Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “It’s gonna be a massacre…”.
In Canada, it’s not Presidents’ Day today, it’s either Family Day, Islander Day Heritage, Day or Louis Riel Day, depending on the province.. We thought about asking everyone to do the same thing, but that seemed a bit. Rude. Apple is planning some significant changes to its Mac lineup. This year, according to a report from usually-pretty-accurate Apple leaker, man Mark Gurman., Mark claims, 2022 will be the year.
Apple sticks the M1 Pro and M1 Max in a Mac Mini an iMac Pro and a half-sized Mac Pro.. And if you think, and the Macs and Pros are already getting confusing, don’t worry, watch Mac, Address’, short and it’ll all make sense. Nice., Which is of course to say it. Won’T.
Fittingly Gurman also says this year. Of mostly twos will see the arrival of Apple’s M2 chip in a 13-inch MacBook Pro a MacBook Air, a Mac Mini and a 24-inch iMac.. The chip itself is expected to have the same eight-core CPU architecture, but with a couple: more graphics, cores and faster clocks, while the itsy-bitsy version of the Mac Pro could have up to 40 CPU cores and 128 graphics, cores., But Mark’s, not sure which Mac is coming. First., We’ll probably find out in a few weeks at Apple’s March 8th event or sooner if someone else happens to surpass Mark’s skills at pondering his orb.
Want that orb. NFT marketplace OpenSea reported on the weekend that someone took their name a little bit too literally and Decided to go phishing with a P-H., Apparently, 17 users were tricked into authorizing the transfer of their NFTs to the phisher, who ended up snagging hundreds of tokens worth around $ 1.7 million altogether. Man.
I wouldn’t want to be those apes right, now. Sitting in some cold wallet, waiting to be invalidated.. That’S not a life., Though the attack was carried out during OpenSea’s migration to its new Wyvern smart contract system.
The platform’s CEO Devin Finzer said that it’s not a network issue, as it looks like the phishing took place out in uncharted waters, not the OpenSea website itself, proving that crypto is still more secure than regular currency., Even though the way that most people interact with it Is still gon na be through a platform with a username and password., It makes sense, somehow. And after being banned from Twitter. Donald Trump has launched Truth, Social, his own social media, app with blackjack and … Whoa. We might not be able to say that. As one might expect, though, the truth of the world “ launched”, is in contention. Here. Trump was expected to delay the Truth Social launch to March, but apparently really wanted to go, live on Presidents’ Day his day, and so the app evidently was not ready for a massive influx of users who were largely met by failed signup attempts before being placed On a wait list behind over 150,000 others. To make matters worse, Twitter users pointed out that the Truth Social logo looks almost identical to that of the solar panel company Trailar, who may be pursuing legal action.. Hopefully, Trump can DM his wife about the app’s problems, though that might be difficult since she signed a deal with the also free-speech-oriented platform Parler to provide exclusive communications..
Hopefully, the wait list gets shortened soon, so we can finally find out the truth of what the heck is. Goin’ on out there. There’s a what …. What is it Now? It’S time for Quick Bits brought to you by Vessi maker, of footwear, known for being lightweight easy to pack comfortable and, most importantly, waterproof..

That’S gon na make you wan na wear them everywhere.. It may become a problem. Just kidding it’s the opposite, So keep your feet dry and save 25 bucks. With our offer code techlinked at vessi.com/techlinked., Quick Bits., I told you they were coming. So why are you sitting there, like? You didn’t know that already Huh Activision has rolled out a frankly awesome way of discouraging cheaters in “ Call of Duty Warzone.”. If the game detects a cheater, it completely nerfs their bullets, essentially giving non-cheaters a legitimate god mode cheat to use against the cheaters..
It’S brilliant because it’s less fun to imagine a cheater being locked out of the game and more fun to run straight at them from across the map and execute them yourself.. Oh, you wanted easy mode. What do you think this is Super Mario? Get the ( beep ) outta here, So that’s a win for Activision, but Epic Games is showing them up a little bit by announcing that it’s offering hundreds of its contract workers, including QA, testers, full employment with benefits.. The move comes after a worker walkout at Activision, subsidiary, Raven Software, a couple months ago.
Since then, Activision has suppressed worker attempts at unionization, reportedly even moving QA testers to multiple different departments., Leaving things wide open for Epic to do what they do best and capitalize. On a marketing opportunity., While also helping people., I don’t know how to feel. More evidence pointing the the arrival of gaming Chromebooks has popped up in the form of a code change in Chromium, referencing Steam support.. This clue follows a recent code reference to RGB, keyboards and Google actually said it would bring Steam to Chromebooks two years ago. So it’s not that far-fetched. Can’t wait to see performance on a gaming, Chromebook myself., Pretty sure putting Chrome on things makes them faster.. That’S how it works for cars. Instagram is increasing the minimum time limit that you can set for yourself in their app to 30 minutes. Since announcing the optional time limits back in 2018. You could set a limit as low as five minutes to protect yourself., But I guess Facebook is getting a little concerned that people are becoming a bit too mentally healthy by spending more time away from the app and well. They got ta keep’em on there longer.. Thankfully, iOS and Android have app time limit options at the system level, so don’t get sucked into the metaverse just yet.
And I’m sorry. But if you were stoked about copyrighting, a brilliant work of art generated by your pet AI algorithm, we’re just not there yet. As a society., The US Copyright Office has rejected artist and scientist Stephen Thaler’s request to copyright. An image on behalf of an algorithm.
He created called Creativity. Machine. The office declared copyrighted works must have an element of human authorship. So there you have it.
Robots, not people. Yet. Creativity Machine could not be reached for comment because he’s not a person. Or her or it., And that’s it for this one people, but come back on Wednesday for more tech news and enjoy the rest of your holiday, whether you’re celebrating Finance, Minister’s Day or Milk. In a Bag, Day. They’re all great days., ( Riley, giggles ) .
