Microsoft's Xbox Streaming Stick is back on the menu as they've recently
confirmed they are heading back to the drawing board ditching last year's
design in favor of a new approach for delivering Xbox cloud gaming to users

their new device codename Keystone not to be confused with the oil pipeline
sweet sweet oil the chromecast-like Streaming Stick aims to bring Xbox
gaming to not only those who can afford an Xbox console but to any and everyone
who can afford a high-speed broadband connection a little bit broader the
Streaming Stick is Microsoft's push to deliver a more consistent and accessible
cloud gaming experience and should be available in the next 12 months plus it
sounds so much more cozy and friendly you know to say you're cloud gaming
especially when you're teabagging your enemies corpse and valorin it's so
relaxing I play the game to relax yeah AMD has corrected some power
specifications for its socket am5 for
ryzen 7000. the company announced that its five nanometer ryzen 7000s would
have a 170 watt TDP and PPT which is the
highest power the CPU can pull under load that wasn't great news for AMD fans
hoping for Ultra powerful New Horizons that would blow Intel awake oh geez but
it turns out AMD made a little missed well well since they bleed like the rest
of us good thing Dr Sue is a doctor she's going to patch things right up AMD
issued a correction stating that am5 supports up to 170 watt TDP with a PPT
up to 230 Watts which appears to be more
in line with what people were expecting big PP this should of course enable
considerably more PP excuse me performance for High Core count CPUs

misusing two-factor authentication data is nothing sacred the social media

violated an FTC order from 2011 which
banned the company from deceptively misrepresenting its security and privacy
practices by collecting and profiting off of users data we love doing that
Elon Musk tweeted out if Twitter was not truthful here what else is not true
other than my fake offered by the company could be a simulation I mean who
would think that a company that makes most of its money through advertising
could be associated with people's personal data you must be kidding me
haha Twitter is alleged to have misused phone numbers and other sensitive
information to Target advertising at its users after telling its users that it
would only be used for security purposes at least according to the claim the good
news is that I'm sure that this fine will deter Twitter and other
multi-billion dollar corporations from continuing to run roughshod over
