Camera flash freezes Raspberry Pi 2

-

Numerous users have reported that their new Raspberry Pi 2 computer freezes when they take photos of it.
The Raspberry Pi 2 is a $35 credit card-sized computer, featuring a quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM, capable of running a variety of operating systems.

Even Microsoft is getting in on the Raspberry Pi 2 action, announcing that it will build a version of Windows 10 for the platform.

According to NeoWin, users on the Raspberry Pi forum have reported that using a Xenon flash when taking photos will cause the computer to freeze and then reboot.

The issue isn't a general flash issue however, as an LED flash will work fine.

The publication reported that the phenomenon isn't new, but that most manufacturers take extra steps to shield their chips. Hopefully the Raspberry Foundation rolls out updated hardware.

For the common plane passengers, their only concern is to buy the ticket that they need, get on the plane and wait until it has landed in their destination. Oftentimes, people take the plane and get off it without even bothering to know what type of aircraft it is. For the enthusiasts, details about the plane they are riding are really important. Truth is, knowing the aircrafts which companies use is actually necessary. This will help in determining safety and convenience for the passengers. With all the new aeronautical technologies and advanced engineering that we have these days, the list of airplane types and models continue to grow longer. But what are the ones which are commonly bought by airline companies? Here is a list of aircrafts which are built for commercial flights so the companies do not hesitate to invest in them. 10. Airbus A380 This is an aircraft which is manufactured by the Airbus Company. It is a plane which is widely used by airline companies like E...

Microsoft Edge just got a killer feature to beat Chrome and how to use it

Microsoft gets Google Chrome’s forced dark mode — here’s how to enable it Microsoft Edge has brought in the option to force a dark mode on web pages even if they don’t support it, giving it another feature to tempt people over from Google Chrome. Based on the same engine Chrome’s dark mode uses, Edge's version will change the color of a website’s background, text, and other elements on the page, effectively forcing a dark mode on to a site. For people who do a lot of evening web surfing, this forced dark mode will make flipping through web pages less of an eye strain. Google Chrome used to also force a dark mode onto websites, which was a feature of its Canary experimental browser that users had to enable. Google has since removed the option. But phones site MobiGyaan discovered such a feature is still in the Edge browser. However, it also has to be forcefully enabled as it doesn’t exist in a simple drop-down option or sub-menu in the browser. How to enable forced dark...

Ice ages made Earth's ocean crust thicker

Signatures of climate cycles spotted in hillocks on the sea floor. The Earth's ice ages have left their mark on the thickness of the planet's oceanic crust, scientists have discovered. During glacial periods, when sea levels are low, the magma that spreads out from mid-ocean ridges to form virgin crust wells up thick and fast. But the production of new crust is stunted in warmer times when sea levels are high, such as they are today. “We know that volcanism has an effect on climate. What we’re seeing is that climate cycles are also affecting ocean volcanism,” says Richard Katz, a geophysicist at the University of Oxford, UK, and one of the authors of the study, which is reported today in Science. The researchers say that they have spotted the effect in chains of hillocks under the sea between Australia and the Antarctic. The reason, Katz explains, is that higher sea levels exert a greater pressure on Earth’s mantle below the ocean floor. This seems to slow the tr...
