Daily Tech News 25 December 2021
Top Story
- Is it even worth working on open source software anymore? (Gavin Howard)
The world largely runs on open source software, but not only is 99.9% of the revenue swallowed up by huge corporations, those corporations work tirelessly to make sure that the people that made that revenue possible will never see a penny of it.
This is why GPL - and AGPL - exist. Richard Stallman might be crazy, but he's not wrong.
The same author notes that the problems are not isolated to open source software, but plague the entire industry.
I think that's one reason so many developers jumped on cryptononsense - you can skim the money off directly without needing anything from Big Tech.
- Yesterday we reported on upcoming dual-socket Threadripper workstations and today there's a benchmark of a dual-socket Threadripper workstation. (Tom's Hardware)
Except that this benchmark is of current-generation chips, not next-generation.
This is more marketing than engineering because Threadripper chips are exactly the same hardware as Epyc server chips, just configured with different power/performance curves. The motherboards are different, but there's no fundamental reason you couldn't just two Threadrippers into a server board.
Tech News
- Gigabyte's 2022 Aero 16 will have the Four Essential Keys. (VideoCardz)
And the new 12900HK CPU, new 3070 Ti or 3080 Ti graphics, and according to the article a 16" 3840x2600 display. That's an odd resolution but it's roughly 3:2 which is becoming popular. And it's an OLED display, with 100% coverage of DCI-P3 and HDR500 support.
But looking at the photos it seems to have lost many of the ports of the 2021 model - it only has three USB-C and a headphone jack, where the current model also has HDMI, mini-DisplayPort, USB-A, and wired Ethernet.
- Chrome release 100 will be out soon, wreaking havoc for users of badly-written websites. (Cyber Kendra)
Not because it changes anything, but because those sites sort in alphabetical order rather than numeric and won't understand that version 100 is newer than version 99.
- The Iodyne Pro Data is interesting but horribly overpriced. (Serve the Home)
It offers 12 M.2 slots in a fairly compact case, and eight Thunderbolt ports so you can connect multiple computers to it. It handles RAID and some sort of filesystem sharing though it's not clear exactly what, since it's not a conventional NAS.
- Door Dash will require all employees to spend a day doing deliveries once a month. (MarketWatch)
All employees are understandably upset, but this is overall a good idea. A lot of companies would be less terrible if everyone had to spend a day a month performing the shitty jobs at the very roots of the corporate tree.
June
- On June 1, Ryzen desktop CPUs received integrated graphics, the 3080 Ti arrived because why not, Wikpedia's own Wikipedia page got hit with a DMCA takedown notice, and Microsoft announced a package manager for managing packages.

- On June 4, the Supremes reined in the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which had been seen by prosecutors as a convenient way to double criminal charges on almost anything, we gave up and ordered pizzas, firewall your firewalls, and Cloudflare was a big fat bag of money waiting to be sued.
- On June 5, Microsoft blamed "human error" for the suspicious disappearance of inconvenient search results, the Radeon Pro W6800 was a very expensive way to buy a Radeon 6800, Medium was the latest company to post a "no communism on company time" notice, there was nothing more expensive than a free tier, Apple really hated its own developers, and DON'T CONNECT CRITICAL FUCKING INFRASTRUCTURE DIRECTLY TO THE INTERNET.
- On June 6, Apple fixed the problem frying M1 Macs' SSDs - which cannot be repair or replaced, all Zen 4 desktop CPUs would have integrated graphics (latest news is that it will just be four RDNA2 clusters, which isn't enough for gaming but is better than nothing), Big Tech discovered that getting socialists elected is a terrible idea, Windows 11, and Amelia from Hololive raised $18,000 for an animal shelter... In three minutes.
- On June 7, Microsoft Edge continued its descent into crapware, Chia ruined everything, and the USAF contracted SpaceX to deliver rocketmail.
- On June 8, Rule One of Never Trust Anyone Club, Quis stealodiet ipsos stealodes, it was the one week of the year when Apple pretended not to hate all its own developers, CPUs were back in stock, and antivirus software became indistinguishable from a virus.
- On June 9, paging James Burke, laptop makers ran out not of CPUs or GPUs or RAM or anything like that but the power interface chip needed to provide Thunderbolt powers, patch all your Adobes, patch all your Windows, and everyone's favourite foul-mouthed shit-posting drug-dealing USDA-approved Yakuza dragon announced her retirement.
- On June 10, Bitcoin vs. the volcano, ransoming cows, the 3070 Ti arrived in reviewers' hands to a resounding meh, Western Digital and Seagate ramped up production of disk drives - just a bit, knowning full well that Chia would crash, patch your Chrome, Ring said, and a certain foul-mouthed shit-posting drug-dealing USDA-approved Yakuza indie vtuber gained 200,000 followers overnight.
- On June 11, networks didn't, Intel offered $2 billion for RISC-V designer SiFive, dirt as a service, hackers broke into Electronic Arts' network and discovered there are worse things than chipped Cthulhu on toast, Samsung's security kinda sucked, and Melbourne really sucked.
- On June 12, Microsoft promised they would finally stop updating Windows 10 in 2025, the 11900KB was as fast as the 11900K at half the power and you couldn't have one, TSMC expanded the expansion of its expansion plans, BuzzFeed won a Pulitzer Prize - for documenting China's genocide, where the New York Times won the same prize for covering up Stalin's genocide, Slack considere harmful, and the New York state senate passed a right to repair bill - sort of but not really.
- On June 13, Codecov got hacked because they are retards, Audi / VW got hacked because they are retards, McDonalds got hacked, blockchain ruined everything, China ruined blockchain which was maybe a good thing, no-one was silly enough to announce PLC flash, click on this link, and when in doubt bribe the reviewer.
- On June 14, any sufficiently profound incompetence was indistinguishable from malice, 80% of the audience of the Microsoft / Bethesda E3 stream was watching Hololive, dude, where's my flying car, room 222 got banned, and a prebuilt system that didn't suck.
- On June 15, Apple ruined everything, GaN chargers were small but expensive, there was a new Razer laptop which didn't have the Four Essential Keys because they never do, everyone got hit by ransomware, and the new US National Security Advisor was a complete wanker.
- On June 16, Windows 11 leaked, Amazon blocked FloC too, RAID expansion arrived for ZFS, Google's phishing protection sucked, and exercise bikes got hacked, somehow.

