if tech news is spoken in an empty office building does it make a sound
classic philosophical dilemma there is no answer
tick tock has denied claims that its servers were breached over the weekend
after a group called against the west said that they had gotten a hold of 790
gigabytes worth of user data data data
and source code from both tick tock and wechat against the west
sounds like a rage cover band look it's the way bite dance said
they've seen no evidence of a breach while analyst troy hunt called the
leaked data a bit of a mixed bag with some of it appearing to be junk while
other parts looking like it could be used for testing
however some users in the data breaching community note that against the west
have been targeting chinese companies and other entities perceived as being
against the west for a while you see how that's that's how their name works and
they have breached things before okay it's not like they just found a public
google sheet and we're like ah we did a big hack yeah
so time will tell it's somewhat appropriate to note here that microsoft
just recently helped tick-tock patch a one-click exploit that could have let
hackers scrape just about anything they wanted which they could have used to
create the most powerful tick-tock trends of all time i don't even want to

there and network infrastructure company cloudflare has announced they have
blocked trolling forum kiwi farms after specific targeted threats were seen
escalating on the site in a 48-hour period cloudflare had been under intense
pressure to drop support for the forum by the hashtag drop kiwi farms social
campaign which highlighted the forum's contribution to online and real-life
harassment and bullying which in some cases led to suicide cloudflare
maintained that like their blocking of 8chan back in 2019 they had made this
decision because of the recent escalation in specific threats and not
directly because of the social campaign since they're not trying to police the
internet kiwi farms has reportedly switched to using servers hosted in
russia and we can only hope that leads some of them to have a

Android 13 has just rolled out on google pixels but the next version may hop on
the bandwagon and offer built-in satellite connectivity according to
google's hiroshi lockheimer the news comes after spacex and t-mobile
announced they'd be bringing the feature to some phones and tesla cars and apple
is also rumored to be adding the feature to iphones at some point satellite
internet is still pretty slow but i have to admit it would be cool to know that i
just got a message from space so someone is out there
hmm everyone is losing their minds over this picture of an unidentified graphics card
tweeted by leaker person greymon55 who
says it's an engineering sample used to test NVIDIA's full fat ad102 GPU that
would mean it could be a reference board for the rtx 4090 or 4090 ti which are
expected to launch before the end of the year but on the other hand you could
tell me this is literally any other triple fan graphics card and well i
would have no choice but to believe you i'm very easily persuaded openeye has
added a new function to its dolly 2 ai image generator called out painting
which allows humans to prompt the ai to fill in details outside the frame of
existing images so far it's been used to expand some famous paintings and reveal
what the painter didn't feel like including there was a whole nother table of dogs
that is even more unlikely and quaint
and turns out bungie's canceled split screen co-op feature was already in the
game's code somewhere some astute players were able to trigger a glitch
that got four players on the same screen on a series x reports are indicating the
feature works horribly on xbox one though which may be the reason bungie
decided to cancel it after all if you spent the extra money to buy a series x
you probably don't have any left over to buy friends to play split screen co-op
with pretty obvious logic but it would be illogical to continue when the tech
news is over so you must come back on wednesday for more
it's the only rational conclusion and then cut
don't don't include this
