For five long months there was no intelligible signal from the Voyager 1 spacecraft. Now a NASA team has apparently solved the mystery.
Pasadena – No space probe is further from Earth than “Voyager 1”. The NASA probe has been in interstellar space beyond our solar system for several years and is sending valuable scientific data to Earth from there. At least it did that until November 14, 2023. Since then, no understandable data has come from “Voyager 1” – a cause for concern for the US space agency NASA and its Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which looks after the two twin “Voyager” space probes.
While “Voyager 2” continued to send data to Earth without any problems, “Voyager 1” caused headaches for their team for months. But they are now likely to have been blown away. On April 20, 2024 – a little more than five months since the last meaningful data transfer – the space probe reported to Earth in such a way that the “Voyager” team could do something with it.

Gaming platform Smilegate Stove announced on the 24th that it will present “The Battle of Baek Hero”, a spiritual sequel to the classic JPRG series “The Guardian of Fantasy”.
“Baby Heroes” is produced by Rabbit & Bear Studio, founded by the developers of Konami, the creator of “The Guardian of Fantasy,” and the developers of Castlevania, and published by global indie game publisher 505 Games. Raised expectations right from the development stage, ranked first in Kickstarter sponsorship in 2020, and reported $4.6 million (approximately KRW 6.3 billion), more than 9 times the funding goal .
As the game’s title suggests, “Baek Hero Battle” features extensive content with over 100 characters. Battle of Baek Heroes has the slogan “A tribute game for all fans of classic JRPGs” and reinterprets the classic “Water of Fantasy” game with a modern sensibility. We have adopted a turn-based battle method that seamlessly combines 2D and 3D to let you experience dynamic battle in a classic JRPG atmosphere.
Grounded Performance Review: How Does it Stack Up on PlayStation 5 and Switch?
A week ago, Grounded was released for both PlayStation 5 and Switch, becoming the third game from Microsoft to be released for competitive formats. The previous two were Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush, which can be considered smaller titles, while Grounded is more challenging, and Digital Foundry has now looked into how the game work on Nintendo and Sony hardware – and he’s not impressed.
The poorer performance of the game on the Switch is perhaps not surprising given how weak the console is, and the resolution is dynamic and between 360p-720p. In addition, many graphic details and effects have been removed, such as depth of field, light rods and more. However, Grounded on Switch can’t run at 30 frames per second, and often lags significantly.
However, the PlayStation in terms of hardware is very similar to the Xbox Series X, so it is surprising that so much has been given for this news. For example, the PlayStation 5 version runs between 1080p-1215p compared to the much higher 1512p-4K on the Xbox Series X. It’s also worth noting that the frame rate on the PlayStation 5 is often a ‘ drop to 50 frames per second compared to a constant 60.
Rise Up, Cerim: The Wickeds Performance Updates Begin
No Rest for the Wicked: Early Access Performance Updates
The game No Rest for the Wicked entered early access with room for improvement, following the trend of ‘buy now, play finished game later’ models. Despite its initial performance issues, recent hotfixes have significantly enhanced the gameplay experience, particularly on older graphics cards.
Hotfixes 2 and 3, building on the changes introduced in Hotfix 1 which addressed weapon durability concerns, have focused on optimizing framerates. These updates have specifically targeted the prologue’s intense ship battle sequence, known for its demanding sea, rain, and fire effects that previously impacted performance.
After implementing Hotfix 3, a noticeable improvement was observed on the GTX 1060, especially when running at 1080p on the Performance preset. Framerates have become more stable, with the prologue now maintaining above 40fps and other sections averaging around 56fps, except for specific instances like the final rain fight.

Testing these updates on the Steam Deck revealed marginal differences, particularly when using default settings with a dynamic resolution target of 30fps. While performance improvements are evident, occasional stuttering and limited graphics options remain areas for further enhancement.
Despite the progress made,
Vision Pro helps with surgery!Brazilian doctor hails game-changer
Apple’s Vision Pro Used in Successful Shoulder Surgery by Brazilian Plastic Surgeon
At last year’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), tech giant Apple launched Vision Pro, a device that received mixed reviews. However, the company is still promoting the device and expanding on its applications. Recently, foreign media reports have highlighted an interesting use of Vision Pro in the medical field.
According to reports from WCCFtech and MacMagazine, Brazilian plastic surgeon Dr. Bruno Gobbato successfully performed shoulder surgery on a patient using Vision Pro. The surgery was to repair a rotator cuff tear, which was caused by excessive wear and tear of the shoulder tendon tissue. Dr. Gobbato praised the device for its ability to display surgery-related information through lenses and sensors, making the surgery process smoother.
Traditionally, shoulder arthroscopic surgery involves a lens inside the joint, with the surgeon looking at a screen to perform the surgery. With Vision Pro, high-resolution images can be seen on a movie-sized screen, allowing real-time viewing of patient conditions and 3D models. Dr. Gobbato, who has used Microsoft HoloLens for surgery in the past, considers Vision Pro a “game changer” that has replaced many previous devices.
While Vision Pro has many potential uses beyond surgery,
Discovering the Largest Stellar-Mass Black Hole in the Milky Way Galaxy: Unexpected Findings in Astronomy
2024-04-18 05:00:05
A research paper by a team of astronomers claiming to have accidentally discovered the largest stellar-mass black hole ever detected in the Milky Way Galaxy has been published in the astronomical journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.announcementIt was done.
Stellar-mass black holes are formed by the gravitational collapse of a star, usually via a supernova explosion. It is much smaller than supermassive black holes such as Sgr A*, which is located at the center of our galaxy. Sagittarius A* has a mass about 4 million times that of the Sun, while the newly discovered stellar-mass black hole, Gaia BH3, has a mass about 33 times that of the Sun.
unexpected discovery
Gaia BH3 is about 2,000 light years away in the constellation Aquila, making it the second closest known black hole to Earth. Most of them are less than 10 times the mass of the Sun, and Cygnus X-1, the second-largest stellar-mass black hole in our galaxy, is only 21 times the mass of the Sun.
“No one expected that we would find a high-mass black hole lurking nearby, undetected until now,” said Pasquale Panuzzo, an astronomer at the Paris Observatory of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).
NXP Unveils S32N55 Processor for Vehicle Control Integration
New Delhi: NXP Semiconductors announced the S32N55 processor, the first device in the S32N family of vehicle super-integration processors. As the core of the S32 CoreRide central compute solution, it provides a scalable combination of secure, real-time and application processing to meet the central compute needs of vehicle manufacturers. The S32N55 processor specializes in secure, centralized, real-time vehicle control, accommodating high-performance, deterministic computing for maximum functional safety. Through software-defined, hardware-reinforced isolation, it can manage multiple vehicle functions independently.
The S32N55 processor enables integration of vehicle functions, significantly reducing ECU hardware costs. This “super-integration” capability reduces material use and weight, contributing to stability and extended driving range. Ultimately, fewer ECUs and less wiring result in reduced manufacturing complexity and time for car manufacturers. With the S32N55’s hardware isolation and virtualization technologies, its resources can be dynamically partitioned to adapt to evolving vehicle function requirements over time. Hardware-reinforced isolation enables secure consolidation of ECUs, streamlining software development and supporting lifetime enhancements and upgrades. Vehicle functions can receive independent software updates with the S32N55’s secure, granular over-the-air (OTA) upgradeability.
“The S32N55 processor is the central brain for real-time vehicle control in our new S32 CoreRide platform,” said Ray Cornyn,
