Daily Tech News 14 February 2022

Top Story

Not up on the news sites yet but GiveSendGo was briefly taken offline by a redirection attack that sent visitors to GiveSendGone.

Also GiveSendGo information apparently sourced from a misconfigured S3 bucket is circulating on the internet. For contributors this just seems to be names, dates, and amounts, the same information that was already public on the site. For campaign organisers it apparently includes photos and scans of drivers licenses and other ID. I've seen screenshots of the contributor data, but no IDs, so I can't confirm that exactly.
In slightly brighter news, that 4TB SSD that suddenly got an massive unexplained discount right when I was looking for a 4TB SSD - and went up by 50% right after I bought it - suddenly got a massive unexplained discount when I was back on Amazon checking my order statuses. (Everything has been delivered except some gravy. Long story.)

It's A$1500 if I buy it through Amazon US; that seems to be the MSRP. I don't know what Amazon's pricing algorithm is playing at; yesterday on Amazon AU it was A$1307, this morning it was A$873, and after I bought one, it went straight up to A$1147.

Anyway, where I said I shoulda bought two, now I didda bought two. Also I'm $200 over budget for my lab buildout, but I think I'll cope.

Tech News

Intel's Sapphire Rapids vs. AMD's Milan-X server CPU. (WCCFTech)

The benchmarks aren't of huge interest to me personally because they are all floating-point workloads, but there's an interesting chart on cache and memory latencies. AMD does surprisingly well here, getting 17.3ns latency to 1.5GB of total L3 cache. Intel has 28.4ns latency to - I think - 180MB of total L3 cache.

Which is not what the chart says but the chart is wrong.
Why we at $FAMOUS_COMPANY Switched to $HYPED_TECHNOLOGY. (Saagar Jha)

If you spend much time reading tech company blogs, you've seen this post hundreds of times. About 10% of them have some true insight, the rest are just overpaid hamsters spinning in their wheels.
I'm in the wrong business. Or in the wrong branch of the right business. A white hat hacker was awarded $2 million for pointing out a critical bug in the Optimism layer-2 blockchain. (Crypto Adventure)

"Hey, did you know you can create infinite ETH tokens on your site?"
"Thanks, fixed, here's two million bucks."

Not a bubble.
France is planning to build up to 14 new nuclear reactors. (The Guardian)

At least 6, and as many as 14.

Germany meanwhile apparently plans to starve in the dark.
This is actually not stupid: Tech startup Giga runs a mobile bitcoin mining operation. (CNBC)

When oil exploration hits natural gas instead, the gas is often burned off (which is safer and better for the environment than letting it escape).

So what Giga decided to do is build a gas-powered mobile Bitcoin mining facility that can be towed out the oil field and tapped into the gas on the spot. Mining Bitcoin is immensely wasteful, but that gas was considered waste in the first place, so any purposeful use is a win.
No shit, Sherlock: YouTube's Olympics highlights are riddled with propaganda. (Wired)

That's the entire reason China wanted to host the games in the first place.
NFT marketplace Cent has suspended most transactions because NFTs are mostly garbage. (Reuters)

I mean, yes, this is true, but you might be in the wrong business if you're planning to just come right out and admit it.
Copyright holders want the United States to invade Iraq again. Or something. (TorrentFreak)

Sure guys. Whatever. We'll get right on that.

17 Our cats were put into the basement at night and let room of house in morning, not that that didn't stop cat bars happening anywhere, just controlling them at night.

Posted by: Skip at February 14, 2022 04:24 AM (2JoB8)

18 Our basenent is 1/3 crawlspace that the cat would have access to if we allowed him down there. Enough of a problem when he slips in unnoticed that we don't intentionally let him go down

19 I feel for ya, MLii. One of my previous cats would do that: gorge. get comfy somewhere (my bed usually!) barf. run away. repeat.

Ugh, that cat barfed every. day. Tried hairball remedy, diet changes, portion control... nope. Barf and more barf. 17 years of barf.

