  1. BMW Motorrad and renowned coach Bernhard Naumann have presented the new creation from the manufacturer, the BMW Blenchmann R 18. It was in full confinement, at the beginning of April of this year, when the Munich firm announced the arrival of its first cruiser. A model that, based on unforgettable motorcycles like the BMW R 5, represented BMW's heritage and tradition like no other. Using the R 18 as a base, Naumann made the smallest possible changes to both the chassis and the technology of the model, and only used the original anchor points to create the imposing creature that you see here. This is how the BMW Blenchmann R 18 was born Bernhard Naumann, nicknamed Blenchmann ("The shaker"), explains that he prefers to work directly on the bike and not with previous sketches and thus ensure that the proportions are correct: "My work begins by removing parts of the original version until there is a blank canvas. As construction progresses, the design develops. I call it ‘Blechmann-style rapid prototype’ ”, explains the artist. Its version is based on the original support structure of the rear fender, saddle and passenger. But the fuel tank has undergone major changes. A narrower design and cuts in the knee area highlight its sporty character and give more prominence to the engine. The original head tube was used as the base for the handlebar. Blenchmann was also in charge of customizing the kidney-shaped headlights. The steering angle, the forward-sloping headlight and the central filament lamp are also details that highlight the custom character. Unobtrusive black paintwork and classic white BMW Motorrad stripes were the finishing touch to Naumann and his team's 450 hours of work to create the BMW Blenchmann R 18.

  2. Dr. Germán Málaga, professor of medicine at the Cayetano Heredia University, shared the list of requirements for those who want to participate as volunteers in phase 3 clinical trials of the Sinopharm company vaccine in Peru. President Martín Vizcarra announced that six thousand Peruvians will participate in phase 3 clinical trials of the vaccine made in China by the Sinopharm company. In conversation with Dr. Elmer Huerta, the main professor of Medicine at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH), German Málaga, provided more information on what the requirements will be to be part of this study. As recalled, a first group of 3,000 people will participate in trials with the UPCH and another group of 3,000 will do so with the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM). Malaga specified that a group of 2,000 people will receive the Wuhan virus strain vaccine, another group of 2,000 other members will be injected with the Beijing virus strain and another 2,000 will undergo the placebo effect. What requirements must I meet? Dr. Málaga reported that the minimum age to participate will be 18 years and the maximum 75. He also indicated that those patients who are currently undergoing some medicated treatment or with uncontrolled diseases such as tuberculosis will be discarded. "If you have hypertension, but it is controlled, there is no problem for you to participate," said Malaga. Likewise, he pointed out that all those selected will undergo COVID-19 discard swab tests and blood tests to rule out any other disease. If the volunteer develops any symptoms after being injected with the vaccine, he or she will have health insurance with coverage of up to $ 500,000. To register as a volunteer, Dr. Málaga indicated that it can be done through vaccinecovid.pe which will be activated this Wednesday, August 26. "We intend that we can recruit volunteers before September 8," he said. Newsletter All about the coronavirus COVID-19 has put everyone on alert.

  3. The examinations of the corpses of the twelve women and one man were in charge of the Institute of Legal Medicine. President Martín Vizcarra expressed his "anger at the irresponsibility" of the party's organizers. The Public Ministry reported this Sunday that eleven of the thirteen deceased at the 'Thomas Restobar' nightclub in Los Olivos, on Saturday night, were infected with COVID-19. The expertise was in charge of the Institute of Legal Medicine. "The autopsies will be carried out tomorrow, Monday, August 24, in compliance with the biosafety procedures required in these circumstances, especially since 11 corpses infected with the virus have been identified," they explain in the statement. The provincial prosecutor Carlos Díaz Casimiro, head of the Fourth Office of the Second Provincial Criminal Corporate Prosecutor's Office of Los Olivos, is in charge of the case and directs the proceedings to find those responsible for the tragedy. The police raided the nightclub where 120 people participated in a party called through social networks, violating the rule that prohibits group meetings in Peru due to the state of health emergency due to COVID-19. "Faced with the police intervention, which did not use any type of weapon or tear gas, those attending the party tried to escape through the only entrance door, running over themselves and being trapped between the door and a staircase in the premises," said the Ministry of the Interior in a statement. Twelve women and one man died of suffocation after the stampede unleashed at the 'Thomas Restobar' nightclub. President Martín Vizcarra lamented the tragedy and expressed his "anger at the irresponsibility" of the party's organizers.

