TechLinked Tech news you can count on unlike my uncle's fingers he lost them
in a tragic high-fiving accident with a saw apparently Microsoft is updating
Windows 11 to make it better to use at least for people who love pop-up ads
if they do exist after the last major update brought notifications telling
Windows 11 users to back up their files with OneDrive the company has decided to
increase the number of ads in the start menu in the newest preview build of
Windows 11. these words for our own good Microsoft knows these little pop-ups
will appear for local account users and will mention all the free services you
can get if you log in with a Microsoft account which Microsoft would very much
like you to believe you must do in order to take advantage of amazing new
features like Cortana they probably don't want to use the word advertising
to describe their notices promoting products or Services even though that's
the exact definition of the word because the word advertisement has a negative
connotation instead they've decided to call these pop-ups badging a more
positive word that calls to mind things like confrontations with police or the
verb to Badger meaning to annoy with
frequent or persistent requests right right
thank you for the badging so the way you
would describe what's happening is to say Windows 11 is being overrun with
intrusive pop-up badging not the other thing now for our weekly segment where
we discuss the newest NVIDIA 40 series GPU to leak this time it's the 4060 TI
the card is rumored to have a launch cost of 450 which would be 25 more than
the 3060 TI or just five times the
current inflation rate oof what a steal
it's every time it's rough out there at least one partner card specs has leaked
colorful's eye gaming OC variant seemingly confirming that the 4060 TI
will have 8 gigs of vram this leak comes just over a month before the card is
rumored to launch which is somehow always when these NVIDIA GPU leaks
happen for reasons indecipherable to humans a schedule I'm sure there's no
spreadsheets involved these leaks come from Tech powerups GPU database editor
who also claimed the base 4060 TI's boost clock will be 2535 megahertz while
colorful's version is only 45 megahertz higher much lower than the inflation
rate of Hertz didn't quite sell that one
yeah that one hurt of course there's still no word on the specs Gamers really
care about will it fit inside a PC case that humans actually own or will we once
again be treated to a GPU bulge reminiscent of that one guy at the hotel
pool who's always in an undersized Speedo and it seems like apple has had
an 18 karat run of bad luck after falling victim to multiple bugs across
their services multiple iPhone users have complained their phones started
constantly asking for their Apple ID passwords scaring iOS fans into thinking
their accounts may be compromised but that doesn't sound as bad as the iPhone
pop-ups asking users if they think Tim Cook is cute that I just made up right
now Tim put it in there because he just needs a little confidence boost you know
do you think I'm cute as for the real Apple ID password issue it isn't limited
to iPhones several users especially in Brazil and Japan have been having
similar issues with logging into Apple TV some users on Twitter are complaining
of being logged or even locked out of their apple IDs well at least one

mutant Hedgehog and Yakuza enthusia just over at Sega have decided to buy Rovio
entertainment the developer of Angry Birds for 776 million dollars the mobile
game right now is it I was gonna say it's basically a retro game at this
point Sega says they bought the company to strengthen its position in the global
gaming Market apparently relying on the kind of strategic thinking that kept
their gaming console business alive moving from furries to avians more
animals personally I don't get why Sega would be interested in a company whose
popular animal mascots once dominated the entire platform but now only catered
to a smaller yet rabid fan base they're just so sexy anthropomorphic animals
there's just so much you can do with them so many things you can draw them doing valve has restricted almost 2500
accounts thanks to a negative review of the game warlander posted by a user
called freedoms 117. who pointed out it's anti-cheat
software continues to run and send data after closing the game because they
described how to remove the software a steam moderator accused Freedom's 117 of
showing how to tamper with anti-cheat systems which fair enough that's what
and restricted their account as well as
anyone who thumbs up the review you're
all hackers you're all against me Associated In fairness to valve's
moderators they were just living up to their job title freaking out and banning
thousands of people is a moderate response according to most social
platforms stardew Valley is getting another update after more than a year
according to one-man Dev team Eric
concerned ape Barone the update will add

Samsung is in negotiations with Microsoft to switch the default search
engine on its devices from Google to
Bing Google has been the dominant player in search for a quarter Century but now
they're in a rush to add AI features to their search engine what they've dubbed
project Magi Google has also had a long
history in AI research obviously but they held off in incorporating AI into
Google search due to its tendency towards inaccuracy of course now we've
all decided that accuracy doesn't matter if we can pretend we're talking to a
tiny deranged Consciousness trapped in a computer so this all makes sense and a t
has launched a new radar-based alert system dubbed cherished Serenity for
elderly and disabled people at heightened risk of Falls and injury in
the home okay according to at T unlike other systems which require cameras or
wearable trackers this system is designed to keep the elderly safe while
allowing them a greater degree of privacy nothing says privacy quite like
using radar and AI to track your grandma through walls like an enemy submersible
