Tech link is not legally liable for any feelings of breathless exhilaration or
dystopian horror experienced while viewing our show by watching this part
of the video you agree to that and everything else I say gotcha around 2500
pages of technical documents purportedly detailing the inner workings of Google
search has leaked online the documents
directly contradict years worth of public statements from Google about how
their algorithm Works including that rankings aren't determined by click
Centric user signals they are they don't consider subdomain separately from
domains they do and they don't consider the age of a domain or penalize new
sites they do again Google itself has not confirmed or denied whether the
documents are authentic possibly because the leak's Trove was allegedly acquired
when Google itself accidentally publish them to GitHub that's a Microsoft site
and they were saved by an external automated documentation service if true
the charitable read here is that Google was trying to off youate the way its
algorithm works from spammers and potential competitors the uncharitable
read is that Google is a lying liar Who Lies Beyond these kinds of direct let's
say fibs marketing expert Rand fishkin says the documents reveal that Google
search prioritizes big powerful Brands over pretty much everyone else even when
small independent sites are more authoritative trustworthy and relevant

PayPal has announced that it is launching an ad Network that will Target
its 400 million users with personalized promotions based on the data the
companies's collected on their past purchases and spending habits and
honestly PayPal I don't need ads for more body pillows you should already
know that PayPal says that users will be able to opt out of their data being
included in the ad targeting which isn't quite the same as opting out of their
data being collected the only option PayPal appears to offer for controlling
what information they collect about you is deleting your account this would also
presumably affect users of venmo and browser extension honey which PayPal
controls the announcement follows a rough patch for PayPal including
significant layoffs tepid growth projections and an underwhelming stock
performance that being said this could also be an opportunistic bid to take
advantage of the doj's ongoing antitrust lawsuit against Google's own ad business
who knows maybe in 20 years 30 Years it'll be PayPal writing absurd checks to
Regulators in a desperate attempt to make their legal problems go away open
aai says that it has formed a new Safety Committee less than a month after it
dissolved the old AI Safety Committee this new even safer committee will
apparently be led by CEO Sam Alman who obviously just has a ton of time on his
hands and loves meetings as well as board chair Brett Taylor and fellow
board member Nicole Seligman Seligman
you decide according to open ai's blog post the first task of the Safety and
Security committee will be to evaluate open ai's current processes and
safeguards for 90 days after which they will report to the full board and
presumably recommend the creation of a third final safest Committee in a
fantastic case of awkward timing former open AI board member Helen toner has
spoken publicly on Sal maltman's firing and rehiring late last year according to
toner a major factor leading up to the surprise dismissal was a series of
serious Lies by Omission on the part of Altman including failing to disclose
ownership stake in the open AI startup fund and failing to notify the board

is the latest state to pass right to repair legislation for Consumer
Electronics with a bill that goes beyond requiring that companies provide
documentation software Ware data and repair tools to Consumers and
independent repair shops at a fair price the new law also limits Parts pairing
which other states have shied away from due to Industry push back this will
likely put even more pressure on Apple who have softened their position on used
parts in recent months like an uptight mom folding to the social pressure to
order pizza by pretending it was her idea but only plain cheese Microsoft has
announced a new partnership with Chinese Tech Giant 10cent that will let window
11 users install Android apps through the 10cent app store which will be
integrated with the Microsoft store Al be it only in China it's unclear whether
this new Arrangement involves the Windows subsystem for Android used by
Microsoft's Amazon app store partnership which the company suddenly killed a
couple months ago what is clear is that Microsoft is either scared of making a
deal with Google or they just don't know
about the Google Play Store New rumors have surfaced regarding NVIDIA's
purportedly upcoming ARM based processor not only is Team Green allegedly
partnering with mediatech to take on qualcomm's Windows on ARM offerings next
year but NVIDIA may be turning to Intel's foundaries for the Silicon it
may sound a bit weird for Intel to help usher in the end of the x86 architecture
that they developed in the first place but hey if someone's going to put an end
to your life's work it'd be nice to at least make a buck off its demise
turnning into hot dogs the Japanese space agency jaxa has lost communication
with its Akatsuki spacecraft in orbit around Venus not Uranus losing contact
with Akatsuki is significant since it's currently the only active Mission at
Venus probably because the planet is a hell Escape in addition to newly
discovered volcanic activity Venus supports a surface temperature of 464 de
c a surface pressure 92 times higher than Earth's and it's covered in clouds
of sulfuric acid the worst kind of acid
yet we sent a probe there anyway proving that even the greatest sign ific minds

Gigabyte has built a motherboard with a PCI slot that can support graphics cards
weighing up to a whopping 128 lbs which
would sound completely unnecessary even 5 years ago but it seems like recently
the GPU industry has heavily selected for trunk bench life previewed the board
named the b650 aorus Pro X uh USB 4 and
while it has some other cool features I just couldn't concentrate on them after
imagining plugging in a graphics card the size of a dog maybe even three or
four dogs depending on how small your dog is it wouldn't even have to work I'd
be happy and just looking at the proportions of the slot it would be a wiener dog you know what else would make
me happy if you came back on Friday for more Tech news please I need this
