Microsoft has a secret tool that enables hidden features in Windows 11 and that
tool has leaks it's truly the worst blender Microsoft has made since they
accidentally released Windows 11. I'm Jacob Rush this is techlinked and this
happened during the company's current bug bash a periodic event where
developers and testers are encouraged to track down bugs in the latest Windows
Insider build included in the instructions for the event was a
download link to staging tool something that was an internal company application
until yesterday when The Average Joe's cleverly outsmarted Microsoft by
clicking download it's just that easy
it really is it was allegedly first discovered by xenopanther on a social
platform called X short for X Twitter
who pointed out its similarity to Vive tool a third-party app Windows stands
have used to access hidden win 11 features for some time essentially
staging tool is a command line interface that uses feature IDs to enable and
disable corresponding features since most feature IDs can be found on GitHub
the site that Microsoft owns basically
anyone can now access all the secret features that might not be ready for
prime time yet man more like cell phone if only there was some way Microsoft
could prevent things like this from happening leave all the feature IDs up
on the website they own and there's got to be something some sort of solution
godspeed Microsoft
why pay for Tesla features when you can just hack your car researchers from TU
Berlin were able to activate paid features by taking advantage of Tesla's
greatest weakness direct current I see what you did there that's a Nikola Tesla
joke baby while they won't present everything until next week the gist is
they used voltage glitching or a bolt fault injection attack if you're feeling
saucy by messing with the supply voltage of the AMD processor at the heart of the
infotainment system at just the right time the researchers could trick the
chip into accepting manipulated code potentially unlocking any of the paid
upgrade features Tesla sells including the fifteen thousand dollar full
self-driving upgrade that is so much money it one simple trick that Elon
hates plus because it's an issue with the soc it's unpatchable but wouldn't
you know it hacks can also be bad
if an outsider gains access to your Tesla they can extract personal
information like locations the car has visited call logs and even session
tokens for your email accounts and do you really want someone knowing you
still use your childhood email address neopetsgirl91 at Yahoo really I mean
it's coming back though neopest is coming back Kenyan authorities have suspended the
operations of World coin while the government assesses the Project's
potential risk to Public Safety reportedly over 350 000 Kenyans had
already signed up to have their eyes scanned by an ominous orb in return for
cryptocurrency currently valued at around 7 000 Shillings wait that's real
that's a real currency dope as hell equivalent to about 49 there is evidence
of world coin employing deceptive practices in several other countries
like Chile Where participants were given terms of service in English a language
fun fact they don't speak and Indonesia where participants were enticed with
bribes of cash crypto and airpods without being told what the scans were
for founder and Chachi PT daddy Sam Altman hey he's more of a twink who
based the world coin out of the Cayman Islands for entirely non-suspicious
reasons claims the data will be used to distinguish humans from robots a problem
no one's having but also that he hopes
that this will lead to a universal basic income somehow the first part almost
makes sense so let's focus on that digital privacy experts criticized
worldcoin's proposed use of Biometrics for online verification with Edward

there are concerns both with the possibility that the data might be sold

development another GPU has leaked
AMD partner power color accidentally detailed the unannounced Radeon RX 7800
XT and according to their own specs the card will have 3 840 shaders fewer than
the 6800 XT what but will feature a increase in-memory clock speed over the
last generation thank God also weirdly while the card features three
DisplayPort 2.1 outputs only two of them can be used simultaneously it's like
pockets on women's clothes it's not about being functional just looking like
it is that looks functional you know it looks like you could use those all hey
girl you look you can fit a whole phone in there I know you can't because then
big purse would get angry Microsoft the company that just leaked an internal
tool has been called out for negligent cyber security practices when disclosing
a china-based hack last month that exploited an Azure vulnerability
Microsoft said they acted based on customer reported information from June
turns out the vulnerability was disclosed to them by security firm
tenable two and a half months earlier that's a lot earlier and the fix that
Microsoft pushed out on disclosure of the hack only worked for new users and
they were going to wait until September 28th to secure their current customers
applications you know I mean your regulars who
cares wouldn't you know it they managed to fix it merely a day after tenable's
CEO revealed all of this in a LinkedIn post ironic it's comforting to learn
Microsoft is a company that will fix problems the moment they know
everyone else knows about them Tim Cook of Tim Cook Fame has confirmed that
Apple has been working on generative AI quote for years end quote the fact they
haven't released anything is probably related to Tim Cook stating while AI has
a lot of potential there are issues that need to be sorted and so they're
probably being cautious smart taking a
slightly different tactic meta has released an AI tool for audio and music
which was likely inspired by Google doing it first don't worry guys it's for
research new research has shown that it's possible to control human DNA with
electricity which may lead to Future medical breakthroughs where gene therapy
can be delivered through wearable devices that's pretty actually pretty cool in this specific experiment
scientists found that they were able to trigger insulin production in human
cells by electrogenic activation of
certain genes which has obvious applications in controlling diabetes can
I get it in a scarf this scarf is warm fashionable and it keeps my blood sugar
in Jack to be clear here this isn't changing the DNA just increasing the
expression of the genes that are already there meaning that sadly we are still
decades away from smart watches that make you fly when you shout Shazam no my
origin story sorry Billy Batson go back to school and Zebo is finally getting an
emulator and no this isn't another glorbo situation I wish the Zebo is a
100 real console that was released in Brazil in 2009 in Mexico in 2010 and
into the great discount been in the sky in 2011. the Zebo was a budget Consul
and by budget I mean it used the same software as flip phone
games but thanks to developer tuxality
maybe someday you'll be able to use the Infuse emulator to play the worst of the
327 versions of Resident Evil that have ever been released
it's got more releases than Skyrim that game and that's saying something that is
saying something actually and you should play the next episode of techlinked when
it comes out on Monday because honestly I feel like we're barely even talking
what do you mean I think we're here like what changed did I do something