  4. AMD is preparing a brand new line of Van Gogh low power Ryzen mobile APUs that will be targeted at the notebook segment soon. We have heard a few details of these APUs which will incorporate a very different architecture compared to the Cezanne APUs that are launching under the standard U and H series segments. AMD Van Gogh Ultra-Low Power Ryzen APUs To Feature Zen 2 CPU & RDNA 2 GPU Architecture In 7.5W-18W TDP Configurations We got to hear some interesting new details regarding the Zen 3 based Cezanne APUs from Twitter user Patrick Schur yesterday and today, he has leaked information regarding the Van Gogh APUs in his latest tweet. The AMD Van Gogh APUs will be part of the Ryzen family and are presumed to be a part of the Ryzen 5000 family. The tweet mentions that AMD's Ryzen APUs that are part of the Van Gogh family will feature two key technologies. These include the Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 GPU architectures. The design will be unlike anything that AMD has done on the PC platform but the same two architectures have been incorporated for the next-generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony. The existing Ryzen 4000 Renoir APUs feature the Zen 2 CPU and Vega GPU architecture while the upcoming Cezanne APU family is going to feature the Zen 3 CPU and Vega Enhanced GPU architecture. While we already know the full potential of the Zen 2 CPU architecture, it is likely that the ones Van Gogh APUs utilize will be based on an enhanced 7nm process node. You might even call it Zen 2+ which will deliver improved efficiency and much better clock sustainability. The GPU side on the other hand will receive a big upgrade in the form of RDNA 2. AMD's RDNA 2 GPUs will deliver an improved performance per watt design over RDNA 1. Internal AMD estimates have shown a 50% increase in performance per watt. We haven't seen any RDNA GPU in action in an integrated chip design yet and Van Gogh might as well be the first one to show how the next-gen Navi 2X GPUs perform in a monolithic APU design. We can expect a big jump in overall performance over 7nm Vega GPUs but the main bottleneck will come from the memory & cache design of Van Gogh APUs. To mitigate the bandwidth issues, AMD's Van Gogh Ryzen APUs are expected to feature LPDDR5 memory. The evolution of LPDDR4x memory provides up to 50% faster data transfer rates & also higher bandwidth which would help deliver improved graphics performance. As for the TDPs, the Van Gogh based Ryzen APUs will feature configurations starting at 7.5W and can be configured up to 18W. Van Gogh could be positioned to tackle both Tiger Lake-Y 9W and Tiger Lake-U 15W chips which will be an interesting competition in the notebook segment for sure. AMD Ryzen 5000 'Van Gogh' - Low-Power Mobile APUs With Zen 2 CPU & Navi 21 GPU There's no mention on when these chips will launch but earlier reports have hinted at late 2020 as a possible release date but I expect the announcement to take place alongside AMD's Ryzen 5000 'Cezanne' family unveil at CES 2021. The Van Gogh CPUs are also reportedly in A0 revision. Earlier leaks have indicated that Van Gogh is likely to feature Zen 2 CPU cores and Navi GPU cores. While Zen 2 has proved to be a very efficient chip for the low-power segment, the most interesting part of the Van Gogh APUs will be its graphics chip which will not only be based on a better graphics architecture than Vega but AMD's RDNA 2 IP. The specific GPU for the Van Gogh APUs is said to be Navi 21. Again, the use of the Navi 21 codename here might confuse a lot of people but just like Vega 20 which is the codename for the 2nd Gen Vega (7nm) graphics IP, the Navi 21 codename could be there to indicate the 2nd Gen Navi (7nm) graphics IP. We are aware that Navi 21 is also the code name used for the Big Navi GPU but this is the very reason I hate stated earlier that details for just Ryzen 5000 'Cezanne' APUs are concrete at the moment while the rest of the lineups are mostly based on speculated evidence from various sources.

  5. It has established itself as the fastest large sedan on the German circuit. Ahead of its world premiere, the new Porsche Panamera has shown its potential by placing itself on the times table as the fastest large sedan on the Nürburgring Nordschleife track. Under the command of test driver Lars Kern, the Panamera Turbo managed to cover the 20.3 kilometers of the Green Hell in a time of 7: 29.81 minutes, which ranks it as the fastest full-size four-door. Given the safety requirements, Porsche only changed the driver's seat, imposing one of competition, and a safety cage was imposed for protection of Lars Kern. In the end, the time timed by the 550 hp Panamera Turbo made clear its superiority by dropping the mark set four years ago by 13 seconds, In addition to power, the improvements made to the chassis and steering of the new Panamera were key to achieving this time in what is known as the most demanding circuit in the world.

