As the world once again sets its sights on the moon, it can seem like continuing on to Mars is the next logical step. Some space travel fans like Elon Musk have talked excitedly about seeding Maritan colonies within the next decade, but could put a damper on such plans. According to the latest data, humans could only safely spend four years on Mars before receiving an unsafe dose of radiation. The researchers set out to answer two key questions for a hypothetical crewed Mars mission: Is it possible to safely send astronauts to Mars? And could the timing of a mission reduce the amount of radiation astronauts encounter? The answer to both of those questions is “yes,” but there are caveats.
The internet is a complex place that’s growing in sophistication with every day that passes, and it’s very easy for your data to become compromised. When your details are stolen, it doesn’t take much for them to end up in the hands of data brokers – who sell your details for a profit. Ensuring your data does not end up in the hands of data brokers is an important step for anyone who spends time on the internet, as is taking back control of that data when it may become compromised. Thankfully, there are ways you can mitigate the problems caused by data loss, and even ensure that your data is no longer in the wrong hands, even if it’s already been compromised.
Earlier this summer, Amazon released its MMO, New World, for beta testing. It didn’t take long for reports of failed RTX 3090 GPUs to begin popping up online. The failures were specifically concentrated in EVGA RTX 3090 GPUs. Back when Ampere launched, some wondered whether the different capacitors used on some models were a potential source of instability. The strange part of the story was the fact that software almost never kills hardware. There are two exceptions to this policy: Firmware updates (which stretch the definition of “software”) and applications that can somewhat mimic thermal viruses like Furmark and Prime95.

Several weeks ago, Perseverance after drilling into a rock, a mystery that took NASA a few days to solve. Now, the rover has , and this time it appears to have been successful. Last month, Perseverance selected a rock and drilled down to collect its sample. At first, everything seemed to have gone perfectly. However, there was nothing in the sample tube when the team checked. One of the rover’s primary objectives is to store samples from the red planet in special tubes that will eventually make their way back to Earth.

(Photo: Ryan Whitwam)Another day, another Pixel crisis: Riding the tail of a relatively widespread while shooting in 4K, Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones everywhere are rendering themselves useless in perpetual emergency download (EDL) mode, according to a number of posts on and on . Though Pixel users have been reporting the issue for at least several months, the last few weeks have seen an uptick in online complaints. EDL mode (a feature built into the Qualcomm chips used in every Google Pixel the new Pixel 6) traditionally allows users to unbrick a phone by force-flashing the device’s firmware.
