Daily Tech News 7 September 2025
Top Story
- Google is facing a $425 million fine, not from Europe for once but from a federal court in California, for continuing to track millions of people for years after they had turned off the tracking feature. (AP News)
Okay, yeah.
Nail their hides to the wall on this one.
Tech News
- Business Insider retracted forty articles because they were obvious low-grade AI slop. (MSN)
The freelancer violated the first rule of journalism: Don't be obvious.
- The oldest database transaction in the world is a cuneiform tablet recording the sale of malt and barley groats from around 3100 BC. (Avi.im)
Meanwhile MySQL cannot even record a date that old.
- Benchmarking Seagate's new 30TB HAMR hard drive. (Tom's Hardware)
Spoiler: It's slow even for a hard drive.
- Everything old is new again: Memory expansion cards for PCs are back. (Gigabyte)
This particular model from Gigabyte lets you add up to 512GB of DDR5 registered memory to a suitable CXL-supporting Threadripper motherboard like the TRX50 AI TOP which already supports 2TB of RAM.
So not immediately useful for most people.
- Is the Lenovo Idea Tab any good? (Notebook Check)
If you're looking for a budget tablet, rather than a high-end workhorse, then the answer may well be yes. It's a basic 11" model with a sharp 2560x1600 screen. The A76 CPU cores are far from the latest but twice as fast as older models that just had something like the A53.
It all depends on what price Lenovo is offering right now - Lenovo runs sales every day of the year and just cycles products around. Right now in Australia the 4GB/128GB version of this tablet is available for $249 including tax and delivery - around US$150 - making it a very affordable option to keep a second screen handy.
Cheaper in fact than the less capable Lenovo Tab One with half the resolution.
Thinking of picking one up because my current large tablet - also a Lenovo - is one of those older models with just an A53 CPU and a 1920x1200 screen.

8GB is a good idea if you're expecting to use it regularly. I went for the 4GB model because I already have a small (8") tablet for anything demanding - and also because only the 4GB model is currently discounted here in Australia.
4GB will probably work fine but you'll find tabs needing to reload themselves, things like that.

So I took the plunge and picked up a Sony a6400 and a few prime lenses and a telephoto. Yeah, they are a thing. The camera body is about the size of a post card in area and the lenses are about 2.50" dia x 3.00" len and weigh nothing.
The primes are a Samyang 12mm f2.0 ($250), Viltrox 23mm f1.4 ($210), and a Sigma 53mm f1.4 ($460). They are ridiculously excellent; my comparison here is my Canon L glass which are world class. Multiply the focal length by 1.5 to get what these are in full frame terms.
Using my examples these become 18mm, 35mm, 85mm. I use a 2x multiplier between lenses, anything less tends to be a bit granular though I will eventually pick up a 33mm (50mm) at some point.
Summary: If you want a compact camera kit these Sony boxes and E-mount lenses have hit prime time. The support for Nikon and Canon decidedly less robust.

What some perhaps didn’t know was that on the Missouri, everyone not in the audience or participating was ready to go right back to war. All the guns were manned and everything was set to go right back into action had the Japanese instead did some funny business aboard ship.
I learned that touring the Big Mo. There’s something about standing at the spot where the surrender took place, and looking ahead to the Arizona Memorial…

I'm awake (for certain values of "awake"), having some coffee, and about to feed the furry thuglets. Both slept on the bed with me at least part of the night; when I awoke about 2:30, they were sprawled near me.
Wild dreams last night, including one about trying to drive in the dark the wrong way up a wide street divided by an open drainage canal, and another about nurses in a hospital or clinic asking continually if they could test me for things I'd never heard of. One woman, who was more of a pharma company rep than a nurse, was willing to pay me $500 to take a vaccine. I refused, saying, "If they are willing to shell out that much, how much are they making on the deal???"

I'm considering converting my older (2020) PC laptop to Linux. Maybe leave Windows in a partition of its own, and install Linux in the other. I know I need to download the "distro" of Linux to a flash drive. How long does the entire process take? And does the installation process give you the option to install Linux in its own partition?
For that matter, how much disk space does Linux need?

I know Trump is threatening to send troops to Chicago and Portland, but he shouldn’t.
Instead, he should send them to Democrat cities in red states, with the support of GOP governors.
Draw a contrast. Show what can be done, and let Democrats suffer their consequences.
@bonchieredstate
If you send them to Chicago, it’ll just be a legal battle with months of stalling from judges.
If you send them to NOLA, the governor won’t sue, and you can make the point without inhibition.

A few observations on anti-Israel ferment in the West: ...
4. Anti-Israel activities absolutely reflect an erosion of Western values. A small democracy is waging a just defensive war against a literal terror army with eliminationist aims, and it is the democracy that is reviled among Western youth and "liberal" elites. Indeed, of all the "causes" on earth, this is the one that has coalesced into a transnational mass movement, replete with its own religious like doctrine, iconography, and catechisms. All of this is less a reflection of Israel's behavior than a mirror evidencing a very deep societal malaise, indeed, a kind of self-hatred. This explains how not 25 years after 9/11, an Israel hating socialist would be the leading mayoral candidate in a metropolis that is the global center of capitalism and the jewel of the crown of the Jewish diaspora.

Taught the kid a lesson.... only fight over what is really important. "Putting some bitch in her place" over a trinket that's now poisoned with a shitty association is not important.
Getting into a scuffle would not have gotten them anything. Instead the entire human species got to see that they're normal and she's a cow, and they got loaded up with swag from both teams. Popping some bitch in the teeth would have gotten them zero swag, and probably a night in the hoosegow for him.

