Windows 11 Pros on by default encryption
could be slowing down your SSD speed by as much as
45% according to tests performed by Tom's Hardware does my PC not recognize
the Flames I drew on the boot Drive Tom's Hardware tested a Samsung 990 Pro
using Windows software bit Locker encryption it's Hardware bit Locker
encryption and no encryption at all nothing at all while software encryption
caus the frightening performance drop it turns out that Hardware encryption may
be even faster than no encryption at all this would be terrific news if it
weren't for Windows in 2019 Microsoft
decided to change Windows so that software encryption would be the default
rather than Hardware encryption what makes this worse is that Windows 11 Pro
Force enables this encryption without providing a clear opt out option and
worst of all if you want to switch to Hardware encryption even if you don't
have software bit Locker enabled you have to reinstall Windows if you have
the OS running on that SSD because how dare you try and make your machine more
functional without penalty if you feel your computer has slowed down there's a
blog post on how to get Hardware encryption working on your PC in our
news sources we knew it was a good tutorial because it's not from Microsoft
support phone manufacturers have been remotely disabling Mexican customers
cell phones this is real as in many countries a large percentage of Mexicans
buy their phones on the gray Market through sites like Amazon and AliExpress
this means they're getting better deals by buying phones that are meant for release in other markets but that would
still most likely be compatible with Mexico's cellular infrastructure but
some phone companies don't like this in July of this year Motorola announced all
phones imported and activated in Mexico after that month would be subject to
remote DEC ability making the phone completely useless except for emergency
calls fortunately Samsung disagreed with Motorola's tactics but unfortunately it
was because they didn't think Motorola went far enough Samsung started
disabling all gray Market phones retroactively under the pretense that
the phones weren't properly certified by the Mexican Government however the
government never asked Samsung to do this and in fact told manufacturers very
strongly to stop disabling phones but come on they offered everyone a 30% off
coupon for the second phone customers are being forced to buy what more does
the Mexican Government want not forcibly removing citizens access to their own
data and or ability to text their loved
ones speaking of phones it turns out all those fancy AI tasks the pixel 8 Pro can
do aren't actually performed by the phone in his review for the pixel8 pro
Mr who's the boss revealed that the phone's AI features like AI wallpaper
making and the Magic Eraser for photos are not accomplished with the phone's
Google designed processor the device needs a persistent distant internet
connection so the phone can offload those tasks to Google servers maybe
someone should have informed Google VP of product management Monica Gupta
before she wrote a blog post saying things like the tensor G3 chip continues
to push the boundaries of on device machine learning and how the Chip's
upgraded subsystems are Paving the way for on device generative AI with
specific regard to using magic editor on photos or AI generating wallpapers I
guess on device generative AI means on device Wi-Fi so your phone can connect
to an AI server they never said which device and that sounds way less special
maybe that's why Google decided to block reviewers from downloading benchmarks to
test the new tensor chip they didn't want anyone to find out their AI magic
wasn't real then the reviewers would start asking questions about the AI

its simal casting guidelines to allow creators to live stream anywhere on the
web simultaneously following an unsuccessful ban on simal casting that
may or may not have contributed to Top Talent leaving the service in droves
there are still a few limitations like the version of a stream hosted on Twitch
should be at least equivalent in quality of experience and streamers shouldn't
share links to their twitch audience directing them to watch other platforms
Midstream twitch also announced that they will be adding doxing and swatting
to their list of punishable off-platform conduct having concluded that criminal
harassment is wrong very W you mean I

Microsoft Excel has now finally created a user setting to turn off its automatic
date conversion feature for dates both as a quality of life measure and to
prevent Excel from accidentally destroying peer-reviewed scientific data
you see genes tend to have long stupid names like differentiate embryonic crond
doite Express Gene one which scientists who are only human abbreviated as D1
which Excel who's only a computer program interpreted as December 1st and
automatically reformatted a 2016 study found that out of over 3500 published
papers around a fifth had errors introduced by Excel scientists actually
reworked their entire system for abbreviating genes back in 2020 when
admittedly they had a lot more free time on their hands Amazon has launched a
trial for its new Workforce of bipedal humanoid robots developed by agility
robotics which are definitely not intended to replace Amazon's current
human Workforce with their weak flesh and limited bladder capacity with
something Superior no no the primary benefit of the new Bots is their ability
to crouch grasp and lift objects and navigate warehouses designed for feeble
human workers One Union commented that Amazon has been treating their workers
like robots for years though hopefully we won't start finding bottles of used
motor oil along the sides of the highway it's a matter of time before the robots
unionize and the Windows phone is many things but would you have guessed that

that identifies what device browser version and Os you're using using a user
agent switcher to Windows phone it'll disable ads it's like the reverse of the
