you know i just really love computers
and news about computers getting kicked out of a store is super on brand for a
punk so it kind of makes sense that sony has removed cyber punk 2077 from the
playstation store players can thank the game's pervasive bugs and shockingly
poor performance on the playstation 4 for the removal along with sony's strict
refund policy players had trouble getting refunds see because sony
couldn't seem to comprehend the fact that the game had passed store approval
but was getting so many complaints like well it just just just didn't make sense
microsoft is leaving the game up on the xbox store for now and cd projekt red
has said that they'll give players refunds directly if they have trouble
getting them elsewhere but the game's removal from the ps store caps off a bad
week for cd projekt red as the most anticipated game of the decade turned
out to be one of the worst launches of the decade
if you're a playstation 4 player who still wants to play something cyberpunk
related there is good news though you can check out the new cyberpunk themed
items in death stranding which is
that so many hours a week awesome the cyberpunk death trending thing is
only on pc lol so that's funny i guess microsoft is reportedly working on
developing its own custom designed ARM processors for use in the company's
cloud servers and possibly future
surface devices while the surface pro x which initially released last year is
powered by the microsoft sq2 processor
i like to call it the sweet 2 for short it actually isn't designed by microsoft
at all they worked with qualcomm to modify that company's existing laptop
soc the snapdragon 8cx so an ARM processor designed fully
in-house could help microsoft compete with apple silicon-powered ARM macbooks
now bloomberg sources say microsoft's ARM chip is being developed in the
companies as your department not in the surface division so don't get
your hopes up yet if you're an armed fanatic like me
i love arms they're great i love to bear them and this week u.s
cyber security officials revealed that multiple u.s government departments and
prominent corporations were hit by an extremely sophisticated and dangerous
cyber attack the hackers were able to exploit a back door in it software
called orion made by texas-based solarwinds to breach the networks of
microsoft the energy and commerce department the national nuclear security
administration oops the security firm fireeye and more microsoft was able to
partially mitigate the security hole used by the hackers but it's believed
that they might have had access to these networks since march
federal representatives haven't said who they think is responsible for the hack
but some have pointed the finger at cozy bear the group believed to be sponsored
by the russian government don't be fooled that bear isn't cozy
at all very uncomfortable now it's time for the
bat quicks brought to you by the seasonic prime
ultra titanium pc power supply it's the creme de la creme of power supplies with
ultra high efficiency and an 80 plus titanium rating it's also fully modular
and comes with a little testing doodad so you can turn it on without plugging
it into your motherboard that's super handy if you're trying to set up a
custom water cooling loop and it has a quiet fluid dynamic bearing fan with
hybrid fan control to keep the noise down so go check it out it's backed by a
12 year warranty it could live longer than you buy it at the link below
now it's time for the uh you know what they're called the jeans spots today
i don't even care google has been served with its second antitrust lawsuit of the
week and its third of the year this one comes from a coalition of 38 states and
accuses the tech giant of favoring its own products in search results google
responded with a blog post that said we've sold so few pixel phones we
couldn't possibly be favoring our own devices i mean we've basically given up
on these things at this we don't even put flagship processors in them anymore
just kidding that's not what they said uh google responded with a blog post
that said that redesigning google search would hurt the internet and you don't
want to hurt the internet do you facebook is doubling down on its attacks
against apple who plans an update for iOS 14 that would allow users to block
apps from tracking them for advertising apple has now responded saying that
facebook can still track users just like it did before
if the users let them do it and facebook if you think that's bad
you might be the bad one the us government apparently thinks chinese
companies are bad in general so they've added dozens of them to the country's
entity list which is essentially a black list for companies that aren't allowed
to do business with the us among the new additions are drone company dji and smic
one of china's biggest chip makers i've never tasted chinese chips do they taste
red and epic games has announced spotify
is now available on the epic game store which
sort of makes sense since the two companies are united in their hate for
the apple tax it's also noteworthy though because it's the first non-game
listing on the epic games store maybe
epic is gearing up to make the case that they have a robust app store that can
compete with apples look we have
spotify and finally a joint team of scientists
has successfully teleported qubits across approximately 27 miles of fiber
optic cable of course this isn't like actual teleportation it involves
transmitting information using entangled photons that mirror each other's states
despite being separated across vast distances so it's like barely cool at
all yeah but it totally is cool like trust
us and this episode is also cool because it
doesn't overstay it's welcome see that it's over come back on monday for more
tech news just like this but completely different because monday is going to be
a new day
