ah is there anything more tasty than some
piping hot tech news yeah i mean i i can probably think of quite a quite a few
you're wrong oh there's no tech news in this cup
it seems like the tech world has only just gotten a handle on spectre the
speculative execution vulnerability identified in a slew of processors that
has apparently been sitting unpatched for 20 years now another similar exploit
in Intel processors has been identified by computer scientists in massachusetts
and germany called spoiler oh it's it's just called spoiler i see
like spectre spoiler could be used to gain access to critical data that
wouldn't otherwise be accessible but it's based on Intel's particular memory
system design so it can be used to compromise AMD or ARM chips it also
cannot be protected against using existing hardware and software
mitigations for spectre the researchers say that addressing the flaw requires a
significant redesign at the silicon level
Intel however responded by essentially brushing off the news their spokesperson
said that software developers can easily build in protection from spoiler attacks
and that modern RAM modules should already be protected are they right will
hackers exploit the flaw just to prove them wrong tune in on april 14th to find
out what's on april 14th i can't tell you it's a spoiler
lately we've heard more and more about microsoft's expanded gaming plans and
even more details have now come out from insider sources according to brad sams
of threat.com the disclis xbox console
codenamed maverick will reportedly launch in may and its official name will
be the xbox one s all digital edition

crazy concept cars on display let's take a look at a few shall we kia replace the
dash of one of the cars with 21 phone sized lcds for some reason pretty
impractical but it looks cool mitsubishi laid out a vision for the dendo drive
house which could use the battery power from an electric vehicle to power a home
when needed kind of like that usb-c feature where you can charge one phone
with another phone aston martin's vanquish concept car
would require you to mount your phone on the dash in order to have a screen there
to reduce the number of screens in the world saving the planet it's not like
that meanwhile while you're driving the aston martin lagonda you can set your
key in between the two front seats where it will be suspended using
electromagnets just because why not fiat showed off the
concept of a modular car where you could customize everything from the exterior
to the structure of the seats and the doors that's actually kind of cool and
honda's big innovation was making the cutest little electric car ever the
e-prototype it's not even that cool it's just cute

hey man don't knock until you try it yeah one of alphabet's moonshot
