We hear a lot about quantum computers these days. They’re supposed to work almost like magic.
We’re even told to choose a certain VPN because they’re “quantum proof”!
The trouble is, even most experts agree we’re not ‘there’ yet. Far from being an impending breakthrough, quantum computing is still quite experimental – but you’d never know it from reading the stories in the news.
On the plus side, it just so happens that quantum computers raise fundamental questions about the very nature of reality! Which is nice.

While most people were distracted by China’s new flavors of AI, something even bigger was happening.
China’s EAST experimental fusion reactor ran at temps 6X hotter than sun’s core for almost 18 whole minutes, doubling its previous record.

It’s time to upgrade your Ethernet! New multigig Ethernet switches that run at 2.5 Gbps are now much cheaper to buy. So the only question left is: Will your Ethernet cables actually work at multigig speeds? Well, theoretically, if they’re at least Cat 5e, they SHOULD be fine… But alas, not all cables are created equal.

While many agencies and officials claim traditional cars are at higher risk of bursting into flames, we don’t seem to hear so much about them in the news.
Whatever the case, the fact remains that EV battery fires are VERY nasty.
