we could talk about tech news yeah
yeah we could talk about tech news Dell has made some good computers in
their day ever heard of the Optiplex The
xbx Notebook Marcus never heard it doesn't know about
computers well the company's Precision 7 Series Laptops look pretty good as well
except for one small problem they've got
a proprietary memory connector According to some leaked presentation slides
courtesy of igpu extremist on Twitter so
it looks like you will be able to upgrade these laptops ddr5 memory but
only using Dell's probably overpriced compression attached memory modules or
cams this along with Dell's proprietary
GPU modules makes the company just a little bit more like apple they're not
gonna hug you bro it does look like Dell's system could allow scaling laptop
memory up to 128 gigabytes which is great but if you put scalable in front
of Cam you get scam
you don't need that much RAM Elon Musk confirmed on Twitter that Tesla will no
longer include the mobile connector accessory by default with new vehicle
purchases because quote usage statistics were super low so seemed wasteful wait
sorry it seemed wasteful to include the thing that lets owners of an electric
vehicle charge it with a regular wall outlet the it just seem like more people
wanted to spend 500 bucks on a wall connector so you can still buy the mobile
connector separately musk said they're lowering the price to 200 though it's
still listed on Tesla's site at 275 and also is out of stock so maybe that
contributed to this decision I mean the usage statistics showed that people just
aren't using the mobile connector because we're not making them anymore
so and smart home company insteon has
apparently shut down its office and servers without so much as an email to
its thousands of users removing functionality from their devices and
apps multiple Executives purged their LinkedIn accounts of any reference to
the company and some appear to have deleted their accounts entirely
thankfully the insteon community has figured out some plugins and workarounds
that can keep the lights on but the incident serves as a warning
against investing in the wrong smart home company thankfully the industry
seems to be moving more towards open and interoperable standards like matter
instead of the proprietary technology that insteon was known for of course

we could definitely do some quick bits a report from Insider claims Microsoft may
allow Brands to display ads in free to play Xbox games but they wouldn't take a
cut of the ad Revenue it seems like the strategy is just to attract more
free-to-play game developers towards the Xbox platform which is which is great
more soulless microtransaction infested multiplayer games that's what Xbox needs
I mean they did just buy a bunch of massive Studios so these ad written
games will balance out the deeper single player games you don't want too many of
those this too much quality the hackers that stole more than 600
million dollars worth of cryptocurrency from the nft game axi Infinity were
based in North Korea according to the FBI North Korea's Lazarus group has
reportedly been responsible for stealing over 1 billion dollars in crypto in
recent years contributing greatly to the country's economy
and your parents tell you to get a real job some leaks are making it seem like
Twitter's upcoming edit button could include functionality to display a
tweet's history after it's been edited which could delay some concerns about
the feature being used to hide bad takes who knows maybe this will normalize the
idea that it's okay to change your mind about stuff

Kaiju while playing it you might experience some feelings of quaintness
Whimsy and a recent paper published in
nature describes how scientists at the Wiese Center in Germany managed to fit a
brain computer interface onto a man with complete locked in syndrome meaning he
was entirely paralyzed which allowed him to learn to compose simple messages
using only his thoughts he was able to communicate with his son and even asked
for specific Foods now some of you are hearing this and thinking whoa a way to
