oh crap uh I didn't wear my naragi today
now I have to deliver Tech news in a shirt yeah
no Rock No rookie ring the Amazon subsidiary
famous for sending its customer security cam recordings to police without asking
has decided that you need another reason to not buy their products ring announced
last week that several previously free features will be paywall to behind a
subscription before the end of the month starting March 29th new users will not
be able to use the Ring app to ARM or disarm their security receive alarm
notifications or customize automations between compatible products meaning
things like setting your ring cameras to record when your ring alarm is triggered
will no longer be possible without an active ring protect subscription those
features used to come included with the camera purchase but can you really put a
price on home security I tried it's hard maybe you can't but for Amazon it's no
problem they can do it twice this sucks for anyone considering buying ring
products but even existing ring users will still have to pay up or lose access
to the Home and Away modes for ring cameras which means your Advanced
Internet connected security camera will soon be a glorified webcam your
streaming career yeah stream yourself to the police
it's like Netflix but for cops to summarize the company that gives
police warrantless access to security camera video will make it less intuitive
to stop recording on your security cameras if you don't pay a monthly fee
Alexa what's the definition of extortion what
you just said thanks Alexa I'm
thanks right Alexa at least four EV manufacturers have
issued recalls in the last month all for distinct
you get very good reasons rivien recalled 13 000 vehicles for a sensor
issue that could stop an airbag from deploying while electromechanica
recalled 428 automobiles because of a
defect that could cause the motor to shut down and Lordstown recalled 19 of
their buggies because of a possible fault that caused Drive power loss and
could even brick the car
but worst of all is Tesla almost 3 500
model y's need to be recalled because the bolts securing the rear seats and
seat belts aren't tight enough I guess the dude the bull tightening guy like
his wrench ARM was injured that day and he's just like ah good enough you don't
want to over tighten you don't want to bolt it too good you don't want people to like be safe in an accident then they
get they get they get entitled we'll start cutting into the wood sure
would it doesn't stop there for Tesla just last week shareholders sued the
company and Elon Musk for allegedly misrepresenting the efficacy of Tesla's
full self-driving or FSD Tech it might
have something to do with the mid-February recall of over 362
000 Vehicles because their FSD beta software caused them to be too
enthusiastic about going straight through intersections while in a turning
lane and other incredibly dangerous behaviors in lighter news the model S
and X received yet another price cut yesterday almost like recent events have
affected demand or something maybe I don't know regardless it's never been
cheaper to blame your car for your own reckless driving the buyer's market and
another swath of upcoming Apple announcements have been teased by none
other than the germinator himself Mark German allegedly a new iMac perhaps
powered by an M3 chip will be coming out around the second half of this year or
at least that's what we determine German from German sermon
the current model was announced in April 2021 so the all-in-one is due for a
refresh he also claimed there is a 15-inch MacBook Air due to come out with
an M2 Chip and a 13-inch M3 powered air
possibly coming later in the year but do any of you remember the Mac Pro Apple
seems to have forgotten about it since the last one released in 2019
although to be fair to Apple 2019 is probably the last year I personally was
able to track the passage of time Mark German mentioned previously the new Pro
will be powered by the M2 Ultra but I'm pretty sure that was discontinued in
1973 I mean how would you even give a computer LSD I guess we'll find out in
early spring or summer this year this guy think really hard about it people
were tortured Riley but then they got psychic powers I mean maybe in stranger

this is just the intro to them they they come next know what they just know what
the quick bits are yeah like let's let's do that I know it's confusing a bug in
NVIDIA's latest GeForce driver has reportedly been causing CPU usage to
increase by about 10 after exiting games that is one needy roach who's the roach
it's a bug it needs a lot of juice
it's a thirsty boy fortunately the bug is now known to the GPU maker so it
should be fixed soon although hopefully they'll first address the bug that
causes their newest gpus to increase spending by forty percent oh got him
speaking of driver bugs AMD's Radeon drivers have a rare bug that can brick a
PC now that's a mean roach what we call that right there that's a really mean
approach that one's that one that one hates you AMD has publicly acknowledged
the issue and has helped at least one computer journalist through the
complicated fix before they finish the permanent one and that's all well and
good but this bug has been around for at least a month
yeah lives forever AMD is a history of
eventually fixing their cards with software updates but maybe a bug that
takes out a whole computer could be like bumped up the list
takes out everything they took first blood not me scammers have started
tricking people into sending them money by using AI to emulate the voices of
colleagues and loved ones trained on just a few sentences one poor woman was
almost scammed by someone posing as her grandson some have loftier Ambitions and
are tricking businesses by impersonating supervisors and directors I can't
imagine who would fall for
that's not important no Riley it's Linus he he needs your mother's maiden name oh
it's Twitter appears to have played itself after internal and external links
stopped working due to an error after announcing the Restriction of the
platform's API Twitter's Link stopped working due to code 467 which
hilariously States your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint
more like 469 because they screwed themselves even
Twitter has to pay itself for access to the Twitter API I mean how else are they
going to make up for that 3 billion a year loss the more transactions go yeah get them
going who cares about accounting fees in the log and researchers have used stable
diffusion to translate brain waves into images the scientists showed
participants images during fmri scans the data from those scans was then
decoded into text representations and input into the diffusion model and the
results do seem to resemble the presented images now this isn't exactly
the level of outputting memories from people's brains but imagine how much
closer will be to that when AI is Advanced enough to take all of our jobs
darn it will be able to look at our memories in a TV remember when we had
jobs remember jobs I remember but it can
never take away your Tech news so make sure you come back on Wednesday and if
you're really good well maybe I'll dress up or I won't be hosting one of the two
wear normal clothes these aren't normal these are abnormal clothes I prefer
ropes you look super weird right
