Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Where’s my BITCOIN, Elon!?”.
Ugh mondays, am i right don’t talk to me until i’ve had my tech news friday twitter had a terrible horrible, no-good very bad day on wednesday, as the site was hit with one of the worst hacks ever seen on social media 130 verified twitter accounts were targeted With the hackers gaining control over a subset of that number, tweeters saw the accounts of elon musk, barack obama, jeff bezos and more tweeting out offers to double the amount of bitcoin sent to their crypto wallets. That honestly doesn’t sound that out of character for elon. So, understandably, the hackers were able to make off with over a hundred thousand dollars, but the bitcoin scam isn’t the only news to come out of the attack. Screenshots of twitter’s admin tools were leaked, showing buttons that can blacklist accounts and trends, giving some credence to those who claim they’ve been shadow banned on the platform. The fbi is now investigating the attack and reuters reports that hours before the attack began posts on the gray market site.
Og users offered to provide the email address associated with a twitter account for 250 bucks. That info, combined with the fact that the hackers could have done way more damage with complete access to twitter’s admin tools than steal. A bit of crypto paint. A picture of an unsophisticated hacking group that just fortuitously managed to trick some unlucky, twitter employees and thanks to bitcoin’s logging system investigators, are actually tracking movement of the hacked funds right now, although i’m not sure someone who actually thought jeff bezos was gon na give you Free bitcoin deserves to get their money back. Wait he’s not give me the money. Give me the cash.
You know what movie that’s from no usual suspects, carpool critics podcast rumors, have been flying this week that nvidia’s future graphics cards will feature a new 12-pin power connector. The original info came from chinese language site fc power-up, where spec drawings for the connector were posted. They were igor’s lab added fuel to the fire with users, speculating that the connector might appear on the upcoming rtx 3000 series gpus. The problem is that would be dumb, because the 12 pin power connector doesn’t exist on power supplies yet meaning that anyone upgrading to an rtx 3080 would need to also buy a new psu with the right connector, which doesn’t exist. Well, there’s more speculation that nvidia might include an adapter in the box which would solve the problem. The other possibility is that this new connector is for a workstation card and not a geforce or rtx one, which would make a bit more sense we’ll find out soon enough.
Whether nvidia is just yanking our cables with this one when ampere cards launch in a couple months until then yank, i say yank and xbox might not have the playstation super cool, exclusives or pop collar aesthetic. But what they do have is love for their fans. In the blog post, xbox headphil spencer, he’s just ahead, phil announced that microsoft’s project xcloud game streaming service will be provided to xbox game, pass subscribers free of charge when it launches in september. He also said all first party xbox game studios games released in the next couple of years will run on both xbox one and xbox series x, meaning you won’t have to get the fancy new console to play the fancy new game.
What, if i want to then buy it that said, microsoft did just discontinue the xbox one x and one s fueling, rumors, that the series x will be joined by the lower powered disk drive lacking version code named lockhart, the version codenamed lockhart, and we don’t really Have anything snarky to say about this?
