go riley you're late oh tech news is never late nor is it
early it arrives precisely when it means
to you i've done gandalf better than that sure
reviews are out for NVIDIA's new GeForce rtx 3050 graphics card and it's just
okay but you know who's not okay NVIDIA not that you would know that
you never ask according to a bloomberg report after a year and a half of trying
to get its 40 billion acquisition of ARM approved by regulators NVIDIA is
preparing to just drop it drop that ARM
while ARM's parent company softbank is making plans to take its subsidiary ARM
public all the way to the bank softly to the public bank regulators in
ARM's home country the uk as well as in the u.s and other jurisdictions have
been worried NVIDIA would have too much power over its competitors if the deal
went through and have been a royal payne and jensen's jacket since it was
announced can he feel through it calling the deal off at this point might
actually be a good thing for NVIDIA in the short term though as minus a few
billion in breakup fees it's nothing NVIDIA may have ended up paying much
more than 40 billion if the deal went through thanks to
increases in their stock value look at the activision cost but look at the
active vision that they could have had so much more expensive but even if jensen puts
on a brave face i can't imagine he feels too good about it that leather jacket
doesn't just protect against physical harm i would bet it's hiding some
emotions under there too don't get it wet though with those tears
youtube ceo susan wojiki
published her annual letter yesterday and some astute readers noticed that in
one paragraph susie implied youtube might get into crypto and nfts because
such tech has highlighted a previously unimaginable opportunity to grow the
connection between creators and their fans i didn't know there was a
connection between creators and their fans coin how do i get in on this hot
drop send me all your money first
interestingly the letter was published the same day that the company's heads of
gaming and creator relations both left to work at separate crypto companies you
know where they didn't go though diem facebook's old cryptocurrency project
which is reportedly getting ready to finally throw in the towel after trying
to launch a truly mainstream stablecoin for years if you can't dm
if you can't carpe if you want to see a similar fate befall
youtube's nft ambitions there may be hope that youtube can be persuaded its
brother google just dropped its plans to replace browser cookies with the widely
criticized flock system and will be going forward with a still criticized
but slightly better targeted ad system called topics look if nfts are useful
for anything other than pyramid schemes they'll survive okay
just just let it play out james is confident
are you and microsoft will finally launch wider support for Android apps in
Windows 11 in an update next month after testing the feature with a limited pool
of users since october official support will still be limited to apps from
amazon's app store even though there are quite a few workarounds already to get
the google play store running as well which microsoft is just like pretending
doesn't exist uh we have the app store for Android you know made by amazon
both start with a google who
the Windows 11 update will also bring changes to the way the taskbar works to
make it act more like the one in Windows 10. why did we change it but what
microsoft should really do is address the bug that is still causing users with
AMD cpus to experience persistent stuttering in their systems which is
apparently linked to Windows 11's tpm requirement how can this be the same
company that makes xbox game pass which is awesome
it's like microsoft is xbox when they haven't had their coffee yet you've
heard that joke before it's like microsoft is monday and xbox is friday

i picture them like nanobots Intel has weaseled out of paying a 1.2
billion dollar fine imposed by the european commission in 2009 over Intel's
practice of essentially paying manufacturers to delay shipments of AMD
desktop pcs back in the day i'm assuming they're not doing this now Intel and we
just didn't pay for 12 years Intel initially appealed the fine in
2014 because the ruling violated its human rights
a reason which was rejected but this appeal was granted following a new
economic analysis the economy was okay with it turned out AMD didn't care
that's the game google faced fresh criticism for scanning documents in
drive when some users had files restricted for copyright infringement
when those files consisted of an otherwise blank document with a single
digit it's just like a document with a one that that's the loneliest number
thankfully google confirmed this is a bug and is working on a fix which is
good because if numbers are copyrighted we're all going to jail for a long time
