on the fourth day of Hanukkah some nerd will give to you more adequate Tech news
NVIDIA has announced they will be killing the shield TV's game stream
feature which lets you stream your own PC games locally if you had an NVIDIA
GPU with the shutdown scheduled for February and what history is already
calling the world's worst Valentine's Day present
seriously at least they got me something thank you
NVIDIA recommends switching to steam link as an alternative and you know what
the Gaming Community completely understood what a stupid thing that is
to say there have been multiple posts on Reddit and even a change.org petition to
get NVIDIA to reverse their decision and it's already gathered a whopping 2500
signatures USA I don't think it's gonna pan out
guys users have pointed out that steam link is significantly worse than game
stream quote in every way Moonlight an
open source alternative client for the gamestream protocol that works on
non-shield devices will also be affected but what couldn't you leave that alone
almost as much as it was affected by the La La Land announcement luckily at least
one developer knows that maybe you shouldn't anger the people that buy your
products so they worked with the devs of moonlight to make a service called
Sunshine which creates a streaming server on your gaming PC like GeForce
experience did plus it works with AMD and Intel gpus as a kicker and that's
been out for a while hasn't it just confirm truly NVIDIA is constantly
innovating new ways to inspire others to make way better stuff than NVIDIA facial
recognition was used to Bar a woman from entering Radio City Music Hall even
though all the tech Giants said they were sorry for working on it but I guess
the cat's out of the bag now huh Kelly conlon went with her daughter on a Girl
Scout trip to see the Rockettes Christmas show at the famous Manhattan
venue only for security to tell her she's now welcome there turns out that
facial recognition had not only identified her name but also that she is
a lawyer employed at the firm Davis saperstein and Solomon possibly from a
page on their website showing her bio and photo they doxed her oof get Elon on
the phone free Twitter blue apparently Kelly was barred because her firm has
spent years in litigation with a restaurant that has been acquired by MSG
entertainment the same company that operates Radio City and they put that
MSG and everything it's delicious even though she only practices in New Jersey
and not New York and doesn't even work on the MSG entertainment case she was
still forced to wait outside while her daughter watched the show without her
how will the child understand what she sees in there without her mother but hey
that's what the holidays are all about families coming together only to be
forcefully separated by faceless corporations I'm sure it's fine though I
can't think of a single way that discriminating against a practicing lawyer could backfire and in sentences I
never would have thought existed news photos of a woman on the toilet that
were taken by a robot vacuum cleaner were shared on Facebook by Venezuelan
I.T workers sorry guys that was a roller coaster the photos
were taken two years ago by special development versions of irobot's Roomba
j7 series vacuum cleaners that were apparently given to paid data collectors
by iRobot themselves these images were then sent to scale AI a startup that
hires contract workers from across the globe to label audio photo and video
data to train machine learning algorithms iRobot worked with this
company to train their robots how to navigate homes by identifying and
categorizing rooms based on what they contain unfortunately some of their
contractors in Venezuela decided to identify themselves as perverts when
they took images from devices located in France Germany Spain the US and Japan
and shared them through private Facebook and Discord groups iRobot CEO responded
in a blog post stating that participants are informed and acknowledge how the
data will be collected but the company refused to allow journalists to view the
consent agreements the paid collector signed because iRobot takes privacy very
seriously at least when it comes to legal documents that get them in trouble
consent is important for the documents for the documents now it's time for

processing error Intel's core I9 13900
HX a laptop CPU is faster than the
12900k Intel's previous gen Flagship
desktop processor according to a leaked geekbench result this makes some sense
as it uses the same die as the I9 3900k
desktop CPU but still if these numbers are accurate it's pretty wild that a
mobile chip could be faster than Intel's previous gen Flagship processor in
single core and faster than the desktop core i7 13700 KF in multi-core so far
there seems to be only one test on geekbench but I assume that's because
the laptop melted because that thing was it is it doesn't stop feels weird giving
kudos to Intel but not solid NASA has retired the inside mission after they
were unable to contact the Mars Lander this week launched in 2018 Insight was a
robo geologist that detected over 1300
Mars Quakes with its onboard seismometer
I'm I swear these are real words I've been told that it may have used its
final message to identify the source of these Mars Quakes do we have the
communication yes right here ah thank you
foreign
but congratulations mom yuffie has finally addressed the security Scandal
surrounding their cameras in case you missed it last month it was revealed
that yuffie did not store users data only locally as they claimed angering
lots of people including Linus yuffie published a blog post admitting to the
non-locality of your data but did not explain how you could view an
unencrypted stream of their cameras using VLC media player want some
particles dude not local you know the internet is crazy the physics they also
gave the standard corporate apology which is none the statement comes just
in time for the holidays so you can give some yuffie cameras to a special someone
that you dislike gaming mouse company final Mouse announced a new mechanical
keyboard with an onboard CPU and GPU that he uses to play videos on a display
that sits below its transparent Keys now this will be a tremendous purchase for
people struggling in competitive Shooters it won't make you better but
you will be able to watch something other than someone killing you for a
change oh okay oh that's pretty good although I spawned in again a little
fish and the UK government's intellectual property office announced
yesterday that sharing passwords for online streaming services like Netflix
is against the law I guess I was right
all along ladies I am a law breaker
nice this means that the crown could
technically prosecute password shares so long as there's a police investigation
this is terrific news for vindictive X's across the country revenge for your
former partner changing their Netflix password is just a 999 call away they're
waiting for your call a 999 cool
and another TechLinked is just two days away and soyal is tomorrow did you make
your pothos yet hurry hurry up
