the zoom could be better but it is still good

the idea of using encryption for your hard drive is to protect your private data
but, it seems that this kind of protection is not as safe as it used to be any more
the thing is, now you can make a copy of RAM (computer memory) as soon as it is turned of or at any time if the computer is in sleep mode and you’ll find the encryption key there
many disk encryption programs are at risk, including Windows BitLocker, linux dm-crypt and Mac software

MSI wants to save on electricity so they’re building a cooling fan to run not on electricity but on the heat produced by the computer motherboard.
they use a Stirling engine where the heat makes the gas expand and move the pistons thereby generating fan movement
while I think this is a great idea, I wouldn’t use it since the fan puts dust in the air and I’m allergic to dust/dust mites
here’s a video of the device
by the scientists at University of Alberta led by Stephen Barr, a molecular virologist.
the gene named TRIM22 can block HIV in a cell culture and is present in our own body
this gene does not work in people already infected with HIV and the researchers are trying to find out why
