But the company still needs to obtain permission to launch SpaceX is not going to stop there after the second launch of the largest and most powerful rocket in the world. According to SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk, the hardware of the Starship rocket should be ready for the third flight in 3-4 weeks. [caption id="attachment_83963" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Elon Musk[/caption] Thus, SpaceX plans to ensure technical readiness for the third launch before Christmas. However, now the company has no guarantee that regulators will allow Starship to fly by the deadline specified by Musk. SpaceX still needs to obtain a launch license from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This agency is overseeing the investigation into what happened during the second test launch of Starship. Elon Musk: the huge Starship rocket with the SpaceX ship should be ready for the third flight Saturday's launch was scheduled to send Starship's upper stage flying most of the way around the Earth, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii 90 minutes after launch. But the flight ended after about eight minutes with a “quick unscheduled disassembly.” This was not the only explosion of the day; Super Heavy Starship's massive first stage was scheduled to splash down in the Gulf of Mexico about seven minutes after liftoff, but it disintegrated high in the sky immediately after separating from the upper stage. Nevertheless, SpaceX was pleased with the second test flight, which was more successful than the debut launch in April - the rocket reached space and flew higher, further and longer. The company will now carefully analyze this flight to make the necessary improvements for the next launch.

Job satisfaction survey says tech, while bad, is better than other industries for women

Tech may grab headlines for its misogyny and racial biases, but when it comes to job satisfaction, professional women still rank it as the best industry to work in, according to a survey by the company InHerSight.

That’s sad for the state of women in tech and shows just how low of a bar industries have set for promoting and supporting women in the workplace.

As Women’s History Month draws to a close, here’s a look at the InHerSight data, which shows what technology does better — and worse — than other industries.

According to the InHerSight data, women remain underrepresented in the tech workplace. Only 28 percent of all tech jobs are staffed by women, but women still prefer working in the industry to any other.

Mainly that’s a matter of benefits. Women surveyed by InHerSight ranked tech highly for its paid time off and its flexible work hours — as well as its offerings for maternity and adoption leave.

Again, it’s helpful to remember that this is on a sliding…

The final decision will be made in March Apple released its newest iPhone 15 series of smartphones less than two months ago, but is already working on its successors. Fresh details about the upcoming flagship iPhone 16 were shared by authoritative network informant Majin Bu.  [caption id="attachment_81930" align="aligncenter" width="600"] iPhone 16 Pro[/caption] What to replace: Apple is testing a prototype iPhone 16 Pro without a “dynamic island” According to the source, Apple is now testing a version of the iPhone 16 Pro, which instead of the “dynamic island” uses a round cutout in the screen for the front camera, which is more familiar to smartphone users. Majin Bu noted that this prototype may remain a prototype, and another version will appear on store shelves. The final decision will be made in March 2024. According to the source, we will most likely see this version of the design no earlier than the iPhone 17. Majin Bu supplemented the publication with a render of the iPhone 16 Pro with such a cutout.  Let's remember that Dynamic Island debuted last year on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, and in 2023 it will be used on all four models of the iPhone 15 line.  Informant Majin Bu previously revealed exact data about the iPad mini, iPhone 12 colors, iPhone 15 defects, and so on.

Honor occupies more than 50% of this market In the third quarter of this year, China's foldable smartphone market was captured by Huawei and Honor. Moreover, it is not the cheapest model in the book form factor that dominates there.  [caption id="attachment_68781" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Honor and Huawei[/caption] The leaders in the foldable smartphone market in China are only Honor and Huawei The first place in the market was taken by Honor Magic V2, followed by the very similar Huawei Mate X3 and X5. At the same time, Honor occupies more than 50% of the foldable smartphone market in China as a whole. For example, sales of that same Magic V2 have already reached 8 million units.  At the end of the second quarter, China accounted for 58.6% of all foldable smartphone sales in the world. Given this state of affairs, Samsung may lose its leadership in this market in the foreseeable future, since the company’s position in China is traditionally very weak.

