Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “CANCELLED by China…”.
Sometimes, Tech news is good, sometimes it’s bad, but I can always share it with you, and that makes me glad. I love you. James. China has decided to block the use of Intel and AMD chips from government PCS and servers in a brilliant master class on how to use the Uno reverse card. While we are just finding out about this, China’s new computer guidelines came into effect on December 26th of last year.
Honestly, it was nice of them to let American CPU manufacturers enjoy Christmas before breaking everyone’s hearts. The government has an approved list of only 18 processors and only one of them uses the x86 architecture, a chip made by a Chinese company with a normal length name, Shanghai, Xiao, Xin, integrated circuit Company, Limited every other chip on China’s list of the coolest CPUs uses. Either arm cores or risk 5 architecture, in addition to Hardware, they are sidelining Microsoft, Windows and any forign made database software. This makes sense, since just last year, China unveiled its first homegrown open- source desktop operating system.
That was really just the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution. With a Windows s coat of paint, and can you really blame China for this move? I mean the US is doing the same thing to China, looking at all their stuff that they left in your house just hurts too much. Oh, you forgot your scarf um. Can I see you again, the EU is investigating Apple meta and Google for non-compliance with the digital markets.
Act, noticeably absent from the list is Microsoft. In fact, the Virg Tom Warren claimed on Twitter that Microsoft is the only big tech company that the EU isn’t investigating. For dma non-compliance I mean the European commission even launched investigatory steps for Amazon’s ranking practices. I guess Microsoft hasn’t done anything wrong since the dma took effect in May of last year, except that they have. They have everyone, except for the EU, knows that Microsoft has been challenging your mom for the award for best guilt trips. For the some time now, in October, the company decided to expand on their Deluge of banners and stop gaps when users dare to install Chrome using the edge browser by adding a poll to ask what did we do wrong like an overbearing x, 2 months after that Edge users that set their default search engine to Google found their browser would get blocked by a popup asking them to switch to Bing. Just this month, Microsoft confirmed that they were rolling out one-time popup ads in Windows, 10 and 11 to convince Chrome users to also use Bing as a search engine. Why not both you know? Maybe Microsoft doesn’t do these things in Europe, giving the continent something else to make fun of North America for when they drink their wine and olive oil.
Fancy cheat dipping things and open. Ai has apparently gone to Hollywood to take meetings with directors and film studios. According to reports from Bloomberg, apparently coo Brad, lightcap and some colleagues are giving demonstrations of their AI video generator Sora in the hopes that filmmakers will integrate it into their work, and indeed they also just published a bunch of little shorts made by filmmakers. That artsy, but they’re, not real, but they are real best consumed with drugs.
Meanwhile, open AI, CEO, Sam Altman used this as an excuse to attend parties during Oscar weekend, like the total Chad he is while Sora isn’t available to the public. Open aai has reportedly granted access to a few bigname actors and directors, probably just alman’s drinking buddies. No one else. This is not the first time.
Sora has affected the industry about a month ago, filmmaker Tyler Perry, best known by his drag name. Madia announced he put an $ 800 million expansion to his Atlanta Studio on hold because of AI like Sora. Apparently he believes he may not need to do on location shooting anymore. If he wants to shoot a living room in the mountains, he can sit in an office and do this with a computer. Perry actually used AI power, daging techniques on two of his films, and that brings up a good point. Actors and writers have gone on strike over AI, but now the technology is affecting makeup, artists, contractors who build sets and Studios and even location Scouts.
All of these jobs are in Jeopardy because one guy saw a fake video of a woman walking in Tokyo. I didn’t know there were any women in Tokyo. He’S like wow she’s, pretty hot.

Oh, I remember. Nvidia’S AI dominance is being challenged by basically every other company. The United acceleration Foundation formed last year by Intel, Google arm Qualcomm, Samsung and others is gunning for nvidia’s Cuda.
The group has been working on an open- Source software suite that they say will reach a mature state in the second half of this year. However, there’s no final release Target yet so I guess n videoid is free to count their trillions until then, but we’ll get you. The leather jacket is to save your skin. When you Scrooge and duck into a pile of gold, his gold coins are hard. Google has apparently begun testing AI generated summaries of search results on a small subset of queries by users who did not opt into its search. Generative experience in order to see how the general public will respond to the new feature.
These AI summaries come with a warning label explaining that the feature is experimental, possibly because they seem to have a bad habit of redirecting users towards spam and scam websites ranging from low quality to actively malicious, unlike regular, Google. No, maybe the real experiment is to find what percentage of users will gladly type their social security number into a capture. In worst, Google News the company was ordered by federal investigators to hand over the personal information of YouTube users who watched certain videos, links to the videos and questions were sent by undercover agents to a suspected, cryptocurrency launderer. So naturally, the feds wanted Google to hand over names, addresses telephone number and user activity and IP addresses of anyone who watched those videos, videos that have been watched more than 30,000 times. While that sounds bad, it could have been a lot worse. The FBI could have rickrolled the suspect and that’s embarrassing in 2024.
Even worse, you guys are now on a list. I’M sorry. Microsoft has big plans to make life better for Windows 11 and Xbox Gamers at the game developers conference last week.
The company unveiled direct Sr. A tool that makes it a lot easier for devs to add support for multiple upscaler like Nvidia dlss and amd’s, FSR and or Intel’s cess. I mean XS Zess, Zess pool Microsoft, also just filed a patent for a technique that would improve rate tracing performance on AMD gpus, including the ones in Xbox consoles and desktop radio graphics cards, see Nvidia, you don’t have to choose between AI powered world domination and throwing Your gaming customers a bone.
You can do both piles of Bones like the future in Terminator 2 and EVGA in hot water. After an unannounced pin layout change fried a customer’s hard drives a redditor r, their power supply and was clearly told not to send back their modular cables when they hooked the new PSU to the original EVGA cables it killed. Their SATA hard drives turns out the pin layout of the power supply model had been changed, making them incompatible with the cables from the old unit, but no one at EVGA told the customer gotcha. Now EVGA is refusing to cover the damage.
That’S not like you. Even better, this may not be a new issue. It is like you, after Lou Rossman posted a video on the subject. The YouTube account for a PC Building Company commented that they reported this issue to EVGA two years ago. So that’s why EVGA broke up with Nvidia. They wanted to cook different parts of their customers, PCS varieties, the spicy life, you all going to burn, and you should come back to see what we cook up for you on Wednesday.
It’S a block party. Do you like gumbo, because it won’t be gumbo, it’ll, be more Tech news? It’S all. It’S the only thing. What is a gumbo, a toy .