30 Ditto, JQ.

Hang in there. You know better than anyone that some days are gonna be worse than others. I struggled a long time with my patience. The calmer I am, the better result with mom.

Caregivers who do this professionally amaze me with their ability to just get it done. Maybe because there's a different emotional attachment . Idk. But it is a learning experience for certain. Watching someone you love slowly lose their abilities is the hardest/most gut wrenching thing I've ever lived through.

I reiterate: if you're relying on tech for anything, even a "Christian-owned" company like GiveSendGo, you're relying mainly on Ars Technica commenters. That's who you're trusting with your data, your details, your privacy, and your money. Because that's who tech employs.

Tech is a battlefield upon which we cannot win. Sorry to be the bearer of sad, true news.

53 Mornin' again, folken,

As I mentioned on the ONT, Chekov the Ailing Codger Cat has withdrawn from us. If he is in the living room and I come in and settle down, he gets up and goes into the bedroom and stays there. He eats, he uses the litterbox, he moves better than 2 weeks ago. But he has developed a dislike for our company. Maybe it's because we're continually forcing meds on him; maybe he just wants to be alone. But it's disheartening. And I have to wonder: Is he sending a "signal" that his time has come? I dunno.

54 Oh crap. Disney necromancers are digging up Futurama for another go (even though it had a terrific final episode), and they are doing it WITHOUT Bender Bending Rodriguez.

He's hated the anti-inflammatory from the beginning. The vet tells me it's a cherry flavor, and *I* hated those cold meds when I was a kid. The appetite stimulant may not taste as bad, but he hates us forcing it down his throat. The gabapentin goes onto the inside of his ear, the skin of the pinna itself, and he doesn't mind that.

For a cat like him, who insisted for years on sitting on or near us, to withdraw like this is disturbing.

64 I'm sure it is disturbing. But Some Cats near the end just have so much energy and just withdraw into themselves . It happened with our last cat. She was a lap cat who then wanted to sit be herself in another chair. I had another cat who became an indoor car from outside and at the end she just wanted to be outside and went off to die by herself. I know this is very hard, Wolfus, but please consider whether it's time to have a kind vet come and let him go with you and Miss Linda around him.

Fen, I'm beginning to think you're right. He's barely maintaining himself, there's no real joy in his life (though he does purr steadily while we groom him). I don't want to drag this out much longer -- and I am wondering if he does. Neither he nor I seem to be enjoying very much at this point.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at February 14, 2022 06:34 AM (c6xtn)

80 Wolfus, I had a big furry bomber of a cat who got progressively weaker due to his diabeetus. After one very, very bad episode of the shakes, watching this once-strong guy drag himself across the floor, I knew it was time to let him go.

It's so hard because we have to make this decision when our love for out pets is at its strongest, after years of devotion.

92 I read where France is building from 7 to 14 new nuclear power plants. Many, many here in the USA are getting old and probably near retirement. But a friend and his wife both throw their hands up in horror when I say we should do that. And fracking...his wife goes into a no, no, no. Wait until they get their heating bill this month!

102 Fruit flavoured coffee just doesn't work. I think only a few fruit-flavoured teas work, if it comes to that. Costco had a nice maple-flavoured coffee by Zavida a few years ago, but it's disappeared and all they have now is hazelnut-vanilla, which tastes too artificial.

Lots of F150 size truck drivers (and SUV drivers) are already spending $100 to fill their tanks every week or two. Small car drivers are spending $40-$50.

And they'll have no idea why their vote did that, and they'll celebrate the idea of getting an electric vehicle that they won't be able to charge or drive anywhere, and that will be required to feed back into the grid if needed.

That is interesting because one thing that is certainly clear, at least from my view of the landscape here in Texas, is that A LOT of people are pissed off at the status quo and many people strangers to politics are jumping in and getting a swell of supporters from the tens of millions of us disenfranchised from the process because the Uniparty has decided to represent Stan, China and the globalists.

That means all of her oppo research that was collected by the ~~Stasi~~ FBI on her political enemies is stale if those politicians are primaried out by these gray men running for office.
