a no way you came back to watch again
honestly I'm feeling truly blessed right now it's so good to see you I think
Jacob is trolling me with these intros beeper has announced that they are done
trying to crack iMessage after weeks of playing cat and mouse with apple frankly
we're tired of it too you can only laugh at the thought of Tim Cook as a large
cat for so long meow I am large like
what in a statement on the company blog beeper said that each time that beeper
Mini goes down or apple nukes it the company's credibility is affected they
hope their newest and last solution is something Apple can tolerate existing
specifically you need an old jailbroken iPhone and a Mac or Linux computer to
allow you to register your phone number for iMessage through beeper mini beeper
Mini's iMessage connection software is now fully open source as well so anyone
that feels like phasing off against a trillion dollar company is welcome to
try bet said the US government as
the the doj thinks app's behavior is
cring as the doj's antitrust lawyers
reportedly met with beeper Representatives last week on top of that
the FTC may also be investigating while they didn't mention Apple by name in
their blog post yesterday they did say in big letters they will closely
scrutinize Tech Giants claims that competition threatens privacy or
security and that that's exactly the reason Apple gave for shutting beeper
down just like that Tim Cook has gone from cat to Mouse squeak squeak I'm in
danger Microsoft's deprecation of Windows 10 could cause 240 million PCS
to wind up in the landfill according to research by Tech market analysis firm
and medication you should ask your doctor about Canalis one of the major
reasons for this are the strict Hardware requirements for upgrading to Windows 11
many CPUs that are only a few years old render their PCS ineligible for the
newer OS canalyst whose side effects may include painful gas points out that
while many of these PCS could be recycled their ineligibility for upgrade
would increase the cost for refurbishing and reselling them making it far more
likely that they'll just be thrown out and yes Microsoft is offering extended
security support for Windows 10 but they haven't announced a price yet chances
are it will be most cost effective for consumers to Simply buy a new machine by
the way if doesn't of you are typing just use gnu/Linux into the comments
feel free to walk millions of tech illiterate people through the installation and use of even such
userfriendly dros as Ubuntu or Linux Mint and when all that voluntary it work
starts to make you feel depressed ask your doctor about
canalys Apple scientists have developed new ways to make it more feasible to run
large language models locally on iPhones and Macs in a paper released this month
researchers detailed techniques for running AI models on Hardware with
limited Dam the researchers were able to store the model's parameters on flash
memory which is more abundant than Dam on mobile devices and then officially
transfer that information to dram using two methods the first windowing allows
for the AI model to reuse previously processed data reducing overall data
transfer the second method row column bundling utilizes flash memory's High
sequential data access speeds to create and transfer larger chunks of
information that are quicker to process these methods combined not only allow a
device to run models twice the size of its available Dam but also gets live
data to an AI model faster specifically
up to five times faster than using a CPU and 25 times faster than using a GPU
allowing the model to process tasks more quickly This research could help pave
the way for iPhones to get their own locally run Ai and when that happens
iPhone users will become 100 times faster at bragging about their iPhones #

issued a safety recall for all of its 1.0 and 1.1 version 16 pin 12volt high
power 90° angled adapters and 180° hard connectors one
go jeez Louise users are cautioned to
stop using them immediately if not sooner and to avoid handling them while
the system is in operation but the recall only affects adapters angled
cables are unaffected the exact reason for the recall is not clear at this time
but cable mod has noted that a design defect could cause the mail connector in
these devices to loosen which can lead to excess heat and potentially melt your
expensive Electronics into hot slag typical male connectors am I right
ladies I'm assuming you wrote that I wrote all
of that quick bit except that Arion ctage the 18-year-old cyber
criminal best known for hacking rockstar while in police custody has been
sentenced to serve an indefinite Hospital order which is basically when
you stay in the hospital instead of prison after being found unsuitable to
stand trial due to a diagnosis of severe autism this isn't necessarily a life
sentence it's supposed to end once medical professionals and the ministry
of Justice decide ctage is no longer a threat that decision may be difficult
since ctage was deemed extremely likely to reoffend based on how he kept saying
to officials that he was definitely going to
reoffend so going to do it hospital food for him
for a while Microsoft has announced they are deprecating Windows mixed reality
which came as a surprise to many who didn't realize it
existed the move makes sense for the company since most Windows mixed reality
headsets are pretty much deprecated other than Microsoft's own Hollow lens 2
which costs as much as a Vision Pro but with far worse specs and none of the sex
appeal it's basically the headset equivalent of a bowl cut I don't know I
like when I puke it the ASUS announced a
new monitor that can switch between 4K at 240 HZ and Full HD at 480 HZ at the
Press of a button the company is calling it the world's first dual mode monitor
which makes it awkward that LG announced an identical monitor just hours
earlier uh funnily enough LG refers to
their product as the world's first 4K OLED gaming monitor with dual Hertz
feature a claim too specific to count as an accomplishment one of us is going to
have to go home and change like sure I can truthfully say
I'm the world's first tech news guy with a mustache named Riley Murdoch but that
doesn't mean it's impressive and it turns out that Sony won't be removing
all the discovery TV shows you bought
quotes on your PlayStation anymore or at least they won't be taking them away for
a bit longer Sony has apparently reached a new licensing agreement with Warner
Bros to retain all 1300 Discovery titles
available through its service for at least the next 30
months yay you own them for a little bit longer
it's an uncomfortable reminder of my own mortality that one day I will die and
not even my complete Digital Collection of all nine seasons of Cake Boss will
endure I thought if anything would last it's Cake Boss but nope What About Love
Island and we endured so much Tech news this year you may have forgotten all
about it thankfully our annual year-end Roundup will come out this Monday so you
can remember the good times and the bad times alongside us because that's the
