The minimum PC system requirements for Gotham Knights have been confirmed by developer Warner Bros. Games, however the recommended settings are yet to be announced. In a tweet posted last Wednesday (October 12), Warner Bros. Games shared the minimum requirements needed to run Gotham Knights on PC, which the developer says will allow players to run the game at “60 FPS at 1080p lowest settings.” You can check out the requirements below: Operating System: Windows 10, 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K or Ryzen 5 3600 RAM:…

Aeromine says its unique "motionless" rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price, while taking up just 10% of the roof space and operating more or less silently. In independent tests, they seem legit.Distributed energy generation stands to play a growing part in the world's energy markets. Most of this currently comes in the form of rooftop solar, but in certain areas, wind could definitely play a bigger part. Not every spot is appropriate for a bladed wind turbine, though,…

Throughout the 1990s, researchers looking into cannabis for its health effects began to unravel a mystery that culminated in the discovery of a whole new system in the body. Called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), this vast network of transmitters, receptors, and enzymes can be thought of as a sort of “house manager” that keeps many of the other systems in your body in a healthy state of balance.What’s unique about your ECS is that it contains chemical agents called cannabinoids. These are special compounds that work to…

Don't you just hate it when you're just minding your own business, and a star suddenly decides to go supernova? Well, good news: Scientists have figured out what these stars look like right before they die.According to new simulations, the massive stars that are the progenitors of neutron stars dim dramatically in the last few months before they explode. So, if a massive star fades into complete obscurity without fanfare, the odds are good that there's a supernova on the horizon.Red supergiant stars clocking in at around…

MIT engineers have developed a general design tool for roboticists to use as a sort of automated recipe for success. Their optimization code can be applied to simulations of virtually any autonomous robotic system and can be used to automatically identify how and where to tweak a system to improve a robot’s performance.A new general-purpose optimizer can speed up the design of autonomous systems including walking robots and self-driving vehicles.Since the fastidious Roomba vacuum, autonomous robots have come a long way.…

Bear Grylls: UK schools are ill-equipped to tackle mental health issues(Photo Credit –Instagram) British adventurer and television presenter Bear Grylls, who is known for his show ‘Man vs. Wild’, has a word of advice for the UK’s schooling system. He wants to improve the school system in the UK when it comes to helping students deal with mental health issues, reports Mirror.co.uk. Bear Grylls believes that while things are getting better, schools are still “woefully ill-equipped” and are failing to teach children a…

FORT MEADE, Md.—The museum of one of the nation’s most secretive government agencies has recently reopened following a two-year pandemic closure, and among its new exhibits is one that provides a rare window into a technological upgrade to the nation’s nuclear command and control system.The National Cryptologic Museum located outside Washington, D.C. is now home to several pieces of equipment that were in operation until just a few years ago to generate the codes the president could use to authorize the launch of nuclear…

If you’re looking forward to the release of the RTX 4090, Nvidia’s latest graphics card, then you’re probably concerned about one of the biggest problems plaguing Nvidia’s recent GPU releases: low stock. This has become a huge problem in recent years, especially with the chip shortages caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, Nvidia may have found a solution to help with RTX 4090 purchases. The solution, the tech company revealed, is a “priority access trial.” The trial was revealed in a forum post on the Nvidia…

Maria Diaz/ZDNETForget everything you know about home security: Eufy Security, which features two wireless EufyCam 3 4K-resolution outdoor cameras and the HomeBase 3, looks to machine learning and solar power to deliver what may possibly be the most optimized surveillance setup I've seen yet.I've been tinkering with the Edge Security System for the past week and, while there are several features like Eufy's BionicMind AI Technology that require further testing, have been generally impressed by what the bundle offers.…
