Top Story
- To the surprise of absolutely no-one, Glaze, a tool that claimed to protect digital artwork from being used to train image-generating AI systems, has been bypassed. (Ars Technica)
The idea was that it introduced subtle noise that would confuse an AI while remaining invisible to humans.
This is like creating an antibiotic that is deadly to germs but harmless to humans, when the germs in question are at least as smart as you, know exactly what you are doing, and have billions of dollars in funding.
So it lasted about a day.
Tech News
- Meanwhile Cloudflare has added a feature that blocks AI web spiders from crawling your site. (Silicon Angle)
This will work so long as the web spiders don't lie to Cloudflare.
So about a day.
- Kobo's Libra Colour and Clara Colour e-readers are fast (for an e-ink display), colourful (for an e-ink display), reasonably priced (starting at $150) and very annoying if your books aren't all on Kobo. (The Verge)
These are dedicated e-readers, so the one thing you can't do is install a competing app like Kindle. You have to export your Kindle books, one at a time, using a computer, and load them onto the reader.
- Samsung has announced a new 60TB SSD. (Tom's Hardware)
This is intended to replace hard drives in large storage systems, being much faster (over a million read operations per second), smaller, and more reliable.
It's not intended for super-heavy workloads that require a million write operations per second; for that you probably want to look elsewhere.
Price not mentioned but you can expect it to cost somewhere around ten cents per gigabyte - over $6000 for a drive this size.

I bought a humble bundle of books a while back that turned out to be on Kobo, and I had intended to export them to be readable on my Kindle. I've tried about five times, and haven't yet managed it, virtually every guide, walk-through, etc on how to do it either doesn't work, or refers to links and buttons that are not present in the UI I have. Not an experience that encourages me to purchase anything more through Kobo.

I'm in the same situation. I installed the Kobo app and left it at that.

You know your projects stand out of the herd. There is something special about them. It seems to me all of them are really brilliant!
