📱Tech news💻:
- For the upcoming RTX 4090 card, Nvidia AIB (add-in board) manufacturer, such as Asus, Gigabyte and Zotac recommend 1kW power supply unit (PSU), while Palit recommend 1.2kW PSU, which is not following Nvidia’s 850W PSU recommendation. This move may have something to do with the huge momentarily power spike whenever the card feel the need to use it.
- Microsoft, as an apparent response toward unhappy gamer with slower performance, recommends two procedure to fasten up Windows 11: disable HVCI (Memory Integrity; it would be risky to do so since it will expose your computer with more vulnerable malware and ransomware attack) and disable Virtual Machine Platform.

- TSMC will have to compete with Samsung in term of capital expenditure and process node lead supremacy for chipmaking (shrinking and other tech innovation, such as 3D cache), as they’re in the trouble in term of earning profit due to Apple’s, AMD’s, Intel’s and Nvidia’s reduced chip demand.

- Long March 11, a solid-propelled rocket modified from Dongfeng (DF)-11, were successfully launched from first time’s offshore sea (fourth flight from sea, three of which conducted from Yellow Sea), carrying CentiSpace-1 S5 & S6 on 7 October 2022.
- Meteor that impacted the outskirt city (fortunately it’s empty) of Chelyabinsk, Russia, is a chondrite type, shock-darken (as a result of high-speed atmospheric drag heat) from an asteroid, 1998 OR2.
- Can an asteroid impact destroy the entire earth? The answer is that depending on the size and the velocity of the asteroid, but in the most cases, the earth will survive. Only the species that exist on the surface, water and soil of the earth were likely wiped out in the worst case scenario.
- Apparently, according to the another research that also linked toward the idea of mega tsunami triggered by “begone-dinosaur!” asteroid, it also causes huge earthquake that lasted several months, if not years, as a result of Chicxulub impact that also somehow connecting it with another earthquake fault lines and cracks.
