PhotosKey takeaways:Conventional transistors are expected to reach their maximum energy efficiency by 2037, yet demand for computing power continues to grow. New devices made of combined ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials (magnetoelectric multiferroics) could radically improve the speed and energy efficiency of computer processors and also add memory capability. The DARPA-funded research is led by University of Michigan Engineering and includes partners from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Newswise — An alternative to the transistor could make computers 100 to 1,000 times faster and more energy efficient, according to a team of researchers from University of Michigan Engineering and the University of Wisconsin, funded with up to $6M from the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency Fast and Curious program. The new device—which the researchers call an M3BOLT—could go beyond the theoretical energy-efficiency limits of today's computers. Modern transistors are expected to reach that limit by 2037, yet the boom in AI and edge computing will continue to raise the demand for computing power.

The OMM Axle Pack V2 Is Lighter and Has a New Look - BIKEPACKING.com
Old Man Mountain has updated its Axle Pack for the first time since its initial release. The brand claims the system is now 20 percent lighter and more aesthetically pleasing than the original. Find out more about this update below… For the first time since it introduced the Axle Pack in 2024, Old Man Mountain is updating its small cargo-carrying system. The brand says it slightly reworked the OMM Axle Pack V2’s aesthetic and cut the weight by 20%, bringing the system down to just 59 grams. Winner of a 2024 Gear of the Year Award, the Axle Pack requires its thru-axle fit kit and adds significant cargo capacity. From suspension forks to carbon ones with limited load capacity, the Axle Pack is a great tool for anyone who needs more capacity.

Having Windows Outlook access problems? An update might have caused it. - Mashable
Microsoft may have borked Outlook for some folks with a new Windows update. Specifically, a Windows Server security update has caused access issues for Outlook on some Exchange Server systems, according to a Microsoft security note (cited by BleepingComputer). This is specifically affecting systems running Windows Server 2019 and later, per Microsoft. As a result, users may not be able to access Outlook, or sent messages might just remain in the Outlook outbox without actually going anywhere. There is no firm fix for this problem just yet. Microsoft says that the severity of the problem will differ from server to server, with some not encountering any problems at all. In a different post, Microsoft urged users not to uninstall the problematic update, instead offering a workaround:

NVIDIA DGX Spark 64GB’s Low Price-Point Aims To Accelerate Local AI Inference - The Futurum Group
NVIDIA will introduce a 64GB DGX Spark configuration through six manufacturer partners on October 23, starting at $4,999. The system retains the larger model’s compute architecture and software stack, while NVIDIA Sync simplifies clustering and local model deployment. Its value depends on how buyers balance memory capacity, development requirements, and the higher prices now affecting the DGX Spark lineup. DGX Spark 64GB availability, pricing, and retained hardware capabilities.
