The most powerful graphics card on the market has Apple support but works with almost no Apple computers. Continue reading Nvidia’s Hackintosh Support Is an Insurgency Against Apple’s Un-Upgradeable Computers
The review embargo is finally over and we can share what we found in the Nvidia Jetson TX2. It’s fast. It’s very fast. While the intended use for the TX2 may be a bit niche for someone building one-off prototypes, there’s a lot of promise here for some very interesting applications.
Last week, Nvidia announced the Jetson TX2, a high-performance single board computer designed to be the brains of self-driving cars, selfie-snapping drones, Alexa-like bots for the privacy-minded, and other applications that require a lot of processing on a significant power budget.
This is the follow-up to the Nvidia Jetson …read more

The last year has been great for Nvidia hardware. Nvidia released a graphics card using the Pascal architecture, 1080s are heating up server rooms the world over, and now Nvidia is making yet another move at high-performance, low-power computing. Today, Nvidia announced the Jetson TX2, a credit-card sized module that brings deep learning to the embedded world.
The Jetson TX2 is the follow up to the Jetson TX1. We took a look at it when it was released at the end of 2015, and the feelings were positive with a few caveats. The TX1 is still a very fast, very …read more

After finding the infamous Heartbleed vulnerability along with a variety of other zero days, Google decided to form a full-time team dedicated to finding similar vulnerabilities. That team, dubbed Project Zero, just released a new vulnerability, and this one’s particularly graphic, consisting of a group of flaws in the Windows Nvidia Driver.
Most of the vulnerabilities found were due to poor programming techniques. From writing to user provided pointers blindly, to incorrect bounds checking, most vulnerabilities were due to simple mistakes that were quickly fixed by Nvidia. As the author put it, Nvidia’s “drivers contained a lot of code which …read more
What do you do when you rapidly become one of the most important chip manufacturers in the world and your stock price more than triples in a single year? For Nvidia, that means you throw a massive keynote stuffed with announcements that are setting the stage for a suite of products built around your core technology — building GPUs — that will make you the center of the… Read More Continue reading Nvidia hits prime time at CES this year
Google patched a critical hole in its problematic Android Mediaserver component that could have allowed an attacker to use email, web browsing, and MMS processing of media files to remotely execute code. Continue reading Google Patches 29 Critical Android Vulnerabilities Including Holes in Mediaserver, Qualcomm
Google’s November Android Security Bulletin patched 15 critical vulnerabilities, but only a supplemental patch for the Dirty Cow Linux vulnerability. Continue reading Google Releases Supplemental Patch for Dirty Cow Vulnerability
The best gaming platform is a cloud server with a $4,000 dollar graphics card you can rent when you need it.
[Larry] has done this sort of thing before with Amazon’s EC2, but recently Microsoft has been offering a beta access to some of NVIDIA’s Tesla M60 graphics cards. As long as you have a fairly beefy connection that can support 30 Mbps of streaming data, you can play just about any imaginable game at 60fps on the ultimate settings.
It takes a bit of configuration magic and quite a few different utilities to get it all going, but in …read more
