 WHY GAMERS SHOULD AVOID WINDOWS  11 . Microsoft Microsoft Windows 11 offers more security features and is the most secure Windows system in history. However, the built-in security features result in a serious drop in game performance. UL Benchmarks, publisher of the 3DMark software, announced today that a series of tests have shown that the Microsoft Windows 11 Virtualization Protection (VBS) feature can reduce game performance by up to 30%. The full name of this feature is "Virtualization Based Security Feature". This function is on by default in the new Windows 11. However, when users upgrade from Win10 to Win11, this feature is not enabled by default. When this feature is active, Win11 score and game performance will decrease. When testing "Tomb Raider: Shadow" in Windows 11, the results show that the game is not compatible with Computer Base and the difference is clearly beyond the scope of the error. The reason for this result may be due to differences in the ...

 WEARABLE DEVICE USES SMALL MAGNETS TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY UCLA's self powered,stretchable,waterproof,soft magnetoelastic generator Jun Chen UCLA While we've heard a lot about wearable piezoelectric devices that generate electricity from the movement of people, they don't work well under certain conditions. However, a new transport of bioelectric energy could attract attention where it failed While piezoelectric devices generate an electric current when pressed or pushed, this new tool is a little different. It uses the so-called magnetoelastic effect, in which the magnets in a material are compressed and separated by mechanical stress, creating an electric current with a change in the strength of that material's magnetic field. In the past, magnetoelastic generators were made of hard metal alloys that were too hard to fit comfortably on the body. However, under the direction of Assistant Professor Jun Chen, the team at UCLA has developed a model that is soft and flexi...

  OVER 10  MILLION ANDROID USERS LOSE MILLIONS OF EUROS TO TROJAN ATTACK. The newly discovered Android Trojan horse has reportedly stolen millions of euros from more than 10 million Android smartphone users worldwide, according to a new report from the Zimperium zLabs security research team. Damage can reach to several hundred million euros. GriftHorse - named by Zimperium zLabs - is an attack Trojan horse that uses malicious Android operating system applications to take advantage of user interaction and trick them into signing up for a hidden premium service. After infecting an Android smartphone, the Trojan sends pop-ups for fictitious prizes. This pop-up reappears about five times an hour until the user taps the notification to accept the offer. The malware then redirects victims to a geographic web page asking them to leave their phone number for verification. The site, in turn, uses this phone number to send it to a high-quality SMS service that charges the owner more tha...
