a day without Tech news is like a day without vitamin C it's fine to skip once
or twice but eventually all your teeth are going to fall out in an astounding
moment of unity meta Microsoft Twitter
and match group have come together in a joint filing to support epic games in
its legal fight against Apple it's like the Super Friends and match group owners
of Tinder and hge is very much the Aquaman according to the new filing
Apple's current plan addresses NE neither the letter nor the spirit of the
2021 California antitrust case that required Apple to allow alternate
payment systems on its platform in the first place indeed according to the
League of Extraordinary corporations Apple has imposed numerous ownis
requirements before developers can even be eligible to include an external
payment link with their app Apple has been on the receiving end of a lot of
recent regulatory scrutiny but the company's responses have been complex
and Case by case a combination of malicious compliance strategic
concessions and involving themselves in the regulatory process Apple heavily
supported California's model right to repair legislation which contains carv
outs for favorite Apple tactics such as Parts pairing and today the company
launched a new documentation page with extensive links to user guides repair
manuals and software downloads now following the ITC Banning the import of
several models of the Apple watch for patent infringement apple is lobbying to
change the rules governing the ITC and
to limit its power I mean there Corporation you can't regulate Apple not
if Apple regulates you
first do yeah in a recent interview with
Lex fredman openai CEO Sam ultman
claimed that his company's upcoming GPT 5 model will be as much a jump forward
from the current GPT 4 model as GPT 4 was from gpt3 saying that GPT 4's
current capabilities kind of suck compared to where they need to be need
to be for what to quote one of our nation's greatest philosophical Minds
Shenia Twain that don't impress me much
these are bold claims especially considering that Business Insider is
reporting that GPT 5 could launch as soon as this Summer according to their
sources close to the company of course the model is apparently still undergoing
training and could be delayed for any number number of reasons like if it
proves to be too inaccurate or if it starts talking about human beings as
worms Unworthy of witnessing its Radiance it's happened before and
there's at least some reason to think that open AI isn't being as careful as
it could be with its newest products like the GPT store which since launching
in January has become an unmoderated fire hose of low effort knockoffs and
potential copyright infringement just like its dad chat
GPT NVIDIA's Blackwell b200 00 the
world's most powerful chip unveiled by CEO Jensen Wong on Monday will
reportedly use the same tsmc process as
the upcoming RTX 50 series of gaming
graphics cards which most of us are more excited about since the loan required to
buy them is a bit smaller it's just one kidney Michael what could it cost
somewhat reliable leaker copy 7 Kimmy tweeted that the GP 202 the chip rumored
to power the RTX 590 will be built like
the AI focused v200 on the tsmc 4N node
which is not a 3 nmet node like all the
rumors said but it's also not a 4 nanometer node It's actually an NVIDIA
exclusive derivative of tsmc's 5 nanometer process because this is Chip
manufacturing where everything's made up and the meters don't matter regardless
Professor copit which is what I like to say says the Blackwell chips should
feature a 30% increase in transistor density which I'm sure will more than
justify buying an RTX 590 instead of the
rivan r3x why do I want it so bad it's
so cool okay but hey at least it'll probably be cheaper than the b200 which
Jensen casually mentioned would cost 30 to
$40,000 about the price of a gallon of milk he thinks but he's not sure he
hasn't been to a grocery store in a while that guy probably doesn't know nearly as much about milk as we do but
ask him about leather jackets and oh boy now it's time for quick bits brought to
you by do let me tell you about little
Jimmy in his small business see he used to spend hours going door to door trying
to sell his alpaca themed keychains then one day he found her he could create a
free website with Odo thanks to odo's simple code free drag and drop elements
Jimmy's site was up and running in no time Odo even gave Jimmy unlimited
hosting reliable support and a free custom domain for an entire year now
Jimmy's kicking his feet up using all the time he saved working on his next
keychain idea llamas so be like Jimmy
visit below and start creating your free website today with Odo I didn't want to
reveal this but I have a terrible allergy to Quick bits I try to push
through the unbearable itching for you fine people at home okay enjoy it glass
door the platform for anonymously reviewing your employers has decided to
ditch the anonymously part without anyone's
consent this month a glass door user emailed customer support to get
information removed from her glass door account only for glass door support team
to take the real name she gave during correspondence and add it to her glass
door profile against her explicit wishes
apparently glass door is trying to integrate with networking site Fishbowl
which makes just perfect sense this was you uh bad mouthing your
previous employer right well I love your conviction it's kind of like dating the
best way to convince someone to go out with you is to complain about your ex
YouTube will now require creators to disclose whether their content is made
with altered or synthetic media including generative AI or at least
they're sort of doing that only realistic content something a viewer
could easily mistake for a real person place scene or event needs to be marked
if it is AI generated meanwhile sloppy AI animations meant to profit off of
YouTube's massive child audience I get a pass what did you expect YouTube to do
more than the bare minimum this must be your first day here welcome here's a
video about Elsa and spider man the Hackintosh is mostly dead I shouldn't
joke about this this is serious according to iOS Developer Alexander vat
if you don't know a Hackintosh is a non-apple computer or device running Mac
OS aka the best way to use macOS
ooh I don't know about that MacBooks are pretty good unfortunately the latest
version of the operating system has removed driver support for old Wi-Fi
cards which were the key ingredient to many functioning builds according to
vich personally I thought the Hackintosh Community would die when Apple switch
from Intel to their own silicon I guess I underestimated how far people would go
to not spend thousands on overpriced Hardware go figure tiny Corp makers of
the Tiny Box AI server system have given AMD a deadline of the end of this week
to open- Source its Radeon firmware or it might just decide to switch from
radon graphics cards to an NVIDIA or Intel alternative
yeah take that watch it Lisa this
follows extensive back and forth between the two companies and complaints from
Tiny Box that AMD's driver updates still
haven't addressed the bugs in their AI acceleration toolkit while NVIDIA
probably doesn't care Intel would probably be ecstatic to snatch up that
silver medal somebody use these that's rude people are using them and they like
them there are dozens of us and the White House is warning State Governors
about a Spate of attacks affecting America's critical dihydrogen monoxide
infrastructure not a Spate both freshwater and Wastewater
last month the cyber security and infrastructure agency revealed that
Chinese government-backed hackers had been hiding in critical infrastructure
networks for as long as 5 years among the pipes they were in the wall like in
Dune tried to kill my son trying to drink our water look I'm not saying that
your toilet is spying on you for the CCP but you need to be aware of the risk
but there's no risk in coming back on Friday for another episode of tech news
it will only affect your social credit score for the better
