Windows 11 22H2 build 22621 bug shows “hardware security not supported” on supported PCs

Posted by in category: security

The Windows 11 22H2 (Sun Valley 2) RTM build 22,621 has resurrected an old bug whereupon a system gets a “hardware security not supported” message even on PCs that meet the necessary requirements.

Is Monkeypox the Latest Zoonotic Disease to Transfer from the Wild to Humans Accelerated

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

There are at least 10,000 virus species in vertebrate animals with the capacity to infect humans. Climate change will facilitate this.


Research study forecasts that 4,000 diseases currently found in the wild will leap to humans in the next 50 years.

If Aging is Not a Disease, Then Neither is Cancer!

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

The reluctance of many in the medical field to classify aging as a disease is causing significant roadblocks for those trying to find a solution.


Many people will swear to the life extending properties of coffee, be it saving them from keeling over from exhausting in the early hours of the morning or saving an annoying co-worker from the unbridled rage of someone who hasn’t yet acquired their caffeine fix. Yes, coffee is without a doubt one of the most powerful (and mostly metaphorical) lifesavers of the modern world. However, recent studies into the effects of drinking coffee on human lifespan have found that it might very well have a significant impact on health and longevity. A study of 170,000 people from the UK found that those who drank between two and four cups of coffee a day were 30% less likely to die from all causes compared to those who did not drink coffee at all.

A ‘ghost’ black hole is moving around relatively nearby, scientists say

Posted by in category: cosmology

Scientists may have found the first “free-floating” black hole, as it moves around our Milky Way galaxy.

When large stars collapse, they are thought to leave behind black holes. If that is the case, there should be hundreds of millions scattered throughout the Milky Way, left behind after the death of those stars.

But scientists have struggled to find them. Isolated black holes are invisible.

Posture Assessed in Health Exam Detects Cognitive Decline

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, neuroscience

Summary: An older person’s posture may give clues to hidden cognitive decline, a new study reports.

Source: Shinshu University.

A mass survey of citizens aged 50 to 89 years examined whether cognitive decline could be detected by sagittal spinal balance measurement based on a radiological approach. Doctors from Shinshu University observed associations of sagittal vertical axis (SVA) anteriorization and higher age with lower cognitive function.

Truckers warn skyrocketing diesel prices are making US supply-chain and trucking industry unsustainable

Posted by in category: futurism

“If something drastic doesn’t change in the next few weeks/months, I promise you, you’ll see empty shelves everywhere you look,” Smith wrote in a post that was shared nearly 290,000 times. “You’ll see chaos as people fight for the basic necessities of everyday life.”

Smith did not respond to a request for comment from Insider in time for publication.

Insider spoke with five truckers who warned that the industry could be at a breaking point. The drivers say they’ve had to get creative in recent months as they work to turn a profit while spending thousands at the pump.

How Old Cells Rejuvenate To Be YOUNG AGAIN — Cell Autonomous Effect | Dr David Sinclair Clips

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, economics, genetics, life extension, robotics/AI

Cells not replaced, but old cells that are still there are rejuvenated.


Dr David Sinclair explains the mechanism behind how to reprogramm the old cells rejuvenate to be young again. He also clarify the process is based on cell autonomous effect and does not involve or rely on any stem cells in this clip.

AMD Updated EPYC Roadmap: 5th Gen EPYC “Turin” Announced, Coming

Posted by in categories: computing, finance

As part of AMD’s Financial Analysts Day 2022, AMD has provided updates to its Server CPU roadmap going into 2024. The biggest announcement is that AMD is already planning for the (next) next-gen core for its successful EPYC family, the 5th generation EPYC series, which has been assigned the codenamed Turin. Some key announcements include various segmentations of its expected EPYC 7,004 portfolio, including Genoa, Bergamo, Genoa-X, and Siena.

Navigation Sensor on Mars Helicopter Dead, NASA Says

Posted by in category: space

NASA’s Mars helicopter has run into a bit of trouble after 28 successful flights and well over an entire dusty Earth year into its mission on the Red Planet.

One of the four-pound rotorcraft’s navigation sensors has given out — an unfortunate new development, especially considering Martian winter is almost upon it. Extreme temperature swings could soon wreak havoc on the rest of the helicopter’s electronics.

But the team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab says their plucky rotorcraft isn’t finished yet.

Moving furniture in the micro-world

Posted by in category: futurism

When moving furniture, heavy objects are easier to move if you rotate them while pushing. Many people intuitively do this. An international research team from Konstanz (Germany), Trieste and Milan (Italy) has now investigated on the microscopic scale the reduction in static friction caused by simultaneous rotation.

In their recent study, to be published in Physical Review X on June 15, the researchers found that the reduction in of a microscopic object on a crystalline surface can be described by moiré patterns, which occur when periodic patterns superimpose. Based on this concept, the researchers predict an unusual state, in which microscopic objects can be set in rotation by applying a minimal amount of torque. In the future, this could enable the construction of micro-machines with ultra-low static against rotation.
