the European Union has passed sweeping regulations over the cryptocurrency
market causing Mass reports of crying crypto enthusiasts who felt the
disturbance in liberos the law is complicated so aren't you lucky that
techlinked is the show where your boy LM Jesus and shooter editor Oliver come in
on a stat holiday to give you the lowdown the markets and crypto assets or
Mika regulation when it's not trying to look like Grace Kelly will require any
business planning to issue trade or store crypto assets such as crypto
exchanges or digital wallets be licensed to do so within the entirety of the EU
on top of this the ACT is meant to combat tax evasion money laundering and
Wharf profiteering by making transactions traceable something that
will anger crypto Bros since they're the number one on the list of people who
hate tracings just above my high school art teacher the tracing will come into
effect January of 2026 so if you've been eyeballing that very stylish Black
Market RPG 7 you better hurry the rig relations will also hold exchanges
liable for customer losses as one of the biggest pushes to write this legislation
was a collapse of FTX so to say
something I'm sure hasn't been said since November 2022
thanks Sam begman freed good on you last
week a massive number of ASUS Routers lost network connectivity perhaps in a
symbolic representation of the customers the company will lose if they can't go a
single week without a controversy on Wednesday the Rog Forum blew up with
users claiming their router froze after it had run out of memory which is weird
since the only thing my router has to remember is to not drop connection while
I'm streaming monk starring Emmy Award winner Tony Shalhoub in the case of all
users their issues occurred at the same time yet none of them were hosting
online Call of Duty matches you know how it's always the host who has like the
crappiest connection on Thursday ASUS put out a news release stating an error
in the configuration of their server settings file was the cause of the issue
if that sounded too vague a redditor an R sysadmin explained that ASUS pushed a
corrupted definition file for ASD a built-in security demon found in many of
ASUS's routers that's what you get for trusting demons
you ask them for fame and they put you on an internet show where you'll never
be quite as loved as the kind silly guy with a mustache is this is what my
friend said happened to him not me different guy he uh he lives in Decatur
and free to play game War Thunder experience heavy backlash when they
tried to change the in-game economy which allows me to make the sense of
Pride and accomplishment reference I needed to complete my I use Reddit bingo
card if I win I get to erase one cursed
post from my memory forever earlier this month developer Gaijin entertainment
proposed a bundle of changes to the in-game economy that would make it
harder to progress after matches without paying real money in response the
players of the 20th century combat Sim did what they have been trained to do
for years Precision bombing of the
game's Steam Reviews and wouldn't you know it Gaijin listened to the community
writing a post on the game's Forum announcing the changes were being
removed and the post didn't even leak any classified documents impressive
maybe they should have stopped there though because the creative director of Gaijin decided to write a post on the
game's site explaining how the economies of free to play games work which a lot
of War Thunder players felt was out of touch perhaps because a lot of these
players have spent thousands of hours pretending to fight an early 20th
century battles in a free-to-play game but I don't know just a thought maybe
they know a little something about being a Dutch give me a little something about
free play games now it's time for quick bits brought to you by vesi they aim to

moral to this story China has banned U.S
chip manufacturer Micron from Key infrastructure projects after a National
Security review the country began in April the state cyberspace agency of
China took a break from traveling to Mars in the metaverse I assume to claim
micron's products have serious network security risks just one day after
President Biden and other G7 leaders agreed to reduce dependence on China
last month the U.S asked South Korea not
to fill any Chinese chip shortfalls if Micron was banned
but she didn't invite president Yun sikul to your fancy G7 party digit Joe

diapers in a paper published in nature the engineers cite the demand for
low-cost housing in Indonesia and note that the infrastructure for recycling
things like diapers don't exist outside of developed countries Ergo diaper
houses by sterilizing and shredding the diapers the researchers found that they
could use the literally sheer material to replace up to 40 percent of the sand
and concrete that's used for non unload-bearing walls though technically
a non-zero percentage of that wall will
be made of loads and will have loads more Tech news for you on Wednesday so
