Daily Tech News 28 December 2025

Top Story

So what's the real story behind Nvidia spending $20 billion for a non-exclusive license to Groq's (not that one) inference technology?

Definitely not fraud.* (Ossa-ma)

Or so argue Nvidia and Groq's lawyers as the FTC no doubt prepares for a endoscopic examination of their respective corporate records.

Nvidia buying another AI company would lead to messy stuff like regulatory approval, and Nvidia doesn't have time for that. So they paid $20 billion for a non-exclusive license to the technology... Oh, and that also included Groq's executive and engineering teams and all their patents and trade secrets.

But not the company itself, or any duty to support its customers. GroqCloud has been left to quietly die under control of the former CFO, drained of its engineering talent and indeed its entire reason to exist.

What Groq actually does is interesting: They make chips that use hundreds of megabytes of internal SRAM rather than tens of gigabytes of external DRAM, and have staggering amounts of bandwidth - 80 terabytes per second per chip.

Not suitable for training LLMs but great for running them once they have been trained.

As for the deal: Is this technically illegal? Possibly. Will Nvidia get away with it? Probably.

* Though if not fraud, why fraud shaped?

Tech News

In other dirty Nvidia tricks, the company has dropped support for Pascal on Linux. (Hack A Day)

Who uses Pascal on Linux?

Oh, that Pascal. Nvidia's RTX 1000 series from 2016.

Still, more than nine years of support, and with some messing around you can make things work using open source drivers.
Meanwhile the Linux driver for the Radeon R300 has received fresh updates. (Phoronix)

That card is from 2002.

And if your card is only 12 years old Radeon HD 7000 and RX 200 cards have received updates in Linux kernel 6.19 as well.

They now run 30% faster.
The MinisForum DEG2 dock is now available. (Liliputing)

It has a lot more features than the DEG1 - it supports ThunderBolt 5 as well as OCuLink, and provides an M.2 slot, 2.5Gb Ethernet, a second ThunderBolt port for other peripherals, and two USB 3.2 ports.

Priced at $240. If you have OCuLink and don't need that extra stuff, the DEG1 is still available at $99.
Mirari is a modern - ish - Amiga motherboard. (Tom's Hardware)

It uses a PowerPC CPU (which the Amiga never did but might have done if Commodore hadn't gone extremely bankrupt) and a standard micro-ATX motherboard. It provides three PCIe slots, two M.2 slots, four USB ports, and a single DDR3L memory slot.

Which accepts 8GB modules which is more than any Amiga dreamed of.

And... No video of any kind. Which is a little odd for an Amiga project. But you can put something in those PCIe slots to solve that problem.
ChatGPT could soon start pushing ads in the middle of it's supposedly personalised responses. (Tom's Hardware)

I say "could" here as does the article but given that OpenAI is projected to be losing $74 billion per year by 2028 even if it meets revenue forecasts I'd upgrade that probability to 100%.

Maybe higher.
Graphics cards are next. (Tom's Hardware)

Expect price hikes and rationing.
Acemagic has succeeded in creating a Ryzen AI Max 395 system that I do not want. (Liliputing)

Yes, it has 128GB of RAM and is priced at a relatively reasonable $2399.

It's also gouge-your-eyes-out ugly.
The internet now causes cancer in New York. (Tech Crunch)

Or something. Sorry - no offence to Tech Crunch here, they're just reporting the news - but the story was so dumb it gave me both retrograde and anterograde amnesia. And also the other kind, the kind they don't talk about, that erases your memories in parallel universes where you didn't even read the article.

Shoe On Head Interlude

"This video is age-restricted and only available on YouTube." Because warning about a problem gets you censored but causing the problem is absolutely fine.

It's like these people are actively working to prove those ban-happy politicians correct.

(Link goes to a Shoeonhead video about teen dating apps which are every bit the cesspool you are expecting.)

Musical Interlude

I still remember where I first heard this song.

