quiet to summon the tech news i must perform
the ritual
what's going on
microsoft's hardware requirements for Windows 11 11 have rubbed some
enthusiasts the wrong way against the grain counter to the suede
as they indicate some systems that may be running just fine won't be eligible
for the upgrade a recent it focused video from the company just made things
worse with a microsoft rep saying it sucks that some users won't get the
upgrade oh Windows 11 is not eligible for that
device but for those who will oh baby it's going to be the best
off the chain they're still saying that at microsoft
adding fuel to the fire is the fact that security researchers from the dolos
group just demonstrated a way to defeat a trusted platform module or tpm
security which is one of the main hardware components that microsoft
claims users need in order to upgrade to Windows 11.
do they really care about security or do they just want you to buy new Windows 11
laptops typical dirty company trying to incentivize customers to buy their
products disgusting what do you think this is a capitalistic society speaking
of evil corporations facebook is researching ways to paradoxically
analyze encrypted content without actually decrypting it a technology
known as homomorphic encryption this could let facebook engorge itself with
your data while also keeping it private
everybody wins strangely the head of facebook owned whatsapp which uses
antenna encryption says they're not pursuing the tech because that's not how
the force works this made facebook panic so they tried to distract us by posting
the story about how they're making vr headsets that protect your eyes on the
outside this is so cool i forgot all about the fact that
facebook also recently disabled the accounts of nyu researchers who were
studying how political ads on the platform targeted certain demographics
just slipped my mind yeah facebook says nyu is accessing data
that shouldn't be available to third parties kind of like the whole camera
analytical thing but the researchers say that they were silenced because
their work calls attention to the spread of misinformation on the platform and if
you get access to real information mark wouldn't get to post tone-deaf videos
for fourth of july so there's obviously an incentive there he uses them to power
his hydrofoil
and after weeks of controversy over claims of sexual misconduct and toxic
work culture at blizzard the game company's president j alan brack has
stepped down to be replaced by two other executives jen o'neil and mike yabara
now he's gonna make beef jerky what jl and brax baked jerky sweet baby
rage following brock's resignation activision blizzard ceo bobby kotick
said ongoing investigations that the company will hold people responsible for
their actions but that hasn't given many fans much confidence given that old
bobby is seen as being partially responsible for blizzard's decline since
their merger with activision

of california in suing the company for failing to disclose the number of hr

a linkedin job posting indicates that google is looking to license the cloud
gaming tech it built for stadia out to other interested companies so everyone
can have negative latency
whatever but google already announced that they were doing this
when they shut down their internal game studios so if anything this might be an
indication that they haven't actually secured any interested buyers yet which
is so weird because stevia is really uh
really good NVIDIA's acquisition of ARM has still not been approved by
regulators particularly in ARM's homeland the uk where the government is
considering blocking the deal because of security concerns
it's unclear what these concerns might entail but jensen is a little too
excited on stage sometimes while explaining something super boring like
sooner just a cloud learning or whatever plus he only wears leather jackets so is
he in the matrix is he real the one he's a virus
oppo has announced its second gen under display camera technology and unlike the
first iteration this design might actually result in decent photos so
unfortunately you won't be able to use this camera as an excuse for looking
haggard in your selfies i woke up on the wrong
side of the tracks the meridian i'm in china i have a
chinese phone whoa just wait for samsung to do a good job
youtube has begun its shorts fun program meaning select youtube creators can rock
these puppies lavender colored short pants oh they're
below the camera oh okay whatever it's not about those shorts anyway
youtube creators can start earning up to ten thousand dollars from the tick tock
style format which is previously ineligible for monetization
remember when we made those shorts for tech link no i don't we didn't do
that no we blocked it out and a senate report has given seven out of eight
federal agencies bad grades in cyber security with the department of state
commerce education transportation and veterans affairs all receiving
a d a giant thick d
homeland security did okay though which is probably the most important one to
have that right so russia can go ahead and pack the others
they can just use facebook for that anyway
and before you give this video grade don't because it's over and b we don't
have to live in that paradigm you know we can be less competitive but come back on friday for more tech news
and um you'll just get participation points
yeah good job james yeah go to detentions