  6. The Government's goal is to test all of the more than 90,000 prisoners held in 68 prisons across the country and also the more than 11,000 prison officials. More than 12,000 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19 in Peru's prisons, which represents 44% of the more than 27,000 tests carried out so far in prisons, as announced this Saturday by the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Ana Neyra. The objective of the Government is to test all of the more than 90,000 prisoners who are held in 68 prisons throughout the country and also the more than 11,000 prison officials who are in charge of their security. centers. "We have taken around 27,000 tests to date and we have 12,294 infected people. Our objectives are three: testing, but also drug treatment and clinical observation," Neyra said in statements to RPP Noticias. So far, all the inmates of the Ancón I, Ancón II and Miguel Castro Castro prisons have already passed tests, all of them located in Lima. In Castro Castro, scene in April of a violent riot that left nine dead, tests were completed last week on almost 5,200 prisoners. This next week it is expected to conclude the process with the inmates of the Callao prison, known as Sarita Colonia, the first where there was a focus of coronavirus contagion among the prison po[CENSORED]tion. Internal therapy The minister recently verified the start of this series of rapid tests on 40 officials from the Lurigancho prison, the most po[CENSORED]ted in Latin America with more than 9,300 prisoners and 700 public servants. Lurigancho has served as a model for important prisons in the country with the strategy undertaken by the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE) to train inmates themselves so that they know how to identify possible cases of COVID-19 within their wards and refer them to the medical area. There, a temporary hospital was also installed within one of the workshops to be treated within the same facilities and avoid transferring sick inmates to hospitals that are already collapsed and where it is difficult to find a free bed. "One of the objectives is to carry out the tests, but we have also worked on pharmacological treatment. Within the prisons we have inmates trained to detect and treat cases to prevent their spread. We are working on that," Neyra explained. (EFE)

  7. Your request is very nice but you need to be more involved in the community both in the forum sections etc, we have several projects, I know you will like one, well I advise you to join one and it was before making this request, manage a sv it is not enough and fair for others.
  8. We are going to consider the best and most appropriate alternatives" for the coronavirus vaccine, President Martín Vizcarra said at a press conference. Much has been said about the Russian vaccine against the new coronavirus. While some already consider it the world's first vaccine against COVID-19; Others remain skeptical and indicate that phases one and two have not been published by any scientific journal, and that the third has not yet been completed. This afternoon, Martín Vizcarra spoke about it, and indicated that the Peruvian government has sent a document to the Russian embassy, so that in its next press conference it will give information on the coordination maintained with the government of that country. Likewise, the head of state indicated that the country will consider all the alternatives, but will choose the ones it considers "the best and most appropriate." "The Russian direct investment fund will be in charge of the coordination," he said. It is worth mentioning that Russia announced last Thursday the implementation of clinical tests of the Sputnik vaccine against COVID-19 in more than 40 thousand people. Also, the vaccine website has announced that phase 3 of the clinical trials began on August 12. Martín Vizcarra also reported that five pharmaceutical companies from different countries are chosen to coordinate with the Peruvian government in the production of 30 million vaccines that will satisfy 90% of the po[CENSORED]tion.

