i've missed you let's reconnect over some tech news and some chilled sanjavis
perhaps we all know that Windows 11 leaked last
week everybody was installing it playing games on it commenting on the fact that
it's basically Windows 10 with a fancy new look except there might be some
fancy new stuff under the hood as well that no one's talking about except for
hot hardware who decided to test Windows 11 against Windows 10 on one of Intel's
lakefield hybrid processors which use a big little design combining high power
cores with weaker power efficient cores and on Windows 11 the lakefield chip
performed noticeably better this is news because Intel's lakefield
chip is quite bad which you would know if you'd seen the LTT review of the
samsung galaxy book s you seen it the performance difference
may be due to Windows 11's thread scheduler which is rumored to include
some improvements over the one in Windows 10. if you're looking to test it
yourself well microsoft has been hitting every site that hosts a link to the
leaked operating system with dmca takedown so it's probably best just to
wait until june 24th this is thursday
for microsoft's official reveal at 11 11 a.m
that's nice you can wait china has decided it's time to stop for miners
sucking up vast amounts of electricity in the country's sichuan province
i really hope that's how you say it so they've ordered a complete halt to
mining in the region mining operations and other regions are also shutting down
in an attempt to get ahead of any further bans meaning more than 90
percent of china's bitcoin mining capacity is reportedly affected some
analysts noted that electricity usage appeared to decrease by eight gigawatts
after the order which is about equivalent to the output of multiple nuclear power plants
time machines it's about the equivalent of multiple like what what kind of power
plants there's not nuclear different sizes of them modern ones okay in other
but possibly related news GPU prices are starting to come down wow according to
german language site 3d center which monitors the GPU market in europe GPU
prices have decreased by 113 percent from mid-may now the average NVIDIA
gaming card is only 91 percent more expensive than msrp and that is a good
that's a good aneurysm for
a couple months now and in a world where it's becoming increasingly obvious that
we don't actually own our electronic devices or souls google and the state
government of massachusetts automatically installed coveted tracking
apps on onto Android phones users reported discovering the mass notify app
had suddenly appeared on their Android devices over the weekend and no it was
not accidentally installed by their boomer parents or their dog everyone
double checked in a statement google says they simply activated the exposure
notification system already built into Android but didn't address the actual
app hey you know what else is creepy the fact that energy providers remotely
raised the temperature in the homes of many texan residents who had unknowingly
opted into a program called smart savers texas meant to optimize the state's
energy grid people woke up sweating because their smart thermostat had been raised 4
degrees to 78 degrees fahrenheit here in canada we're spreading because we don't
know what that equates to in celsius and also because i think it's about 24
26. uh and also because society is rapidly devolving into a corporate

what about the american department of defense now what tesla has revealed the
supercomputer it's currently building to train the neural nets that power tesla's
autopilot which i'm told will be a product one day
it's just joking autopilot's here today it's apparently the fifth most powerful super
computer in the world but it won't even hold a candle to tesla's next super
computer code named dojo which is not doge and will be capable of achieving
one exa flop and when it's done that he'll retire you only need to flop once
we're in trouble cyberpunk 2077 has been reinstated to the playstation store
after sony pulled the game due to its innumerable bugs and performance issues
at launch but while the game is available to buy again it still has a
warning on the listing advising users to be where the game's performance issues
might suck but in many ways the bugs almost make it a more realistic vision
of the future you know you think those implants are going to work perfectly every time once you get the firmware
update then you can see
and the green goblin was trending on social media this morning thanks to a video showing a man flying around on a
drone hoverboard resembling the goblins glider from the really good tobin
mcguire spider-man movies especially the third one our best guess right now is
that the the man is youtuber hunter kowald who has shown off a similar
hoverboard in his videos but no pumpkin bombs flying just yet fingers crossed