- On June 18, it was time to stop worrying and start panicking, update your Chrome - yes, again, Carnival joined the ransomware fleet, Ukrainian hackers actually got arrested, and AMD's latest high-end video card was not actually available to purchase, at all, anywhere.
- On June 19, Windows had eight inconsistent UI designs, the US Senate proposed tax credits for new silicon chip fabs - which is far from the worst waste of money they've come up with recently, handy HTML tricks, Russia banned VPNs that were too secure for their liking - and hacked Poland's email servers, Oregon legalised human composting, and I forgot that I was the one who came up with that name
- On June 20, DDR5 RAM was here - only to disappear once there was actually a use for it, QNAP had a dual 100GbE adaptor so you could get hacked 100x faster, North Korea hacked South Korea, yet another news story that was previously an episode of Doctor Who, and journalists turned mental illness into performance art.
- On June 21, the New Yorker tried to blame anime on Donald Trump, carbonised chikuwas, the Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX was honestly not worth it, Intel promised that its GPUs would eventually not entirely suck, we all sang the Doom song, and I wisely excluded Rust from the list of the three most important programming languages.
- On June 22, we got a leak of the upcoming Ryzen V3000 embedded chip and it looked exactly the same as the latest leak of the upcoming Ryzen 6000 laptop chip - because it is, China continued ruining crypto mining and therewas great rejoicing, being 100% compatible meant reproducing all the bugs too, and ADATA was in the news.
- On June 23, AMD's upscaking solution worked pretty okayish sort of, SiFive caught up with Arm chips from 2017, Brave had its own search engine sort of, a bug found in 800,000 firewalls got patched sort of and the beatings would continue until the smiles improved.
- On June 24, a couple of kids in South Africa made off with $3.6 billion in Bitcoin - I wonder if their remains were ever found, John McAfee was found dead in a Spanish prison, NewsBlur got hacked and held to ransom and restored from backups and was back online in a couple of hours, the Microsoft Store was crashing on Windows but fortuntely not on any of the other operating systems that it doesn't run on anyway, "What they should do is tell the Chinese government to shove a pumpkin up its ass and sing Lili Marlene.", and West Taiwain was working its way forward into 2014.
- On June 25, Microsoft actually got around to announcing Windows 11, you need to fill out the TPM report first, Sydney had its first brush with Bat Flu lockdowns, we remembered when $600 billion was a lot of money, Hong Kong's Apple Daily got written to the blockchain, and someone needed to go into orbit, unplug the Hubble, blow on the connector, and plug it back in.
- On June 26, Macs couldn't run Windows or corporate VPNs, update your Dell SupportAssist - or uninstall it, either works, we had no computers that could run Windows 11 either, kids these days, Mozilla announced Rally, a 100% secure data sharing system that didn't exist, making it really easy for the thiees, and right to unglue.
- On June 27, Microsoft's own flagship Surface Studio 2 wasn't on the Windows 11 compatibility list, Google delayed Floc by two years after the entire world told them to shove it, genocide, schmenocide said YouTube, Huawei was sus, Microsoft signed the package of a Chinese rootkit, and NASA did a software update of a helicopter on Mars.

