Daily Tech News 6 April 2023

Top Story

AMD's 7800X3D is here and it's the fastest gaming CPU around. (AnandTech)

Faster - and this is a little awkward, to be honest - than AMD's more expensive 7900X3D and 7950X3D.

Though to be clear, that's just for games. If you run 3D rendering or video processing or run parallel compiles on large software projects the higher-end CPUs will win, but for games the 7800X3D is the bees knees.

And while it outruns Intel's 13900K, it uses less power than the 13600K, two notches down the product stack, to do so.

I'm still inclined towards the 7900 (non-X) which is the most efficient of the high-end CPUs available, but the 7800X3D is also tempting.

No scores on CPUBenchmark.net as yet, but it's probably very close to the 7700X.

Tech News

Bob Lee, creator of Cash App, former CTO of payment platform Square, and SpaceX investor (among other minor startups), was stabbed to death in a fancy neighbourhood in Nancy Pelosi's district of San Francisco. (Tech Crunch)

Following the news, there was an outpouring of grief in the tech community, but they don't seem to have quite figured out that they are the ones destroying the city.
Western Digital got hacked. (Bleeping Computer)

The company's cloud-based services are offline, but the 32 aging 3TB drives I have in my second-hand Synology boxes keep chugging away. Well, mostly. I've had to replace a few.
If you have a Nexx internet-enabled garage door opener, well, first, why, and second, unplug that thing now. (Ars Technica)

Yes, ibuprofen provides good relief. So far, I've had no GI issues, but long-term regular use... isn't a good idea...

That's why I'm actually considering weeed. If not pain relief-- a distraction?-- or something. Just want to reduce my IB use.

37 Well, Amazon continues to confuse. Yesterday morning I cancelled the sound bar I had bought because delivery was promised last Saturday and other then some "package is waiting to be delivered" verbiage, nothing.

So they sent me an update onTuesday morning if the package didn't arrive Tuesday to cancel and they would refund the money, which they never charged because the system, I guess, never told them it shipped.

So I cancelled yesterday about 4 AM.

11 AM yesterday, the doorbell rings, I get to the door in time to see a UPS driver, driving away. And the sound bar sitting on my porch.

I was gonna suggest he look up the legality of something called 'Delta 8' in his state. It's basically CBD oil which has been chemically modified to have 8 carbon atoms instead of the 9 in pot - or something like that. Effect is similar to pot, only milder, with no paranoia. Not sure how it would effect RA. Legal in most states. So far. Usual Disclaimer: Do not drive or operate heavy machinery. Available in gummies (start with half) or vape cartridges. Pretty sure anyone using it would fail a drug test, though. If there's a 'Vape Store' nearby they almost certainly have it.

Just checked: 'No. Delta 8 THC is illegal in Idaho, for now.'

Once upon a time Verizon was supposed to ship me a phone and somehow everything went wrong and I landed in a state where they asserted I had a phone but I didn't. When I called customer service the basic response I got was "computer says no." After multiple runs at Verizon's customer service, I just gave up and bought a used phone.

In your case, I suggest you go to Seattle and camp out in front of the Amazon headquarters. Be sure to put a donations bucket outside your tent as I think that's the only way you're going to get your refund.

The thing about Delta 8 is any amateur chemist can create it from CBD oil which is pretty much universally available. Without danger of blowing ones home to smithereens. There are probably recipes and/or YouTube videos all over the net.

I just took a look at my Amazon account and under the "Your Orders" is buried a customer service section.

73 Pixy, in case you hadn't seen it, I saw an article saying that Amazon's "internet service" (their words) covered 90% of America. It was click bait, of course, but I was wondering what they were talking about.

It's the permissions you give Amazon to share your devices and internet service with your neighbors so that, if I understand correctly, the chance of devices not reporting to Amazon 24/7 are greatly reduced. It showed a map, too. It was uniquely disturbing.

I checked the tracking number on UPS and it shows that it was (and it was) delivered yesterday and 12:20 at the front door.

It's the permissions you give Amazon to share your devices and internet service with your neighbors so that, if I understand correctly, the chance of devices not reporting to Amazon 24/7 are greatly reduced. It showed a map, too. It was uniquely disturbing.

Oh, that thing. I'm surprised it hasn't been sued out of existence.

94 A few years ago, I'd ordered some miscellaneous parts for the old Ferd truck...

They were delivered, but I didn't know it. Must've been raining when the box arrived, so carrier put it at the side door, where it would stay dry.

Meanwhile, I waited and waited, never checking the (rarely used) side door area. Packages usually got left inside the front screen door or simply left out in the rain next to it.

Finally, I emailed the vendor that pkg never arrived. No problem, they would ship a duplicate of that order...

Couple days later I was cleaning up at the side porch and TA-DA! Found the original boxed order. Called the vendor. Oh, they were about to send replacement and "thank you SO MUCH for telling us" and emailed a coupon for $20 off next order.

Honesty pays. Sometimes. But a clear conscience is priceless.

