D-Day Late Final Extra Edition
Top Story
- President Trump has signed a stay of execution for TikTok for 75 days. (Tech Crunch)
He signed a whole lot of things, but I'll leave that to others to cover.
The law is still in effect, and TikTok still has to divest to an owner that isn't covertly at war with pretty much everyone, but they have a little longer to refuse to do so.
Tech News
- Trump also signed an order renaming Obama's US Digital Service to the US Doge Service. (Tech Crunch)
All federal agencies were also instructed to form DOGE teams to work with the USDS.
- AMD's Ryzen 9000 series will launch in March, the company announced. (Notebook Check)
So it's going to be at least a month before we start getting real details.
- The GPD Duo is a new laptop that comes with a Ryzen 370 12-core CPU, up to 64GB of RAM, and two 2880x1800 OLED touchscreens. (Liliputing)
And a keyboard. It's a laptop, not a tablet or a detachable device, and the bottom screen is permanently attached.
The top screen can be flipped out of the way, or detached entirely and used as an external display connected by USB-C.
Memory is soldered but it supports two M.2 2280 SSDs.
- ChatGPT now delivers DOS-on-demand. (The Register)
With a suitable prompt it will go out to the web and pummel the target website with queries from OpenAI's network of servers. Probably not all that effective but enough to be annoying.

Yeah, the executive orders are maybe a little interesting, but proper analysis is either a specialist task, or a bit time consuming. Lotta orders, apparently.
The early reports sound like the orders are pretty good, and well and simply written.
The joke is that Trump supporters have already killed three billion Americans, and are now proceeding to kill sixty six billion foreigners.
More seriously, this may finally do what it was needed for, and lay to rest the hypothesis that Trump might have attempted to give a lawful order to initiate the boogaloo, and had been prevented in doing so by various nefarious actors.
I suppose that the prisoners need to be released before they can file civil suit over the human rights abuses. And they need to win a few human rights abuse cases before the Magnitsky act can be enforced against the various malicious actors.