- On June 29, Microsoft didn't know what hardware you needed to run Windows 11 so please stop asking, the Fuck You software pattern, the SafeDollar stable coin plunged in value by, uh, exactly 100%, and with everyone fleeing Google's AMP they rebaited the hook and started fishing again.
- And on June 30, Microsoft apologised for the confusion over Windows 11 and explained that the cheese was supposed to go in the silver cup and the addled mice in the bronze soup bowl, the HP Pavilion Aero looked pretty good actually expect for the limit of 16GB of RAM, yes, those WD My Books got hacked, because the master password was, um, commented out, Russia hacked Denmkar's central bank, and the 700 million publicly accessible emails of LinkedIn users were publicly accessible because they were publicly accessible.
Party Like It's 1979 Video of the Day
For Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK, Germany, Japan, and most of Central and South America, and people with VPNs, this studio version has much better audio.
Disclaimer: Not their fault. In 1979 New Zealand barely had writing, never mind television.

My advice is don*t buy a Dell. The laptop I purchased is a total piece of crap. My college student child had to purchase a course of study specific high end Dell. We bought the warranty package to cover her 4 years. Her original machine crapped out just prior to the end of a semester and it took 4 months of haggling to get Dell to replace it.

And then we burn the country down to get rid of the spiders, get blazing drunk, and blame it all on New Zealand.
Posted by: Pixy Misa at December 25, 2021 02:42 AM (MqQvv)
Don't know which model you got, and while none of my Dell systems have died outright over the years, I've had a few lesser problems. They're not perfect.
The reason I keep buy Dells though is they give you the service manual. If you're handy with a screwdriver you can take their laptops completely apart and replace every component.
Posted by: Pixy Misa at December 25, 2021 02:45 AM (MqQvv)
Two things. Look the model up and read the reviews?
CAREfully go over the specs.
My current desktop system is no longer OK to buy in Calif, because they say it uses too much energy (meaning, its too damn powerfull)...
Dells are OK, depending on the specs of WHAT you buy. Just like any other computer company.

Hey Pixy -
What is your opinion on 'ethnicity' facial recognition? Say you had 20 photographs of an individual and while they did have some divergence - in the end the majority leaned in one direction.

I'd show it a picture of a grapefruit with Post-It note with the word "Irish" stuck to it and see what it says.
Those systems seem to work as long as they're fed data that's within the boundaries expected by their designers, but go completely haywire when the data goes outside those boundaries.

Thanks. I think you can't expect anything accurate from one image alone, but it seems to work the best when fed multiple images. In the end, in the example I tried, once I disregarded the outliers, it was remarkably close to the results of a DNA map as far as location and percentages.

After a week of probably having Covid I reached the point where i have no real sickness symptoms (didn't have much anyway, just stuffy, little achy a day or two, and headaches the last few days) but now I really can't taste anything unless its strong, which blows the most since tomorrow is a day of chowing down. If I got this damn cold two weeks earlier or two weeks later i would have had 2 more damn weeks of paid vacation.

Zinc deficiency can cause taste and smell to be diminished. You might want to supplement for a while. The older you are the greater the odds you're deficient.

1990-2020 - Open source software is the future. I don't like the corporate machine, so I will write code to be free as in beer. Itt is the true socialist/communist way. Nobody should be making money from ideas, it all needs to be free and open.
2020-today - Why should I develop OSS and not get paid for it? All these companies are stealing my hard work. I am giving away this code for anybody to use, and they are using it! I don't want a real job, I want to sit in my parents basement and get those big bucks and stock options while claim I have a moral high ground while fighting for the socialist/communist way.
If you don't like how open source software is used, stop writing it and demanding money for what is supposed to be "free" and "open".
Posted by: nohone at December 25, 2021 03:55 AM (HlOZV)
A lot of companies would be less terrible if everyone had to spend a day a month performing the shitty jobs at the very roots of the corporate tree.
I'll go it one step further -- every teenager / young person ought to spend a month collecting garbage, or cleaning public restrooms, or cutting grass in public spaces, or digging ditches, or washing dishes. There is dignity in work, even menial work. Dare I say it, there is egalitarianism in it.
Enough of the internships, compensated or not, into which you got because Daddy or Mommy. Find out what working class means, sophistos.

