China has said it released its very first homegrown open source operating
system to reduce its dependency on American Tech which is concerning they
won't need America at all once they develop their own way to deep fry a Snickers bar and when they start making
Joe Biden memes oh it's over I'm Riley Murdoch this is techlinked and this is
open kylen 1.0 the most recent version of an operating system first launched in
2001. according to Chinese State media the software is based on Linux was built
by a community of around 4 000 developers and is used in its space
program as well as Industries like finance and energy open kylen apparently
gets its name from a mythical beast called the chi Lin meaning I've been
saying it wrong this whole time which is fabled to appear alongside the imminent
arrival or passing of a sage probably passing if that's a reference to Windows
they're it's so done and the OS gets most of its source code from the Linux
distribution Ubuntu with the register finding hundreds of references to Ubuntu
in open chilins config files so
yeah it's basically Ubuntu turns out it's not as homegrown as your boy she
would have you believe it's made from scratch in the same way your mom's
Bisquick pancakes are now I know this sounds like just another cheap Chinese
knockoff but that's not true 22 years of development and at least 4 000
developers sounds pretty expensive to me
apparently NVIDIA may have left the bag in too long because someone just spilled
their bitter ass tea according to unverified claims from
Russian YouTube channel pro high tech NVIDIA is pressuring its board Partners
to stay away from Intel's battle mage cards by threatening to withhold their
own chips from any manufacturers that decide to work with Intel what no NVIDIA
the company that launched the GeForce partner program five years ago to force
NVIDIA Partners to use different branding on AMD graphics cards oh yeah
that yeah I actually wasn't shocked just now though NVIDIA might not even need to
use these underhanded tactics though because according to YouTuber Moore's
Law is dead battle mage's development is having major issues and won't release
this year as planned it's possible it won't even launch until the second half
of next year G10 the planned Flagship die for battle mage has apparently been
nerfed harder than a toddler playing Dart tag with John Wick that'll get a
mixed communicato initially it was designed to compete with NVIDIA's 4080
but now it may end up slower than the 4070 or even canceled and these rumors
don't seem that far-fetched in the wake of Intel discontinuing their first party
a770 limited edition only a couple weeks
ago maybe they needed to stop production to focus on working out battle mage's
Kinks hot or maybe they felt like they
had to stop production after naming it limited edition although the Raptor Lake
CPUs looked nothing like dinosaurs and do not like water
so explain that science tried rinsing it
off it planed and Google has been testing their
medical AI chatbot in hospitals since April bringing us one step closer to
robot doctors and even more uncomfortable prostate checks metal
fingers get very cold might be less comfortable though because it's not like
a person doing it please bend over Google apparently believes this AI named
med-pom 2 could really help in countries that have limited access to doctors
according to an internal email speaking of internals medpom2 knows a lot about
yours because unlike general purpose AIS like Chachi BT med-pom 2 has been inside
you all along Med Palm 2 has been
trained on questions and answers from medical licensing exams and even a
curated set of medical expert demonstrations but hasn't been trained
to romance other doctors like in the hit documentary series Gray's Anatomy one of
the hospitals testing the chatbot is the Mayo Clinic which you may know as the
website you use as a second opinion after WebMD says you have cancer the
Mayo Clinic is actually a massive not-for-profit research hospital that
invests the billions it makes in Revenue into cutting-edge research making
numerous medical breakthroughs throughout its 159 year history donate
today and now it's renowned doctors are
testing an algorithm that is reported to include more inaccurate content in its
responses when compared to human doctors I mean a lot of patients lied about how
they got that shampoo bottle up there it's only fair their robot doctor

get to finish the intro because a community project project has restored
functionality to the old Windows update web pages allowing PC users who just
can't move on from Windows 95 to update their OS now the project devs warned
that they're really doing this for the sake of preservation and currently the
website only supports up to Windows 98 but the group plans to add support for
Windows me 2000 and XP just an FYI these
aren't new updates they're the old ones Microsoft released back in the day also
the website is not affiliated with Microsoft and you should use the pages
at your own risk but at least now you can relive the days you spent in the
computer lab at your underfunded Elementary School installing Quake even
though you're not supposed to what are you doing over there gaming for me was
Math Circus developers sir Mangler and TRW have made it possible to get
emulators running on all Xbox series consoles not just the ones in developer
mode for a two dollar subscription to their patreon you can get access to
dolphin retroarch and other emulators while the old method of paying 19
dollars for developer mode has always worked sir Mangler points out that some
International users don't have access to the payment options needed to pay the 19
maybe you also want to share emulation with your kids so that they can suffer
as you suffered adversity in the form of being stuck on the same level for hours
builds character here you go son Ninja Gaiden Get Wrecked
irdetto the way that I'm gonna pronounce it the company that owns digital rights
management software de Nuvo is out to prove that it does not hinder game
performance a complaint that's been lobbed by everyone from Tekken 7
director katsuhiro harada to Anonymous redditors trying to justify why pirating
is totally morally permissible while
some tests have seemed to prove de nuvo's negative performance impact
others have not and irdetto's CEO told
ours Technica this is because the tests that he agrees with are good and the
ones he doesn't agree with are flawed if you ask me the only thing being proved
in this debate is the existence of confirmation bias
NASA is sending their Advanced Valkyrie robot to one of the most dangerous
places in the known universe by which we mean Australia it was founded by
criminals the robot is on loan to Woodside energy
in Perth where it will perform remote caretaking of uncrewed and offshore
energy facilities for NASA this is an opportunity to test valkyrie's ability
to perform routine repetitive work in dirty hazardous conditions and
inhospitable environments such as the Moon Mars and yo mama
and over the week I'm so sorry and over the weekend a
Smuggler was caught entering mainland China from Macau with 420 hashtag blazed
m.2 ssds which authorities estimated to
represent a combined value of 33 thousand dollars only a few days later
another man was caught entering China from Macau with 306 Intel CPUs but he
gets no points for originality that was just you know do your own thing it's
unclear how the first man was caught but the second Smuggler was discovered after
border officials noted that he was walking funny
shampoo bottle luckily the Undeclared parts were
discovered wrapped around his waist and legs rather than having been stored in
what is traditionally known as the prison wallet or as we call it the
shampoo womb Excuse me while I make a withdrawal from my friends
and unless you're in prison you'll be able to come back on Wednesday for more
Tech news as agreed to on the terms of
your bail and if you are in prison make it that way through withdrawal from your
prison wallet and take out your phone
