Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Google Lost, and So Did We”.
Tech news, Tech, news, Tech, news, Tech news: Google has agreed to pay $ 700 million in Damages to us consumers as part of a settlement with every state. Attorney’S General everyone over the search Giants, alleged anti-competitive Play, Store rules. I say alleged because Google has admitted to no wrongdoing as part of the settlement. Of course, classic 700 million is less than what the Play Store makes in a month and, of course, Google Play users make up a not insignificant percentage of the US population. Thus, the settlement only guarantees a minimum payout of $ 2 per user with more going to higher spending users, but hey that’s just enough money to buy Super Meat. Boy forever. Twice! Didn’T think about that two forever.
Google has also agreed to simplify side loading for at least the next 5 years and allow Android phone oems to pre-install more apps on new phones for at least 7 years yay more Facebook apps you can’t uninstall that’s raised some concerns that phone manufacturers might pack devices With bloatware, even more than they currently do, in addition, Google’s user Choice, Billing System, which was in the pilot phase, will be expanding, so more developers can avoid paying the Play Store’s default, 30 % cut they’ll now have the option to pay a much cheaper Google service Fee of only 26 % – it’s not so much better as it is slightly less worse, not a very good discount, but it would be a rich milk. It seems that messaging service beeper is struggling to find a permanent fix for its android-based iMessage app beeper mini after a few weeks of Apple whacka Ming the loopholes it was using before beeper’s new. Apparently, temporary solution requires users to have access to a Max unique registration data. The update allows users to share that data with others, but there’s still a finite number of Macs and a finite number of people willing to share that data.
Just so, you can send fancy blue bubbles from your Nokia. The cool kids will definitely stop sworting you now. One advantage of beeper’s new method is that the Mac associated with the registration data has no access to the user’s account or messages. Another Advantage is that the server Farm method used by other bridging services and by Bieber themselves, before Bieber mini potentially creates an anomalous number of users all supposedly using one single computer, which is exactly the kind of thing that draws the eye of Sauron and by SA R, i mean Tim Cook, you cannot hide, I see you, there is no life in the void.
Only death AI is undoubtedly coming for everyone’s jobs, but deoe. One of the world’s largest consulting firms wants to use AI to reduce the need for layoffs, deoe hired 130,000 additional staff this year, but found at the same time that thousands of their employees were at risk of redundancy due to reduced demand for certain Services. Rather than go through through large swings of hirings and layoffs, the entire tech industry, the past year and a half or two years, something deoe is using AI to assess existing employees skills then creating a plan to shift them into higher demand roles. And strangely, that’s not the only positive AI news. Today, weo has announced that a statistical analysis of over 7.1 million miles, driven by its driverless cars, has found an 85 % reduction in crashes resulting in injuries and a 57 % reduction in crashes reported by police. Compared to human benchmarks, that’s cuz AIS, don’t N! I feel like they’ll n, even more stitches get stitches.
Is that AI, though anyone interpreting that data needs to account for the fact that wayo only operates within a Geo, fenced area in three US cities, and that Robo taxis are far more likely to report minor accidents than humans, many of whom just silently prey that nobody Saw them back into that dumpster, but just in case you thought your job was safe again. An AI has also used its Little Robot fingers to beat humans at a rotating wooden Maze Game, an unusual case of an AI, surpassing people at a task that is both intellectual and physical. So, if that’s your job doing the little maze game yeah, I’m the wooden maze man you’re in trouble. Let’S close out this story with one of the funnier Reflections on our changing relationship to technology, YouTuber, J schlatt posted recent video about the growing subgenre of AI covers. Inexplicably featuring his voice and distinctive New York, accent to which he responded by releasing his own, actually kind of amazing cover of Frank Sinatra. My Way, I Did It My Way quote you for trying to replace me heartwarming, I’m going to replace myself. The only person is going to replace me is me now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by Samsung this holiday season season. You can save big on appliances because your home deserves to be functional and smart.
Perhaps a new vacuum might help clean up all the cookie crumb Santa will leave behind, or maybe it’s time for new fridge to store all that leftover. Turkey gobble gobble up some deals over at the link below and save up to 35 % off Samsung appliances. We can forgive scientists for mistakenly thinking that the atom was the smallest possible unit of matter for decades. When, actually it’s the quick bit – but you know so – it’s okay, Telecom giant Comcast says that, thanks to the widely exploited Network, Hardware, vulnerability known as Citrix bleed, 36 million of their exfinity customers have had personal data like names, contact info answers to security questions and the Last four digits of social security numbers stolen by hackers.
You know: hey it’s a tough world out there. You know nothing. Comcast could do except maybe apply the patch that Citrix provided for them on October 10th. Instead of waiting a week to get get started what they were busy, the internet pipes don’t clean themselves. Comcast CEO is in there going to wiping them manually. There’S a lot of Gunk Intel thinks it’s still on track to launch its next gen battl Mage gpus. In 2024, according to a road map shared by the company’s Japanese Branch, if that launch goes the way that the first Arc GPU launch went, this means that, just before Christmas, 2024 you’ll be able to go to the store and pick up your phone to read a Press releasee about it: it’s not because it’s not it’s not going to be there Intel’s Arc gaming cards have gotten way better thanks to driver updates and by the time battle, mage comes out. Team blue may have a dlss frame generation competitor of its own.
If intel sponsored research from the University of California is any indication so get excited for Intel’s, new gpus or at least nice pictures of them to launch next year or at some other time, mercedesbenz wants to use turquoise tail lights to communicate when a car is driving Itself, only Nevada and California have approved testing of the light color, but that’s mainly because they’re, the only two states where the automaker’s conditionally autonomous self-driving technology is legal. Frankly, I’m in favor of the choice. I I can’t think of a more soothing color to see before your legs are taken out by a Rog AI. Oh, that’s so beautiful you can always get a job in the metaverse cuz. They got no legs, the virtual reality.
Ship keeps sinking even though Zuck keeps plugging the holes with billions of dollars. It’S not watertight industry, research, firm, cirana, says sales of VR and AR devices declined by 40 % this year. Even though Mark Zuckerberg specifically asked Santa for the metaverse this Christmas, he even added tongue tracking to the quest Pro to better appeal to his fellow reptiles, but it turns out most bearded dragons can’t afford a $ 1,000 headset.
Someone needs to do something and the EU is adding three adult sites: PornHub strip, chat and x, videos. I haven’t even heard of the F the middle one strip chat is just about chicken strips just a bunch of boys getting together disgu the best tendies. The EU is adding them to their list of very large online platforms or vlops.
These sites are now in the strictest regulatory classification under its Digital Services act alongside Heavy Hitters like Amazon, meta, Tik, Tok, Twitter and Wikipedia. This decision will likely lead to user age verification Gates on all three sites, but it also provokes an interesting semantic. Discussion is Pornhub in some sense, a social media site. Can you be a PornHub influencer? You can add other users as friends on there.
You also probably shouldn’t unless it’s the guy, who does calculus yeah he’s having a great time, but you should come back on Friday for more Tech news. I promise it won’t get weird. It’S not not like it. It’Ll be fine. You please .
