It's the end of an era with the youTube CEO stepping down to spend more time with her family. The YouTube CEO was a key part of Google’s start. Wojcicki rented out her garage to Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998. That garage investment and subsequent signing on to the fledgling company worked out well for her. She ran Google’s initial attempt to compete in the user video space, and, by her own admission, played a key role in Google’s decision to purchase the platform back in 2006 for $US1.65 billion.

Have you ever had an itch to scroll webpages and spreadsheets with your foot ? Well now you can. If you’re looking for a more full-function input device that can be operated with your feet and don’t mind something that’s not “crazy small,” there is a niche category of foot mouse devices including DIY models and commercial gear from companies like 3drudder and Boomer.

I believe these have been mentioned here before, but the reservation page is now open for Moonwalkers. When activated, sensors in the shoes collect data on your gait. Machine learning algorithms then use that data to control the speed at which eight motorized wheels on the bottom of each shoe rotate. “There’s no need to balance,” said Zhang. “Just walk faster to accelerate and walk slower to decelerate.”

Federal government, cyber security, strategy, structure. If you add these together and you get Australia's national office for cyber security. “The first will be to try to provide some strategy and structure and spine to the work being done across government, so it will mean things like making sure that the billions of dollars that we are investing in cyber security each year are being spent in a way that’s strategic and appropriate, that we've got different parts of government communicating with each other and working together on helping lift cyber security protections across the country.

The Australian Federal government has a national initiative to provide 50 megabits per second NBN plans to boost education opportunities and narrow the digital divide. The Australian Government is working with NBN Co to provide up to 30,000 families with no internet at home free NBN for 12 months. To be eligible, families with school age children will be nominated by participating schools, education authorities and charities/community organisations. These organisations will identify and provide information directly to families within their respective systems about the initiative. The Smith Family, Catholic Network Australia, and Catholic Education WA have already joined the initiative, with more organisations to be announced shortly.

Zoox Inc., is Amazon's self-driving startup. And for the first time it carried passengers in their fully autonomous vehicle, on public roads. Last week, the electric vehicle, which doesn’t have a steering wheel, ran a mile-long route carrying staff between Zoox’s two main buildings in Foster City, California, the company said in a statement. The firm will now operate a shuttle for employees on the same trip while it seeks additional clearances to expand its service to the public.

If you need lots of RAM in your desktop, maybe these MSI mobos will be of interest - once bigger DIMMs are available. MSI has shared some screenshots of two different systems configured with the new DDR5 modules, boosting their max RAM support from 128GB to 192GB. The first screenshot shows a PC system packing an Intel Core i9-12900KF and an MSI MPG Z690 Carbon WiFi motherboard loaded with four Corsair branded DDR5-5600 memory modules. Still not quite enough for the fastest Chia plotting, though - for that you'll presumably need a Xeon, Threadripper or EPYC.

The Sizzle today pointed out the results of the 2022 Consumer Survey on Online Copyright Infringement. At 159 pages it's a big read, but in the spirit of showman P.T. Barnum, it has something for everyone. Almost 90% of the most dedicated Aussie consumers obtain content strictly legally, but it can also be argued that 40% of the population are pirates. "Unlawful consumption" now includes login sharing.

The Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues to draw regulatory attention. The regulators specifically tried to look at what the acquisition could mean for the console and cloud gaming markets. In both cases, the CMA said its investigation found that it would be “commercially beneficial” for Microsoft to make Activision Blizzard games exclusive to its platforms, or at least “materially worse” for its competitors. Discussion continues here.

They also have invested billions into ChatGPT, thanks Sniper - with AI-enhanced Bing coming soon. Microsoft’s new Bing chatbot might seem similar to ChatGPT. But in a meeting with investors on Tursday Amy Hood, Microsoft’s finance chief, said Microsoft is employing a “next-generation OpenAI model that is more powerful than ChatGPT.” Meanwhile Google lost a lot of market value in response to an AI error. Social media users quickly pointed out that the company could've fact-checked the exoplanet claim by, well, Googling it. The ad aired just hours before Google's senior executives touted Bard as the future of the company at a launch event in Paris. By Wednesday, Alphabet shares had slid as much as 9% during trading hours, balancing out by the day's close.

From the "this is so simple why hasn't it been done before" pile comes Corsair's RMx SHIFT PSUs, which move the modular cable connectors to the side of the unit, so you don't have to delve deep into the chassis to awkwardly connect cables to the front/back of the PSU. The bigger advantage is the ease in connecting cables to the power supply—you can add or remove them without having to unmount the PSU. With a modular power supply, that’s a huge time saver. Because you insert the cables yourself, user error is always an ever-present possibility.

