Обзор корпуса Gamemax F36: компоновка с верхним блоком питания снова в моде?

На рынке Mini-Tower’ов сейчас настоящая чехарда. Кажется, все подряд выпускают почти одинаковые «коробки» с сеткой спереди, стеклянной стенкой и вечной борьбой за сантиметры внутри. Выделиться сложно. На первый взгляд GameMax F36 – это очередной Mini-Tower с фронтальной вентиляционной решеткой, стеклом сбоку и демократичным ценником. Таких на Ozon и Wildberries десятки, различаются только углы скосов да количество предустановленных вентиляторов. Впрочем, F36 цепляет совсем не кричащим дизайном, а парой нест Read more

Как работает передача данных в радиоэфире: прогоняем картинки с котиками через ресурсную сетку

Пространство вокруг нас заполнено радиоволнами: телефоны, роутеры и тысячи других устройств непрерывно обмениваются данными по воздуху. Каждый раз, когда телефон получает сообщение, загружает видео или картинку, где-то рядом базовая станция раскладывает поток бит по времени и частотам, превращая данные в радиосигнал. Спецификации LTE и 5G обычно написаны «для своих». Чтобы разобраться в них, приходится глубоко погружаться в физику, математику и обработку сигналов. Но мир телекома слишком красив, чтобы прята Read more