  12. NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 is more or less looking to become the flagship offering in the Ampere Gaming lineup which will be unveiled on September 1st. While we wait, the rumor mill has become a heated place with various leakers and tech outlets giving their own predictions regarding the RTX 3090 pricing. NVIDIA's Flagship Ampere Graphics Card, The GeForce RTX 3090, Rumored To Cost $1399 US - WIll Feature More Than Double The Memory of GeForce RTX 2080 Ti The latest rumor comes from Wjm47196 who has a history of leaks/rumors that turned out to be true. He has now posted on Chiphell forums that NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 is going to feature a starting price of $1399 US. This is $200 US more than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti which had a price of $1199 US for the Founders Edition. It is stated that this is the starting price as the Founders Edition of the GeForce RTX 3090 could cost an extra $100 which should put the price of the card at $1499 US. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti for comparison had variants starting at $999 US while custom designs went all the way up to $1999 US. NVIDIA was asking a $200 US premium for the Founders Edition variant of the RTX 2080 Ti and while the RTX 3090 may have a $100 US premium for its own FE variant, the base price would be very high, to begin with at $1399 US. If we compare the rumored base price of the GeForce RTX 3090 with the base price of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, you can see a price bump of 40%. Founders Edition pricing would be a 25% bump over Turing. The main reason for the price bump could be associated with the massive amounts of G6X VRAM that the RTX 3090 incorporates. While the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti featured 11 GB of GDDR6, the GeForce RTX 3090 is expected to feature an insane 24 GB of GDDR6X memory. That's more than 2X the memory buffer which also operates at much higher clock rates for higher bandwidth and along a wider bus too. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 is also going to make use of the GA102 GPU core which is rumored to deliver up to 40-50% performance jump over the RTX 2080 Ti. The GeForce RTX 3090 will be the king of the hill for NVIDIA and they are definitely going all out with its insane specifications hence the pricing has also gone up. This however causes some concern in the enthusiast segment as we can get custom variants that might cost north of $1500 US. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Custom Graphics Cards To Cost North of $1500 US? Another rumor from the Chiphell forum (via TechPowerUP) details the expected price point of the GeForce RTX 3090 lineup from Colorful. The Chinese graphics card manufacturer is known for some insane designs and this rumor could be linked to the leaked PCB of the RTX 3090 which is also rumored to be a Colorful custom graphics card. According to the rumor, Colorful is prepping up at least 3 variants of the GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card which include the Vulcan-X, Vulcan-X OC, and the Neptune D. The Vulcan series will make use of a premium custom design with air cooling while the Neptune D graphics card will make use of a water cooling design. Following are the rumored prices in Chinese Yuan: In terms of pricing, the GeForce RTX 3090 Vulcan X is expected to cost 13,999 Chinese Yuan or $2000+ US, the Vulcan X-OC will cost 15,999 Chinese Yuan or $2300+ US and the Neptune D will cost 12,999 Chinese Yuan or $1900 US. Now given the tax and rebates in the Chinese market, the actual pricing of these cards will be around $1600, $1800, and $1500 US respectively. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 - The Fastest Ampere Gaming Graphics Card According to leaked details, the GeForce RTX 3090 will feature the GA102-300-A1 GPU. The GA102-300-A1 GPU is said to be comprised of 5248 CUDA cores or 82 SMs. In total, that's a 20% increase in cores over the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. No details such as clock speeds, TMU/ROP counts are provided and we can't take the Ampere A100 die as a reference since gaming & HPC parts share a different configuration hierarchy. Moving on to the memory side, things start to look interesting as it is stated that the card will get up to 24 GB memory with faster GDDR6X pin speeds. Since that's a 384-bit bus we are looking at, it will be able to offer nearly 1 TB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 'Ampere' Gaming graphics card lineup is expected to be announced on 1st September at a digital event which will be hosted by CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang. We expect at the very least, three new graphics cards during the event which include the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (or RTX 3090), GeForce RTX 3080, and a next-generation Titan. There's definitely a lot more to talk about regarding the Ampere GPUs but we will have to wait until more information comes our way.

  13. They reveal the name and part of the interior of the future large SUV of the brand. The American brand Jeep is FCA's favorite, not just in the United States, and has an aggressive product plan that includes many new models. One of them is revealed in part by some first leaked images: Jeep Grand Wagoneer, which would be presented next year as a 2022 model. The photos that confirm the aforementioned are two, one where the name of the model is appreciated (cover photo) and the other is a closed shot of the power button that reveals a little of the interior. What we know about the new 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer: It will be the new flagship of the Jeep brand. It is an SUV with three rows of seats but in XL format. It will share a platform with the RAM 1500, so it will use a stringer chassis with body on frame. It will likely offer the same range of engines, including eTorque electrified versions of the 3.5 L V6 and 5.7 L V8. The transmission would be an eight-speed automatic. Jeep could also include a Plug In Hybrid variant. It is expected to offer a luxurious interior, with expensive materials and a lot of technology. The infotainment system would be the same 12 "tablet type that we find in the RAM 1500. Production will begin in the second quarter of 2021. The new 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer will aim to compete with models like Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Suburban, and in its more expensive variants, it could also fight with Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, BMW X7 and Audi Q7.

