Daily Tech News 13 April 2023

Top Story

Nvidia's RTX 4070 is here and it's not terrible. (Tom's Hardware)

It's as fast as the previous generation's RTX 3080 while being $100 cheaper and using 40% less power, or to put it another way, 20% more expensive and 30% faster than the RTX 3070.

It has 12GB of VRAM as standard which is enough in most cases, but I wouldn't buy an 8GB card for a system I wanted to use for gaming. (A cheap 8GB card for light gaming is a different matter.)

It's a regular two-slot card rather than the monstrous three-slot models that Nvidia and its partners have been shipping lately, and though Nvidia recommends a 650W power supply and it includes a 300W-rated 12-pin power connector, it should run in pretty much any system built in recent memory.

Paired with a Ryzen 7900 (65W based power, around 90W peak) it should provide a almost reasonably priced and very capable system for serious work and what was high end gaming just a few months ago while running happily on a 450W power supply.

Tech News

Something that isn't reasonably priced is Intel's new Xeon W-2400 CPUs. The 24 core model - which is the cheapest one in the range that has a chance of being faster than a Ryzen 7950X - costs nearly three times as much as a 7950X; four times as much as a 7900.

Scratch that idea.
The EU says Broadcom's proposed acquisition of VMWare could restrict competition... In the Fiber Channel HBA market. (Reuters)

Dire news for both the people still using Fiber Channel.
The liquidators sent in to salvage what remained of FTX have apparently actually been doing their jobs. (Reuters)

So far they've recovered $7.3 billion of about $10 billion that disappeared, which rather justifies the no doubt hefty fees they are receiving.
The ACCC (Australia's equivalent to the FTC, more or less) wants new powers to crack down on online businesses. (The Guardian)

Get fu-

That deliberately make it hard to cancel subscriptions.

Understandable. Have a nice day.
NPR has become the first "major" "news" organisation to leave Twitter, flouncing off the platform after being accurately labelled as state-affiliated media. (The Verge)

17 Good for Australia for cracking down on subscription traps. This practice stinks to high heaven and before I sign up for new services, the first thing I check is how you can cancel it and if it doesn't pass muster I don't sign up. One of the better subscription traps is you can't cancel unless you go to a specific page which is nearly impossible to find because it's not listed in the companies website.

19 On another note, I've read the Wapo (I know, I know) article about the so-called leaker we'll call 'OG'. Something to me seems awfully suspicious about the entire article.. call me cynical but WaPa and unnamed sources equals I'm not trusting any article no matter how "factual" it may seem.

I'm not saying its BS but I'm not believing the story until other unrelated sources can confirm it.

Festival stuff has begun here too. French Quarter Fest (another example of how the city "leadership" thinks of my old neighborhood as merely a theme park and cash cow), Jazz Fest (dear God, why would people pay high fees to go out and sweat in the rain, when they can listen to the same music on CD or radio?), and no doubt they'll think of something else to disrupt traffic.

Jazz Fest started up when I was in high school, and in fact it was held the first two years only 3 blocks from my house. I never heard about it until it became A Big Thing a few years later.

Good morning, Sir.

The leaker is known. Works in the US, and leaked to his gaming buddies. So probably not a boomer.

Well I knew it was coming LOL. The DOD sent out an Email yesterday warning us about handling classified information because of that leak. I can't wait to see the winner who did it and how the fuck he got a security clearance? Sigh

I'll see that email when I get the 5 sided nut house in Arlington later today. I'm not sure the clearance process is all that tight anymore.

109 Politics is not supposed to be civil. It's war by other means. The motivation to give and take and not be heinously offensive is not to be "nice", but because The Other Side, whether they know it or not, always has the option to say "you know what, get bent" and do what they want by force.

"She argued that (the city of) Franklin should not celebrate the gay community, claiming that God “hates” sodomy, homosexuality, sexual immorality and pride.

“Like, one of the most things he hates is pride,” she insisted as she cited Bible verses."

I hear ya but I've re-read the Wapo (I know, I know) article about the so-called leaker a few times and something to me seems awfully suspicious about the entire thing.. call me cynical but WaPa and unnamed sources equals I'm not trusting any article no matter how "factual" it may seem.

I'm not saying its BS but I'm not believing the story until other unrelated sources can confirm it. Inside job on purpose? I dunno but I put nothing past our betters any longer...

151 That FTX article seems to indicate included in what was, quote, recovered was simply the increase in Bitcoin valuation since uncovering the fraud and indictment of SBF. No doubt the recovery team gives themselves that win by arguing that too would have been pissed away like the rest but for their arrival, but that's not really "recovered." Like most BKs, a very small fraction of what is lost is ever actually seen again on the books.

Eric Stewart, who had six of his studies retracted, has been absent from the college since mid-March after a new investigation over his work renewed scrutiny over claims that he fabricated data by altering sample sizes to make the results appear more racist,

Remember when we used to have 100% real racism vs. the fake racism of today. Next they will be selling us margarine vs butter.