(Well, actually, he doesn't; he wishes I'd give him his breakfast. But let's be imaginative and picture him spreading benedictions everywhere.)
Miss Linda and I went to church last evening, had our usual Friday night pizza, and watched some YooToob vids about cats -- Siberians in particular, and Maine Coons too. I'm up to work out in a while -- I plan to drive to the riverfront when it gets light and trot along the bike path, just for a change. After I clean up, I need to wrap Miss Linda's gifts. I'm good at that -- but they are different shapes, and I don't have many boxes. Oh, well.
I may have to wait to open and smoke the pipe I bought myself until this evening. Again, oh, well. It's Christmas.

I know, right? Seems as if being Catholic means so much more to me as an adult as it did as a child/teen/young adult.
Could it be I (shudders) matured somewhat? I worked so hard to not do that.

Good for you. I didn't get anything like 10 hours, but I rarely do. A touch of heartburn, the first in a while, woke me at 1 am. I slid back to sleep after a little bicarb in water. This tells me I'm eating too much sugar again, or getting some corn syrup without knowing it, or both.

I tried not eating for 2-3 hours before bedtime, but still got the heartburn. Only cutting sugar almost completely out of my diet in Nov. '20, and absolutely avoiding anything with corn syrup, seemed to fix it. This was the first instance in many months. Graham crackers are apparently free of the syrup, and so is the Scots dark chocolate, but maybe I did too much of one of them yesterday. Or on top of 2 slices of supreme pizza.

God's greatest gift
The compassion of the Father is ever moving towards the world. He so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, and from the great sea of His love He is aways giving us all we can use. That is the measure of the gift of Christ we can use, all that we can hold, filling out hearts and being, occupying, blessing, comforting, ever opening new fields before the heart and mind that we may look up and come more into God. It is a wondrous grace. It is a mystery which we can understand only as we come into possession of the Spirit. That is why God says that "spiritual things are spiritually discerned." To know anything of the redemption of Christ we must enter into Him. If we would know about the measure of the gift, we must speak more of His Spirit's enlightenment in our hearts."
Dr. Henry Foster
Physician and Christian
He lived until the early 1900's and started a sanitarium in the Finger Lakes Region of NY for depressed and overworked ministers, missionaries and others.

Thanks, Salty. Merry Christmas to you. We had the service last night-lessons and carols. Jessie was able to play a little bit, which is a miracle-thanks be to God- and her son who is a piano tuner and a great pianist played the rest of the service. It was a great evening of praising God! We do have a service tomorrow. It will probably be back to the downloading of music on the computer by FenSpouse. Thanks for the prayers for Jessie, everyone.

There is a neat little utility, too, called youtube-dl.exe. Search for it and download it. You run it from a DOS command window, the "Run" command that brings up the black window, you remember that. Type "youtube-dl" followed by a space, then paste the URL of the video and press Enter. It downloads to that directory on your hard drive, or if you create a config text file, to the location you specify. This includes supposedly non-downloadable YooToobs, too.
I don't know if it works on Macs. But VLC has a version for Mac as well.

The Milgram Experiment - The Milgram experiment was a shock experiment by Stanley Milgram in the early 60's that tested people's willingness to shock others if instructed by an authority figure. Conclusion: 65% of the participants would kill someone if an authority figure told them to.
The Asch Experiment - The Asch experiments were a series of experiments by Solomon Asch in the 50's that tested the extent to which social pressure from a majority group could affect a person to conform. Conclusion: People were willing to ignore reality in order to conform to the group.

It's not really that so much as it is the airlines test their people for covid often and if they test positive they have to go home and stay there for 14 days or until they get two negative tests in a row. Right now that's what's causing all of these cancelled flights.

I finished watching the TV mini-series "Dr. Death" yesterday about Dr. Christopher Duntsch. That true story combined with what we have experienced last 2 years with the Plandemic, I will never trust the "healthcare" industry again.
Doctor played by Joshua Jackson. Also has Alec Baldwin and Christian Slayter as doctors trying desperately to work within the system to get him stopped, only to find the system completely broken. At the end, it states that as many as 440,000 deaths due to medical errors occur every year. During one episode they specifically blame the state of Texas for implementing Tort Reform for making it difficult to hold healthcare industry accountable.
As patients entering the operating room of Dr. Christopher Duntsch for routine spinal surgeries start leaving permanently maimed or end up dead, two fellow surgeons and a young Assistant District Attorney set out to stop him.

