Jurassic Park computers in excruciating detail

After I mentioned a Jurassic Park anecdote the other day, I watched the movie again. I must have seen it at least ten times now. This time, I researched every computer/software I spotted.

We are all aware of the infamous "This is a UNIX system, I know this!" meme, but many more computers make their appearance in Jurassic

For the 50-series GPUs, Nvidia removed the ability for consumers to read the GPU "Hotspot" temperature sensor.

That sensor has just been exposed by HWMonitor in its latest update.

My report: I have a PNY OC 5080 and the "GPU" temp at full load under No Man's Sky (no vsync, 144fps cap, full GPU utilization) sits around 60F and the Hotspots (Hotspot 2 is a little higher than the first) seem not to exceed 75F. There's 15F or so difference between "GPU" and hotspots, often.

DEF CON Talk on Getting Started in IoT Hacking
We're mostly games here at Set Side B, the whole "retro, niche and indie" thing ya kno, but what is a game really? This is to say, we're not against linking to other kinds of computer, and even electronic, entertainment. That's the excuse reason I give for doing posts on old websites sometimes, and new sites done in

Vogue Business: Do Smart Glasses Have a Surveillance Problem?. “Big Tech has been borrowing from fashion’s playbook to improve its image, and the new Kylie partnership and glasses line launch is its biggest pivot to fashion and culture yet. Beneath the question of whether Jenner can finally make Meta’s smart glasses cool, there’s a much more challenging question for Meta and its rivals. […]

Your next PC build or console upgrade just got a lot more expensive, and 3 tech giants are being sued for it.

DRAM prices skyrocketed 700% as wafers shifted to AI data centers. Is it a real cartel or just the market?

The Famicom/NES PPU’s Pass-Through Graphics Capability
It's not well known (but is becoming better known) that the NES's PPU graphics chip has an unutilized feature. It has a way to pipe graphics into it from another PPU, giving the two chips a combined output. The Famicom and NES both ground out the pins that would allow using this interesting fea

I stopped by Best Buy and bought this external Seagate 24TB drive for $279.99 and thought to myself at the register while paying for it, "Damn, this is expensive."

I just looked and the same drive at Best Buy is now $709.99 (and that's the sale price after a $50 discount!). The sale price is a whopping 153.6% increase in just six months!

This is insane. Thanks #AI techbros for making everything tech more expensive.

- a neat hack for the properly paranoid -

Your computer is likely generating random noise on your sound card. On some systems you can harvest this noise as true random entropy. This entropy can be diffused and whitened for use in cryptography.
