Tech news isn't just information it's also a state of
mind but Tech news isn't just a state of
mind it's also information write that
down details about Intel's upcoming aerol Lake s platform have leaked
lending Credence to rumors that team blue plans to kill hyperthreading which
allows two threads to run on a single core Reliable Hardware leaker Yukan sure
on Twitter initially published excerpt from an alleged Intel document before
removing the Tweet so unfortunately only
90% of the internet was able to get screenshots doesn't do anything
according to these documents aerol Lake s processors will feature the same core
count as the current 14th gen Raptor Lake refresh tips and will have
hyperthreading disabled on performance cores rumors have been swirling since at
least July of last year that AOL Lake would ditch hyperthreading into in favor
of something called rentable units allegedly Intel's plans here are
influenced by the Royal core project thought up by legendary CPU architect
Jim Keller during his brief stint at Intel a potential replacement for
hyperthreading has been detailed in a Patent filed by Intel about a year ago
but nothing is definitive at this point and the documents leaked on Twitter
specifically reference a pre-alpha aerol
lake scpu so maybe take all of this with
some salt and not just because Tech news is always a little tastier properly
seasoned how could you not eat me I'm delicious even though HP is facing a
class action lawsuit for forcing printer owners to use first-party ink cartridges
the company's CEO seemed pretty relaxed during a CNBC interview showing off his
yoga skills by repeatedly putting his foot in his mouth Big Cheese Enrique
lores said that when someone buys a printer from HP the company is investing
in that customer if that customer doesn't print enough or use enough
supplies they are a bad investment lures
also said that the company's long-term strategy is to make printing a
subscription saying it reduces the barriers to print and that's true if you
give HP enough money each month they'll reduce the number of barriers stopping
you from using your own printer just love when I get those printer of the
month boxes but to be fair to Enrique lores
blocking HP printer owners from using third party ink cartridges protects them
from being hacked at least according to a cyber security expert Enrique lores in
another memorable quote lores States viruses can be embedded in third-party
cartridges to infect your network through your printer somewhat backing up
this claim is research firm actionable intelligence who showed this type of
attack was possible in 2022 as a
response to a bug Bounty put out by HP
of course the pap detailing that attack came out 6 years after HP started
blocking third party Inc they were probably just being safe but that's a
type of forward thinking that huet Packard is best known for they're
basically precogs the GeForce RTX 470 Super's
launch sales are a disappointment at
least according to YouTuber Mo's law is dead and several other outlets that are
quoting Mo's lies dead uh we don't want to be hard on these rumors but what
they're saying feels kind of counterintuitive based on how well the
card has been reviewed however most reviewers only discuss the founders
Edition version sold straight from NVIDIA mors LA's dead sources claimed
the sale of partner cards was struggling because most are priced over
MSRP okay ml claims an addin board
partner called sales a disaster and he allegedly talked to a small us retailer
who claimed they rejected a supply of about 200 addin board cards because most
were priced between 620 and 650 $50 and
they felt it would be nearly impossible to sell a 12 GB GPU for over 600 bucks
get your grains of salt ready though because Mo's law further claimed he
spoke with a GPU scalping Collective that said they are canceling the orders
their bots made after seeing the bad sales NVIDIA themselves has claimed
these leaks don't represent the full picture of course they would and at
least one retailer scanned computers in the UK said they had great success with
the 4070 super Lodge okay but like maybe shut up before the scalpers hear you you
know just trying to help oh man these graphic cards suck so hor horrible

surface of the Moon making them only the fifth Nation to do so but that success
comes with an asterisk we didn't make an asteroid pun there could have moving on

its solar array after its battery dipped down to 12% slim shut down in order to
reserve what little power it had left in hopes of a recovery effort rather than
ritually disbaling itself as is the custom as for the realistic odds that
the craft will ever be retrieved they're currently slim to
none Jessica seriously though that kind of sucks sorry Japan Apple analyst mingi
quo estimates that Apple sold somewhere in the neighborhood of 160,000 to
180,000 Vision Pro headsets during the pre-order weekend it was already
predicted that the demand would be so high that the stock available for the
official February 2nd launch would sell out but now the shipping times for all
models have been pushed by 5 to 7 weeks
however since the shipping times haven't changed since then it looks like demand
for the product has cooled off I guess Apple will have to settle for a mere
$560 million in Revenue I know it sounds
like a lot but that's a trillion dollar company F they're getting detention from
the EU has confirmed that users in the
European economic area and Switzerland will be able to unlink their Facebook
accounts from Instagram and interestingly from messenger which will
have its own separate accounts but if you thought the Zuck is making this move
out of the goodness of the bionic pump that serves as his heart nope the change
is meant to ensure meta complies with the eu's digital markets act because the
EU isn't only gunning for Apple it's coming for all the tech Giants you guys
are so dead and I'm fine with that as long as they don't classify me as a
gatekeeper next unless they add Gaslight girl boss to the end then it's okay and
SpaceX is pulling its Ambitions back down to Earth by allegedly planning to
open a restaurant and shopping center near its launch testing facility in
Texas according to filings with the Texas department of licensing and
regulation the two projects will cost the rocket company $15 million or
exactly the amount of money Elon Musk found in an old pair of jeans the kind
of food the restaurant will serve is still unknown but we all know the
starter section is is going to have something called X the everything
appetizer all right but I know you are going to come back on Wednesday for more
