In recent years, almost nothing has been heard about projects related to Hyperloop. First, the pandemic prevented all plans, then a shortage of semiconductors struck. But the idea itself, of course, has not gone away. And including she is still interested in Elon Musk.

Elon Musk wants to make another revolution.  His The Boring Company will try to build a working Hyperloop branch in the coming years

Recall that it was Musk who first spoke about “vacuum trains” as something real almost 10 years ago, saying that he himself would not deal with the project. But a few years later, he still connected his company The Boring Company with this idea. And now Musk is talking about Hyperloop again, tweeting that The Boring Company will try to build a “vacuum train” branch in the coming years.

In the coming years, Boring Co will try to build a working Hyperloop. In terms of physics, this is the fastest way to get from one city center to another at a distance of less than ~2000 miles. Starship is faster for long distance travel

Interestingly, in this case, Musk said that his company would try. Usually in such statements he is much more confident.

Separately, we can note the information that appeared a couple of days ago in the next press release of The Boring Company. There, the company said that it was creating the Prufrock-3 drilling machine, which would be able to lay up to 11.3 km of tunnels per day! In comparison, the company’s current car (Prufrock-2) is only 1 mile per week.

The culprits behind the rise in price of the GeForce

As you know, from the moment it became known that supplies of GeForce RTX 4090 video cards to China would be prohibited, adapters have risen sharply in price in China itself, but prices have also increased in the USA and Europe. Now those responsible have been found. At least partly.

There are reportedly unscrupulous sellers who do not sell their RTX 4090 in their countries, but stockpile them for resale to China. Of course, because of the double or more markups, you can make very good money on this. Of course, such actions lead to a shortage of adapters in a particular market, increased demand and, as a result, higher prices. At least this is what sellers in Vietnam do, but probably not only there.

Prices in the USA and Europe have recently risen to 2000 dollars/euro for the most affordable options, and are not going to go down yet.

Let us remind you that Chinese craftsmen began to convert the GeForce RTX 4090 into accelerators for AI, and now they have even created the RTX 3080 20GB and Radeon RX 580 16GB.
