This week, I’m in Korea for the Seongnam International Medical Tourist Convention, learning about some startups in the medical field. One of these companies is VR Carver, a group that specializes in VR sports. Soccer, golf, and other extreme VR sports, including an intuitive Bobsled simulator

VR Carver is creating a prototype stationary bike that you can use when you cannot get out on the trail.

This bike will start as a standard stationary bicycle – for about $500, you’ll be able to exercise at home. The details are still being worked out – if it will compete with systems such as Peleton or just simple exercise bikes.

The VR version will cost around $2,500 and will allow you to see 360 degrees while you are getting your workout. To turn, simply lean into the turn.

You will be able to call up 360 video from different trails, or play games while you are exercising.

Seongnam International Medical Tourism Convention

This was part of the Seongnam-si SMC in South Korea. We saw some great companies that were creating new technologies for your health. Everything from robots to help you with your treatments, to new devices that improve skin care, rest well, learn CPR, and much more.

We interviewed companies, attended an International press conference, and awarded best of show products.

Other bloggers and reporters came from Le Cafe du Geek (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Flecafedugeek.fr%2F&sref=rss) (France), Yesky (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yesky.com%2F&sref=rss) (China), Vietnam Plus (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.vietnamplus.vn%2F&sref=rss) (Vietnam), My Fat Pocket (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myfatpocket.com%2F&sref=rss) (Singapore), and Svpressa (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsvpressa.ru%2F&sref=rss) (Russia) to learn about how Korea is advancing medicine.

1999 – an ebay (http://www.geekazine.com/tag/ebay)user (litterally) puts 500 pounds of Marijuana on the auction block. The auction itself hits up to 10 million dollars. eBay finds out and pulls down the auction, but it does say something for the power of illegal drugs over the internet.

The Dos and Donts of RFP BenchmarksIn today’s show we only have Dan and Henry on deck, Shahin is away at the “HPC and AI on Wall Street (https://www.hpcandaionwallstreet.com/)” event where he’ll be hosting various panel discussions. But Dan and Henry soldier on with a discussion based on a recent, and fascinating, presentation by Tricia Balle of Cray at the HPC-AI Advisory Council (http://www.hpcadvisorycouncil.com/) event in Perth, Australia.The topic: Benchmarks in HPC Procurement Tenders. As Shahin said in the IO500 episode (originally about SPEC) "benchmarks specify the specious specter of our species", but in market whose middle name is "performance", they can be pretty much everything, and a real and critical part of the RFP/buying process. We discuss how benchmarks should and shouldn’t be used in RFPs, and the relevant best practices; important stuff whether you are on the customer side or the vendor side.You can see the entire presentation with slides here:Henry Newman's Why No One Should be Online, Ever.Dan comes up with a new label for the ever uplifting Feel Good Security Corner.  Henry talks about the Google security exploit, discovered in 2017 and finally getting fixed, that allows miscreants to take over your system through a combination of Google email and calendar applications. However, this isn’t so bad – it only potentially impacts 1.5 million users…oh, wait, that’s not correct, it impacts as many as 1.5 BILLION users…which makes it quite bad. Here’s a link to the story:Google To Fix Malicious Invites Issue For 1 Billion Calendar Users (https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2019/09/09/google-finally-confirms-security-problem-for-15-billion-gmail-and-calendar-users/)Way back in 2017, two researchers at Black Hills Information Security disclosed how a vulnerability in the Google Calendar app was leaving more than a billion users open to a credential-stealing exploit. Google apparently didn't fix this at the time as it would have caused "major functionality drawbacks" for Calendar users, despite those researchers demonstrating how they had weaponized the vulnerability at the Wild West Hackin' Fest.Catch of the WeekHenry discusses the Wired story below about how wifi almost didn’t happen. Most people probably don’t know that September 15th will mark the 20th anniversary of Wi-Fi. It was introduced to a room of 60 people at the Atlanta Convention Center, an understated announcement for a technology that would go on to change the world. The story is a very cool look at the history of Wi-Fi and how a little-known IEEE specification went on to become the standard vs. something called HomeRF, which was supported by IBM, HP, Intel, and Compaq.How Wi-Fi Almost Didn’t Happen (https://www.wired.com/story/how-wi-fi-almost-didnt-happen/)We all love Wi-Fi, except when we can’t connect. We take for granted being able to have wireless access at home and the office, on airplanes, in cafés around the globe, and if we'd be so lucky, floating on the International Space Station. But what if Wi-Fi hadn’t happened? It almost didn’t, at least not in the way we recognize it today.Listen in to hear the full conversation.Download the MP3 (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode245/RFHPC245_RFP-ProTips.mp3) * Subscribe on iTunes (http://bit.ly/WgEZzd) * RSS Feed (http://bit.ly/QXKy3V)Sign up for our insideHPC Newsletter (http://insidehpc.com/newsletter)(http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RadioFreeHpcPodcast/~4/ctxAZDQq7sU)

1994 – Microsoft (http://www.geekazine.com/tag/microsoft)releases the second version of the Windows NT OS – Windows NT 3.5 in two flavors; NT Workstation and NT Server. This replaced NT 3.1 and was the first Windows NT version to have a Server and Workstation version. NT 3.5 integrated Winsock and TCP/IP support for dial-up and networking. NT 3.5 also initiated FTP and LPR printer support. The VFAT option also allowed for naming conventions up to 255 characters.

This version was a problematic one, especially since it couldn’t install on a machine with a Pentium processor inside. Therefore, NT 3.5.1 was released in 1995 to supplement.

* Purple Codes broken* Red Hat 2.0 released* Large Hadron Collider to shut down

Apple iOS 13 is here and many are recommending to wait until 13.1 is released due to it’s unstable nature and some bugs. So buyer beware. I am down in Columbus for this show and will be in and out of here a lot over the next month. So hopefully I will get the video studio up and running in short order as well.