  14. Congressman Lenin Checco, spokesman for the bench, asked the president of the Congress, Manuel Merino, to include the Motion of Interpellation against María Antonieta Alva in the next plenary agenda. The Broad Front (FA) considered that the Minister of Economy and Finance, María Antonieta Alva, should be questioned, for which it asked the President of Congress, Manuel Merino, to incorporate the Interpellation Motion presented on the 25th June 2020. The FA spokesman and congressman, Lenin Checco, said that Merino should schedule "immediately" the interpellation against the Minister of Economy this week in order to inform the country of the results of the economic measures implemented by her administration. The parliamentarian said that these have failed due to the increase in unemployment and the number of infected and deceased in our country by COVID-19. The parliamentarian pointed out that the economic reactivation "ignores the results in terms of health in the face of COVID-19", such as the need for ICU beds with mechanical ventilation, the health situation in the regions. “The economic reactivation promoted in 4 phases has only led to COVID-19 infections increasing among workers. In Phase 1 of the implementation of the Reactiva Peru program, it only benefited 50,231 MYPEs and the FAE-MYPE Business Support Fund, which as of June 12, 2020 granted loans to 143,409 MYPEs, jointly mean having channeled credits only to 8.1 % of the universe of existing MYPEs, a really low coverage that excludes more than 90% of MYPEs, precisely those that generate the most jobs and have the most economic needs at the moment for their sustainability, "he said. The Broad Front is not the only bench that opposes Alva's permanence in the MEF. Weeks ago, after the swearing-in of the new Ministerial Cabinet, United for Peru (UPP) congressman Javier Mendoza criticized Alva's re-election. The parliamentarian pointed out that both Alva and Martín Benavides, Minister of Education, are facing interpellation processes in Congress and that therefore, the ideal would have been to elect someone else. Regarding Alva, he said that he must answer for the actions of Reactiva Peru. Newsletter All about the coronavirus COVID-19 has put everyone on alert.

  15. When VR was first revealed to the world, I was pretty damn excited about the concept. I love Star Trek so the idea of having my own holodeck or holosuite experience popped right back into my head. I want to be Data in his Sherlock Holmes programmes or I want to try out one of Quark's more po[CENSORED]r 'experiences'. Let's leave that trail of thought right there. So, we're talking about the HTC Vive Cosmos, HTC's most recent output into the VR headset scene and their latest answer to the question "how do I VR best without needing more money than the Grand Nagus and more tech than the USS Enterprise?" That and the HTC Vive Cosmos is also the companies answer to Oculus, which has been driving down the cost of VR through the release of the Rift S and Quest. Of course, the Quest is standalone, not wired, and less powerful than the Rift S and the Cosmos, so when it comes to a hard comparison you're going to be looking right at the Samsung Gear VR Rift S and Valve Index. Coming in at a princely £699, it sits right in the middle of the Rift S' £399 and Index's £919. The question is simple: Does it do enough to justify the higher price and is it good enough that you don't need to pay more for the next step up? It's a difficult question and one that has to be covered in multiple stages. Let's first look at the build of the HTC Vive Cosmos, something that seems directly opposed to recent VR trends. This isn't a sleek piece of kit in any sense of the word. It's a large, hulking, face-hugging monster that isn't afraid to show what it has on offer. The front blue plate with its six outward-facing cameras, this front plate is removable, letting you swap it with other faceplate options that you can buy from HTC. It's a nice option, making the HTC Vive Cosmos the only modular VR headset that I'm aware of. Sadly, I haven't been able to try out any of the options myself, though I can certainly see the value in them when it comes to saving money on upgrades down the line. Adding a bit of convenience, you can actually flip up the whole front of the headset, meaning you don't have to take the whole thing off just to look at the real world for a bit. Though you can also see the real world through the six outward-facing cameras through the simple double-click of a button. That's the software though, we'll get to that later. These six cameras have a major function, of course, and that's for your tracking. These work pretty well, keeping a good track of where you are and what space you have remaining - in terms of standing up space, I'm fairly limited but even then the only time I banged into something was when I was walking backwards. That's on me. But what exactly are you looking at when the visor is down, and the headset is running? The HTC Vive Cosmos comes with a 2880x1700 pixel screen, that being 1440x1700 per eye, and this looks great when you get it all set up and running, offering a marketed field of view of 110 degrees. All of this looks great when you have the headset on and it's only improved by a great nose piece(?) that blocks out light, really adding to the immersion when playing a game. I've got to be honest; I've rarely felt as immersed with the other VR I've tried in the past. I will admit I haven't had hands-on with Index though, so that could be better. Now there are a few issues with this though and that's where we return to the actual build of the headset. Fitting it on your head is reasonably easy thanks to the plastic, padded, halo that sits around your head. This is loosened or tightened as required by a dial at the back of the halo. This is further secured by an adjustable velcro strap that sits on the top of your head. With the build also comes some attached headphones that simply snap down, meaning you don't need any speakers, nor do you need to attach any external headphones. You still can, if you want. Now all of this sounds good in writing, it even looks good, but I have to admit that when I'm using the headset and flipping up the headphones and even the front plate, it feels