Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Your Motherboard is the Virus”.
Why look at you you’re, nothing but Skin and Bones come sit down. Let me hand feed you a healthy helping of tech news now, 100 sugar-free Intel has partnered with chip giant Media Tech. In an effort to close the gap on manufacturing, Rivals, Intel, Foundry services will manufacture chips for medical devices, industrial Computing and more as they invest over 40 billion dollars. Building new fabrication plants around the world. The aggressive play is in line with Intel CEO, Pat gelsinger’s, pledge to make The Foundry business a key priority in the face of stiff competition from the likes of tsmc and Samsung, who now account for over 70 percent of global Foundry production. It’S really heartwarming to see two small companies that are worth only a couple hundred billion dollars each come together to take on the big guys. Last year Intel announced it would build trips for Qualcomm as it launched its Foundry play and it hopes to catch up to its rivals in the Asia region sometime in the 2025 time frame. Meanwhile, the U.S Senate readies itself to potentially pass the chips act, offering up to 52 billion in subsidies to Makers who design and manufacture their own chips by suddenly hungry, I’m wearing cheesy guys security researchers at Kaspersky have discovered what appears to be a root kit in Asus and gigabyte motherboards running Intel, 8th, gen chips nicknamed Cosmic strand. This isn’t a new strain of ultra potent marijuana, but rather a malicious piece of code which runs during the low-level UEFI startup when you first power on your machine, not as good the root kit embeds a series of nasty hooks into startup processes in order to gain Access to a target’s machine and since it’s embedded in the low-level firmware, it can persist there even after a clean, install it’s like a monkey, pox rash. You can’t just scrub it clean analysis and comparisons to similar code patterns from crypto mining bot. My Kings has led researchers to believe that Cosmic strand is connected to a chinese-speaking individual and it’s thought to have been circulating in the wild since 2016.. That’S right: they’ve got your entire depraved search history stored on a server somewhere, but then again, Google and Facebook have had that for years. Now do something new hackers. Amazon is hiking the prices of its Prime subscription service across Europe. Amidst a rising tide of inflation, the company announced that customers in the UK would see a 20 jump in their annual subscription fees, while Germans can expect to pay 30 percent more. What did the Germans ever do and those in France will see a staggering 43 increase, though In fairness, France kind of had it coming sorry, France, snails are not a delicacy and I haven’t forgiven you yet for exporting that idea. The move follows a similar price increase in the U.S in February, where American customers saw their yearly memberships bumped up to 139 dollars from 119. Amazon. Ceo Andy jassy, I mean how am I going to get used to that referenced, higher costs, driven by inflation and supply chain shortages, as well as the addition of new products and digital content in Amazon’s catalog.
As justification for the changes I mean, the money has to come from somewhere and we know that Daddy Bezos doesn’t have pockets, that deep saving up for a new mega yacht give the guy a break a summer break. This Heat’s got me parched now to James for the weather. Now it’s time for the quick bits brought to you by sea Sonic, their Prime TX, 1000 watt power supply is a great choice if you’re building a high performance system them, it features an 80 plus titanium rating, which means less power gets wasted during power conversion.
The prime tx1000 has also fully modular and features both hybrid fan, control and fluid Dynamic fan bearings to reduce overall fan noise, Plus, on top of all that it comes with a 12 year. Warranty not 12 months 12 years, learn more at csonic.com or through the links below back to you Linus and we’re back Instagram head Adam massuri has garnered the ire of many social media influencers after the platform’s recent changes that prioritize short video clips, rather than pictures and Texts of your close friends will this trend never end? The changes even triggered a response from Kylie Jenner, with some critiques of her own, I’m sure, Missouri’s fight or flight response was triggered when he heard the low rumble of 300 million pre-teen girls screeching at their iPhones you’re done goofed now Instagram e-commerce giant Shopify is laying Off a thousand employees citing a miscalculation miscalculated bet that e-commerce would continue to grow beyond the pandemic. Ceo Toby litke announced that shopify’s Workforce grew from 1900 in 2016 to 10 000 in 2021, which apparently was too much good to know.
The employees will receive a generous 16 weeks of severance pay, which hopefully, will give them plenty of time to be rejected from other prospective jobs, as many tech companies have actually implemented hiring freezes. Amidst this pandemic-ish recessiony thing that we’re calling 2022. meta will be upping.
The price of the quest to VR heads is there any good news today? No by a hundred dollars in August, that’s right, like Pokemon cards or a used car. The now two-year-old headset is actually getting a price increase. Meta’S official reasoning for the adjustment is something to do with something something Rising: costs, inflation, Etc.
That’S been a theme today: meta’s VR Hardware division reportedly lost nearly three billion dollars last quarter, though so quite frankly, I think they should have increased the price more, although In fairness, daddy Zuckerberg is at least still involved in that company, so maybe he can just keep. Keep finding it uh in other billionaire news: Elon Musk and his team are jocking over Twitter’s alleged unwillingness to cooperate in the 44 billion dollar acquisition of the social media. Giant musk aims to back out of the contract, as his lawyers allege that Twitter is being difficult about providing necessary documentation and has not been truthful. Regarding the metrics for fake accounts and user engagement on the platform, this is like a bad episode of divorce court. At this point, accusations are hurled left and right, and all I want to do is know which one of them actually loves me more, I’m going with Mom, you can buy it, you can buy. My love and Russia has said that it will not renew its current commitment to the International Space Station when it expires in 2024. Heightened tensions between the U.S and Russia over the past year have seen Russia pull away from the ISS in hopes of launching its own Russian orbital space station or Ross. Who we all know was the best friend the ISS, I’m kidding the ISS was planned to operate until being decommissioned in 2030, but with Russia no longer cooperating as a partner. The station’s future is called into question without the help of our comrades.
It may drift Evermore into the endless black void space or lose thrust power and crash into the ocean, because if the Russians can’t have it, I guess nobody can and who knows what the tech news will bring on Friday, so come back then or risk losing your Thrust: okay: that transition didn’t make much sense when I changed some stuff, but I’m sticking with it. .
