please sir i want some more wait more
in case you're still thinking that the actions being taken by governments and
companies to punish russia for invading ukraine aren't really that big of a deal
let me tell you we are now dealing with no less than a digital iron curtain
separating russia from the rest of the world in response to basically every
western global corporation halting their russian operations russia has now
completely blocked facebook they block twitter some major news outlets they
blocked major app stores and demanded that google block ads that misinform the
russian public about the situation in ukraine in response google just
suspended all ads in russia yeah they don't need that russia money
russia also blocked the bbc's website so the network has begun broadcasting using
that classic wartime technology shortwave radio fm baby it's a brave
thing to continue broadcasting at all given that putin just signed a law that
will punish journalists with up to 15 years in prison for publishing what the
government calls fake news but at least the cyber curtain
won't extend to the foundations of the internet with icann the association that
maintains web domain protocols refusing ukraine's request to cut russia off from
the rest of the internet if that happened
how would putin ever see all the great hitler beams on reddit they're gonna be
good are those porches the spaces made of dicks i haven't seen those yeah you
haven't lived pc integrator artesian build suffered
from a scandal of its own making this week when they hosted a free pc giveaway
for the company's brand ambassadors but then withheld the prize because the
company's ceo decided live on stream that the ambassador that was chosen
didn't have enough subscribers here is noah belittling her social media
all followers combined still under 5k
even across multiple socials i was trying to be generous that's a tough one
and then here is noah happily re-rolling the giveaway winner and there's the
rewall this led to severe backlash from the streaming community with some creators
finding evidence that artesian may be guilty of tax evasion and throttling its
pcs due to inadequate cooling those are equally
transgressive transgressions whoopsies you can't just
change the rules mid-contest artesian tried to do damage control and offered
kia pia a free pc but she declined and jay's two cents
went and built her a pc anyway because he's a gentleman and a scholar
the lesson from all this live streaming can be dangerous
if you're a butthole speaking of holes of the butt variety it appears nintendo
is behind a wave of takedowns targeting youtube videos that showcase the steam
deck's ability to emulate switch and wii games because despite being a video game
company nintendo kind of seems to hate fun you can have fun but only in this
way only in your childhood it's one thing to crack down on websites
that host roms those are nintendo's intellectual property and nintendo does
have a legal right to restrict their distribution but running an emulator
doesn't infringe on nintendo's rights it just makes nintendo look bad because
emulators are the only accessible way to play many nintendo games when the
company removes them from sale piracy is bad

unannounced get out of here give us a call samsung was accused earlier this
week of throttling the performance over 10 000 Android apps including
non-gaming apps using the game optimizing service pre-installed on
their phones benchmarking apps were missing from the list and samsung really
cares about letting you know how fast its phones can go in unrealistic
situations that you'll never encounter because every other app is throttled
thanks samson the company has responded saying it will issue a patch allowing
users to control the performance of games but it didn't address the fact
that non-game apps are affected too and
also wait you're just gonna turn the throttling off because you we found out
about it you're just so you got caught you're not sorry system is working
electric truck maker maker rivien has thrown itself into reverse after a
massive backlash over its sudden price hike for pre-orders placed before march
1st what new pre-orders will be subject to the
increased price a change the company said it made in response to inflationary
pressure and higher component costs they got us again to be fair they had no
way of knowing this was kind of a shady thing to do until after half their
customers threatened to cancel their orders
they had no idea in other vehicle news sony's vision
concept vehicles gloves rolling out at ces may actually roll out in the real
world thanks to tires to thanks to new partnership with honda

after various motherboard manufacturers found a way around Intel's firmware
blocking support for the avx-512 instruction set the company has
confirmed it will literally destroy a fuse in upcoming alder lake processors
to prevent avx 512 from ever being used
it's that dangerous they're protecting you
to be fair Intel does have valid reasons for not supporting the technology
which is only used in rare instances anyway but intentionally kneecapping
your own ship is just cruel and that
is the t and veteran tech journalist dita bonn is
leaving the verge to work on google's platforms and ecosystems team which
