" 近年高通都是以每年一大更新的步伐来推出旗舰处理器，不过今年就似乎有所改变呢。他们最新发布骁龙 855 Plus 处理器，在与 S855 同样的八核 Kryo 485 CPU 配置下，带来更高的 2.96GHz 频率，配合 Adreno 640 GPU，可以带来 15% 的速度提升。
这次的 S855+ 升级幅度只有提速，配备的也只是 LTE modem，仍未有 5G 连线的能力，可见高通在这次的升级上相当保守。想当然耳，因为高通表示 S855+ 会马上开始出现在 2019 年下半的旗舰新机上，所以规格进步太快但…" https://cn.engadget.com/2019/07/15/qualcomm-snapdragon-855-plus-vr/

" 你还在用 Windows 7 吗？这下可要注意了：微软再次提醒，距离终止支持的日子只剩下最后半年的时间，从明年 1 月 14 日起，Windows 7 用户将无法再接收技术支持、安全性更新或修正程序，将用户曝露在危险中。企业与机构客户可以付费再延长期限三年，但一年会比一年贵喔。
依照 Statcounter 的资料（不知道有多可信），虽然 Windows 10 在中国的比例在缓步提升，但大多是取代逐渐下滑的 Windows XP，Windows 7 依然不受影响。目前大约是 Windows 7 占 51%、Wi…" https://cn.engadget.com/2019/07/15/psa-windows-7/

" NASA 宣布了将出资 7,370 万美元，与一间名为 Made in Space, Inc 的公司合作，试验由卫星自己 3D 列印自己的太阳能板。这专案属于 NASA「Tipping Point」计划的一部份，由 NASA 资助民间企业，开发与太空产业相关的技术。
3D 列印对太空活动的意义及重要性自然无需多言，最主要的就是太空站所需的补给品，特别是备用的零件可以不用存放在太空站上，而是须要什么就做什么就好了。但 Made in Space 的野心可不仅止于此 —— 他们是真的想要在太空中从无到有打造出卫星或…" https://cn.engadget.com/2019/07/15/nasa-backs-3d-printed-spacecraft-part-demo/