like I'm about to break the headset if I'm not careful. I probably won't. Let's be honest, all of this has been tested, but there's just a flimsy feel that's only made worse by very noticeable clicks, particularly with the headphones that are attached by a pretty thin piece of plastic. I don't like such an expensive piece of equipment to feel like it's easy to damage, even if it isn't. While we're talking issues, let's talk comfort. Now, the headset can be very comfortable thanks to the padding on the supportive halo. The issue is that you pretty much have to perform a ritual to the VR gods to get it both comfortable and get the focus of the headset right. Either it sits perfectly on the head and the focus is just off, something that sadly can't be fixed by moving the dial that controls the interpupillary distance, or it doesn't and you have to start fiddling around. Once you get it right though, it sits perfectly and it's fantastic for long sessions, my longest being five hours, you just have to faff around to get it there. In keeping with the build and the subject of faffing about, being a PC powered headset, you do have a cable to contend with as well as other aspects. The 5m cable connecting your Cosmos to the PC is thick, meaning you won't worry about damaging it, but I have found it a little unwieldy at times. You're also going to have to be careful about any turning around, as you would any cabled headset. As for the setup, the way it all works is that you're connecting the headset to the link box, then the link box to your PC through a USB 3.0 connector and display port. The link box also needs plugging into the mains, so make sure you have a socket free. The alternative to a wired connection is to spend a fair amount of money on the wireless adapter, another show of this being an adaptable headset given you spend something extra. On the subject of negatives, let's talk about the cameras and tracking. For the most part, I love the way the inside-out tracking works, but it's a little fussy. This is especially the case when it comes to lighting. During the daytime, with curtains open, the HTC Vive Cosmos would complain that it's too bright. I'd shut the curtains and it'd be fine. That is until it got a little later or, as is customary for the UK, the clouds would come and darken things. Then it's too dark and I need to open the curtain. At night, my light has sufficed. Another issue with tracking comes to the controllers, which can be flawed, to say the least when they leave the view of the cameras. Granted, there aren't many times you're going to be spreading your arms far back enough that this is the case, but it's certainly an issue if you are playing the headset in seated mode. Your legs, a chair, a passing polar bear, anything can obscure the controller in this situation. This can create a bit of rubber-banding when the predictive algorithm doesn't get it quite right before the controllers come back into view. What I can say is that the tracking is brilliant when the controllers are in view. I've played quite a few games, spending a good amount of time with Viveport and SteamVR, paying particular attention to Half-Life Alyx, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice VR Edition, Superhot VR, Beat Saber and Onward. If your hands are in front of you, particularly in front of your face, then you're set and you're going to find the headset as responsive as you could expect it to be. Now, if only the controllers were as comfortable to use as wearing the headset. They're large and chunky, coming in with arguably a few too many functions. Each controller has a joystick as well as six buttons/triggers/bumpers, all protected by a large circle that emits light, for tracking. All of this leads to a controller that is hefty, a little too encumbering and unwieldy, the weight increased by the battery requirements. The controllers for the HTC Vive Cosmos require two AA batteries for each hand. How long do you think these last? Don't expect them to last a full days session, the batteries lasting around six or so hours of reasonable use. When it was first released last year, before HTC released updates, the battery life was said to be just around two hours. Even at six hours, it's still not really good enough, not when competitors can get a good multiple of that number. As a conciliatory bonus, they're updated wirelessly. I've said how the display of the HTC Vive Cosmos looks great and it truly does, you first need to get set up. So, what sort of system are you going to need? HTC state the minimum requirements are an i5-4590/AMD FX 8350 equivalent CPU, a GTX 970/R9 290 equivalent VR ready 4GB GPU, 4 GB of RAM and to be running Windows 10. Also, the two requirements of a free USB 3.0 slot and a free Displayport 1.2 slot. Once you've got it all plugged in, turned it on, you've got a relatively easy setup to go through. Plug it in, get the software installed, get it set up. I can't complain about it in the slightest, it just works. It's a pain that once you've set it up for either stationary or general use, you have to go through everything again to swap it over, but such is life. It explains itself well and walks you through it, the hardest part will simply be getting the thing sitting right on your head. It will talk you through drawing your own play space and more. Then we get to the good stuff. Well, some good stuff. So I don't like the menus and the navigation of them. I particularly didn't like browsing through Viveport, HTC's app store for all things VR. It's infuriating at best, trying to look through and find something you want while you're on the headset. Since this, like other offerings from HTC, is built around SteamVR, you've always got that option. I've found myself preferring the home offering from Steam rather than HTC's, that and practically every other menu. This is a shame because, with the HTC Vive Cosmos, you get a free two months subscription to Viveport Infinity, offering unlimited access to thousands upon thousands of games and apps. It costs £12.99/month or £107.88/year if paid upfront. Fortunately, you can just look at the app on your PC and get things downloading before selecting the games or app on the headset. Never a good sign that you'd rather not use VR for the VR store.

