oh good you're here listen I can't find my phone could could you call it you'll
need my phone number let me just uh remind myself what it is wait a second
this is so embarrassing Intel is firmly blaming motherboard manufacturers for
the ongoing stability issues with high-end 13 and 14th gen CPUs I'm sure
they're being totally reasonable and there's no way that Intel also shares
fault for the state of the processors that Intel itself designed this is after
several companies such as MSI and ASUS featured default settings on higher-end
boards allowing Intel processors to draw practically unlimited power and current
in a statement obtained by Igor's lab Intel is asking its board Partners to
please not do that and recommending board Partners warn users if any
unlocked or overclocking features are in use but team blue seems to be ignoring
their own role in this hardware and box has pointed out that Intel has been
giving board Partners a broad range of recommended settings rather than clearly
def in power specifications for years even claiming Intel considers boards
without power limits to be in Spec Intel's own marketing material shows
tests done on the exact motherboards they're now complaining about it seems
like Intel was so concerned about number go up they never considered CPU go boom
except metaphorically MSI announced they will
no longer be releasing AMD Radeon gpus
this comes just days after listings for MSI's Radon cards mysteriously
disappeared from stores across the globe it's also worth noting that MSI never
released a 7700 XT or 7800 XT after they
were announced by AMD in a statement to German Outlet Hardware looks MSI said
they are focusing on RTX cards instead of radon cards likely because NVIDIA
gpus sell significantly better and MSI
likes money how dare they it's not a
charity MSI claims they are still collaborating with AMD on other Hardware
most notably on motherboards and they didn't say they'd never make another AMD
GPU but this news feels weird it calls
MSI's relationship with AMD into question and it makes it feel especially
weird that the MSI claw was the first gaming handheld to use an inel core
Ultra processor with art Graphics instead of an AMD Apu like all of its
competitors but I'm not here to gossip I need at least one box of red wine and
some popcorn first I'll get you some James I wasn't asking but
meta has been doing basically everything wrong thousands of not safe for work AI
girlfriend ads are showing up on Facebook and Instagram despite meta's
own ad policies an investigation by wired found that at least 29,000 such
ads have been published on meta platforms with most of them using
sexually aggressive messaging and that's the worst kind of aggressive I don't
want Facebook telling me all about the lonely AI in my area I just want to wish
my problematic Uncle a happy birthday damn
unfortunately the story only gets worse as Apple has had to pull three
generative AI apps used for deep fake pornography after an investigation by
404 media the apps in question adverti themselves on Instagram using taglines
like undress any girl for free something
that makes me feel like taking seven consecutive showers and scrubbing myself
with bleach fortunately these ads may have been completely ineffective since
meta's automated advertising tools are completely broken the company's ADV vage
plus shopping campaigns service markets itself as an AI powered alternative to
manual ad campaigns promising less setup
time and greater efficiency it's the year of efficiency after all according
to several businesses the only thing efficient about the AI is how quickly it
blows through advertising budgets businesses using the service report that
it burned through their budget in a couple of hours and the ads didn't even
earn any Revenue come on meta advertising is one of the two things
you're supposed to be good at now your only achievement is making teenagers
depressed advertising isn't that hard for example here's our sponsor charge
they're the company that charges your devices but they yearn for more meet the
charge disc their new m.2 mvme SSD
enclosure weighing in at just 24 G it still manages transfer speeds of up to
10 gbits per second and packs a cooling fan that will drop your SSD temps by 20°

you a busy person on the go who doesn't have time to listen to Tech news well
now you can thanks to Quick bits call now us homeland security has invited a
range of notable figures from the world of AI including Sam Alman Jensen Wang
Sati Nadella and Sundar P to its new artificial intelligence Safety and
Security Board around eight of the board's 23 members
are from companies in the tech industry raising concerns about regulatory
capture and excessive industry influence the rest are chat
gbt but you know what they say keep your friends close and Sam Alman closer that
little shit's up to something I just know it AMD plan to launch an RX 8000
series graphics card that would have absolutely effed up invidious crap but
they canceled it according to Kepler L2 a well-known leaker of such things on
the Anan Tech forums Kepler posted a ippit of the GPU source code which lists
nine Shader engines three more than AMD's current Flagship GPU the RX 7900
XTX and the cancel card would have had more than twice the compute units
according to another user in the thread those specs would have allowed this card
to smash NVIDIA's RDX 490 harder than an idiot smashing the like button on a
Logan Paul video so why didn't AMD launch it probably because making a
working product is harder than writing a list of specs but that's just a theory a
game theory I just I've waited years
he's retired iPad OS has been officially designated as a gatekeeper platform by
the European commission and thus will
not be subjected to the same rules as I
non-pad OS under the eu's digital markets act that means that Apple now
has 6 months to allow iPad users in the EU to access thirdparty appsource
through their big touchscreen things in addition to their little touchcreen
things sounds like a lot of work to set up I hope they make it in time
complicated in more Apple news the company is pushing the Vision Pro 2 to
late 2026 according to mark gurman this is after analyst mingi quo also reported
that Apple cut its 2024 Vision Pro shipments in half before the headset has
even debuted outside the US surprisingly the $3,500 headset must not have sold
super well what and work on a cheaper version is not going great as apple is
flumix this a real it's quotation marks they're actually lemic by how to bring
the cost down that's what happens when you spend years over engineering and
overpricing literally Everything You release I don't say this often but I'm
genuinely flumix wow and the Abu Dhabi autonomous
Racing League held its first two races over the weekend One race featured only
self-driving race cars while the other pitted self-driving race cars against
human driving drivers now that might sound like an exciting competition of
man versus machine but the AI driven cars were slow easily confused by the
smoke from other cars and repeatedly spun out and crashed despite not going
very fast it's a ghost honestly it was a little bit like if you replace Dale
nhart with a bunch of nervous octogenarians trying to desperately hold
on to their driver's licenses but you've got a hold on another two days until you
can come back on Wednesday for more Tech news the math works out it won't come
any faster than that even if you pout
