uh uh wait a second if I'm if I'm here
and you're there that
means it's Tech news time the roll out
of macOS 15 AKA seoa has broken some
major cyber security tools including those from fan favorite crowd strike we
really went through something together though I suppose it's only fair for crowd strike to have a problem on Mac
after that Windows issue every system admin rator drank to forget but great
news guys this time crowd strike isn't responsible apparently crowd strike has
had to delay official support until there's a macOS update and told Tech
crunch to direct its questions to Apple
Apple of course was more than willing to say absolutely nothing at all these
issues appear to be caused by networking bugs in seoa according to both iOS
security expert Patrick wartle and Microsoft whose Defender for endpoint on
Mac software was also affected wartle
even claimed on Twitter that Apple knew about this before Sequoia came out and
the company decided to just release it anyway what's worse users are finding
out that seoa is also blocking vpns and
thirdparty browsers in some cases Firefox and chrome end up blocked by the
macOS firewall after users upgrade with no obvious way to unblock them in the UI
this time it doesn't just work and software engineer Vats swav yatc says
the fix requires Mac enjoyers to use terminal like barbarians I paid
thousands of dollars for fancy virtual buttons where are they and why won't
they work the roll out of Iphone 16 also
isn't going super great for the fruit fraternity multiple 16 pro and pro Max
users are experiencing touchscreen issues where some Taps and swipes are
apparently being ignored by the device it's thinking about something else right
now stop bothering it why won't you scroll what apparently the screen
becomes unresponsive when your hand first touches the screen area next to
the new camera control button also known as the spot your hand is very likely to
touch first when using the screen with your right hand on a more positive note
about the iPhone 16 Apple has actually shared full repair manuals for all 16
models and it turns out the phones are impressively repairable for iPhones but
yeah still iix it actually gave the iPhone 16 and 16 plus a 7 out of 10
score this is partly due to the battery adhesive featured on those two specific
models the adhesive becomes unstuck in
response to low electrical current you simply need a power source and two
alligator clips if you're wondering what alligator clips are they're just like
crocodile Clips but they'll see you later instead of in a
while the US government has proposed Banning Chinese and Russian software and
components from being put into vehicles with a built-in internet connection and
that's like all present day cars so this is a pretty big deal the White House put
out a press release saying the government is concerned that foreign
adversaries could use the cameras and sensors of modern cars to collect
passenger data and even record detailed information about American
infrastructure the White House seems concerned that such information could
then be used to sabotage that infrastructure keep that sabotage point
in your mind for a minute because the the proposed legislation wouldn't just
ban vehicle connectivity systems I.E hardware and software allowing vehicles
to connect to the outside world via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Etc the ban also
covers automated Driving Systems which I'm pretty sure means the government
thinks that said sabotage will be performed with your car that's cool my
ongoing list of upcoming Tech nightmares didn't have getting forcibly driven into
the electrical grid by the Chinese government on it yet a nice curent ly
there aren't that many China or Russia linked cars and components on the market
yet but Commerce Secretary Gina rimondo
said they want to act before such things become commonplace some automakers have
said they'll need more time to comply citing difficulty finding alternate
suppliers you know what I think my next car will be a 1999 Toyota Tel very
reliable there's parts available I want a 72 Port pinto and if you're thinking

according to a report from The Wall Street Journal senior Executives from
Samsung and tsmc traveled to the United Arab Emirates to discuss building chip
making Mega factories in the wealthy Middle Eastern country and modern day
slave state there are a few potential roadblocks chip manufacturing requires
large amounts of extremely clean water and most of the engineering staff would
need to be brought in from overseas the amadis are offering to fund both
projects as a way of developing their own domestic semiconductor manufacturing
sector like a wealthy and kindly Uncle who offers to pay your college tuition
so long as you don't bring up the sweat shop he's running out of the shed in his
backyard those people want to be there they're my buddies Raspberry Pi expert
and and man I'd like to be my dad Jeff Garling unfortunately had his voice
stolen by AI Dad no geerling published a
video demonstrating how Hardware supplier elro was using his voice for a
series of videos on the company's YouTube channel you're not going to
believe this but they did not get his consent Garling has received a response
from El's CEO containing an apology and
an offer of compensation for any losses caused by the incident Jeff you can get
that $5 million you lost back I'm not I
can't wink very well nah he wouldn't lie he's too sweet and that's why I want him
to be my dad what telegram CEO pav jov
seems to have had a change of heart regarding government compliance after
being arrested and charged by French authorities sometimes it has that effect
in a telegram message jurov proclaimed that the app is willing to disclose
users IP addresses and phone numbers if it receives a valid order from
authorities confirming you're suspected of criminal activities that violate the
terms of service so all you got to do is only commit toos friendly crimes it's
the perfect loophole I'm using telegram to shoplift a new MSI power supply
Sports not one but two 12v 2x6 sockets
an updated version of the 12volt high power connector most famous for its
predilection towards arson the model's called the me AI 1600t so while it's
ostensibly geared to power AI accelerators PC Gamer wonders whether
the RTX 590 could require so much power
that it gets split across two 600 wat connectors another news item to consider
this new seic Prime PX 2,200 watt power supply standard North
American plugs can't even deliver enough juice for this thing what kind of GPU
would need that much power and why do I want it despite the potential fire risk
there's something inside me that it's broken and British researchers have
laser engraved the entire Human Genome
onto a near indestructible 5D memory Crystal and that's our show for today
see you later no they didn't have to get the Multiverse involved to pull this off
5D actually stands for the number of Dimensions that can be used to encode
information two Optical dimensions and three spatial Dimensions we're not
getting sucked into a black hole today everything's fine the crystals Ultra
durable a glass can withstand extreme temperatures tons of pressure and
extensive radiation exposure finally a hard drive alternative that can take a
bullet I keep losing all my hard drives that way these crystals could last
billions of years possibly long enough that the magpie people who replace us
might be able to develop cloning technology and make their very own
anthropos
Park and I hope you weren't too preoccupied with whether or not you
could come back on Wednesday for more Tech news to stop and think about
whether you should come back on Wednesday for more Tech news that's a
very long Jurassic Park reference but the point is come back for more Tech
news this Wednesday