  16. It contains a level of technology that makes it quite a smart car. A few months ago we told you some information about the HiPhi 1 Concept, an electric car of Chinese origin that dazzles with its technology. And now, Human Horizons shows us the definitive version of its finally named HiPhi X (pronounced 'Hi-Fi-Ex') electric SUV, which will make its debut at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show on September 26. In addition to standing out for its design and high electrical performance, the HiPhi X will become the car with the highest level of technology in the world. Equipped with an advanced and highly personalized integrated artificial intelligence assistant, developed in collaboration with Microsoft, this electric SUV is highly sensory, with a number of intelligent functions, including a level of reasoning and continuous learning while interacting with its occupants, the surrounding environment. and a multitude of vehicle parameters. To achieve this self-learning ability that makes it a smart vehicle, the HiPhi X has a neural network consisting of half a dozen "super brain" domain controllers, connected by 1G Ethernet, which provides a higher transmission speed than networks. Traditional CAN. This enables the HiPhi X to analyze large amounts of information and make decisions using the cloud with a powerful data analysis engine, resulting in a truly intelligent vehicle. Along with this level of technological sophistication, the HiPhi X will offer Level 3 autonomous driving and driving dynamics worthy of a high-performance vehicle, if we consider that the 0 to 100 km / h does it in 3.9 seconds. Likewise, it will be offered in a rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive version and you can choose from several battery options. The largest unit is 96 kWh, which will provide a range of at least 600 kilometers. HiPhi X is now entering the final phase of development before production, which is expected to begin later this year, with official deliveries in 2021.

  17. The Medical College of Peru (CMP), Mayor Jorge Muñoz and various experts criticized the return of compulsory immobilization on Sundays. Martos defended the government's decision. The president of the Council of Ministers, Walter Martos, ruled out that the Government applies a strategy of isolation of certain jurisdictions with a higher concentration of COVID-19 cases (epidemiological fence) instead of mandatory immobilization. He explained that the measure is not viable due to the stage of the pandemic that we are experiencing. "The strategy of epidemiological fence and isolation is used at the beginning of a pandemic, when there are very few infected," said the prime minister in dialogue with "Canal N". During the week, the Peruvian Medical College (CMP), the mayor of Lima, Jorge Muñoz, and various experts criticized the government's decision to return to mandatory immobilization on Sundays. Instead, they recommended isolating the areas with the highest concentration of coronavirus cases; that is, to implement an epidemiological fence. Martos pointed out that, although these measures may work at an early stage, today they are not viable, because, he said, "we are experiencing a second wave of infections and we do not have the resources to do so. “It is very difficult to carry out this type of strategy when the contagion is already community, because we would have to isolate large numbers of the po[CENSORED]tion and have large isolation and control centers with logistical support, which becomes impossible when the level of contagion is very high. ”, He explained. "These types of strategies are used when there is a very low level of contagion, it can be detected early and sufficient molecular tests are available, as South Korea did, to identify the positives and isolate them," he added. Instead, Martos favored mandatory immobilization actions that the government has taken, such as the recent reinstatement of traffic restrictions on Sundays. "In the past, the immobilization of Sundays has served a lot, that is why when we have lifted the restriction on Sundays and shopping centers have been opened and visits to relatives have begun, this second wave of infections has come," he noted . “There is a team of experts that is monitoring the pandemic and that has seen the number of infections that have originated from this type of visit. A large number of people who are relatives are entering the hospitals, which means that the infections are being carried out between relatives, ”he said.

