Do DTCs break time symmetry because of their local (in time) -based oscillations that are not atomic, but rather sub-atomic?
Why do we have a constant velocity along the time axis in this universe (under non-relativistic conditions)?
Maybe we oscillate between Big Bangs and Big Crunches over the billions off years... Oh yeah, there is no time before the Big Bang, which started the clock. Bah! I'll stick to crystals.
And don't even get me started on the completely out-of-nowhere ending.
Yeah. They could have built-up to the ending over a longer span of the game. But if you make a habit of listening to the radio, you'll get some of that build-up. Outsidee communications is cut off, but you'd think that NPCs would be talking about the latest news they heard (It's usually music).
PS –– IIRC, there are six distinct endings possible in FC6.
"automated communication", from the article quote, is a nonsense term. Communication is missives sent from a person to another person (or organization). Source(s) for statement(s) always trace to someone.
An automated alert or spam-cast HR garbage is not via a human; it is from a machine making a decision based on rules it was provided. That's not thinking. The courts should bear this out in 5 or 10 years.
This is the first step of The Automation of Middle Management, so I applaud it. Eject the leeches.
It was marketed and sold as a TV, not as a computer display. Had it been also in the display category, I imagine there would have been a price premium.
BTW, screen-savers will come back in fashion. Organic materials and electrical current flow are not the best of friends. So, they will have shorter lives than CRTs (inorganic-based phosphors). I just sleep the screen on short delay, or use a black image as a screen saver.
For me, gaming peeked at Quake3. Get off my lawn and all that.
Try Far Cry 5. It has multiplayer FPS deathmatch and such, just like Quake (and Unreal Tournament, the true pinnacle, or how about Avara, the FIRST truly 3D internet-multiplayer game).
Far Cry 5 rocks. Offline or with a friend, you can play through a campaign that has a very interesting and sometimes unpredictable AI, simple random events colliding in the open world for unique situations. Puzzles. Fishing. Prince-of-Persia-like parkour and climbing puzzles. Meaningfully diverse weapons set. Player specialties. NPC specialties. Command-able AI companions.
Run it on a GTX 1080 Ti for 1080p 60 fps gorgeousness. 4k at 45 fps or so. !!! A Ryzen probably gets you the same.
Increasing TV resolution like this is a good thing.
A hologram works by using photographic film capable of photographing the actual light waves. Once we have resolutions better than light's wavelength, we can have holographic TV.
I'm still not buying a $5,000 TV; screw that. 4K UHD OLED TVs will be under $1,000 by the time I'm ready to buy.
Shop harder.
I picked up an LG 46" 4k TV for computer display use for under $500 in between the holidays. Pretty good deal, but not a steal. You can find even lower-priced options, but they will be unknown brands.
There is a right time to shop, and a wrong one. Or if you want to conspicuously consume, then pay a lot for things.
Am I the only one here who expects a sheet to have two dimensions? I see that the process produced 10m of graphene. What is the other dimension? If it doesn't have one, then I'd call it a fiber. If it is 1cm, I'd call it a ribbon. The paywalled scientific article has a picture that looks more like a small piece of Scotch tape.
It is a 1-cm-wide tape/ribbon Cu substrate.
1 cm x 1 m might be a 'sample run'. Or 100 m. Graphene domain-size is micrometer-scale (usually), so scale-up to a 1-meter-wide sheet would be possible if it were cheap and easy to hot-roll copper down to ribbon that wide. I don't think that is the case here. Marketing. . .
As if we never thought about "nano" stuff being toxic, which we know graphine is so lets mass produce it and send millions of tons into the ecosphere to make things even more toxic, wait I have an idea! lets go one better and grate Plutonium into mono molecular bits and spread it evenly over the entire planet, surely noting bad could happen!
We already did that before above-ground nuclear testing was banned. I'm sure the byproducts of incomplete reactions are well-dispersed by now.
Plutonium does not exist in nature (not found in earth's crust, that is). Uranium is the only one of the trans-uranic group (OK; Actinides) to be naturally present in Earth's crust. Most decay with short half-lives. A very esoteric field, those materials.
The 'secret sauce' here is simply zone refining of the Cu grains to prepare the surface and maximize properly-oriented domains before the established CVD graphene-deposition itself.
. . . I read a warranty recently that said they would repair/replace at their discretion unless you explicitly state you want it repaired. I can't imagine them adding that last part, unless they had to by law or large enough consumer demand.
Perhaps it gives the manufacturer an out by having either 'Their Discretion' or 'Repair', which together make an "A or A -type of choice". Just guessing.
"... but we've seen enough consumer harm or potential for consumer harm that it's an area that we want to approach with extreme caution,
I would like Google to tell us whether they have seen any customer benefit at all.
Or Slashdotters can tell us: Anyone know of any benefit related to cryptocurrencies?
Benefits? When has customer benefit EVER been involved in the Marketing Department's thought process? It's sell it at whatever price the market will bear, not on a fixed margin or sustainable growth curve.
If the quoted AC is correct, then this item is not news.
. . . Exploiting MASTERKEY requires an attacker to be able to re-flash the BIOS with a specially crafted BIOS update.

If physical access is required to exploit a 'security flaw', then it's not really much of an exploit; now, is it?
ANY OF THESE CATCHILY NAMED VULNERABILITIES require you to be p0wn3d by the exploiter before they can begin, as well.
If someone has physical control of your computer; you have far bigger problems than these pipsqueaks from 'whatever that hit-job company is named."
Yes, the combination of publication within a day and registering an AMD-denigrating domain for the purpose stinks. . . a PR hit job. [emphasis mine] . . . One might wonder if this is more than a shell company;-)
How do these tiny, unknown shell companies find zero-day flaws that no one else can?
Must be super-geniuses -- or maybe just sloppy hacks poorly covering their tracks when attempting defamation.
How is this different than HPs memristor from a decade ago?
The memristor was first theorized as the 'fourth basic electronic component' in a paper in the 60's or 70's.
HP gets credit for being first-to-market (with a sub-optimal active-layer material). But, of course, they ran with the material that they had Patent protection for. That keeps their marketplace lead open for a while... Hopefully, they figure out the next leap before everyone catches up with them. (That did not happen.)

An LED-backed LCD will fall under the $600 mark; but OLED is a bigger beast to slay.
It's OLED, 2017 model.
No burn-in issues to speak of.

Or it could be because the expensive part they're replacing is "no longer in stock" and the warranty lets them use cheaper replacement parts.
Or unsold overstock running up to a new 'improved' product launch. Or for some time after, since 3-yr warranties are out there.

If you want a square, go to Grolltex. Graphene sheets made by CVD on copper ... this actually does sound a lot like their process.
https://grolltex.com/
What kind of electron mobility is seen in the Grolltex squares? Domain size?
MOD Parent up!
He's right in every respect.
The 'secret sauce' here is simply zone refining of the Cu grains to prepare the surface and maximize properly-oriented domains before the established CVD graphene-deposition itself.
Not sure how useful a graphene-copper composite is... Article doesn't describe any steps beyond depositing the graphene onto the copper.
The copper is removed in a standard process where (in part) the graphene is floated-off, and captured on a substrate by practice and luck.
Having captured the monolayer, you can then make a test structure or device. It's standard.

Not a breakthrough.

I think you're confused.
(2^31 + 7) Bytes = 2,147,483,655 Bytes = 2 GiB + 7 Bytes.
