oh rise and shine sleepyheads
it may be my day off but the tech news never takes a day off NVIDIA's rtx 4070
and 4080 gpus have had their alleged performance leaked on twitter by the
notorious at copite7 kimi the numbers
come from 3dmark's time spy benchmark tool and are in line with what others
had predicted with the 4080 netting a time spy extreme score of 15 000. that's
only marginally faster than the 30 90 ti but
68 more powerful than the card it's replacing the 30 80. meanwhile the 4070
scored nearly 10 000 about 47 percent
more powerful than the 30 70. all those frames come at a cost though as the same
leaker suggests that the 4070 and 4080 could draw upwards of 600 and 800 watts
respectively which is actually perfect for their release this winter you mean
to say i can play cyberpunk at max settings and heat my whole house
that's a win-win no word yet on the pricing of the cards
but i'd keep a spare kidney around just in case
remember when Intel was stuck wandering the 14 nanometer desert for like 40
years before making a comeback with alder lake well they're not under the
dunes yet on the server side as their sapphire rapid xeon cpus have been
delayed again according to internal documents the new launch window is
between february 6 and march 3rd 2023
that's pretty rough for a lineup that was originally intended to compete with
AMD's epic milan since that original announcement AMD has
launched milan and milan x and will
launch their next gen genoa in the coming months
a security vulnerability in the previous sapphire rapids chip iteration has been
cited as one of the reasons for the latest delay which casts doubt on the
release timelines for subsequent generations emerald rapids and granite
rapids which were slated for 2023 and 2024 respectively
geez last time my server was this late i did what any canadian would do and i
only tipped 10 percent twitch has begun
testing peer-to-peer technology as a way of delivering source quality 1080p
streams the experiment will initially be limited to the south korean user base
and users will have to opt in to participate now some of you might think
of p2p technology as that thing you used to download terribly mixed versions of
linkin park songs from limewire back in the day but this implementation will
leverage the computing power from other viewers devices so it has that much in
common but it will be to provide a high quality viewing experience and without
taxing twitch's backend which they hope will ease operating costs the downsides
for users well increased latency and potentially
worse privacy as the ip addresses of all of those who participate are made
available leaving these users potentially exposed to cyber attacks
it's just something to be aware of when you see your webcam automatically turn
on while watching mukbang videos we should see p2p rolled out to more
regions soon but if you don't like it twitch says well you could just watch in
720p instead now it's time for the quakebots brought

remain blocked in indonesia thanks to the country's mr5 content moderation
rules first introduced in 2020 the law requires websites or services to
register with the government's database or be blocked
the laws then give the government carte blanche to obtain any data about users
and to compel companies to remove content that the government deems will
disturb public order the good news is that companies like
apple google amazon microsoft and twitter have all registered with the
government as of this writing it's really nice to see some bravery and
leadership from our profit-seeking overlords in the face of egregious human
rights violations good work you guys
samsung is planning to release a new privacy feature which when activated
limits what someone can see on your phone dubbed repair mode the feature
boots your device into a bare bones mode showing only pre-installed apps and
removing access to the device's media the feature is enabled in settings and
disabled by entering your passcode or fingerprint to authenticate your
identity so far the feature is only slated to be released on the s1 in south
korea but samsung plans to roll it out to other regions over time
in news that shouldn't be news twitter has confirmed it will be allowing users
to post images and videos in a single tweet very soon as the social media
giant is currently testing the feature to enable people to mix up to four media
assets into a single tweet regardless of format currently users can only post one
form of media per tweet but if all goes according to plan bots will soon be able
to sing daddy elon's praises in rich mixed media collages
i can't wait china's long march 5b rocket re-entered
earth's atmosphere before crashing over the indian ocean on saturday the rocket
is the third uncontrolled re-entry by a chinese rocket in as many years which
has garnered criticism from experts who call the uncontrolled re-entries
avoidable and they're worth avoiding as
up to 40 percent of the 23 metric ton rocket could potentially survive burning
up in the atmosphere remaining as large chunks of debris
a representative of shanghai-based news site guancha said that the u.s and
western media deliberately exaggerate the loss of control and the probability
of personal injury caused by the rocket debris
he's like the ocean's pretty big
