@exile360hmm.. it's said that the cooling with LM can improve cooling by 1-3 deg c but risky and thermal paste is recommended as per - Liquid Metal Thermal Paste Explained & The Dangers Explored "https://pcgamingbuilds.com/liquid-metal-explored"

Why ration? giraffe snapped well..

Cool snaps..

fantastic beat. OMG.. is the above a copy of Drugs and Alcohol" by Brian Setzer. (very very similar)..

@exile360why leave out voting age at 18?? odd rules..

@exile360 But liquid metal is said to be corrosive , so how does it work. is liquid nitrogen a better option?

Tks @Pierre75 Wishing you a great year ahead too !!.

Information teleported between two computer chips for the first time "https://newatlas.com/quantum-computing/quantum-teleportation-computer-chips/" Scientists at the University of Bristol and the Technical University of Denmark have achieved quantum teleportation between two computer chips for the first time. The team managed to send information from one chip to another instantly without them being physically or electronically connected, in a feat that opens the door for quantum computers and quantum internet. Scientists Likely Found Way To Grow New Teeth For Patients "https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/24252/20191111/scientists-likely-found-way-to-grow-new-teeth-for-patients.htm" Tooth loss is an unfortunate health condition that people all over the world can suffer from. Whether from decay, gum disease, or fractures, you can experience tooth loss in a variety of ways. But what if there was a way to grow back those lost teeth? Scientists believe that they might have found a way to regrow lost or damaged teeth through the use of stem cell technology and bioengineering. Several research groups are currently tackling the same question; all in an effort to find a way for humans to regrow lost or damaged teeth as noninvasively and as affordably as possible. We asked dentist Dr. Sood what he knew about this latest breakthrough and this is what he taught us. Columbia University Researchers at the New York City Columbia University Medical Center have been working to see if they could find a way for patients to regrow an anatomically correct tooth by using their own stem cells. The tooth might even be able to grow directly into a patient's empty tooth socket, so it will be able to merge with the surround gum tissue as if it had always been there. So far, they have proven that they can grow teeth, but not in a person's mouth...yet.

Age limit now 21 across US for cigarettes, tobacco products "https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/age-limit-now-21-us-cigarettes-tobacco-products-67948867" Anyone under 21 can no longer legally buy cigarettes, cigars or any other tobacco product in the U.S. A new law enacted last week by Congress also applies to electronic cigarettes and vaping devices that heat a liquid containing nicotine

Did come across 'Silicon Lottery' but didn't check details. Tks for info @exile360 .. But, does your overclocking voids warranty of your system and post-sale service?

The Advantages & Disadvantages of Overclocking "https://smallbusiness.chron.com/advantages-disadvantages-overclocking-66770.html" Curiously, CPU manufacturers themselves have begun to encourage the practice of overclocking by selling “unlocked” versions of their CPUs, according to PCWorld. In the final analysis, however, overclocking is better suited in situations where you build your own PC and have no warranty to begin with.

People do go for CPU overclocking, as per - CPU Overclocking: Benefits, Requirements and Risks "https://blogs.umass.edu/Techbytes/2017/02/08/cpu-overclocking-benefits-requirements-and-risks/" So, nothing new to be shunned.

AMD E1 series are a special class of APU chips with CPU & GPU integrated), so a class apart.. maybe if normal methods don't work, if CPU overclocking options are available with BIOS may be tried out (though manufacturers don't recommend it and risky as it can brick the system, if not done properly and also increase power consumption and system heating up)..

Chrome Update policy is little murky, as it releases updates even after EOL and no guarantee on it. Why Google plans to stop supporting your Chromebook after five years "https://www.pcworld.com/article/3109868/why-google-plans-to-stop-supporting-your-chromebook-after-five-years.html" The latest on update policy, the support has been extended by around a year for some models as per "https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/05/google-gives-most-chromebooks-an-extra-year-of-software-support/"

Capturing carbon dioxide from trucks and reducing their emissions by 90% "https://techxplore.com/news/2019-12-capturing-carbon-dioxide-trucks-emissions.html" Researchers at EPFL have patented a new concept that could cut trucks' CO2 emissions by almost 90%. It involves capturing CO2 within the exhaust system, converting it into a liquid and storing it on the vehicle. The liquid CO2 would then be delivered to a service station and where it will be turned back into fuel using renewable energy. Credit: EPFL / François Maréchal In Europe, transport is responsible for nearly 30% of the total CO2 emissions, of which 72% comes from road transportation. While the use of electric vehicles for personal transportation could help lower that number, reducing emissions from commercial transport—such as trucks or buses—is a much greater challenge. Researchers at EPFL have now come up with a novel solution: capturing CO2 directly in the trucks' exhaust system and liquefying it in a box on the vehicle's roof. The liquid CO2 is then delivered to a service station, where it is turned into conventional fuel using renewable energy. The project is being coordinated by the Industrial Process and Energy Systems Engineering group, led by François Maréchal, at EPFL's School of Engineering. The patented concept is the subject of a paper published in Frontiers in Energy Research. A complex process onboard the vehicle Scientists propose to combine several technologies developed at EPFL to capture CO2 and convert it from a gas to a liquid in a process that recovers most of energy available onboard, such as heat from the engine. In their study, the scientists used the example of a delivery truck. Solar power from 'the dark side' unlocked by a new formula "https://techxplore.com/news/2019-12-solar-power-dark-side-formula.html" Most of today's solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity only from the side facing the sky. If the dark underside of a solar panel could also convert sunlight reflected off the ground, even more electricity might be generated. Double-sided solar cells are already enabling panels to sit vertically on land or rooftops and even horizontally as the canopy of a gas station, but it hasn't been known exactly how much electricity these panels could ultimately generate or the money they could save. A new thermodynamic formula reveals that the bifacial cells making up double-sided panels generate on average 15% to 20% more sunlight to electricity than the monofacial cells of today's one-sided solar panels, taking into consideration different terrain such as grass, sand, concrete and dirt. The formula, developed by two Purdue University physicists, can be used for calculating in minutes the most electricity that bifacial solar cells could generate in a variety of environments, as defined by a thermodynamic limit. "The formula involves just a simple triangle, but distilling the extremely complicated physics problem to this elegantly simple formulation required years of modeling and research. This triangle will help companies make better decisions on investments in next-generation solar cells and figure out how to design them to be more efficient," said Muhammad "Ashraf" Alam, Purdue's Jai N. Gupta Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Windows 10 is getting a easier way to update and install drivers "https://www.windowslatest.com/2019/12/25/windows-10-is-getting-a-easier-way-to-update-and-install-drivers/" Windows 10’s next major update scheduled for release in 2020 will feature a new way to update and install optional drivers. In the changelog of Windows 10 Build 19536, Microsoft has confirmed that the firm is still working on an easier way to install drivers and monthly non-security quality update. This feature was announced with Build 19536 and Microsoft says users will be provided with a new section in Windows Update to manage optional updates without third-party software or Device Manager.
