Daily Tech News 13 October 2024

Top Story

After being sued by hosting company WP Engine for libel and extortion, it would appear that Automattic, the commercial arm of WordPress, has chosen to respond with outright theft. (MSN)

One thing Automattic accused WP Engine of was not contributing back to the project. WP Engine developed and maintained the WordPress plugin ACF - Advanced Custom Fields, which has two million users.

So Automattic stole it. (Twitter)

They took the project, changed the name, and assigned themselves ownership, dragging all two million users along with it.

They said they were forced to do that because WP Engine could not properly manage and maintain the project. WP Engine could not manage and maintain the project because Automattic blocked them.

WP Engine's lawyers who were already looking at replacing their Porsches with Ferraris are now thinking maybe a Bugatti Chiron would be nice.

California has rejected SpaceX's application to launch additional missions from the state, with some officials opening themselves up to a massive First Amendment lawsuit. (LA Times / MSN)

Oops.

Well, more business for Florida I guess.
Boeing will lay off 10% of its employees, about 17,000 people. (MSN)

This comes as no surprise to anyone, but is unlikely to affect the people who should be affected.
Instagram and Threads moderation is out of control. (The Verge)

Did your post get deleted? Too bad, so sad.
Moderation is a perennial problem on social media, but based on social media posts and The Verge staff's own experiences, Meta is currently banning and restricting users on a hair trigger. One of my colleagues was locked out of her account briefly this week after joking that she "wanted to die" because of a heatwave.

Others, like Jorge Caballero, say the automated system has added fact checks with mistakes to material it detects as political, as well as throttling posts with factual information for events like hurricanes. Some have dubbed their situation "crackergate," as recent posts mentioning saltines or the words "cracker jacks" have been instantly removed.
Simple solution: Don't use Instagram or Threads. Twitter doesn't do this.
The Verge is having yet another normal day. (The Verge)

Geeze, lady. Take a couple of valium. Or down a fifth of bourbon. Not both, but one or the other.
The San Francisco Chronicle has put in place an AI resource nobody asked for to answer questions nobody is asking about the political candidate nobody voted for. (San Francisco Chronicle) (archive site)

It's unintentional self-parody all the way down.
Do you need 384 cores and 3TB of RAM in a single 1U server? ASRock has a motherboard for you. (Serve the Home)

No price attached but these are generally cheaper than you would think - much cheaper than the CPUs that plug into them.
We keep pushing products that nobody wants, and for some reason people aren't buying them. (The Register)

It's a meh year for desktop PCs, and a lousy year for Windows. There are a couple of bright spots in the laptop market, with AMD's Ryzen 370 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series, but not enough to lift PC sales out of the doldrums.

Except for limited edition Hyte PC cases, which are reportedly doing gangbusters.

15 Wp engine is a horrible hosting company. When I signed in with them (years ago), they knew my traffic and resource needs, yet never once was my hosting bill “only” what they quoted. It went up every single month.

My new host spent a week cleaning up the back end crap wp engine had installed on my website.

Wordpress is probably in the wrong here, but I have little sympathy for wp engine..

I'm up, having coffee, have to feed the beasts momentarily. What more d'you want.

Actually, I could want some cooler weather . . . and strange to relate, I have some. It's 69 F. right now, when usually at this hour and time of year it's more like 75-77. Humidity is fairly high, but the temp is down. My workout at the track this morning should go well.

Still got to hit Walmart for a few things later. Grrrr.

32 best part of the SFChron article:

"Why don't we have a similar tool for Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president? The answer isn't political. It's because we've been covering Harris since her career began in the Bay Area and have an archive of vetted articles to draw from. Our newsroom can't offer the same level of expertise when it comes to the former president."

33 I'm trying a new coffee: Aldi's Midnight blend, a dark roast. $5 for 12 oz, whereas Cafe Bustelo, which they also carry, is the same price for 10 oz. Pretty good stuff with a little sweetener and milk.

No breakfast yet -- well, maybe I can have a little juice -- before I go to work out as it gets light. That's the hardest part of driving to the track; I tend to wake up early, and yet can't go before it's at least dawn.

Miss Linda likes that most of the decorations involve animals, specifically black cats. She puts a few black cat- with-pumpkin decorations on my windows and front door every Oct. Maybe when I have my house I'll put a couple Halloween-themed items out during that month. Maybe.

As for me, I gave in and bought a pop-up Halloween card with a haunted house and a long-haired black kitten in a cliche witch hat. It's on my bookcase as I speak; no reason to bring it to work.

