Intel is pulling funding from its cute little Bare Bones Mini PC brand known as
next unit of compute or nux possibly
because they simply were not little or
cute enough look forward to this year's no knock November I'm Riley Murdock this
is techlinked and this news was initially reported by serve the home but
Intel confirmed it in a statement noting that their ecosystem Partners can
continue nuk Innovation and growth if they really feel like it but Intel is
going to bounce the cuteness level here does not meet the threshold it needs to
be cuter Intel filled in a somewhat empty Niche when it started making mini
PCS back in 2013 but it makes some sense that team blue would pull out now that
other manufacturers have developed their own mini PCS and Intel themselves have
taken to naming their products things like Intel next unit of compute 9
extreme compute element why the Disney culture has gotten out of hand
the Nook brand image was also muddied by Intel straying from nux compact roots in
favor of releasing larger and larger systems perhaps causing the company to
look down upon what it has created with disgust and contempt this isn't cute
this isn't cute at all
foreign Chinese state-affiliated hackers
exploited Microsoft's Azure cloud services to access the email accounts of
around 25 organizations including European and American government
agencies the group has been dubbed storm 0558 by Microsoft which is of course
lead speak for storm OSB a code name
that Microsoft is still working on decrypting they don't know why they
called it that in a blog post Microsoft said they began an investigation on June
16th based on customer reported information which is a very blase way of
saying the U.S government called and told us to fix our apparently storm
OSB acquired a signing key for Microsoft
consumer accounts that somehow worked on Microsoft's Enterprise Azure Services
because of a validation issue giving the hackers email access since mid-may a
spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not deny the attack
but accused the U.S of being the world's
biggest hacking Empire and possibly the most high-stakes use of the they started
it defense mom the un's coming in later just wait for
that for their part no U.S officials have stated what agencies were
compromised only that the hack affected unclassified systems it's kind of like
an orphanage saying I can't tell you which orphan was attacked but all of
their appendages still work don't worry they only got the boring stuff none of
the cute ones were affected the United States is apparently riddled with old
decaying Telecom cables that are leaching lead into nearby Soil and Water
and not in a good way the Wall Street Journal took samples from nearly 130
cable sites which were then tested by several independent Laboratories these
tests found significant leeching in 48 locations due to a network of over 2 000
ancient lead-lined cables from Roman times no many near residential
neighborhoods schools and playgrounds notably the daily recommended intake of
lead for children is zero milligrams the daily recommended intake for adults is
also zero milligrams apparently it's delicious
hard to keep away according to the invest investigation telecom companies
including at T and Verizon knew about the lead in these abandoned cables but
never acted on the risk of leeching and failed to even properly monitor the
cables for degradation most of these cables are from 50 to more than 100
years old and everyone except telecom companies apparently knows that lead
cables degrade over time unfortunately these types of cables tend to be laid
where phones are and phones are typically found where people live and
some people through no fault of their own just happen to be children now it's
time for quick bits brought to you by Magic spoon put a spell on your taste
buds with magic spoons health conscious yet wickedly tasty cereals they have
zero grams of sugar 13 to 14 grams of protein and only four to five net grams
of carbs per serving what sorcery is this
they're familiar flavors like Fruity and frosted will leave you more Enchanted
than Amy Adams was with the ale millions
in arrival they loved each other they were friends why'd you look at me when
you said that wave your wand at the link below and use code Linus for five
dollars off a magic spoon variety box and you're watching Disney Channel
I'd say that I love all quick bits equally but you know some bits are
quicker than others and some bits get stuck between my teeth for like a full
day so Amazon is claiming that the EU has unfairly labeled it a very large
online platform or Flop despite how
large online and a platform it actually
is specifically Amazon argues it does not meet the definition of a very large
platform under EU law which would require Amazon to meet elevated
compliance standards for privacy transparency protection of Miners and
moderation of illegal content Amazon very much does not want to be legally
obligated to allow users to opt out of targeted advertising so it's arguing
that it's being unfairly singled out because it's not the biggest online
retailer in every EU country just you
know Germany France Italy Spain Portugal
the United Nations International telecommunications Union organized a
news conference last Friday so journalists could interview 9 humanoid
robots and the Bots gave some ominous
responses surprising one told reporters

AI in response she said I don't believe in limitations and let's get wild make
this world a playground basically the un's attempt to get in on the AI Trend
was a lot like when your parents used modern slang they want you to think
they're cool but they just end up making you really uncomfortable
nothing has released the phone too don't worry I didn't hit my head between quick
bits the company nothing has released the phone phone and it's the second one
so there's a two on the end the phone 2 has some fancy new ways to make its rear
LED glyph useful has a significant jump in some specs like battery life charging
speed and camera quality but it also has a significant jump in price over the
phone one from 475 dollars to 600.
but come on it's the nothing phone too that's like double the nothing
and double the phone okay we had to open
