riley that's a hard drive it's new LTT merch actually it can be
whatever you want it to be another one the future is upon us my friends we'll
all have 16k monitors next year did you know that
no well it's gonna happen i'm just kidding but only partly the video electronics
standards association or visa has published the displayport 2.0 standard
with the first compatible product slated to launch in late 2020. displayport 2.0
offers triple the bandwidth of the current standard dp 1.4 a at 77 gigabits
per second yeah that's 20 gigabits per second per
lane which will enable support for HDR 8k video at 60 hertz and 4k at 144 hertz
and in certain configurations with display stream compression dp 2.0 will
be able to support single displays at up to 16k and 60 hertz or two 8k displays
at 120 hertz Anthony did some math and he says
theoretically you could do 4k at
hertz but that sounds a little crazy to me
i wouldn't even want that it seems plus i hate chromosome sampling
me too man it's a scourge
oppo has demonstrated a real prototype of their under display selfie camera at
mobile world congress in shanghai it apparently uses custom transparent
materials for the cathode and anode portions of the screen which allow light
to pass through while still displaying an image the results are less than
perfect photos taken by the press show a camouflaged but still very visible
camera notch but but hey it's better than having your phone look like it got
a bite taken out of it you know is it
not quite this is more like a bruise i feel bad for the phone
but that's not all oppo showed off they also announced mesh talk which will
allow smartphone users to communicate with other phones without using cellular
networks wi-fi or bluetooth instead the
phones themselves will create local area networks that can cover up to three
kilometers or 1.86 miles how it works
will be a complete mystery to the public until we figure out that wait that's
that's just radio oppo apple invented radio ad hoc self-healing
mesh network i get it yeah one of those and electric vehicles are cool until you
have to locate charging stations and wait hours for a full charge well
lightyear has a solution
solar freaking cars remember roadways
oh you don't like them yesterday the dutch company unveiled the light year
one an electric vehicle with five square meters of solar panels covering the roof
and hood of the car the panels sit beneath safety glass which is apparently
strong enough to support full-grown adults
for all the all the times you stand on your car for
fun and it can supply up to 12 kilometers or 7.5 miles of range per
hour the one can also charge using conventional charging stations so with a
full charge plus solar charging while on the go you could have a max range of 725
kilometers or 450 miles sounds awesome the only thing is the car
starts at 135 000 and launches in 2021
so we may see those bright claims dimmed a little bit i hope it launches
in summertime yeah wait this is useless

maybe next time spacex launched their falcon heavy rocket on monday night
successfully delivering a payload of 24 satellites into orbit while the two side
boosters landed successfully the center core missed its landing ship and
exploded as it hit the ocean i hate when that happens to my center
core boosters but it apparently only had a 50 chance of making it so elon's not
too upset spacex also successfully caught the nose cone of the rocket with a net carried by
boats so overall a pretty good day

20 individuals none of the networks affected were in
north america but due to the extremely targeted nature of the attacks
researchers believe the campaign is being orchestrated by a nation-state
