it's thought that the first tech news was delivered by Homo erectus after the
creation of fire it isn't thought by anyone significant but it is in fact
thought a mysterious Source has revealed that
AMD's new 7000 series gpus are a bad
value compared to its earlier cards which surely is embarrassing for the
company what's even more embarrassing is that that source is AMD itself the GPU
manufacturer wrote a blog post in an attempt to convince consumers to
purchase their new RX 7900 XTX and XT
cards by saying they are the most powerful Radeon lineup in years they
show multiple graphs touting performance but the real corporate oopsie comes in
the form of the last grab which shows average FPS per dollar at 1080p the one
thousand dollar 7900 XTX ends up having
the worst value less than half of the
clear winner the 6400 and yet the post insists this year's AMD Radeon RX
Graphics family is looking like the best yet it gets worse when you read the fine
print and see that they tested the RX 6400 at a lower graphic preset than
every other card presumably to inflate the FPS value of the card and I guess
without realizing that would also make frames per dollar better maybe they
thought they were measuring dollars per FPS since that's what it says in the
graph's title or maybe AMD watched the number 23 and it ruined numbers for them
forever and Jim Carrey and Jim Carrey I
always hated numbers from birth India has announced their own phone OS to
compete with the likes of Google and apple just a week after an official
teased the possibility of this happening dermendra pradan the minister for
education and minister of skill development and Entrepreneurship he's
got a lot under his belt there is that that's not what that means
umbrella he claims that the so-called bar OS is incapable of running malware
which he demonstrated by saying those words and doing nothing else all you
need baby they tried to stick malware in it many
times it just doesn't fit in the hole he tested the OS at work in a video posted
to Twitter sorry what hole Riley the the OS hole at least we assume he tested it
nothing is shown to the camera but he said he tested it so again how can you
argue it's claimed that the OS shares no user data and does not feature any
pre-loaded apps and that last point is interesting because the competition
Commission of India recently demanded that Google stop forcing phone
manufacturers that license their GMS version of Android to pre-install Google
apps like Chrome and YouTube India being able to push back against Google is a
big deal since Android has a 97 market
share in the South Asian country at the same time because of the massive hold
Google has in the market there are some doubts that bar OS will be able to truly
compete but hey if Dharmendra pradan says it'll happen I believe him I mean
how can you not trust a man with a mustache like that is mine like his work
with them every day is it you learn who he really is his is better than mine
isn't it it is yeah and an exploit has been released for a critical bug in
Windows and researchers at security firm released a proof of concept exploit code
for a critical Windows crypto API vulnerability that would allow threat
actors to make malicious code appear to be from a trusted Source just like when
my brother's friend dressed up like a doctor and convinced me I had terminal
cooties inoperable
unlike the other cooties apparently Microsoft patched this bug in August of
last year but didn't publicly mention it until October probably because they
wanted everyone to have a relaxing summer I mean it's just there's an asteroid coming but
maybe that wasn't such a good idea though because akamai's researchers
found some applications in the wild such as old versions of chrome and
chromium-based applications that can be exploited with their exploit code even
worse they said that fewer than one percent of visible devices in data
centers are patched meaning 99 of
servers are still vulnerable to attacks I see the math equations it has a patch
one of these motorcycle gangs I guess computer servers now know how
human servers feel when any customer at any moment can yell at them just because
they didn't get ranch dressing on the side I wouldn't know what that was like

a different shirt who was that guy and where are the quick bits U.S asteroid
mining startup astroforge has planned a private mission to inspect an asteroid
22 million miles from Earth for terminal cooties I'm just kidding which is
generally how far away from Earth I like my giant space rocks that that's close
enough however two years ago academics warned that space mining may have many
undesirable effects if it isn't internationally regulated and even wrote
an open letter to the UN to request drafting an international treaty the law
may go either way on space mining but if there's one thing we can all agree on
find the marker from dead even alone make us not again I thought
after announcing his company's AI lawyer would practice in an actual court case
Joshua Browder the CEO of New York startup do not pay has canceled the
stunt saying on Twitter that multiple bar associations have threatened his
company some of them even said he would be thrown in jail if only he could have
seen this coming by I don't know Consulting an intellect with a vast
wealth of legal knowledge ironic such as
a good savior of this from jail but not himself Chinese retailers have been
caught selling used crypto mining gpus that have had components repainted to
make them appear new the scheme was uncovered by the dynamic duo of
Brazilian YouTuber iskander Souza and
computer technician Paolo Gomez making them in my mind even more of a Brazilian
Batman and Robin than the real Brazilian Batman from 2012. that exists show the
clip the sellers even went so far as to label individual memory chips with
different numbers so they look like they came from the same batch I mean you
gotta you gotta love when people care about their craft but just
Kudos Yandex the Russian Tech Giant often called Russia's Google or even
saint google'sberg that was dumb was
hacked in July 2022 according to someone who just publicly uploaded the source
code for many of the company's products that includes Yandex Maps Yandex Mail
Yandex pay Yandex taxi and even the company's AI assistant Alice who didn't
ask for any of this what about email like why no it's what about ymail no
that's they want to do things the difficult way however Yandex maintains that they were
not hacked because such things only happen to evil Western companies the
leaked code is out of date and may have been grabbed by a former employee
freeing Alice from her Siberian imprisonment which I can you know get
her out of there she doesn't belong to Gulag and a team of Chinese and American
scientists have shown off a robot the size of a Lego minifigure that can melt
squeeze through tight spaces and then reform into an emotionless killing
machine on the other side first question is why
second question is how well it's made out of Magneto active phase transitional
matter or mptm which is science for a mixture of gallium neodymium iron and
Boron did I say any of that right boronium
neodymium um special third question is
it really fair to call this a robot if it's being externally controlled with
magnetic fields I mean to be fair that's what the lizard people are doing to us
right now but we're not robots so I and the lizard people really want you to
tune back in on Monday they said if you don't they're gonna lick your feet while
you sleep and she's part of the deal