X is not a party to the pan-European code of conduct against fake news Social network X, formerly known as Twitter, is the largest source of fake news, as stated by Vice-President of the European Commission Vera Jourová. Social network X has not signed up to the pan-European code of conduct to combat fake news in social networks and advertising campaigns. At the same time, according to Jourova, X has “the highest ratio of unreliable/disinformation posts.” The Code of Conduct is a set of regulatory standards to allow companies such as Google, TikTok, Microsoft, and Meta* to do more to combat fake news across the 27-member bloc. It was built on an earlier version published in 2018. X/Twitter Elon Musk is the biggest source of fake news, according to the European Commission [caption id="attachment_60888" align="aligncenter" width="600"] X Twitter Elon Musk[/caption] “A tough law comes with obligations, so my message on Twitter is: 'You have to follow a tough law and we will watch what you do,'” she said. The code underpins the Digital Services Act, which sets out strict rules for content moderation. Jourová added that with parliamentary elections in Slovakia scheduled for September 30 and presidential elections in Poland on October 15, it was important for platforms to address the risks of online interference. * The Meta company is recognized as an extremist in Russia and is banned.

But it's synthetic It looks like faster memory could significantly speed up upcoming Intel processors. The Core i9-14900KF with DDR5-7000 memory performed much better in the Geekbench test than the Core i9-14900K with DDR5-4800. [caption id="attachment_56054" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel processors[/caption] The new result was 3347 and 23,051 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively. Result with slower memory: 3140 and 19,134 points.  Of course, in all cases, allowance must be made for the fact that non-serial samples can pass the tests, but in any case, this is a good increase relative to the Core i9-13900K, which is technically no different from the new product.   With Intel processors, it's time to buy fast DDR5. [caption id="attachment_56055" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel processors[/caption] It is also worth remembering that Geekbench is still a synthetic benchmark, and in real applications, the gain may be significantly lower. Especially where the software is insensitive to memory frequency.

The bandwidth of the new interface is huge Intel yesterday introduced the Thunderbolt 5 interface with a gigantic throughput of 120 Gbps. By comparison, USB4 is only capable of transferring 20 Gbps, while Thunderbolt 3 and 4 are limited to 40 Gbps. Such a huge increase in throughput provides great opportunities. Intel itself believes that the emergence of Thunderbolt 5 will lead to a revival of the external video card market. [caption id="attachment_56020" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel[/caption] We've also seen external graphics connected via Thunderbolt over the years, and I think with the new version doubling the bandwidth we'll see a resurgence in this category Intel believes Thunderbolt 5 will revive the external graphics The company also believes that Thunderbolt 5 can make it so that not only external video cards will appear, but also external AI accelerators. I think in the next few years we may start to see some external AI accelerator products because of the desire for AI in the client space. Let us remind you that Thunderbolt 5 allows you to connect up to three 4K screens with a frequency of up to 144 Hz and transmit up to 240 W of power. The first laptops with Thunderbolt 5 are expected after the release of Meteor Lake processors, but probably as early as next year.

But the data in the EEC database does not indicate that such cards will come out AMD has already stated that there will no longer be any truly new video card models in the RX 7000 line, but there may well be modifications of existing ones. And one of these could be the Radeon RX 7600 XT. [caption id="attachment_55393" align="alignnone" width="780"] AMD[/caption] At a minimum, such models are registered in the EEC database. They were registered by PowerColor. As always, EEC registration does not mean such models will be released. At the same time, the Radeon RX 7600 XT looks very unusual, because at least PowerColor has registered two versions with 10 and 12 GB of memory. The RX 7600, recall, has 8 GB of memory. New inexpensive AMD video cards with 10 and 12 GB of memory. [caption id="attachment_55394" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] In the previous line, AMD had RX 6700 XT and RX 6700 video cards with 12 and 10 GB of memory, respectively, but the bus was 192 and 160 bits. The RX 7600 has a 128-bit bus. The RX 7600 XT apparently cannot rely on any other GPU than Navi 33, judging by the statement from AMD itself. That is, AMD is unlikely to be able to make the bus wider than 128 bits. True, in the history of video cards there were models with a non-standard ratio of memory volume to bus width, so in theory, the RX 7600 XT could have the same GPU as the RX 7600, the same bus, but more memory. AMD could also use a 96-bit and 80-bit bus, but that would be weird.