  19. An alleged pictured of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card's PCB has leaked over at the bilibili (Via harukaze5719 & Kopite7kimi). The GeForce RTX 3090 is rumored to be flagship offering in the Enthusiast Ampere gaming graphics card lineup which will be unveiled on the 1st of September during a digital event hosted by NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Graphics Card's PCB Leaks Out - Dual-Sided Next-Gen G6 Memory, Triple 8-Pin Connectors & A Secondary Chip Update: As per the proper source which is Yuki Anjou-YuuKi_AnS (BiliBili), the PCB is part of the GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card. Some new details suggest that one of the memory die has been blurred out which points a 24 GB GDDR6X memory layout with 12 DRAM chips on the front and 12 on the back. The leaker reports that the PCB is from a non-reference board by Colorful which would serve as its flagship iGame GeForce RTX 3090 Vulcan-X series graphics card. The leaker has blurred out lots of PCB area as he mentions that some of the details of the PCB are classified & cannot be mentioned by him. With that said, there's a lot to talk about so let's start. Just looking at the PCB, we can see that we're looking at the backside of the board. The graphics card is powered by three 8-pin connectors which will supply power to all of the components on the PCB. This confirms that at least the custom cards won't be featuring the rumored 12-pin power connector that was reported a while back as it could just be a Founders Edition only design choice (that also hasn't been confirmed yet). Looking at the card itself, there are at least 11 memory modules on the backside which seems to indicate dual-sided memory. Historically, cards with dual-sided memory chips feature the same amount of dies on either side so this would indicate 22 memory modules on the card. Considering these are 1 GB modules, the card could end up with 22 GB of VRAM across a 352-bit bus interface. However, earlier rumors have indicated 20 GB for the RTX 3080 Ti and 24 GB of GDDR6X memory for the flagship variant. A recent rumor posted on Baidu forums suggests that NVIDIA is planning a 22 GB graphics card with a 352-bit bus interface so we might be looking at this right now. Again as far as core & VRAM specifications are concerned, nothing is confirmed so far. The other two interesting details is the interconnect which definitely doesn't look like the standard NVLINK design we have seen on the existing RTX 20 series cards but rather a new version. There's also a secondary chip that seems to be featured right underneath the GPU itself. The leaker placed an Intel CPU on top of the chip so that it doesn't get exposed but it looks like NVIDIA may offer a secondary chip that is not a part of the GPU die itself that may handle a set of specific work loads which are yet to be detailed. Other features we can expect from the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards is a fully PCIe Gen 4 compliant design and enhanced power delivery to several components on the PCB. The leak from yesterday also pointed out to several unique aspects of the GeForce RTX 30 series in regards to its PCB design. The details were more specific to the reference 'Founders Edition' cards but it looks like custom boards are going to take things up a notch considering this leak. There's also an alleged pictured of the ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card which seems to feature a triple-fan cooling solution in a standard 2.5 slot form factor. The card was leaked by the same user on Reddit but the post has also been removed. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 'Ampere' Gaming graphics card lineup is expected to be announced on 1st September at a digital event which will be hosted by CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang. We expect at the very least, three new graphics cards during the event which include the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (or RTX 3090), GeForce RTX 3080, and a next-generation Titan. { There's also a possibility that NVIDIA will announce its GeForce RTX 3070 graphics cards but that remains to be seen. The lineup will initially be available for pre-order in Founders Edition flavors only but recent rumors have pointed that we can also expect custom flavors as soon as the launch embargo ends a few weeks after the unveiling in September.

  20. Impressive images obtained by the friends of GPOne.com, in which you can see the prototype of a new Aprilia Tuono 1100 2021 with camouflage. What stands out the most are the large front wings, very similar to those of Aleix Espargaró and Bradley Smith's current RS-GP20. That I was riding yesterday with him in Imola Lorenzo Savadori, the Aprilia test rider, means that this bike is not a joke. It uses Öhlins ‘black leg’ suspensions, Brembo Stylema calipers with air intake, MotoGP style, various carbon elements, an exhaust that looks like a titanium Akrapovic… The mode selection button on the left fist, in colors, is similar to the one used in MotoGP. This Aprilia Tuono 1100 2021 prototype rides slicks, and according to GPOne, those present affirmed that Savadori had ridden with it in a time of 1'50, which is a great time in Imola. This sophistication, the fact that the brand's official test driver was riding with her, that she mounted slick tires…. perhaps they could mean that it is a version of Tuono-X, derived from the limited series RSV4-X, and with a lot of CV. We will have to be attentive to any news of such a device.
