who likes Tech news we wear short
shorts you know what I mean Chrome and chromium based browsers like Edge are
allowing Google's domains access to full system information including your CPU
GPU and memory usage through a built-in Chrome extension you'd think the worst
part is that you can't see or disable this extension but personally I like
that it's been a part of the code for the past decade big thanks to developer
Luca Casado for letting everyone know on Twitter so we can all give thanks to the
great Google machine's monopolistic practices Google says this is all just
to help improve the user experience so they can optimize audio and video
configurations based on system capabilities and to provide data on
crashes or performance issues but if that's the case then surely they'd be
open to sharing this data with their competitors right I mean they'd never do
anything to get a leg up over the little guy like harvesting data to improve
their own digital meeting software without telling Zoom or other services
not owned by anyone at abcxyz that's alphabet's real URL BTW
but hold on to your initialisms because AT&T has finally told the public that
there was a massive data breach from May to October of 2022 also there was a
smaller breach in January 2020 but don't worry about that one small one small
potatoes the hack exposed the tech and call records of just about every
cellular and landline customer in that time frame thankfully it doesn't include
timestamps durations or any of the contents of the texts or calls oh good I
was worried for a minute that everyone would be able to see how desperate my text look at 1:00 a.m. on Friday night
Taco Bell didn't even reply now AT&T found out about the breach back in April
but after disclosing it to the justice department the company was told to delay
this information not once but twice the
data was stored on servers owned by cloud data company snowflake whose
incredible cyber security prowess is also responsible for the ticket master
hack good job guys but snowflake isn't
really the bad guy according to snowflake they say the blame is on its
customers for not using multiactor authentication to secure their accounts
but don't worry AT&T says the data isn't publicly available yet it's just in the
hands of some hackers who are allegedly financially motivated nothing to worry
about there easy breezy just like how NVIDIA is financially motivated to make
the RTX 590 as expensive as possible the
rumor mill is talking about 28 GB of gd7
memory a ton of Cuda cor and a whopping
2.9 GHz base clock all of this while
getting smaller allegedly housing this horsepower on a TW slot dual fan card
most people can fit that in their machines what a concept what ways to
make money will they think of next selling a6000 to power the Las Vegas
sphere oh wait that's exactly what they
did with 150 of the cards being used to pump out three layers of 16k resolution
content at 60 frames per second at a real thing that real people spent real
money on it's Vegas baby what do you think reason comes into
the equation they specialize in 5-second weddings for the record that's nearly
$700,000 worth of gpus with 1.6 million
cacor and 7200 GB of total vram from AI
to gaming rigs to Giant video spheres is there anything Team Green can't do well

get over here where' you get off to go back many old school Apple Fans have
fond memories of The Unofficial Apple web blog which was shuttered by AOL
nearly a decade ago in a growes
development it seems that the old domain has been acquired and revived through
through Unholy necromancy and the site is now pumping out AI plagiarized news
articles and stolen Graphics under the by lines of its former
staff it's alive and it's copying
literally everyone else bizarrely the website's new owner didn't buy any of
the old content but claims its staff has meticulously Rewritten the SES archived
content despite its writing staff apparently consisting of a bunch of
stolen names and AI generated profile pictures sounds like my girlfriend
she lives in another country never met her once in my life but she asked me beautiful questions like what's your
social insurance number what's your mother's maiden name if you've ever
dreamed of hopping in your Sky car and flying off to work the future might be
closer than you think a few companies like Archer Joby and volocopter are all
vine to be the first to offer EV tools or electric vertical takeoff and Landing
aircrafts as short-range air taxis for some major airlines as an alternative to
driving those pesky medium distance trips we could see them fing about the
wealthy as early as the Paris Olympics later this month I can't wait to take a
rich guys toss soda cup to the Dome from a few hundred fet in the air at least
it'll be smaller cuz it's France they don't let you have the jumbo sizes Us
sales of the Apple Vision Pro are basically dead market analysis firm IDC
says the headset hasn't sold 100,000 units in a quarter since its February
launch and it faces a 75% drop in domestic sales this current quarter the
IDC also reports a 67.4 drop in VR / AR
headsets across the board which mostly affects VR The Firm actually predicts
bigger acceptance for mixed reality headsets moving forward which makes it a
great time for The Vision Pro to launch in Canada starting at just $5,000
Canadian dollars an FTC study into the use of
manipulative design techniques used to trick consumers has determined that a
majority of the over 600 websites studied used one or more of these
so-called dark patterns but the release this kind of report likely means the FTC
is actually planning to do something about the fact that Jeff Bezos
personally signed your grandma up for 12 separate Auto renewing subscriptions for
flea medication for a cat she doesn't have
whiskers whiskers that's your grandma calling for
a cat she doesn't have and scientists have built a space suit to recycle
astronaut P inspired by the still suits from Dune this is why science is the
best you don't see an art student doing this while the International Space
Station already has a recycling system that solution misses out on all the
liquid gold expended during space walks which last 6 hours on average that's a
lot of peee time and spacewalk times will only get longer during NASA's
upcoming Artemis 2 and 3 missions the new system is worn as a backpack filters
of the urine into 99% pure water and then adds electrolytes via a flavored
powder and pumps it into an insit drink bag for easy sipping they be pissing
Gade hell yeah they did my son's an astronaut he makes his
own own Gatorade but it's still not as easy as getting your next Taste of tech
news just come back here on Monday and don't pee
yourself maybe use a toilet