San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle belong in dystopian novels and not reality. I find it remarkable that our culture has unraveled so profoundly in the last 20 to 25 years. I had a long love affair with Seattle and I never felt afraid wherever I went. The last couple years there I was armed no matter where I went and the last time it was there, a year ago it had devolved even further. I had planned to spend the day exploring my old haunts. All I did was do a cursory drive through and then got the hell out of there. Living in Las Cruces may lack some of the nice cities of the larger urban areas, but what it lacks it makes up for with neighbors and fellow citizens that still look you in the eye and smile at you. I have gone from entertaining trips to large cities for some big city fun to I have absolutely no interest in going there ever again. We have lost much.

151 Yonder Horde.

Chicago related content:

NASCAR has a "street race" scheduled to run in downtown Chicago on July 1-2. There was some sort of agreement between Groot and NASCAR about payoffs (who gets what percentage of the ticket sales, vending, etc.) and it was suggested the city would benefit. In the NASCAR community the race was seen, by some, as a racially motivated stunt to "urbanize" the sport. Some of the residents in Chicago lamented the noise, thus for the first time, stock cars will race with mufflers.

With the election of Brandon Johnson as mayor some in this community believe the race, which was contracted to run 2023 - 2025 IIRC will basically be a "one and done."

Questions about safety have surfaced, been shouted down, resurfaced and finally given a "well, what did NASCAR expect?" treatment.

I'm a fan of the sport but not the governing/sanctioning body which is every bit as corrupt as FedGov. It's going to be interesting to see who (NASCAR or Chicago) fucks the other over hardest.

The movie 'Arthur' deals with 'equity'. Arthur is using a telescope to spy on the sexual antics of a neighbor, who knows he's being spied upon. While Arthur's girlfriend closes the drapes. The neighbor has his own telescope.

Funniest and most memorable line to me in the movie is as the exasperated neighbor sees the drapes close as he watches, "It's an inequity-ish situation.'

My one and only visit to SF was in September of 1974. I was a post-doc in Cambridge, MA at the time so with my Scottish lab partner and a new Mustang II we took a month off and toured.
We came into California over the mountains from Nevada singing THAT song. I was enthralled by the city and until the 2000s I told everyone that it was the most beautiful city in the world. We drove up one of the hills and stopped for a beer in an Italian bar with a bunch of old men. When they discovered we were 'foreigners' from Boston, plus I was a real Italian from Rome we got treated very well. The scenery was stupendous. Geographically it is an unimaginably beautiful place. I cannot visualize it with homeless encampments and shit on the pavements. My heart bleeds.

The US has become an illegitimate, undependable basket case, "led" by a vicious, preening, mental defective and an unserious, incapable junta, France and the rest of the world are sooner than later going to abandon the US for just mere survival.

They'll still do the grip and grins with our leaders and gladly take the US taxpayers money, but make no mistake, the US and it's citizenry are in for a very hard reality.

Bringing this ^ from the ONT on Bolton and Mittens' condemning the ridiculous charges from Bragg. Quick acquittal? In a sane location with sane people, absolutely yes. But the show trial will not be held in a sane location with sane people. There won't be a quick acquittal, or probably any acquittal at all.

TV ratings are down for every race broadcast thus far. FOX, which has the first half of the season IIRC has had some of the worst productions I've ever seen. Commercials account for nearly 1/3 of the broadcast. And they're the same 4-6 every fucking time. The cameras seem to dwell on anything but racing. And, it's been noted quite a bit, FOX camera operators seem to have a thing for kids.

There should be several 130 MPH runs. So at 2.2 miles maybe 90 second laps.

If it's being returned there is no way you should drop it off anwhere if it was accidentally delivered.

If they want it back they can come pick it up. It's different if its a neighbor nextdoor that you can walk over or whatever, but if they want it, they can send UPS out for it.

Not directly. It has also been suggested the kids demonstrate a "family friendly" atmosphere. The shots are typically innocuous but some people jump right to the p3do thing because kids.

They also show hot chicks in the stands and spectators doing typically stupid shit.

208 Re: companies not knowing when, or if, they've shipped goods to you.

I think a lot of this comes down to the local delivery companies. Dispatchers seem to do a haphazard job of informing anyone of pending deliveries, or received goods, and so on.

We were supposed to get a shipment of 150 PCs on the 11th of a month. I had everyone schedule their work around that so they could assist (which they were happy to do).

Shipment showed up on the 10th. No warning, no call, nothing except the security guard saying "There's a truck out here with a bunch of palettes."

Needless to say, it was just me unloading all that stuff.

210 So here’s the chess move a non-self-obsessed Alpha with an addiction to chaos and maxinimu escalation tendencies does to defeat the left: discontinue his campaign and endorse Desantis.

But he won’t. And he will get the nomination. And he will Lose the general. It’s amazes me—they are “stuck with Biden,” and the only way this corrosive demagogue can win is to run against the guy who has cost us three election cycles now.

And yet, the calculus will never exceed devotion to Trump—so the court will be packed by someone other than a Republican. DC will be a state, 102 senators , electoral college obliterated and so on—and all because the base must have the Hair of the Dog Uber alles.

Trump wasn’t elected because the nation was smitten with trump. He got elected because Hillary voters fell alseep thinking it was in the bag. He built no good will with his behavior, and has lost everyone but the core base.

He cannot win. And the minutes he loses the general will be the moment that all legal troubles suddenly resolve.