7 One of my kangaroo paws. I decided I really needed to plant them properly because they were starting to take root through the holes at the bottom of the pots.

One of them seems to have broken the main stem. I was struggling to pry it out of the pot and then it popped out and fell on the ground. It should be able to regrow that - they grow several stems.

I really need upgrade the drivers. I have an old HP laptop with Radeon graphics. Every now and then, it freezes and the video goes off and on. I reboot, see a bunch of GPU errors (I'll have to look around at the logs at some point) and after reboot, it's fine. No idea what type of Radeon vid chip it is but whatever HP used in there laptops 10 years ago.

Monday morning we plan to drive the eighty miles or so to the Tecovas store to check out their boots. The three outlets for Western wear here did not have anything I liked that I could afford. I'll spend a bit more if I can get just what I want, i.e., a lighter color in a round toe model that fits and feels comfortable right in the store.

55 AceMagic has been putting out those ugly cube-shaped Mini-PCs for several years now. I was looking at one in 2023 with an AMD Ryzen 9 and a RTX 4060 in it, which they probably still sell.

Never bought it, and glad I didn’t because AceMagic had a problem a few months later due to their Windows image having some kind of malware on it.

Near as I can tell they were using some. Windows ISO they scavenged somewhere and never bothered to run a virus scan on it before loading it on customer PCs. Apologies followed after an “unintentional oversight”, I’m sure.

So with hundreds of billions floating around Jensen is just going to buy his way out of the problem.

81 Mental health professionals are beginning to warn about a new phenomenon that’s been called “AI psychosis,” where people slip into delusional thinking, paranoia or hallucinations triggered by their interactions with intelligent systems. In some cases, users begin to interpret chatbot responses as personally significant, sentient or containing hidden messages only for them.

This has happened for a 100 years. People thinking that a radio or TV host is speaking directly to them.
I routinely listen to a AM talk show where some callers go right into a conversation with the host like they have been discussing the subject for the last hour.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at December 28, 2025 07:53 AM (NwnyJ)

Ummm, yeah. We call that a "front." At least, we did in the days before naming snowstorms and rain squalls to make everyone afraid. A front is the area where the temperature and pressure change between cells. And that means air trying to get from one to the other. The bigger the differential the higher the wind.

I'm not slapping at you, Martini Farmer, but at the weather guessers who have to feel important by telling you technical things that make you see them as your guardian experts. (Most weather maps no longer even display fronts on them. I still remember the symbols - triangles are cold and the semicircles are warm.)

94 Yeah, FDR outlawed it via XO, congress and the courts knew that was illegal but went along with it anyway. They reneged on gold bonds as well, and forbade gold clause contracts, very common with 99 year lease agreements.

This came to a head in the 90s, a sharp real estate attorney in Des Moines noticed a gold clause lease on a large office building, the tenant was paying a couple hundred bucks a month for the whole building. He demanded payment in gold, since gold had been decriminalized. Eventually prevailed. Terwilliger I think.

Yea, it's why it's in scare quotes. I can see the low pressure area on several weather sites and the isobar lines are packed pretty close together... indicating potential windy conditions.

Locally we have a guy who's somehow an online weather expert. His FB page is popular. But all he's really doing is pulling the National Weather Service's forecast (the text version) and packaging it up with maps and graphs.

Anyone could go to the NWS and look at, and run, the models forecasters use. Or, go to Pivotal Weather, Ventusky, Weather Wise, Windy or any other site to see, or generate their own forecast.

It's yet another on-line cottage industry no different than the other influencers looking to make a buck.

1 Steuart Lane, Unit 1901 — $11.5 million
This luxury condo in the 1 Steuart Lane building commands the kind of panoramic views only a 2,914-square-foot corner unit sporting floor-to-ceiling glass can deliver. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom abode seems to float atop the water, looking directly out on the Bay Bridge. The kitchen is uber-high-end, with top-of-the-line appliances, a marble island and a wine fridge. Similarly, the primary bedroom has deep walk-in closets and a bathroom fit to rival the fanciest spa. The 1 Steuart Lane complex also offers a “wellness center” with gym, steam room, sauna and outdoor hot tub as well as a lounge and waterfront terrace. Yet despite all that glitters here, unit 1901 lingers on the market, having listed at $11.5 million in September.

