Daily Tech News 9 October 2025

Top Story

The editors apologise for the unwontedly upbeat tone of many of today's news items. We do expect to be back to our usual predictions of imminent doom tomorrow.
The European Parliament has voted that words mean something. (The Guardian)

In a 355 - 247 vote, the parliament said that you can't call a plant-based product "steak" unless it was produced by feeding the plants to a cow. The same goes for terms like "burger" and "sausage".

All the usual suspects are outraged, as well as supermarket chains who will have to make sure all their products are appropriately labelled.
Germany meanwhile has ruled that the police can shoot down drones, whether they are plant-based or not. (Reuters) (archive site)

I think this should not only be allowed, but mandatory.

Tech News

Salesforce told Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters to go screw themselves. (Ars Technica)

The alliance of hacking groups claims to have stolen close to a billion records of data belonging to Salesforce customers, and demanded that the company pay them ransom.

Salesforce said no.
Synology announced that you know how we said you had to buy Synology-branded drives even for our desktop models, well, forget we ever said that. (Ars Technica)

Which is nice and all, but I think for many people the bridges are burned, the horses are bolted, the cat is out of the bag, the genie out of the bottle, and the toothpaste can't be squeezed back into the tube.
Python 3.14 is here. (The Register)

This version actually brings some significant changes: The dreaded GIL - the global interpreter lock - has been removed, and a new JIT (just-in-time) compiler has been added.

Neither is the default to ensure compatibility with previous versions, but they are there and ready for you to play with.
How fast is it? (Miguel Grinberg)

Not very. PyPy is a far superior solution to speeding up generic Python code, running 4x to 16x as fast as the Python JIT compiled in tests presented here.

But the new implementation of the free-threaded model - the version that removes the GIL - is significantly faster in 3.14 than the first version released in 3.13, so there is still that.
A chart of the bubble that dare not speak its name. (Bloomberg) (archive site)

"A Ponzi scheme with extra steps", somebody called it.
eBird - the world's largest citizen science project - has now clocked two billion sightings. (Phys.org)

They're still not real.

66 Synology NAS story: "the company claimed that its branded disks underwent significant additional validation and testing that, when coupled with customized firmware, yielded reliability and performance improvements over off-the-shelf components."

What additional testing, exactly? Document it.

What firmware got customized, how, and for what purpose?

"We are committed to our user's experience and we understand that this decision didn't align with their expectations of us."

Translation: After a month or so of this policy being in force, our sales had cratered, and we realized we'd better walk this steaming pile of excrement of a policy back with a quickness before we no longer had our phoney baloney jobs!

100 Morning to the early risers, evening to the late toilers! 'Tis Thor's Day once again. One more day to Friday, the consummation devoutly to be wished. I'm up with coffee and a pipe, taking it easy this morning. The area had rain last night, and is supposed to see a weak "cold" front come through today to lower temps about four degrees F. and decrease the humidity.

I dreamed something pleasant last night: I was at a party at someone's home, and there were two very attractive middle-aged ladies there. One looked kind of like Thelma Lou of Andy Griffith, and the other sort of similar. In fact the first one introduced herself as "Mary Grady." No idea where my subconscious got that one. Anyway, in my dream I moved fast and got both their phone numbers, and they seemed very pleased that I did so. Nice to wake remembering such a dream.

101 While his father was vice president, Hunter Biden sought to sell land around the U.S. Embassy in Romania to a group that included a Chinese firm. The deal collapsed in 2017, but critics say it’s more evidence of how Hunter’s foreign ventures blurred ethical lines and complicated U.S. diplomacy.

After the book club meeting at the library last night, we were going for ice cream, but the sudden rainstorm did for that. (Of course the rain stopped as I was parking the car at home.) I was going to bring up the topic of my putting my stuff in U-Haul storage and decamping to Indiana or Kentucky before the end of the year, but without the ice cream I thought it might seem harsh.

Tonight I have a pipe trunk show at the suburban pipe/cigar store. So I'll need to bring it up Friday evening.

Update on Mr. Finn. He's a house dog until he sees the doggie chiropractor next week. All his many and varied tests didn't show anything too terribly wrong with him: vitals were normal, no issues with his bones, his prostate has no abnormalities. He gets around without complaint and his appetite is good.

As to Miss Diana, I think she's putting on some weight. The last time at the vet, she was 60 pounds for the first time in quite a while. She gets a morning tear around the front yard to try to build up some muscle in her back. She gets some muscle-building powder in her buttermilk twice a day along with cooked chicken and raw hamburger. Now that Her Majesty is home, she's been a happy, silly girl.

We set it for this week because at the time we were worried about the hurricane coming in and wanted to be safe. Plus, it would give people more time to come in from out of town.

Turns out Imelda completely missed SC, and instead we’ve now got this cold front coming in, so it’ll probably be raining. At least the entire service is indoors.

I’m still pleased we waited the two weeks. That gave us a little more time to get everything together; all the prep work, and our emotional states.

No one is more delighted than me that the Yankees were eliminated, and at home to boot. But it's not because I dislike the players; they all seem to be polite and professional. No, it's Yankeedom that I want to see lose: the asshole fans who are always telling you about 27 championships, the bullying management, the toadying news media and the nimbus of sports parasites that they attract.

178 Like a good communist.

"Socialism is for the people not the socialist." Andrew Wilkow.

He and his kind hate philanthropy so much because it proves that individuals are better at it than the government.

... did anybody notice the date of the request ? May 27,2003
It was request over 2 years after Jan-6-2021. It's not like there was an emergency to save the republic.