We always knew they were pro actors. The problem was that the tone came off as a subtle parody. "I eat carburetors for breakfast"? Most of their intended voters -- and the writers, and probably the actors -- wouldn't know a carburetor if it sat in their laps. The term just *sounded* (what they think of as) manly.

By 1994, as far as I can tell, all passenger cars sold in the United States had some form of electronic fuel injection. Most trucks, too, but there was one exception: the Isuzu Pickup.

60 A really good PSA for them to study would have been the one where a schoolteacher (it's implied) is taking to his daughter as they prepare dinner about how she should tell an adult if she notices something wrong at school. "Dad, no kid is gonna tell an adult about that kind of thing." "I get it. But if we don't know, we can't help. . . . That's what being a friend is all about." It's all low-key; the reason for the conversation (apparently a kid at her school went ballistic and did something illegal, we don't know what) is clear without hitting us over the head, etc. It seems like we are eavesdropping on a real conversation between father and daughter.

99 When a weather station temperature gauge’s white paint or white plastic ages and darkens, this allows more solar radiation to be absorbed by the gauge than when the gauge is bright white and new. Within a span of just 2 to 5 years, a gauge has been observed to record maximum temperatures 0.46°C to 0.49°C warmer than in gauges that have not undergone an aging process.

About half the change that has supposedly happened since 1900.

157 Gray wolf update:

Colorado Parks & Wildlife have concluded their nearly three week long capture operation for the wolf pup who was born in the wild and had not been collared and tracked. The pup had been seen on trail camera images and staff have been in the field for 19 days attempting (unsuccessfully to locate the wolf. The reason cited for stopping the search?

"With temperatures slowly declining, CPW has decided to conclude the capture portion of this operation for the safety of the wolf pup."

So Lone Wolf #1 is free to roam, and will be safer on his own in the mountains in winter, separated from the pack, without a telemetry collar, foraging for squirrels and rabbits? I guess if he gets hungry enough he could move up to household pets, chickens, lambs or toddlers. No concern for their safety apparently.

Nice, CPW. You had one job to do.

Their politics is their religion. This is why I call them Yard Sign Calvinists, because they are justified by their opinions alone. When bad things happen to political opponents, that is the wrath of God proving them right.

It's really funny how deep into this they are. They mock the 'sky god' (and blaspheme the Eucharist), but man are they quick on the trigger to attribute hurricanes, tornados, cancer, etc. to peoples' sins.

Hillary gave the game away with the 'deplorables' tag. They see much of humanity is made simply to be damned. No point in trying to convert them, they were judged before time began.

Carburetors are engine parts that mechanics talk about in old TV shows, so that's why it was included. Tinkerbelle sitting on a grill is presumably what men do when chilling out, much as one might lean on a counter in the kitchen.

I liked the guy who braids the #$%! out of his daughter's hair because that's supposed to be a manly way to talk about feminine stuff. I have three daughters. I left the braiding to their mother and or the oldest sister. None of the men I know who had daughters did hair braiding 'cause they were guys with short hair and didn't bother to learn the craft.

The sexes are supposed to be complimentary. There are things men are good at and things that women are good at. Since I didn't have enough hair to comb for 21 years, I did not do much hair care for the girls, and this was widely understood as reasonable.

My wife in turn deferred to me in yard work and home repair. Affluent liberals outsource that sort of thing, so the men are pushed into the female sphere lest they not "do their share." They then try to valorize themselves for braiding hair because they can't pull-start anything and have no idea how the oil gets into the thing.

Seems like the lawsuit is over the issue that the law says the voter rolls can be changed 90 days prior to the election. If they were serious about voting integrity, they'd just demand voter ID and in person balloting. There's always exceptions but there's no need to have unrestricted mail in balloting.

251 "Why are we funding NASA..."

To keep all the useless technocrats away from the Real Space program.

You cannot believe how absolutely useless NASA has become since they started outsourcing all the hard stuff to SpaceX.

252 I imagine the space shuttle was first conceived as a complement to another vehicle that would take someone from earth orbit to the moon. That was in 1972, and the program from from beginning to end without that other vehicle appearing.

254 The Facebook thing is hilarious to me. My mother's Facebook account was hacked, and I went to truly crazy lengths to get it back but there's nothing you can do. There is no one you can talk to. After a few months of deactivation, it was reactivated and was selling Taylor Swift tickets. It took weeks for it to stop.

For any morons out there dealing with this, I read that if you get a Meta Quest headset and call up their support saying you can't connect your Facebook profile, they'll actually help you.

I mean, i do get that there's literally billions of Facebook users, but the fact that they allow shit like this to go on is sickening. I have Facebook because I use messenger once in a blue moon but that's it.
