Daily Tech News 1 December 2023

Top Story

The web browser that was banned from the Google Play store because it can browse the web is back up. (Ars Technica)

Google may be both evil and stupid, but apparently they still have limits.

Tech News

How come tech founders don't give a crap about sustainability. (Tech Crunch)

Because nobody does. It's almost entirely a grift. And if the secondary grift interferes with the primary grift, out it goes.
The weirdest bug I've seen yet. (Gusto)

Not me, but the person writing the blog.

Tracking down why the company's internal customer support application would crash Chrome... Sometimes.
ASRock has a new mini-ITX Ryzen server motherboard. (Serve the Home)

With four memory slots, dual 10Gb Ethernet ports, and remote management.

Awesome. Sounds perfect for my little NAS cases. How many SATA ports does it have?

Oh.

Zero.
Yes, Virginia, you can have too many cores. (Tom's Hardware)

Ampere's new Arm-based server CPUs have 192 cores. And you can put two of them on a motherboard.

Only problem is the Linux Arm kernel supports a maximum of 256 cores, so with two of these chips it just won't boot.

In fact, the smallest model of these chips has 136 cores, so any two-socket server will refuse to boot under Linux.

4 Pixy, this tech question came in at the bottom of yesterday's tech thread:

209 Daughter turns sixteen this Christmas season.

Finally going to buy her a phone. Retire the (no-cell-service) iPad she has been using, inherited, that is six years old. And replace the Mac laptop, also inherited, that is also about six years old and starting to act hinky.

What do I buy on a $3,000 budget Pixie? We use Total Wireless. Let me know, thanks.

(This is not a normal year - she made many sacrifices so that we could move both grandmas into our home, and has worked & saved money to buy herself a car next summer).

If she's not a computer person and just needs it for studying and web stuff, a MacBook Air is good. Small, light, good battery life, great screen.

Just don't buy the entry level model. Get at least 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, because it can't be upgraded. 24GB and 1TB would be better to make sure it lasts.

The MacBook Pro is more powerful but will quickly eat into your budget.

For the phone, the iPhone 13 and 14 aren't much cheaper than the 15 ($599 / $699 / $799) so whichever one she likes.

35 Good morning/evening Horde!

I can't stay long, I have to get to work (you're welcome Miklos).

To the first point in Tech news, I just sat through the most awful presentation a few days ago by Allianz's "Chief of IT Sustainability." He had nearly zero to say about IT sustainability, he claimed he was "An activist in a suit," and spent a half-hour haranguing (evidence-free, of course) about what Kevin Downy, Jr calls "Klymatte chain-je" and reasons legislation must be passed to force people to comply with the usual claptrap because clearly individuals cannot solve "Large problems" like this.

He went in just a few years from himself and one other to running a team of over 300 people in Allianz.

It might be worth looking at bearish options or shorting Allianz (I am NOT offering financial advice, just an opinion). Allianz looks about as serious as Disney at preserving shareholder value.

36 The IDF has announced the renewal of fighting in Gaza, after the Hamas terror organization violated the terms of the operational pause.

An IDF spokesperson said that IAF aircraft are attacking Hamas targets in Gaza. A diplomatic source said, "We are renewing the fighting with all our might. There are no negotiations for the release of hostages."

At the same time, the IDF's Home Front Command updated the guidelines for the Israeli public, and in most cities in central Israel, schools will be open only in locations where a protected space is accessible within the required amount of time.

Live updates:

Friday, 12:00p.m.: Sirens sound in Sa'ad and Kfar Aza, on the Gaza border
.
Friday, 11:34a.m.: Sirens sound in Kissufim, on the Gaza border.

Friday, 11:00a.m.: Sirens sound in Netiv Ha'asara and Yad Mordechai.

Friday, 10:11a.m.: Sirens sounded in Kfar Aza, the Nir Am firing range, Sderot, Ibim, and Nir Am.

Friday, 10:01a.m.: Sirens sound in Nirim, Sa'ad, Mefalsim, and the Nir Am firing range, near the Gaza border.

Friday, 9:59a.m.: Sirens sound in Kissufim, near the Gaza border.

How come tech founders don't give a crap about sustainability. (Tech Crunch)

Scouts some years back introduced a Sustainability merit badge as a "co-equal" badge paired with the Environmental Science merit badge. Both badges are on the list of merit badges required to earn Eagle Scout rank, but only one of them need be earned. That said, Environmental Science, which was in place first, has consistently kicked Sustainability's butt in its numbers earned each year.

I have heard it said the the Girl Scout program was big at emphasizing sustainability, and moe so than Scouts BSA. Sustaining their cookie sales, maybe, but not much else.

85 Amazon isn't alone in this problem. The mail man delivers mail for other people here several times each week, and if the mail is for house nearby, I then redeliver. But every now and again I get mail for people quite a ways away and I take it to the PO and show them. They look very concerned but nothing seems to change. Weird.

196 People in California who have been installing artificial turf will have to replace it with environmentally friendly artificial turf if a new ordinance passes. The old turf has been found to cause cancer in California so the new turf will be made of naturally sourced free range organic grass.

I agree with Blinken. Don't displace them just shoot them where they are

218 I wanted to take a look at that "Downloader" browser mentioned in the Arstechnica article, so brought up the Google Play store and started looking for "Downloader by AFTVnews". Nothing. Several search variants later, still nothing.

Then I used Chrome, and typed in the direct URL to the app linked from the Arstechnica article. There it told me that app was incompatible with my device (a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 running Android 13 is incompatible? Seriously?)

Starting to wonder if Google is still yanking this software author's chain...

221 You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to
be actually something which I think I would never
understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of
it!
