Daily Tech News 12 August 2023

Top Story

Sam Bankman-Fried, disgraced head of failed crypto Ponzi scheme FTX, has had his $250 million bail revoked and been sent to jail to await trial, under new charges of witness tampering. (CNBC)

Because he spoke to the press.

Bankman-Fried is a fool and a phony and I'm almost starting to believe he's innocent of the specific charges. Not that I would ever let him within a dozen firewalls of my digital funds.

Tech News

Google wants content scraping by AI tools to be considered fair use. (Tom's Hardware)

Of course they do.

But... Why shouldn't it be?

I can read whatever I like on the internet, and express my opinions here. Well, not if Prime Minister Albonazi manages to shove his godforsaken misinformation bill through Parliament but until then we have the tacit assumption of freedom of speech down here, even if it is not specifically protected under our constitution because nothing else is either.

And not that those specific protections are worth much in the US anymore.

Anyway.

Why shouldn't training AIs on public material be fair use under the First Amendment? How can we have free speech if we don't have free listening?
Disabling the Efficiency cores on Intel CPUs nets a 50% performance boost on new game Atlas Fallen. (WCCFTech)

Which is apparently not an unauthorised sequel to Shrugged.

I'm not sure who exactly screwed this up, but the article points the finger at the game developer and not Microsoft.
Use text-to-speech to instantly create your own podcast. (Hacker News)

No.
The You Can't Just Say That S25-0801 offers eight 2.5Gb ports and one 10Gb port, but the 10Gb port is SFP so it goes straight onto the trash pile. (Serve the Home)

Around $100. Shame about, uh, that.
The bottom of the switch has two mounting points. It also has a You Can't Just Say That product label. We will just quickly note that the "You Can't Just Say That" name was one of the most frequent points that commenters focused on in the YouTube video.
You don't say.

Probably because you can't.
Austria's telecommunications regulator has ruled that courts can order DNS blocks for various nefarious activities, but cannot require ISPs to block IP addresses. (TorrentFreak)

Which is a sport our own authorities in Australia are a little too keen on as well.

The problem in this case is that a single IP address can host, say, 96,530 individual websites.

In a new podcast interview, former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown said that then-Vice President Joe Biden got handsy with Gail Huff Brown when the newly-elected Republican was being sworn in, and he had to let Biden know to cut it out.

“Yeah, I told him I would kick the sh… uh… I told him to stop,” Brown said. “So, yes.”

A Canadian man is calling electric vehicles the "biggest scam of modern times" after his frustrating experience with an electric truck.

Dalbir Bala, who lives in the Winnipeg area, bought a Ford F-150 Lightning EV in January for $115,000 Canadian dollars (around $85,000 U.S. dollars), plus tax.

The actual thing they promised is not even close. Not even 50%. And once you buy it, you're stuck with it and you have to carry huge losses to get rid of that. And nobody is there to help you."

231 Dalbir Bala, who lives in the Winnipeg area, bought a Ford F-150 Lightning EV in January for $115,000 Canadian dollars (around $85,000 U.S. dollars), plus tax.

The actual thing they promised is not even close. Not even 50%. And once you buy it, you're stuck with it and you have to carry huge losses to get rid of that. And nobody is there to help you."

Some Sikhs are socialist idiots, too. Hell, the leader of the NDP, Canada's doctrinaire Socialist party, is a Sikh, Jagmeet Singh.

Speaking of, where are we on the "released photos" of Epstein? Last I checked, they looked fake. Has anyone said anything about them, officially? Whatever "officially" means?

233 "Sounds like a lot of operator error was involved"

Yeah, like buying the thing in the first place.

"It was in [the] shop for 6 months. I can’t take it to my lake cabin. I cannot take it for off-grid camping. I cannot take for even a road trip," Bala wrote. "I can only drive in city – biggest scam of modern times."

249 Anyone who takes the ev range as gospel is an idiot. it’s like if you buy a car that says it gets 30 Mpg you don’t expect it to really get 30 in real world driving. That 30 mpg or ev range is driving 60 mph on a flat road in 60 degree weather with no need for a/c or heat, all 4 tires perfectly inflated, etc And with nothing in the car and no passengers.

Real world driving is always 10-20% worse fuel economy than the stated number.

People getting their car news from CNNN.

I'm getting a little sick and tired of car guys on Yootoob. It's like nobody has anything to say about anything, but they keep saying it anyway.

Are the '24s coming out or not? Is it a major overhaul or isn't it? Did the company release anything, or are you just jacking off to your own voice?

I'm tired of it. Tired, I say.

No one has seen my neighbor for weeks. If I WAS going to try to hide a body, it would certainly be better than just leaving her in the fridge, or boiling in a pot of water on the stove.

261 Afternoon everyone. I'm not sure if anyone noticed this but last nights ONT was titled Schrodinger's ONT. I think the blog is experiencing something akin to that today. It is a new post, it Pixy's. But you can't determine which until you access the comments, and even then who knows.

....
Try to see my case request of Fresno Public Health et al,,,,, Fresno FOIA Filed # 23-537 . I sent all the records to FOX, CBS, NBC, CNN, and affiliates as well as FedEx to every major and local Media outlets. Hand delivered to several months ago........... so when a ? Person confirmed it was a "Clandestine" Bio-HAZ Lab, R&D on a New possible virus, illnesses and Pathogens to create a new USA scare. Plan was to release into the Local Aquifer, Wells, Canals, Farms, and Airborne so the GOV. agencies did NOT want any of this out.

Thing is, a gas-powered vehicle that does not live up to mileage claims may disappoint you, but you won't be stranded. Even if you do run out of gas on I90 between Butte and Bozeman, you can call for someone to bring a 5-gallon can of go juice to get you going again. If your electric dies out there, it's flatbed time. And $$$
