    TunnelVision vulnerability: Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose

    Mullvad VPN had an news update about this and it looks like only iOS devices were affected if you were running Mullvad.

    Seagate demos new multi-layer 3D magnetic tech with potential for 240TB capacities

    Imagine how long would that take to fill at SATA speeds? Then think about it in some form of raid, it would take forever to fill and so much longer if one failed and you had to rebuild it.

    HP wants more of your money

    I'm pretty sure I worked for the company that started this trend (at least with printers). In the late 90's a company called Printelligent started the service contracts for printing. So many cents per page black and white or more for color. They would service the printers and keep them in...

    Square Enix Market Value Plummets By $2 Billion After Final Fantasy 16 Release

    I think this is somehow a plot from Sony so they can buy them up cheap. I love the Dragon Quest games. FF games haven't had me hooked since FF7. Most of the rest of their games just do not interest me.

    4060 Ti 16GB due to launch next week (July 18th)

    The 4090 and 7900 XTX give good performance for the price, everything else has been pretty awful. The 6700 XT was a better purchase a year ago than anything near it now. The fact that with a specific (awful) sale on Newegg a 7900 XTX was only $800 today make the 4060Ti 16GB for $500 worse than...

    FCC wants to hear about how internet data caps affect peoples lives.

    I have never had a cap on my home internet connection. I had uncapped DSL (Slow but reliable) where I know there were months where I exceeded what the cap would have been with the local cable ISP. Now we have fiber also with no cap. My family did go over the data cap on our phone once or twice...

    Nvidia's AI Software Tricked Into Leaking Data

    But we all know that information will be fed to these "AI" systems because it's easier than actually doing it the right way. Yes they created a rigged test, probably because they know this is how other people/companies using these systems will do it also. It's just a matter of time before we...

    Tesla is off the hook for allowing gaming while driving

    I don't really care for Tesla, but this has to be on the drivers. If you can't drive without playing a game you shouldn't be driving. Also the fact that they know how many people are sitting in the car would keep me away from them. Though I expect that that will be much more common in all cars...

    Nvidia shares soar nearly 30% as sales forecast jumps on 4060 Ti beat

    My favorite comment I read about this said Nvidia's market cap jumped higher than all the revenue they have ever earned.

    Mullvad VPN raided by law enforcement

    I can pull 400-500 mbps through the app at all times on my computer. Not as fast as my Google fiber can connect, but faster than most websites load without it. I like not being tracked and with Google as my ISP there is too much tracking.

    NZXT’s First GPU

    Dyson doesn't make bladeless fans, they just hide the blades inside the base of the fans so it's prettier.

    Newegg Starts Using ChatGPT

    Somehow I still think the search will be miles ahead of the garbage Amazon search.

    Epic doing Epic things?

    Look into Legendary (https://github.com/derrod/legendary). It allows you to run the Epic Games Store without the launcher installed at all. You can just go to the website and pick up the free games. Epic still knows you are playing the game, but they don't get to track your entire computer like...

    LLaMA drama as Meta's mega language model leaks

    I still use Winamp daily, but having a NFT Library option in it is just wrong.

    Twitter shut off its internal Slack, and now ‘everyone is barely working’

    Jack was not the CEO at the time Elon bought it. Twitter was also earning enough to pay it's debts and making money. Not a lot, but enough that if it had continued that way it would have been fine. What ever Elon did after taking over, Twitter does not work correctly the way it used to. I block...
