oh look at you with your little mobile device or computer and your cute hairdo
coming in here to get caught up with the tech news that song
Apple's recent troubles with selling Macs are even worse than everyone
thought an IDC report claims that Max shipments in the first three months of
this year were down 40 percent compared to q1 last year and that's even worse
than PC shipments overall which were down by about 30 percent Market analysts
are trying to determine a possible cause for the dip occurring at a time when
breakfast cereal costs more than your hourly wage but so far
nothing checks out Apple admitted to investors last week that its overall
Revenue had dropped five percent compared to this time last year which
isn't much but hear me out it might be time for Microsoft to strike because
according to people on Reddit Windows on ARM runs kind of well now I
haven't paid attention to it since 2021 when an M1 MacBook ran Windows 10 in a
virtual machine better than the flagship ARM-powered surface but now Windows 11
apparently has great ARM support to the point where processor maker amperes new
128 core Ultra dev kit supports Windows
it might need all 128 of those cores to
keep up with a Macbook but do we want to buy the two thousand dollar dev kit or
wait until MacBook airs are more expensive than that we want to wait yeah
okay I'll drop it yeah one of YouTube's wacky experiments from last year has
actually come to fruition with enhanced bitrate 1080p for YouTube premium
members rolling out first on iOS and while this might seem lame to
non-preamsters would you rather have the 20 ads in front of a video we should be
thanking YouTube for enacting one of the less garbage ones furthermore the
premium 1080p experience apparently is in fact being enhanced over and above
the non-premium peasant stinky normal
1080p quality which is not being degraded YouTube found a way to make
their platform better but only for those willing to pay a monthly subscription
I thought I heard someone say Twitter actually if YouTube's following elon's
lead here's an idea let YouTube premium subscribers see dislike counts again
would make bullying people easier but you paid for the privilege so and MSI
has confirmed it was the victim of a Cyber attack last week ransomware group
money message claimed responsibility and said it was able to steal source code
and BIOS firmware for which it wants MSI
to pay 4 million to recover so they figured you know after we do a hack we
send a message asking for money so we thought hey you know money message you
know it's amazing it's unclear whether the hackers thought about their plan as much as
their name though because even if MSI did pay the ransom there's no way to
ensure the hackers don't copy the data and exploit it so MSI still has to
invalidate a bunch of certificates and rewrite stuff anyway I should have gone
with inconvenience message
MSI is urging users to only download firmware slash BIOS updates from its
official website but maybe hold off updating your BIOS for a little bit just
to make sure you're getting the good one and not the one made to look Legit by
the guys who apparently also took advice from elon's revamped plan for blue check
marks it doesn't doesn't make a lot of sense now it's time for quick bids

tackling and use code techlinked to get 50 off your purchase once again I would
like to clarify that the following five shorter stories are what we call the
quick bits some people have been confused about that for years which I
will not apologize for some leaks about
NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 470 have come up
including images of the card's dual slot design it's reported release date of
April 13th and it's reported MSRP of 599
USD as some fans are pointing out though the expected performance gains over
previous generations are not that impressive for the price unless you saw
digital foundry's recent demo of the new Ray tracing overdrive mode in cyberpunk
2077 and thought I would pay any price
to see the makeshift Burrows constructed by the disadvantaged street people of a
future dystopia illuminated with greater Fidelity Tesla is facing a class action
complaint triggered by the news last week that the company's employees shared
customers private sensitive videos using an internal messaging system and even
made memes out of the footage the lawsuit is being filed in California by
the law firm's Fitzgerald Joseph and bloodhurst and o'riordan is bloodhurst
with Fitzgerald or the other woman hopefully this hopefully this suit goes
somewhere because at this point we've seen enough examples of companies telling you that they don't we don't
look at your private stuff and then it coming out that oh oh yes actually they
they totally do uh should probably lead to something other than us making jokes
about it Nintendo is still pushing hard for that worst gaming company trophy
their latest effort involves subpoenaing subpoenaing Discord for the personal
information of the user who leaked images from the art book for the
upcoming Legend of Zelda tears of the Kingdom Nintendo has demanded any info
that could identify the user name phone number email address regular hair salon
mother's place of work because they'd like to uh you know
deliver a gift The subpoena comes right after the
company dmca videos from YouTuber Point crow about cool Nintendo related stuff
like the breath of the wild multiplayer mod that just released look Nintendo is
just worried about you liking their games too much just play the normal
games on the normal switch okay that way
can't get hurt like they did
Amazon has banned The Flipper zero a gadget used by tinkerers to hack garage
doors computers or basically anything from sale on its Marketplace because
according to Amazon it's a card skimming device which is not true unless you do
use it for that because you probably could to be fair to Amazon the device's
Aesthetics are a bit baby's first hacking tool so they're probably worried
kids might order it with their parents credit card and they ain't going anywhere near that you can still get the
flipper zero on its website or enjoy it vicariously through LTT's recent video
and Discord is in even more trouble because turns out government documents
that detailed the US and NATO's plans for a Ukrainian counter-offensive leaked
first in an unofficial Minecraft Discord server
the documents then showed up on 4chan being posted by users trying to win an
argument yeah it's okay War Thunder forums this one isn't on you it's on
other people that apparently don't understand that posting classified documents to own the other guy is maybe
not worth it just for the internet cloud I mean you did you did get them though
definitely won that back and forth that was nice
and you could win a whole new set of tech news if you come back on Wednesday
it takes some time to parse through what the government says we're allowed to
tell you and what we're not so we just need something a few days
