Top Story
- Elon Musk now has $46.5 billion in committed financing for a Twitter buyout. (CNBC)
There's still the poison pill that Twitter's maliciously incompetent board has coughed up, but Musk may be able to bypass the board and take the offer straight to shareholders.
Tech News
- Russia has sanctioned Mark Zuckerberg, Kamala Harris, and assorted other undesirables. (Tech Crunch)
Took them long enough.
- The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a pretty decent tablet. (Hot Hardware)
Fast CPU, great screen, good pen if you want to do art, and a pretty functional camera. Not cheap - starts at $699 - but well designed and well constructed.
- Nvidia's next-generation Ada Lovelace GPUs could be a thing. (Tom's Hardware)
- Or they could be a different thing. (WCCFTech)
Can't even get their rumours straight.
- The Dunning Kruger effect is not autocorrelation. (Andersource)
Unless it is.
But it's probably not.
- QNAP. (Bleeping Computer)
Again.
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is here. (Thurrott.com)
I'll give it a try soon. I was pleasantly surprised by 20.04, and that's getting a bit dated now, so I'm keen to see how well this new release works.

Dear Pixie;
In case there's a conflict of interest, I submit this technical question a day early and will understand if you can't provide an answer.
Windows 10, Firefox Broswer, uBlock Origin
I swear up until a few months ago, I was getting no ads at Ace of Spades. Now I do. I'm not adblocker savvy, but please - in the name of all that's decent - can you give me instructions on how to get rid of the freaking toe fungus ad at AOS???

Sorry for the trouble, ma'am. Someone turned me on to a way to block Ace's ads. It's kind of extreme, but it's worth it not to see those images!

I don't like blocking the ads at Ace's, but those toe fungus ones are gross, so I did it.
I love that RTX 4090 "mockup" that's the thumbnail of the MLID video at WCCFTech, with giant Comic Sans letters. That seems about right, except that it's not RGB.

Rather than Musk actually planning to buy twitter, I'd like to think this is all part of a plot to make the woke idiots self-destruct in a very public way.
The enemy of my enemy is someone I'll help get the shit beat out of fighting my enemy instead of me.

Pixy, for whatever reason, I no longer get a Favicon(?) on my tabs for the acecomments.mu.nu side of things, this is on Win 7pro and Win 10 pro/ultra on the latest Chrome Browser and...(hangs head in shame) the latest Pale Moon browser. I'll live without it but figured I'd mention it.
