Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “My earnings leaked online…”.
I had a really weird dream: last night., But I’m not going to tell you what it was about.. Let’S do some tech news, [ Riley ] Linus. What what was it? [ Linus ] There was a Twitch leak, yesterday. [, Riley ], Oh, what was in it [ Linus, ], Twitch., [, Riley, ] Yeah, but what leaked Twitch did. Yes.
The whole thing. ( Riley laughs ). Yesterday, an anonymous 4chan user posted a torrent for a 125 gigabyte file containing the entire source code for the Twitch website, its various apps and SDKs, and internal “ red teaming” tools designed to test hacking, defenses, which I guess ( chuckles ), didn’t work. [, Riley, ], Hey. [ Linus ] Twitch confirmed that the breach took place but didn’t confirm the legitimacy of its contents., Which also included payout information for literally thousands of streamers, showing the top creators were earning many millions of dollars per year, which may actually be an underestimate, since it Doesn’T include income from multimillion-dollar exclusivity agreements., And this is leaving viewers who thought that their favorite streamer was. You know also a member of the proletariat absolutely shook.
[ Riley ] Who’s gon na be in the revolution with us, But perhaps the most interesting part of the leak is an unannounced game store intended to compete with Steam. Codenamed Vapour. (, Riley, laughs, ), Get it ?’Cause. It never came out Anyway. Change your Twitch password everyone. [, Riley ], Hey what No, what does it mean? Ey.
[ Riley ] Steam, vapor water vapor., But also vaporware ,’cause [, Riley, ], Yeah sure. Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger, has declared that AMD’s win streak is over Okay. He didn’t quite say it like that, because Pat’s, a nice man, he wouldn’t throw that kind of shade. [ Riley ] Get’em Pat, But he did let loose some Flanders-esque fightin’ words in an interview with CRN.
Gelsinger says that “ Intel won’t dismiss them of the good work that they’ve done, but that’s over with Alder Lake and Sapphire Rapids.” [ Riley, ], Great (, laughs, ) “ Won’t dismiss them of the good work ,” Anyway. These codenames refer to Intel’s upcoming, mainstream and Xeon CPUs. Gelsinger also besmirched ARM’s progress in the server processor space saying that Intel is going to make sure that ARM’s role there stays minimal. Dang It’s more like Pat Gel-zinger [, Riley, ] Ey Ey.
The comments from Team Blue’s leader hit the web along with a social experiment, video where Intel tricks, Mac lovers into loving Intel PCs instead, which to be fair, is pretty easy to do when you’re paying them for it. [, Riley ]. Some of them are pretty good. And yes.. Microsoft officially launched Windows 11 yesterday, beginning a new era For the PC. One that seems to be defined more by hardware requirements rather than major software features..
That is, unless you count the myriad bugs and performance issues that many users are running. Into. AMD has said that they’re working on a fix for a bug that is causing their CPUs to run slower.
Systems with Intel’s killer networking are experiencing drops in speed and failure for load some websites and games.. A memory leak bug seen in the pre-release builds has apparently survived the launch process.. It’S like a it’s like a memory leak, cockroach, [, Riley ].
It won’t die And we’re still waiting to see whether that nasty VBS feature is going to cause massive performance drops in game performance on pre-built computers.. Of course, many users are also reporting that their new Windows – 11 installations, are running. Fine, just fine and we’re as happy for them as we are for the surviving members of the Squid Game. [ Riley ], Oh Spoilers. How is that a spoiler [ Riley ]? Do people die or survive? Oh, my god., You know what It doesn’t matter.. The point is, it’s probably gon na get better.
And if it doesn’t, what are you gon na do Switch to Linux, [ Riley, ] Yes.? Yes, I will.. Let’S switch to the Riley things that go fast. Now it’s time for Quick Bits brought to you by SignalRGB. The free app that syncs RGB lighting across your entire setup with zero compromise., Because installing a separate app for multiple brands for each component in your system, which then don’t even work together, is I mean I’m getting frustrated. Just thinking about it. SignalRGB supports over 300 devices from Razer Corsair ASUS, MSI, Oris, EVGA Steel Series and more And with a pro license, you can make your RGB-equipped devices react to in-game events from supported games mirror what’s on screen, to match the ambiance and even react To music for a synched-up light show., So many colors.
Download SignalRGB for free at the link below.. Could you have ever imagined there’d, be this many short news items Valve has released a video telling people. They definitely should not Open up their Steam Deck and replace components themselves, because they could break their device or even die.. Then they show them how to do exactly.
That., Not the “ die” part the open-it-up part., It’s kind of the best of both worlds. Really., You know now. I just want an Apple video doing the same thing except it would just stop after the first part. Yeah., Don’t open it.
( Linus blows raspberries, ), [, Riley ] And that’s it Syniverse. A company that routes, SMS text messages for hundreds of carriers worldwide has said that somebody had unauthorized access to its database from May 2016 to May 2021., [ Riley ], That’s five years For five years.. ( laughs, ) US-based carriers have so far said that there is no indication the breach led to messages or personal details being compromised, but wow five years is a long time to just not do anything with access to that kind of sensitive information., [ Riley ]. Here’S a cookie, don’t eat it., But hey we’re not just telling you this to raise your anxiety..
We’Re telling you this to let this be your semi-regular reminder to not use SMS for anything., But especially two-factor authentication., It’s bad., But also don’t panic. Trust Facebook.. Google has proved once again that they are serious about YouTube Music, a good music app and have finally added background.
Listening for non-premium users., Five years. Wow, we got a theme today. Five years after they launched it and a whole year after they killed its predecessor.
Google Play Music, which had the same feature that they’re now just adding back into YouTube Music., But wait. It’S only in Canada., Wait what Oh Wow. We got something first, [ Riley, ] Nice All is forgiven. Google., Actually, not all is forgiven. Play. Music had a feature to just natively cast my Sonos stuff in and Google and Sonos they’re feuding and they won’t fix it.
So I’m going to Spotify. [ Riley ] They’re, a bunch of hosers. Samsung’s upcoming mobile processor, with AMD’s RDNA2 graphics, will reportedly support ray tracing. According to a post on China’s Weibo social media platform., We can’t imagine what mobile game would warrant taking a frame rate dip like that in order to have fancier reflections but hey, we said the same thing about PC games and now, basically, every gaming PC in the World has ray tracing on 100 % of the time..
I have it on me. Now. Now., It’s paradigm, shift. And Nintendo revealed the final character joining the roster of Super Smash.
Bros. Ultimate., It’s Waluigi. Is who it should have. Been. [ Riley, ] Ha Ha Got you., But instead it’s actually Sora the keyblade wielder from the Kingdom Hearts franchise, which is really sort of relevant right. Now.
[ Riley ] Have you played any Nah, I can’t say I’ve ever played a Kingdom Hearts game, [, Riley ] Me neither., But yeah. It’S still cool Sora’s in there, but what’s next SpongeBob, And that was the final story.. So come back on Friday for more Tech. News.
You wan na know what my dream was by the way: [ Riley ]. Oh what It was that I was not going to do the Tech News today, but now I was afraid of telling you about it. In case it didn’t come true, but then I thought you like doing the Tech News. It didn’t come true., [, Riley ].
I thought you love. Technology. Did I say dream. I meant nightmare. Oh.. I love doing the Tech News.
