Daily Tech News 29 August 2021

Top Story

  • I have a copy of the mee.nu system up and running on the new server. I do need to test more before switching over, since we're upgrading the versions of Python and the database server at the same time - but we're certainly getting there.

    Expect things to be about twice as fast as before as well.


  • Is Microsoft hiring State Department spokescritters to handle its communications?

    You can't upgrade old hardware to Windows 11. Well, no, you can, but you have to do it manually rather than using the automated upgrade tool. Well, no, you can do it manually, but then you won't get any updates, ever. (PC World)

    Wait...

    No updates.

    No updates.

    Wrap it up, I'll take it.

Unsolved Mythteries: The Hole In HoleEN Video of the Day



There's a hole in the Hololive English Minecraft server. It's claimed three lives - Kiara (twice) and IRyS, and nobody knows who created it.

So by the power of weaponised autism, the internet discovered the random seed used by the HoloEN server, recreated their game world in its original state, did a frame-by-frame analysis of all 173 Minecraft streams, narrowed down the creation of the hole to between the 9th and 12th of October last year, and blamed Ina.


Who says she is Ina-cent.

Yeah, more zero day exploits than you can blame on the Australian gubmint.

4 The way Microsoft shovels out new features along with the security patches, I'm not convinced at this point that having your system fully updated is a net win.

5 See the Cosmos DB fiasco as an example - they added a shiny new feature and broke all database security completely for everyone.

So AssBook is now silently dropping any "unsafe content" sent via private message. Nice.

Stalin must be jacking off in his grave about such.

Twatter/ButtBook/et al/Big Tech is now a clear and present danger to the Constitution of the United States. They are incompatible with the ideals laid forth therein.

They must be destroyed. Death to them.

Serious question. Why are so many vaccinated people scared shitless of the unvaccinated?

I want to know that, too.

18 Serious question. Why are so many vaccinated people scared shitless of the unvaccinated?


Because they're scared shitless in general?

I am vaccinated and I oppose any discrimination based on another person's vaccination status. That is where I stand. Enough is known and too much is still unknown to force anyone to act against their will. I understand the impulse behind vaccine passports but I think it is wrong.

23 From my layman's pov it appears Microsoft is building a wall to banish Win 10 asap. Why? What spy features in Win 11 make that crucial? Maybe MS wants to save us all from phishing attacks? *smirk*
