Tesla's Roadster prompts Koenigsegg to rethink its supercars

Image
Did you suspect that supercar manufacturers would be nervous when Tesla vowed that its next-gen Roadster would deliver a "hardcore smackdown" to gas-powered performance cars? Your hunch was well-founded. In a chat with Top Gear , Koenigsegg's namesake founder Christian von Koenigsegg revealed that his company started reworking its engines just to remain competitive with t he Roadster's vaunted 1.9-second 0-60MPH time. "This is embarrassing," he said. The Swedish brand is sticking to its hybrid engine approach, but it's relying on a "peculiar layout" that melded its existing hybrid engine system with direct drive and freevalve (that is, camless) tech. Christian also noted that his company could tweak the compression ratio of a turbo V8 to add another 600HP "just like that" without pushing the engine past the breakin

vMotion VMs between vCenter Servers – Cross vCenter Workload Migration Utility

Image
Prior to vSphere 6.0, we were not allowed to perform the live migration between the vSphere Distributed Switches. It was only limited within the dvswitch. After vSphere 6.0, vMotion is allowed across vSwitches and even vCenter Servers. vMotion across vCenter server allows you to simultaneously change the Compute, Storage, Networks and management. It leverages the migration with unshared Storage. When using the vSphere […] The post vMotion VMs between vCenter Servers – Cross vCenter Workload Migration Utility appeared first on VMware Arena . via Latest imported feed items on VMware Blogs https://ift.tt/2LRm1Np If New feed item from https://blogs.vmware.com/feed , then send me an email at kr Unsubscrib

Run, Don’t Walk. VMworld 2018

I think the worst part of VMworld has to be the end of VMworld.  There's nothing like the reality check of a 14 hour flight back home to Melbourne.  As I sit here looking out the window at a cold … Read more » via Latest imported feed items on VMware Blogs https://ift.tt/2wDgPbn If New feed item from https://blogs.vmware.com/feed , then send me an email at kr Unsubscribe from these notifications or sign in to manage your Email Applets.

Canon’s full-frame mirrorless camera leaks and could be coming this week

Image
You wait for years for a full-frame mirrorless camera to show up from the most dominant brands in photography, and then two show up at once. Right after Nikon announced its first serious step into high-end mirrorless with the Z7 and Z6 , it looks like Canon's own effort is imminent. Leaks from Japanese website Nokishita have revealed images of the camera, its spec sheet, and details on the initial lens lineup. The camera is apparently called the EOS R, and looks a lot like a slimmed-down full-frame DSLR. The controls appear to be tweaked somewhat, with unmarked dials (not PASM) and a curious left-right switch on the back. The screen is fully articulated, and there's a secondary information display on the top. The full-frame sensor is... Continue reading… via The Verge - Tech Posts https://ift.tt/2NIjQ0z

NASA's public CO2 challenge could help astronauts endure on Mars

Image
NASA would really prefer that Mars astronauts produce their materials on Mars , but that's not so easy when resources we take for granted on Earth are hard to get on the Red Planet. The administration has an idea as to how it might accomplish that feat, though -- and it wants your help. It's launching a CO2 Conversion Challenge that asks the public to find ways to turn carbon dioxide into compounds that would be useful on Mars, where the substance is plentiful. The competition will focus on glucose, since it's the most likely to metabolize and thus the most efficient. A first phase will have teams submit designs that explain the details of their approach, with as many as five teams winning $50,000 each. Those teams that pass the gauntlet will move to a second phase where they have to build and demonstrate their solutions. The most promising candidate

Canon's full-frame mirrorless camera leaks in vivid detail

Image
You don't have to wonder how Canon will respond to Nikon's Z-series mirrorless cameras (and by extension Sony) -- many of the details now appear to be out in the open. Nokishita and Canon Rumors have posted leaked details of the EOS R, a 30.3-megapixel full-frame cam that would primarily compete with the Nikon Z6 and Sony's A7 III . The design wo uld thrive on low-light photography with a wide ISO 100 to 40,000 normal sensitivity (up to ISO 102,400) and the company's familiar dual-pixel autofocusing. Those aren't exceptional specs given the increasingly competitive full-frame mirrorless space, but there would be a few twists that might give it an edge over its rivals. For one, the EOS R appears to have a horizontal-swivel touchscreen -- unlike its Nikon and Sony counterparts, this might work for video blogging. There's also a touch strip

Google widens crackdown on ads for tech support scams

Image
Tech support scams are seemingly as plentiful as ever, and Google is taking some strict measures to prevent those fraudsters from showing up in its ads. The search firm has begun "restricting" tech support ads worldwide, and it's planning to introduce a verification system in the "coming months." This won't guarantee that you'll avoid support scam ads, but the odds should be higher that you'll get real help. Google reiterated that it had purged 3.2 billion bad ads of various kinds in 2017, and pointed to past crackdowns on shady behavior categories such as rehab centers and bail bond services . It characterized the tech support verification system as a logical extension of this approach -- it needed to screen advertisers when it was becoming "increasingly difficult" to tell the bogus services from the real provider
