welcome child i have been chosen this day to deliver unto you the tech news
and you shall be exalted multiple reports have emerged claiming
that gamers rtx 3090 graphics cards are being bricked while trying to launch the
closed beta for new world an mmorpg being developed by amazon games wow jeff
bezos thanks the dozens of people with 3090s it's
still unclear what the exact cause is but it appears to have something to do
with the lack of a frame rate limiter in the game's menus causing said 3090s to
just make as many frames as they can and just
shut the brick and 3090s are incredibly hard workers with absolutely no regard
for their own well-being like Linus
it's also very likely that part of the answer here is an issue in NVIDIA's
drivers or firmware for now if you are playing new world make sure you've
enabled the FPS limiter unless you're looking to buy more graphics cards to
help fund jeff's next trip to space he needs our help that kind of implies that
you're buying graphics cards from jeff bezos is he a scalper amazon's just one
big scalping scheme isn't it the world's youngest bitcoin billionaire eric
finnman made waves when he announced the freedom phone last week a 500 device
meant to push back against big tech censorship but the tech savvy pointed
out that the phone appears to be at least a little scammy like bitcoin
i'm still holding the the phone's supposedly custom operating system
freedom os appears to be lineage os a
common fork of Android and the phone itself is identical to the umidigi a9
pro a chinese Android phone for 180 bucks on amazon
best of all the freedom phones uncensorable app store that claims to
not ban apps at all even like malware
is actually the aurora store an open source client for the google play store
i mean hey you absolutely have the freedom to get the freedom phone making
bad choices is part of growing up becoming an adult
you know killing people accidentally it happens and leaked data has led to
multiple reports revealing that pegasus a piece of spyware intended to help
governments track terrorists and serious criminals like riley
has been used by various regimes for surveillance of journalists activists
and human rights lawyers pegasus can access all data on fully
patched iphones and Android devices according to its developer the
israeli-based nso group nso claims it will cut off clients if they misuse
pegasus but who watches the watchers so
far they deny that evidence of misuse exists in the leaked records which lists
pakistan's prime minister and the french and iraqi presidents as victims they're
probably doing bad stuff macron
eating macrons all day too many amnesty international which helps
publish the data has released a toolkit that can determine if your phone has
been infected with pegasus but just to be safe we changed our minds
you should get a freedom phone freedom isn't

blue origin successfully launched its first crude flight yesterday carrying
jeffrey bezos and his companions to the edge of space jeff thanked every amazon
employee even the ones who pee in bottles and customer because they paid
for this which i'm sure just gave all of us a real warm feeling yeah that's what
i won we did but if you're mad at jeff for
spending money on a romp into space he gave 200 million dollars to charity when
he landed so everything's fine
he donated a billion to climate change just wash the problem away don't
actually do anything a leaked benchmark of Intel's alder lake 12900k shows the
CPU beating an AMD ryzen 9 5950x by 18
in a multi-core test and by 28 in a
single core test i'm not a mathematician but if these numbers are accurate then
it seems like the blue chip could beat the red chip by the percentages i just
said or the inverse of them 100 minus
no no i'm not a mathematician
days before NVIDIA demoed an rtx 3060 GPU playing games on an ARM-based system
running Linux a computer scientist named renee rebbe
that would be hard to type patch the AMD GPU driver in Linux to support a Radeon
rx 6700 xt on risk 5 systems
which includes systems with ARM processors so what am i reading we are
rapidly approaching a world of ARM-based desktop pcs with full graphics cards and
honestly i don't know if i'm ready for this jk give me those chips boy gimmie
let's go i drink it up
microsoft has backed off its initial claim that the performance enhancing

ubisoft shooter games and i'm bored already so we're done what do you mean
