidia boards while working at CompUSA. The term "discrete" wasn't used then, it was just onboard graphics and graphics card. Zero...

    The Witcher | Official Teaser | Netflix

    I haven't played the games, my but my brother has. Fell asleep in scenes in the 1st episode but slogged through since he wanted to watch it. Got into the story by episode 4. There are some flashback sort of recap scenes later episodes so I don't think I missed anything major in episodes 1 and...

    [Linus Tech Tips'] Response to YouTube's Shenanigans - Floatplane is Finally Here!

    It's a safety net / alternative monetization platform for full time streamers. How would you feel if some unknown yahoo filed a frivolous copyright claim on your channel that halted your only source of income for a month, or completely terminated it? There was a whole blow up with Verge vs...

    Another Intel vulnerability!

    Reading the article it's a high hanging fruit attack vector. Who knows, state actors may have been using this for years. Also appears the Intel server chipset feature (DDIO) that enables this attack can be disabled. Still, that unknowing factor of the next Intel security "feature" lurking...

    New Issues with Previously-Stable 2500k

    My strange experience with previously stable: I had to drop my 2500k to 2 cores to get stable at stock and overclocked speeds after becoming unstable running at 4.5ghz for years. Tested under windows and linux. I've since swapped it with a 3570k last year.

    Florida Introduces "Stop Social Media Censorship Act"

    ^^^ Pretty much this. I'm not sure if this politician be trolling or seriously thinks it would work. In either case it's a waste every ones time cause we're all here discussing it.....

    Toyota Has a Curious Justification for Not Selling Any EVs

    Meh. There's easily room in the auto industry for both electric and hybrid for probably the next 10 years. Toyota is aiming squarely at second mover advantage. Until the battery tech and infrastructure gets mature, they may as well bide their time on hybrids which they have aptly demonstrated...

    Doom: Annihilation Gets a Trailer

    ^^^ This. With the bright lighting I thought it was trailer for a fan made movie. Needs less action and far more creepy horror feel.

    Careless Employees Expose Sensitive Data as Public on the Cloud

    Uhmmm I think you totally missed the point of the article. In many cases these are the businesses own files. They are just over sharing them to the world wide internet because they don't understand how file sharing implementation and security works. This is the lowest hanging fruit for data...

    Highlights of the Microsoft HoloLens 2 Presentation at Mobile World Conference

    I doubt there will be zero monitors, just like paper in the "paperless office", there will be some but less needed to get a job / task done faster and efficiently.

    Huawei Announces the $2,600 Foldable Mate X Smartphone: It Folds Outwards!

    Meh, it's a glimpse 4 years into the future. As in maybe by then the price and tech will be ready for common consumers by then.

    Japanese Government Will Hack Their Citizen's IoT Devices

    This is overall a good thing, except I wish it was the Chinese government since much of the super cheap IoT devices are coming from manufactures there. Of course of the flip side the Chinese government may not want to encourage security and privacy in their surveillance state.

    Police are Using Drones in 911 Calls

    APB https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5542294/ I watched the whole series via DVR, it showed a reasonable stretch of existing and near future tech but hard sell to general audiences. The tech gimmick of the week kinda got annoying when things "conveniently" went wrong or right.
