Indiana Jones And The Dominoes Of Doom Edition
Top Story
- Federal prosecutors are investigating whether Sam Bankman-Fried manipulated the market for the Terra and Luna stablecoins, leading to their collapse. (New York Times)
Which would be just mildly ironic, because that in turn burst the bubble that was propping up the mad web of fraud and delusion that was FTX, Alameda Research, and their 130 subsidiaries and spinoffs.
Tech News
- Nvidia is set to release the 4070 Ti (which used to be called the 4080 12GB Edition) at an MSRP of $899 (which used to be the price of the 4080 12GB Edition). (WCCFTech)
Yes, they changed the name. That's it.
- Apple has finally abandoned its plans to scan photos on your phone and have an AI with all the common sense of a deer watching the approach of an 18 wheeler report you to the feds and have your children abducted if it sees a photo of your toddler in the bath. (Wired)
Not exaggerating, that's happened.
- Instead they're supporting end-to-end encrypted backups. (Apple)
Finally.
- The reason they didn't do that sooner? Also the feds. (Cryptography Engineering)
Glowies ruin everything.
- Why does JSON.parse corrupt large numbers? (JSON Editor Online)
Because JavaScript is still trash.
- Lenovo has announced its new small tablet - the Tab M8 Gen 4. (Liliputing)
It's actually worse than the Gen 3, which was in turn worse than the FHD model I have that won't charge anymore.
Disclaimer: Just restart everything every six hours. That will fix it.

Regarding the Tab M8, Poked around on the intarwebz yesterday and I do see the repair board
available on the U.S. version of Ebay for under 20 bucks U.S.D, might be worth it, looking at the board I think it may be a bolt in fix rather than a solder in fix. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=lenovo+tb-8705f+charging+port+board&_sacat=0 I went ahead and ordered one in case mine ever runs into the issue.

First of all, anything that pushed all of the CPU load onto the client was born as trash, and if ecmascript (and its degenerate offspring javascript) has proven anything, it's that such a broad and hasty (and insulting) generalization was entirely true.
I don't really have a second point here, but I guess I'll close by saying it's all trash.

Also, I managed to drunkenly recall that ecmascript was in fact the retarded progenitor of js (and got the order of the jumbled nonsense letters correct) without looking it up, and that should count for something!
