More than 30 years after it was identified as a key ‘longevity gene,’ the protein klotho has been used to boost the cognitive function of aging rhesus macaques, paving the way for human trials.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: anti-aging,… Continue reading Anti-aging therapy is one step closer after successful primate trial
Cambridge scientists have developed a new prototype for computer memory that could make for faster chips that could hold up to 100 times more data. The system is made up of barium bridges between films of a disordered material.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Computer memory prototype ditches 1s and 0s for denser data storage
A lot of talk and discussion happens anytime a hardware manufacturer releases a new line of faster, more powerful, or more efficient computers. It’s easy to see better and better …read more Continue reading A Zero-Day Exploit in the Linux Kernel
I found some threads and articles with lots of info on this topic but I can’t seem to make sense of it just yet. I’m running Fedora workstation with secure boot and full disk encryption on an Asus tuf gaming x570 board and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO … Continue reading How do I disable "suspend to RAM", and enable "suspend to idle"? [migrated]
If I have an app that’s frequently and randomly crashing, will it impose a bigger security threat (e.g: possible attack vector) than apps that are stable? Or are both apps equally protected from such attacks by the kernel and firmware?
Of … Continue reading Do frequently crashing programs pose a bigger security threat than stable programs?
There’s an apocryphal quote floating around the internet that “640K ought to be enough memory for anybody” but it does seem unlikely that this was ever actually said by any …read more Continue reading Increasing System Memory With the Flick of a Switch
I am looking into the protection provided by IOMMU against DMA attacks.
I noticed that the Linux kernel provides a feature called bounce buffers for untrusted PCI devices (https://lwn.net/Articles/786558/) when the device drivers allocate … Continue reading How to check if a PCI device is trusted or untrusted by the Linux kernel (for IOMMU)?
On Linux (and maybe UNIX), you can access and even modify process’s stack with things like ptrace, process_vm_ready, etc., but is there a way to access the copy of the binary that’s being executed that is paged to memory? Not the executabl… Continue reading accessing ELF in memory (Unix/Linux)
Recovery from a heart attack is most often focused on lifestyle changes to support and protect cardiovascular health. But researchers out of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have sounded another alarm, finding that people who had suffere… Continue reading Brain function found to decline rapidly in years after a heart attack
We don’t have to be told a diet rich in fruit and vegetables is good for our health; it may be one of the few areas of science generally not up for debate, even if our adherence to the advice varies greatly.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbe… Continue reading A poor diet may fuel age-related memory loss, but you can reverse it