Attention! Just want to remind everyone (not that anyone here needs reminding) that while tolerance is a lovely Christian virtue, suicide is not. There's a huge difference between extending grace to others and actively inviting abuse.

A lot of Californians seem to be leaving for not only Texas, but Tennessee.
I’d go the TN route, especially if you’re not found of the heat in Tejas.
East Tennessee near the mountains has pretty decent weather, rarely hurricanes reach that far inland, occasional tornadoes but those are as rare as earthquakes. And snow in the winter is a good possibility.
But its lbeauty can make up for any drawbacks.

It was always a free-for-all. It's just that there wasn't a camera detailing every moment. The woman made an absolute fool of herself. Got all jacked up over a baseball and made a huge scene. Not a lick of self control.

If I answered you last time, my answer was, and remains: Linux Mint. The project is headed by Clement "Clem" Lefebvre, who has remained focused on stability and new features that make sense. There's been a very careful avoidance of nonsense both in the software, and in the guidance of the project.
Linux Mint 22.2 ("Zara") just came out. It's a long term support version.
Features Page:
https://tinyurl.com/4n47hvd3
See the end about the LTS (Long Term Support). It will give you a good feel for how this group does things.
Myself, I've been using Linux Mint for years in Virtualbox for all of my web browsing (Firefox) and email (Thunderbird) and it's been very solid. I have several other machines running Linux Mint as the native OS for various tasks. (I always go for the Cinnamon desktop and turn effects 'off'.)
Just asked one of the two family members I converted their 'daily driver' (at home) machine solely to Linux Mint about how they feel about it versus Windows:
- Linux Mint is way faster to boot and to update.
- Linux Mint doesn't get in my way (Stop 'helping' me Microsoft!)

For that matter, how much disk space does Linux need?"
1. Disk space: I recommend 30 Gb for the operating system (the / partition). Whatever you need for all your files in a separate partition mounted at /home. The 30 Gb gives you enough head room to keep two or three versions of the kernel installed (so you have a fallback if a new kernel install does something really unexpected, which is extremely rare.)
2. Separate Partitions: Yes, Linux installs in its own partition(s).
I strongly encourage / and /home be kept as separate partitions.
3. Time: More required if you're doing dual boot as there's several things you want/need to do to.
Here, watch this, I bookmarked this and kept it for people asking about how to set up a dual boot machine. This guy is thorough:

I'm not convinced NYC "voters" are making the choice here. Given how corrupt NYC elections are I assume if the Democrats want the Muslim commie to be mayor, he'll be mayor. If they don't, he will not prevail.
The hype seems.... manufactured. Other than AOC who's retarded, are there any politicos from NYC behind this guy? Or politicos from NY? I know a few from other states have endorsed, but they're retarded too.

Who do you think is pushing it in NYC? Mandami is getting a lot of national support for his run.
Whatever the hard left wants to call themselves these days their ultimate goal is communism. Mandami isn't the first to push for government run grocery stores in the US. And you don't have to look beyond Karen Bass in LA or Brandon Johnson in Chicago. Hell, Bass was an open supporter of Castro in Cuba and was an evangelist for communism in the US.
The Democrat Party is being taken over by communists. The old Democrat Party of people like JFK is long gone.

Unfortunately, Adams and Cuomo are the only ones who might be able to beat Madmani and they’ll split each other’s vote to give him the win with around 35% or something.

Further to time required: Most of it will be reading/watching that video, and doing the prepatory and planning. The downloads and flashing of the stick should be easily done in 10 minutes if you have a fast connection.
The prep work on windows, I'd devote 30 minutes to it. Take your time, don't miss anything.
The installation itself of Linux Mint? About 30 minutes, maybe less.
Oh, there is one thing that will take significant time and you absolutely should do it the night before you decide to actually do the upgrade:
Back up your existing windows drive (all of it) to an external hard drive. You're looking for something that can image the entire drive, and restore it exactly as it was. Ensure you turn on the "Compare the backup to the original" option. It takes longer. You absolutely want to do this!
"He who laughs last usually had a backup."
"Better to have and not need, than need and not have."
My advice on this is to take your time, plan well, cover your backside with a backup, and then patiently and carefully follow the steps as shown in that video I linked in the previous comment (1 of 2).

Those are two very different questions.
Red Hat Enterprise, Debian and Ubuntu LTS are rock solid for enterprise and server environment, but for different reasons:
Red Hat has best support, Debian is most stable with longer release cycles, Ubuntu has much wider hardware support so works great for developers and mixed use.
For useability, get a Mac.

Colorado Parks & Wildlife personnel shot a wolf following a series of brutal livestock attacks from mid-July through mid-August. One attack left three sheep dead, suggesting the wolf was not killing merely for food. CPW was unable to locate the elusive wolf or its body after shooting it, so it has not been confirmed dead.
This particular wolf was born in the wild to the infamous Copper Creek gang but had never been fitted with a GPS collar.

But he is revisiting it. He is demanding that the drug companies produce all of their testing data. He claims that he was told by pharma execs that the vaccines were safe and effective but he's heard from other that isn't the case. I think Kennedy and his team are in that camp because they were all saying so during the lockdowns and forced vaccinations.
He wants to know if he was lied to by pharma and I think most if not all of us believe he was and if that's true I expect he will open a can of whoop ass on pharma.

The rule is clear: a ball hit into the stands is literally up for grabs. The person who manages to secure it, gets to keep it. There are no claims as to who was sitting where when the ball landed. Possession is everything, as in 'I am holding the ball, ergo, it is my ball.'
It's like Shotgun. The 1st person to call Shotgun while in sight of the car, is the Shotgun. There can be no debate.
Finally, let us not ignore the role that 'Finders keepers losers weepers' plays in these type situations.
