in Canada it's not President's Day today it's either Family Day Islander day
Heritage day or Louis Riel Day depending on the province we thought about asking
everyone to do the same thing but that seemed a bit rude apple is planning some significant
changes to its Mac lineup this year according to a report from usually
pretty accurate Apple leaker Man Mark German Mark claims 2022 will be the year
Apple sticks the M1 Pro and M1 Max in a
Mac Mini and iMac Pro and a half-sized Mac Pro and if you think all the Max and
Pros are already getting confusing don't worry watch Mac Address is short and
it'll all make sense nice which is of course to say it won't fit
fittingly German also says this year of mostly twos will see the arrival of
Apple's M2 Chip in a 13-inch MacBook Pro a MacBook Air a Mac Mini and a 24-inch
iMac the chip itself is expected to have the same 8 core CPU architecture but
with a couple more Graphics cores and faster clocks while the itsy bitsy
version of the Mac Pro could have up to 40 CPU cores and 128 Graphics cores but
Mark's not sure which Mac is coming first we'll probably find out in a few
weeks at Apple's March 8th event or sooner if someone else happens to
surpass Mark's skills at pondering his orb I want that orb nft Marketplace
openc reported on the weekend that someone took their name a little bit too
literally and decided to go fishing with a pH apparently 17 users were tricked
into authorizing the transfer of their nfts to the Fisher who ended up snagging
hundreds of tokens worth around 1.7 million dollars altogether
man I wouldn't want to be those Apes right now sitting in some cold wallet
waiting to be invalidated
that's not a life though the attack was carried out during Open Seas migration
to its new wyvern smart contract system the platform CEO Devin finzer said that
it's not a network issue as it looks like the fishing took place out in
uncharted waters not the Open Sea website itself proving that crypto is
still more secure than regular currency even though the way that most people
interact with it is still going to be through a platform with a username and password
it makes sense somehow and after being banned from Twitter Donald Trump has
launched truth social his own social media app with Blackjack and whoa
we might not be able to say that as one might expect though the truth of the
word launched is in contention here Trump was expected to delay the truth
social launch to March but apparently really wanted to go live on President's
Day his day and so the app evidently was
not ready for a massive influx of users who were largely met by failed signup
attempts before being placed on a wait list behind over a hundred and fifty
thousand others to make matters worse Twitter users pointed out that the truth
social logo looks almost identical to that of the solar panel company treylar
who may be pursuing legal action hopefully Trump can DM his wife about
the app's problems though that might be difficult since she signed a deal with
the also free speech-oriented social platform parlor to provide exclusive
Communications hopefully the wait list gets shortened soon so we can finally
find out the truth of what the heck is going on out there there's what what is

Activision has rolled out a frankly awesome way of discouraging cheaters in
Call of Duty Warzone if the game detects a cheater it completely Nerfs their
bullets essentially giving non-cheaters a legitimate god mode cheat to use
against the cheaters it's brilliant because it's less fun to imagine a
cheater being locked out of the game and more fun to run straight at them from
across the map and execute them yourself oh you want an easy mode what do you
think this is Super Mario get the out of here so that's a win for
Activision but epic games showing them up a little bit by announcing that it's
offering hundreds of its contract workers including QA testers full
employment with Benefits the move comes after a worker walkout at Activision
subsidiary Raven software a couple months ago since then Activision has
suppressed worker attempts at unionization reportedly even moving QA
testers to multiple different departments leaving things wide open for
epic to do what they do best and capitalize on a marketing opportunity
while also helping people I don't know how to feel more evidence pointing to
the arrival of gaming Chromebooks has popped up in the form of a code change
in chromium referencing Steam support this clue follows a recent code
reference to RGB keyboards and Google actually said it would bring steam to
Chromebooks two years ago so it's not that far-fetched can't wait to see
performance on a gaming Chromebook myself pretty sure putting Chrome on
things makes them faster that's how it works for cars
Instagram is increasing the minimum time limit that you can set for yourself in
their app to 30 minutes since announcing the optional time limits back in 2018
you could set a limit as low as five minutes to protect yourself but I guess
Facebook is getting a little concerned that people are becoming a bit too
mentally healthy by spending more time away from the app and well they got to
keep them on there longer thankfully iOS and Android have app time limit options
at the system level so don't get sucked into the metaverse just yet
and I'm sorry but if you were stoked about copywriting a brilliant work of
art generated by your pet AI algorithm we're just not there yet as a society
the U.S copyright office has rejected artists and scientists Stephen toler's
request to copyright an image on behalf of an algorithm he created called
creativity machine the office declared copyrighted Works must have an element
of human authorship so there you have it robots not people yet creativity machine
