Daily Tech News 22 May 2026

Top Story

Got up early to get something fixed at worked - looked like a two hour job.

By the end of the day it had clearly turned into a two day job, so that was fun.
Google is bringing something new to its AI-powered search: Ads. (The Register)

Ads. Lots of ads. On Google.

The websites that Google scours for its content get nothing.
Six search engines worth trying now that Google has shit not only its own bed but everyone else's bed. (Tech Crunch)

I use DuckDuckGo (have for years) and Brave. DuckDuckGo was originally noticeably less complete than Google, but Google has fixed that by diligent strategic incompetence.

Tech News

The TanStack supply-chain breach that I noticed but did not report on here has expanded to 3800 GitHub repositories. (Bleeping Computer)

Vectored via a GitHub employee. Sometimes AI isn't the worst thing.
Google accidentally leaked details of an unpatched Chromium flaw. (Bleeping Computer)

Unpatched since December.

December 2022.

Chromium is the engine underlying Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, and other browsers.
AMD is ramping up production of its new 256-core Zen 6 Epyc server CPU. (Tom's Hardware)

It's claimed to be 70% faster than existing 192-core Zen 5 models, which is plausible since it also jumps from TSMC's 4nm process to 2nm. Server CPUs are limited by power and heat more than raw clock speeds, and 2nm uses a lot less power.
Lisuan Tech's new 7G100 graphics card is... A graphics card. (Tom's Hardware)

It exists. It actually works, which requires a lot of work. And at around $500 it's not the most expensive option.

The article notes the Nvidia's previous-generation low-end RTX 4060 is 20% to 70% faster, but that's not correct. The 7G100 actually delivers 20% to 70% of the performance of the 4060.
The Flipper 1 is not one more than the Flipper 0. (Tom's Hardware)

The Flipper 0 is a pen-testing (security testing) multitool, a single device that can scan for security issues on a range of wired and wireless connection methods.

The Flipper 1 while keeping the same multi-tool form factor is a general purpose Linux computer that you can clip to your belt. Perfect for technicians who need to be able to plug into whatever device you have locally and figure out why it's not talking... Whether they should be doing that or not.

38 Well, or son and our DiL closed on their first starter home yesterday.

In a world of flipped homes, it was nice that the previous owners left them a hand written letter on the kitchen counter talking about the life events that the home had been a part of, and a wish that they would continue to see new adventures with the home.

It affirmed the feeling that all of us had while looking at it that this was a home that had been loved, and that the family had simply outgrown it, and it was time for them to move to their next adventure.

Why? Why would you touch your screen with your greasy filthy hands when you have a keyboard and mouse, which are purpose built and superior and quicker for input?

Literally makes no sense.

62 G'evening and g' morning to all the late toilers and early risers. 'Tis Friday, the consummation devoutly to be wished!

Last night I dreamed a variant on one of the classic dreams. I apparently was in some kind of advanced math class and had not attended half the sessions, and here it was the last class before the final. I joined a line of supplicants -- this for some reason was in a cafeteria that also resembled a train car --- to speak to the professor about getting an incomplete. To my surprise (not in the dream but on waking reflection), the teacher was -- Barky Obongo! I schmoozed with him about being brought up in a poor part of town, roaches everywhere, etc., and was explaining that my mother and I had been sick this semester, when Stirling the black cat woke me by jumping on my ribs.

Dreams, right? You know the closest Barky ever got to an advanced math class would have been "dating" one of the (probably male) grad students in math at Occidental.

78 SMS based 2FA has always been a flaming dumpster fire in terms of security because SMS is so insecure and is tied to the SIM in the phone, which can be

a) cloned
b) taken over by a bad actor who convinces "support" at your phone company he's you, and he needs a replacement sim.

Shared secret authenticators have been better unless if the shared secret gets compromised on either end. Passkeys have yet to be determined just how secure they truly are (I suspect a major back-doorable compromise is waiting in the wings.)

Me, I make sure the authenticator is on a separate device than the device on which the authentication request is coming in, but I'm a paranoid old whitebeard that spent 30 years in IT and I know it's all a house of cards just waiting for the first breeze to blow it all over.

I can't do anything about the server side though, so if I hear of a compromise, passwords get changed AND authenticator secret keys get changed.

House. Of. Cards. *grumble*

Dot to the vet this morning for her upper-respiratory vaccine. It's Friday and since Her Majesty is out of town, I'm not eating meat today for my weekly Penance. Otherwise I wouldn't listen to music.

Does the Peace Plan take into account the de-evolution of Gaza residents into an inbred Stone Age tribe? Who would not be missed if they were fed to sharks and sea snakes in the Indian Ocean?