This is from last month, but apparently Raptor Lake CPUs are not as overclockable as previous generations. For Raptor Lake, we're told that Intel simply didn't make the mistake of issuing a pre-release microcode with the feature unlocked, so motherboard makers don't have a version to enable BCLK overclocking on locked chips. So Intel basically stopped the practice by not making the mistake of giving the motherboard makers an opening. Ultimately, overclocking Non-K chips didn't go out with a bang — it was more of a whimper.

BlocksAndFiles have an interview with Mr Backup. I actually think we’re in a worse position. Sysadmins 30 years ago were running mission-critical servers on individual disk drives. No mirroring, no RAID arrays. And you would regularly lose disk drives, which would take a server with you. The same goes for laptops. This meant you were constantly reminded that you needed good backups, and constantly had a need to use them. Now anything mission-critical is RAID-protected, and most things are solid state. Today’s admins (and people with their own personal data) just don’t have the same respect for backups they once did, and assume far too much as a result.

Chinese scientists have made a working tractor beam. Sure, the initial experiment was done in a highly controlled lab, manipulating a specific type of Graphene composite and under a rarefied gaseous environment with a lower pressure than Earth’s atmosphere. But come on! They used a friggin’ laser to move an object!

This month's "Retro Let's Play" is Oni from 2001 from 2002. I remember Oni as an unknown gem, a pioneering 3rd person beat-em-up shooter. Not sure if it's actually a pioneer or just one of the first 3D games I played that executed varied melee combat moves well via a KB & Mouse (similar to Rune). The appeal of the game to me was the 2D fighter move list, set in an open 3D platform, with guns. Kind of a cross between Street Fighter Alpha & Double Dragon. To top it off Oni had a Ghost in the Shell style to the protagonist and police-state setting.

Meanwhile this month's "Retro Racing" game is Automobil Lamborghini from 1997. Automobili Lamborghini is an arcade-style racing game similar to the Ridge Racer or the early Need for Speed series. There are 4 modes of play: Arcade, Championship, Single Race, and Time Trials. Arcade and Championship consist of a series of races and the ability to unlock various cars; Single Race is a practice mode in normal racing conditions, and Time Trials is a single player race against the player's best times.

The trusty Dell has outlived another component. My wife has been using it as her main PC for a year or so, and on the weekend the boot SSD (an ancient Corsair 240GB) died. Reimaged onto another drive and it's good to go again.

I was surprised to hear they are still making Boeing 747s - well, until last week, they were. The delivery of N863GT marks the final 747 to fly away from Everett after 1,574 747s came off the production line. From the first 747-100 to the shortened 747SP to the most successful variant, the 747-400, to the final 747-8, Boeing’s most iconic work has exited the building at Paine Field. The building will now be repurposed for 787 rework and a fourth final assembly line for the 737 MAX. While this is the last delivery, the 747 will be around for decades to come, flying passengers between airline hubs and cargo all around the world. Discussion here.

A new Startup Accelerator is opening in Sydney. The program is being subsidised by the New South Wales government until 2025, when Techstars is expected to continue operating the accelerator program without state support. Terms of the government support package, including its total value are unclear, with Investment NSW declining to provide further information due to “commercial in confidence” reasons.

New homes in the UK will have mandatory gigabit internet. As of right now, gigabit broadband is available in over 72 percent of the UK. The new updates will mean that more people moving into new homes will have a gigabit-capable broadband connection ready when construction is completed. This will negate the need for costly and disruptive installation work after homes are built, and will enable residents to acquire the best possible internet service as soon as they move in.

Windows 8.1 has joined Windows 7 on the no-longer-supported pile. After January 10, 2023, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support for Windows 8.1. You might be able to upgrade your Windows 8.1 device to a newer version of Windows, but we recommend moving to a new PC that can run Windows 11 as the best option.

HotHardware report on a 500-CPU overclocking bin test. The folks at Igor's Lab tested nearly 500 Raptor Lake CPUs spread across Intel's initial launch lineup, including the Core i9-13900K, Core i9-13900KF, Core i9-13700K, Core i7-13700KF, Core i5-13600K, and Core i5-13600K. All of those CPUs sport unlocked multipliers, as denoted by the "K" designation in the model number, while the "F" designation means Intel disabled the onboard graphics, otherwise known as the iGPU.

Boston Dynamics have a demo video of their new humanoid robot. The robot could already run and jump over complex terrain thanks to its feet. Now, the robot has hands, per se. These rudimentary grippers give the robot new life. Suddenly, instead of being an agile pack mule, the Atlas becomes something closer to a human, with the ability to pick up and drop off anything it can grab independently. Such a delicately prancing gait. I look forward to being pursued by one across a dystopian wasteland at some stage.
