Boffins use nuclear radiation to send data wirelessly

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the feasibility and practicality of wireless information transfer using fast neutrons, as highlighted in recent articles. Key points include the slow transmission speed of a few bits per minute and a limited effective range of approximately half a meter, which raises questions about its real-world applications. Comparisons are made to existing technologies, such as toilet flush sensors, which outperform neutron-based communication in both speed and distance. The conversation also touches on the fundamental differences between this technology and traditional methods of communication, like smoke signals, prompting inquiries about its overall utility. Overall, while the concept is intriguing, its practical uses appear limited at this stage.

I've been checking on this article for some time when noticing that the speed of transmission is around a few bit per minute and the distance is ~ half meter.
That's around the capabilities of a toilet flush sensor.
But the flush sensor still wins.

I feel being robbed off by ten precious minutes :doh:

Ps.: by the way, how is this different from smoke signals? Just askingo:)

Thread 'Windows 10 Now Not Supported'

Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled. If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...