112 @86/NaCly Dog:

Doing pretty well. The family still has far too much turkey left over, but we're using it up in a variety of different dishes that my wife is an expert at cooking. We've done a round of turkey soup thick with egg noodles that was superb. Coming up, turkey fajita wraps, and turkey gumbo. :-)

I am, as I said earlier, hoping that the power stays on in spite of the oncoming ice storm, because losing power throws a huge wrench in well, everything.

The driving school bus thing seems to have evened out and is going pretty well. The kids have mostly settled down, realizing that I really will write them up for bad behaviour, and that does indeed result in them having uncomfortable conversations with their school's principal or VP as well as their parents. Some of the parents are on board and are supporting the disciplinary process, doing things that even surprised me in a positive way (can't go into details, but I've been impressed.) Those kids? They'll turn out just fine. It re-assures me to see some parents that understand the Biblical caution, "Spare the rod, spoil the child."

Delighted to hear things (and food!) are going well for you. :-)

It's both a bit depressing but also exciting to think that we might finally be on the verge of exposing massive corruption in government, both federal and local. Staggering amounts of money have been stolen from the American people and that as much as anything has contributed to the affordability crisis in this country.

Now if we can get the younger generations to understand that it the enemy isn't boomers or any one generation but the political class in this country that has been stealing from all of us and trying to make us fight amongst each other to deflect blame from themselves.

It depends.
If you have most of your data backed up to iCloud it will transfer those quite easily to your new iPad.

If you have a lot of data on it that will take some time to do.

You can also back up the entire iPad to a Mac computer in the Finder, or on your Windows PC through iTunes (at least you could do this at one time, I'm not sure if you still can.

I transfer mine through a computer backup.

I had to go to the State building last week. There were about 4 guards on duty. It took 10 minutes to get past them. I had to remove my belt and had to start my computer. I was literally the only person in the gigantic lobby.

I went to the big meeting halls downstairs where I used to organize large meetings and conferences. Empty.

There was a guy cleaning the elevator cab. The cab did not have a permit posted. It had a letter signed by some engineer that the "elevator would be inspected soon" it was dated 2022.

Upstairs again was empty. Giant waiting room with 2 dozen chairs, empty. Some literature strewn about. I presented myself at the service window and the guy sitting back there was genuinely surprised to see a customer.

This is a gigantic building. Thousands of state employees are getting paid for not working. Maybe tens of thousands.

By console you mean Playstation or Xbox?
You can get either for under $700 these days, but a decent monitor will run you at least $85 - $100 for HD/1080p.

If you mean a PC; you'd be hard pressed to build a budget gaming Windows PC for $700 because of DRAM and GPU prices.

You could also look at gaming handhelds that run on Windows (Steamdeck, Asus Ally, etc) that you can easily hook up to a monitor and run.

Steam will be releasing their 'Steam Machine' PC that runs on SteamOS (a Linux distro) next year. It'll be meant to compete with gaming consoles, but the pricing is expected to be up there $750 to $1000+ because of DRAM costs.

I'd wait and see how that one shakes out if you're interested in a Linux gaming machine.

I'd look at a handheld for him, then.

The Steam Deck runs on SteamOS, and you can use it just like a rgular PC if you hook up a mouse/keyboard then run a USB-C to HDMI cable to a TV or monitor.

The cheapest version available right now is $549 with 512GB SSD and an OLED screen:

That might be your answer.
The other great thing is that your kid can unplug it and use it anywhere.

Get a cheap 1080p monitor and you're set, for less than$700.

I like her a lot. I think that video was well worth watching.
