No, airdropped NFTs cannot empty your crypto wallet. (CoinDesk, September 22)

OpenSea bug lets hackers empty crypto wallets with airdropped NFTs. (Bleeping Computer, October 13)

I mean, sort of... I read through the article, and it looks like there's a long series of factors involved:

A hacker mints an NFT with a malicious SVG file attached as the ERC721 metadata image.
They then airdrop this NFT into the wallets of their victims.
OpenSea imports every single NFT across three different blockchains, so the new NFT shows up automatically.
User clicks on the new NFT.
This is surmise on my part, though I don't see how else the rest could happen: Metamask was using the SVG tag rather than the IMG tag when the detected image type was SVG.
The SVG file has embedded JavaScript, and the SVG tag permits the JavaScript to run. (The IMG tag would block it.)
A Metamask (or other wallet) prompt pops up to connect your wallet. User clicks on that was well.
Another Metamask prompt pops up to siphon your funds out of your account. User clicks on that one as well.
All your money is gone.

well, don't do that then

AMD's Radeon RX 6600 is here. (PC Perspective)

It looks like a reasonable card. It's a little slower but a lot cheaper than the Nvidia RTX 3060. In fact, it's by far the cheapest current generation card when looking at actual retail prices rather than suggested prices.

It should fly through any game at 1080p - it's about 40% faster than the Xbox Series S - and it is small, quiet, and power-efficient. It's not really remarkable in terms of performance or value; it's a mid-range card in a market where 100% markups are the norm. But if you just want something to get by for a year or two, it at least won't break the bank.
I previously mentioned a problem with Windows 11 that caused AMD CPUs to slow down by as much as 15%. Well, the first update has arrived for Microsoft's new operating system and it's made everything much worse. (Tom's Hardware)

If you're not being paid to use Windows 11, even if you are generally inclined to upgrade because, I don't know, you want to run Linux GUI apps under Windows, give it a couple of months.
Nvidia may also be new releasing low-end cards soon. (WCCFTech)

In fact, there's an entire new rumoured product lineup:
- RTX 3050
- RTX 3050 Ti
- RTX 3060 Super
- RTX 3070 Ti 16GB
- RTX 3080 Super
- RTX 3090 Ti
The RTX 3050 and 3050 Ti already exist as laptop parts and have been expected to show up as desktop cards for a while. The 16GB 3070 Ti (or something like it) has been rumoured for quite a while; I mentioned that Nvidia's mid-range is short on memory compared to AMD; the current 3070 Ti has 8GB where the competing RX 6800 has 16GB.

The 3060 Super is a little weird if it is real. The rumoured specs suggest a card with more compute power and RAM than the current 3060 Ti, but less bandwidth. Nvidia doesn't have the large on-chip caches that AMD has, so that will skew benchmark results significantly depending on the game.
Is your Apple II or Commodore PET getting a bit slow and creaky? The 65F02 is a pin- and binary-compatible replacement CPU that runs at 100MHz. (e-basteln)

It's an entire circuit board - it needs extra chips to convert the old 5V signals to modern logic levels that are closer to 1V - but it it's the same size as the original 40-pin DIP chip and drops straight into the socket.

10 I doubt that 6502 board would speed up an existing system very much. That chip was really sparse on registers (3 including the accumulator, IIRC, but it's been many years), and you were supposed to use the "zero page" memory for your temporary storage. So it accesses external memory quite a bit more than contemporaries like, for example, the 8080A, which had six general purpose registers plus an accumulator.

In 1977 that didn't matter much since you could include a relatively speedy SRAM for that page in your design. But that thing is going to be running 1% of the new CPU speed leaving your system I/O bound nearly 100% of the time.

Pretty cool project, though.

Commodore PET - now there's a machine that I have not seen since grad school forty years ago. We used one to control some liquid chromatography equipment, IIRC.

The keypad was punky with not actual separate keys, but those "bubble" type actuators under a polymer sheet. I would be shocked if such could last for forty years without having to have been replaced more than once.

I think he is based in the vicinity of Edmonton, Alberta, so when his video titles include the phrases "cold weather" or "snow", you can rest assured that is what you'll see and learn about. Not fancy, down to earth, and with a dry sense of humor, his videos never fail to amuse and teach.

129 "So who's going to pay for round the clock operations, the labor rate will be stupid high "

But on the flip side, the shipping cost itself may drop.

Right now, shipping operators have dialed into the shipping cost the assumption that once it arrives, the ship will ride at anchor for as much as two months, all while crewed, and running hotel services such as lights, heat, meal prep...etc.
So pay and fuel costs continue to mount while the ship is idle at anchor.

If unloading times are reduced, allowing the ship to get back underway, generating revenue, then the actual cost to ship a container may drop back down closer to normal.

So....possibly higher stevedore costs may be offset by lower shipping costs.

>>So....possibly higher stevedore costs may be offset by lower shipping costs.

That's speculative, the upfront costs of paying overtime and night/day/holiday differentials to stevedor's, longshoreman and teamsters is going to be a massive upfront cost that's going to pushed off ultimately to the consumer.

And at the end of the day with inflation moving towards hyperinflation, the current costs of shipping will seem like a bargain.
