Gonna Need A Bigger Volcano Edition
This is Ouro Kronii of Hololive English Generation 2. All the names of this generation are tortured multilingual puns, so her fellow streamers mostly call her Crow or Kronini.
Gura of EN Gen 1 commented on Kronii's debut that she wanted to hear her read a toothpaste commercial. She's actually done that now - there's a clip out there - but this with the Minecraft animation is even better.
And another version just because - this time using Kronii's original model.
Gonna Need A Bigger Volcano Edition
Top Story
- Australia's High Court - that is, our Supreme Court, because our Supreme Courts are lower courts - just pooped in everyone's cornflakes by ruling that if someone posts a defamatory reply to your Facebook post, you are personally liable. (Gizmodo)
That is, not Facebook, and not the person who actually committed defamation.
Now this is Gizmodo and the article is full of vacuous left-wing drivel, but even they see the problem with this, calling it one of the court's "dumbest decisions in recent memory".
Since this decision directly hurts the entire media industry in Australia, though, left and right alike, we are sure to see poorly-formulated and ill-considered legislation rushed through Parliament with bipartisan support to make the situation even worse.
There's more at Australia's ABC - also run by left-wing lunatics - but it doesn't contradict anything at Gizmodo.
- Chicken nuggets are back on the menu! Six boxes of gluten free nuggies set to arrive tomorrow morning, and three boxes of tendies as well. And, yes, choccy milk.
Might have to turf an old bag of frozen beans from the freezer to make room. With the random shortages going on I keep it packed full, but somehow there's always a bag of frozen beans I don't remember buying.
Tech News
- Intel's NUC X15 reference gaming laptop seems to get a lot of things right. (WCCFTech)
It comes with (all specs up to) an 8 core 11800H processor, RTX 3070 graphics, 15.6" 165Hz 2560x1440 display, 64GB of RAM, and two M.2 slots (one PCIe 4.0 and one 3.0).
I/O includes Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (that is, 10Gbps), WiFi 6 and wired 2.5Gb Ethernet, a full size SD card slot, and a headphone jack.
And it has the Four Essential Keys.
Weight is just under 2kg, which is typical for a full size laptop, though the LG Gram models get well under that.
Price is TBA.
Really the only thing missing is a 16:10 display - it's the more common 16:9 - but other than that it looks pretty solid.
- Meanwhile Intel's E-2300 Xeon lineup is here, just in time to be made obsolete. (WCCFTech)
These are low-end server chips based on the 11th generation desktop parts, but 12th generation desktop parts are only a couple of months away.
On the other hand - and it's a pretty important hand - I don't know what the state of support is in sever operating systems for disparate core performance in Intel chips, since the 12th generation parts will be the first from Intel to actually have that.
- ASRock Rack has a bunch of server motherboards from the Xeon 2300 range. (Serve the Home)
Including one that can support 128GB of RAM, dual 10Gb Ethernet, and 8 SATA ports in a mini-ITX form factor.
- Russian internet company Yandex - the country's Google with all that implies - is facing the largest DDoS attack in the country's history. (Bleeping Computer)
The biter, bited? Or is this someone else?
- Acronis True Image is now Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office Plus Ultra Case Nightmare Green. (Bleeping Computer)
I think I got that right.
Anyway, buried somewhere in the updated management interface there is still a button that backs up your PC.
- "There will always be some number of instances of software on the internet that are out of date and being exploited" says Atlassian's CISO. "Mostly Confluence. Wait, turn that thing off." (ZDNet)

Every time I hear Kronii speak, she sounds spot-on identical with a very prominent VA that I know (And actually have met.).

Having heard more of Kronii now - until recently I'd only caught her in their weekly all-member collabs - I'd be surprised if she didn't have VA experience.
