quick you're about to die of thirst in the desert and a genie appears what do
you ask for tech news of course or you're as good as death anything else to
be dumb microsoft has finally ended official support for internet explorer
the web browser that would eventually become the primary way for millions of people to use the web because it was the
only one that was included with Windows and not because it was particularly good
or innovative you know the way it's supposed to be
nevertheless ie persisted even as the web was eventually taken over by google
chrome apple's safari and ie's own
successor edge which we're still waiting for to be cancelled ie is still being
used by a number of people who i'm sure have psychologically interesting yet
self-destructive tendencies sadly microsoft will continue to support ie
for businesses paying to keep their Windows 7 8.110 and server
infrastructure on life support but for everyone else you'll have to say your
goodbyes microsoft tried to prepare us for this day but that don't fix the hurt
can i get some freaking fs in the chat i'm crying right now very sad
Intel and AMD cpus are vulnerable yet
again to a side channel attack discovered by security researchers and
you know what that means a cool name and logo the exploit is called
hertzbleed it's called hertzbleed because it
involves monitoring a CPU's clock frequency adjustments as it executes a
cryptographic workload and converting it into timing data that can be used to
steal the processor's cryptographic keys got it so the hertz is bleeding into the
dance environment you should stop this a while hurts bleed doesn't require
physical access to the pc Intel doesn't think the attack is practical outside of
a lab environment since collecting the required power data would take hours to
days these people got a lot of time mantel
but just in case you can also defend against the attack by disabling your
CPU's boost functionality you'll lose a lot of performance but you might also
feel like a ninja going in stealth mode you know sloth life there's pros and
cons no one can hack there's mold growing on me and the cryptocurrency world is not a
great place right now as prices of everything from bitcoin to dogecoin are
crashing which means for the first time in years it's actually less profitable
to mine both ethereum and bitcoin than it is to just buy it directly at least
at the time of writing that's not a instructions don't
don't listen to us diamond hands baby that's due to both the crashing crypto
prices and rising energy costs as inflation does a number on the world
economy the crash has caused major crypto exchange coinbase to lay off 18
of its staff or 1100 workers four months
after it paid 14 million dollars to run a super bowl ad
of a qr code bouncing around the screen dvd player style
it made people happy for a little while okay
what else can we hope for oi rawley
