when i close my eyes i see tech news
doctors can't explain it you're in big trouble dell is giving an early look at
some of its technological innovations ahead of ces including one that is less
innovation more a framework laptop the company's concept luna explores
revolutionary design ideas like making a laptop out of replaceable and repairable
components which no laptop manufacturer has ever tried to do ever wow
and that is cool seriously though it's great to see more manufacturers hop on
the sustainable bandwagon even if they can't help but use some steve jobs
inspired language however dell did show off some innovation with the concept
pari perry a wireless webcam that you can stick in the middle of a monitor to
simulate direct eye contact on video calls at least for the person on the
other end but after getting so used to zoom awkward eyes i don't know if i'm
ready for this kind of soul connection
just so much cool stuff happening at the edges of the screen
the right to repair tide continues to swell in a more positive direction with
microsoft announcing a partnership that will allow ifixit to sell official
microsoft service tools for surface devices however the tools won't be
directly available to purchase by consumers with only ifixit pro
independent repairs repairers it's a weird word you know
microsoft authorized service providers and microsoft experience centers and
also microsoft commercial customers being allowed to buy them a lot of
microsoft people there but this means customers will have many more options
for repair besides microsoft themselves which is something okay baby steps
because you're a little baby and you can't repair your own things unless it's
a special laptop made by dell i just pooped
on my laptop you'll pay for these modules damn it hell and Intel's roger

like a thin and light laptop use computing power from another device like
a gaming desktop over a home network boosting its performance it's not cloud
it's fog and they're including support for chips
made by their rivals like AMD and NVIDIA and because this is happening after
facebook changed their name of course Intel is saying it's for the metaverse
it's like how after we film i'm gonna go eat a sandwich for the metaverse
kaduri tie this in by saying metaverse experiences will need a thousand-fold
increase in hardware performance to run which i don't think is going to be
possible by hooking up your laptop to a desktop pc but i might be missing
something you know power of the swarm
i'll look more into it after i drive home tonight for the metaverse oh that's

have launched upwards of 840 000 attacks
since friday with researchers at checkpoint security at one point logging
more than 100 attacks a minute wow so now is the time to be extra careful

metaverse won't like in the future don't dress up as winnie the pooh
for the metaverse the washington post has published
presentation slides used by huawei to demonstrate their capability to surveil
minority groups and political individuals of interest like me to the
chinese government potentially validating widespread concerns over the
company's ties to beijing in a statement huawei said they had no knowledge of the
projects mentioned in the official huawei documents and then asked the post
where they were and what year was it and oh they're
headhurst it was on ambien

the criticism for making essentially head-mounted cameras before they try

almost never happens normally bathrooms are scary they're not safe
places gigabytes showed off a motherboard prototype called project stealth this
week that moves the motherboard's connectors to the back for much cleaner
cable management but as hot hardware points out this is remarkably similar to
a patent awarded to maingear back in 2011. well it's 10 years later baby and
someone had to make the pcs look less like cyberpunk spaghetti sure that
sounds cool but you can't eat it so what's the point gives you pads
these cables are al dente
