Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

Serbia will soon have the strongest supercomputer in the Balkans!

Serbia will soon have the strongest supercomputer in the Balkans!

By upgrading the "Paradox" supercomputer, Serbia will receive in the next few months the most powerful supercomputer in the Balkans, worth around one million euros!

Today, the "Paradox" supercomputer has 1,100 processors and operates at seven teraflops, which is 7,000 billion operations per second. With the upgrade, the computer will have 5,000 processors and will work at 40 teraflops, or 40,000 billion operations per second. It can currently store 60 terabytes (60,000 gigabytes) of data.

Paradox held the top spot as the strongest supercomputer in the Balkans, but the Turkish supercomputer took over that spot. However, the new advanced supercomputer "Paradox 4" will be twice as big and 5 times faster.

In Europe, there is a network of supercomputers that communicate with each other, and the host is CERN. It is used by asking a question from any other computer. The system then first checks whether the user is from research or commercial institution. The request is forwarded to hundreds of computers that themselves "check" where it is best to solve the task. Some answers then come from Russia, Turkey, Germany...

"Paradox" is currently mostly used by the Institute of Physics, the Astronomical Observatory, and the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology. It is also used by international institutions participating in the CERN project.

X96 Mini Android TV Box Review

I have already written an article about buying an Android TV Box for up to 30 euros, and now I am writing about one such device - the X96 Mini TV Box . There is not much to say about this device, its price is around 25 euros, it is an Android TV Box like any other, which means that it is powered by an Android system. Since I wrote about it in the previous article, I will not repeat myself. These cheaper TV Box devices differ mainly only in the chip, amount of RAM, and ROM memory. In the previous article, I wrote about what to pay attention to when choosing, and I chose this device that way.