Saw that. My first thought was that this isn't a "right-wing slur", it's an anti-Biden slur. And if any journalists have read polls out there, a LOT more than just "right-wingers" are anti-Biden right now.
Not to mention, "Let's Go Brandon" is a creation of the media itself. They don't like it, they can blame themselves for its popularity.

Cases in my county have doubled in the past week. But local press is downplaying it. When Trump was in office they'd announce from the rooftops that according to the CDC we were in their highest risk category.
I think it's omicron, it's extremely transmittable, but low risk to most. People who get tested and have no symptoms, get inserted in the case count. I don't doubt for a second that pilots are contracting it. If they're then grounded, well I'm sure flying anywhere for the next month is gonna be a nightmare.

Yeah, the range they stated was pretty large. Stated 20,000 to as many as 440,000. Regardless of how many it is, the true story of Dr. Death was horrifying. Not just that this lunatic was allowed to continue butchering and killing people, but that the industry's love of money trumps the best interests of patients. As I said, combining that true story with what we have all witnessed throughout the Plandemic, I am never trusting anyone in the "healthcare" industry again. I'll have that luxury since I am alone and will never be married or have a family. So I just have to worry about me.

Posted by: grammie winger at December 25, 2021 09:02 AM
At this point it's an educated guess. If the R= value of Classic Covid was 1.4, and Delta was around 2.something, Omicron is somewhere in the range of 3 to 5, possibly higher.
R= reproduction. Subsequent infections from one case.
If cases skyrocket to levels never seen before, it's almost certainly Omicron. That's what I'm seeing in my county. Highest levels ever.
But very few deaths.

Understood. That still does not give me comfort if I ever had to put my life in the hands of the "healthcare" system. Prior to the Plandemic, I naively thought that doctors and nurses had the best interest of their patients as the top priority. And it may be that the majority do. But the facts show from the last 2 years of the Plandemic, that they are completely helpless to prevent administrators and politicians from taking over the process. Hospitals denying treatments and people having to go to court just to get something as simple as Ivermectin. Hospitals not having the correct treatment protocols for COVID, even 22 months later. Hospitals making money from the CARES Act. That's unforgivable. And downright horrifying.

Ah. So the parrot bites? So did the mynah but she was a fruit-eater and her beak was soft. Sis has a macaw. His beak is NOT soft. Buy Bandaids.

Reminds me of "Down and Out In London and Paris" when Eric Blair went to the French "hospital" for some reason. Almost everyone in there was just waiting to die and the "hospital" was there to make it happen. He left pretty quickly after surveying the scene.
More coffee.

Apparently there is an ad in UK comparing "COVID vaccines" to rechargable batteries. Boosters are the recharge. If this comparison is valid, that means boosters will never end.
"COVID vaccines lose power like batteries. Recharge your protection."

In other news, DD#2 tested positive for COVID. (She had a cold last week with loss of taste and smell being one of the symptoms.) So she can't gather with us. We'll get together New Year's, but missing her! (And being her personal grocery delivery app!)

I got a shirt from the Uranus Fudge Factory in Missouri. One review on the site had me laughing...

From the Futurama ep where Dr. Farnsworth invented the Smelloscope:
Farnsworth: "Here have a try! Point it anywhere and see how it smells!"
Fry: "Heh heh heh, why don't you smell Uranus???"
Farnsworth: "You idiot, we changed the name of that planet centuries ago."
Fry: "What's it called now?"
Farnsworth: "Urectum".

And to open source software developers, welcome to the wonderful world of socialism.
From the other side of the fence (I'm a commercial software developer), it scares the bejezus out of me when I look at how much open source code is getting included in the applications we present to the public. Had some vendor supplied code that broke because it was trying to pull some code modules in from the internet AT RUNTIME and our firewall blocked it.

With regard to Door Dash's policy of requiring all employees to do deliveries, I think that that is an excellent idea. Back in the early '80s, I worked for Mark William Company, which published the first C compiler for the IBM PC. Each of us, including developers, had to answers calls on the tech support line once a month. It was a pain in the tuchus, but it kept everyone in touch with the customers and their complaints. Some of the customers were simply too lazy to RTFM, but others pointed out bugs that needed fixing pronto. It's also good to put a face (or a voice) to the people for whom one is building the software.
As for Richard Stallman, the guy is a first-class nut ... but he gave the world GNU C, and that alone puts him head and shoulders above most of his detractors.
