Catching up on some news - hope you had a good long weekend. First up, the mainstream media are reporting on a "little-known tech company" joining the race to a $1 trillion USD market cap. That little-known company is NVIDIA. Righto then. A 30-year old tech company, that you have possibly never heard of, has seemingly come out of nowhere to overtake tech giants Facebook and Tesla in the race to a $1 trillion milestone.

Speaking of expensive things, Apple have unveiled Apple's Vision Pro, a new VR headset with the Apple touch - and pricetag. Reception from the tech press has been pretty damning, but I can't help recalling how we all laughed at the iPad when it first came out too. I also quite like the idea of being able to RECORD using the headset and then have others play it back. Reminds me of William Gibson novels. Anyhoo at USD $3500 a set I won't be buying one anytime soon but I remain intrigued.

I admit I haven't listened to this podcast yet, but it's an interview with long-standing OCAU member and overclocking champion dinos22. Reinvent Overclocking! In this intriguing instalment, we demystify the world of overclocking and introduce you to a genuine world champion, Dino Strkljevic.

Boneburner sent in this story about Dell's misleading monitor pricing in Australia. On June 5, the Federal Court said Dell Australia was guilty of making "false or misleading representations with respect to the price" of monitors that its website encouraged shoppers to add to their purchase. The purchases were made from August 2019 to the middle of December 2021. If you bought one, you might be eligible for a refund: Dell is looking into refunding customers, "plus interest," Dell's statement to The Register added, and the company is "taking steps to improve our pricing processes to ensure this sort of error does not happen again."

Apparently the shortage of Raspberry Pi boards may be coming to an end soon. With support from Sony, a long-time partner of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the production of Raspberry Pi units should increase dramatically—and will hold there for “as long as is necessary” to meet pent-up demand. I reviewed the Pi 4 Model B here back in 2020, and one of the cooler projects I've done with it is BirdNET-Pi, which identifies birds in your garden via their calls. There's also a general Pi thread here.

Courtesy of The Sizzle, here's a cool article (and documentary) on wartime code-breakers in Brisbane. They were known as the Garage Girls: a group of women code breakers who worked – around the clock in eight-hour shifts – in a shed behind a Brisbane mansion during World War II. I was not aware of this story, but they're described as Australia's version of Bletchley Park.

Finally, I can't remember where I found this, but if you've ever wanted to generate secure passwords from the lyrics of America's greatest singer songwriter, Kenny Log-Ins is for you! Hiiiiiway to (or out of) the Danger Zone!

Microsoft is killing off Cortana later this year. While users will no longer have access to Cortana in Windows, Microsoft says the helpful assistant will still be available to use in other capacities, such as Outlook Mobile. In a press release about ending support for Cortana, the company remarked, "We know that this change may affect some of the ways you work in Windows, so we want to help you transition smoothly to the new options. Instead of clicking the Cortana icon and launching the app to begin using voice, now you can use voice and satisfy your productivity needs through different tools."

It's a fair guess that Apple doesn't regret leaving the Intel x86 silicon garden. Apple announced at WWDC 2023, the Cupertino outfit is introducing the M2 Ultra, the "largest and most capable chip Apple has ever created." The reason for that is because Apple is leveraging its UltraFusion technology to connect the dies of two M2 Max chips to effectively double the performance. It's the same thing Apple did with the previous generation M1 Ultra, which itself connected a pair of M1 Max chips in the same package using its UltraFusion die-to-die interconnect wizardry. Apple's M2 Ultra is built on a second-generation 5-nanometer process. It packs 134 billion transistors, which is 20 million more than the M1 Ultra, and it features a unified memory architecture with a whopping 192GB of memory capacity.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 game is still years away but that hasn't stopped some speculation on sales. And those speculated numbers certainly are impressive. Grand Theft Auto 6 game is expected to sell around 12-14 million copies at launch, which somewhat aligns GTA 6 with GTA 5's previous incredible 11.21 million copies sold within 24 hours. While GTA 6 is expected to be a megaton release, it may not break GTA 5's explosive launch. GTA 5 shipped a total of 32.5 million copies in its first quarter on the market. GTA 5 launched at the tail-end of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generation on September 2013, so Rockstar Games managed to leverage both consoles at the height of their maturation

Google has been trying to step up its security game regarding all things Gmail, from client-side email encryption to brand verification measures to help prevent phishing and spam. However, a security researcher discovered an issue with the latter, putting all Gmail users at risk just before the feature was introduced. Regardless of the bug or checkmark system, people should always be wary of all emails and senders. In this case, though the checkmark was there, the email address was not legit looking even though it had UPS in the shown email address, which could also be spoofed. Better to be safe than sorry, folks—don’t put all your trust in Google protecting you from scammers, as mistakes can and certainly do happen.

The world's fastest data transmission speed record has been broken yet again. “What is special about this chip is that it produces a frequency comb with ideal characteristics for fiber-optical communications – it has high optical power and covers a broad bandwidth within the spectral region that is interesting for advanced optical communications,” he said. Interestingly, like many other scientific "missteps", the initial design purpose wasn't to break the world's transmission throughput record:

The story behind the Mirai Botnet is a pretty good read. When Mirai was released, it spread like wildfire. In its first 20 hours, it infected 65,000 devices, doubling in size every 76 minutes. On 8 September 2016, the FBI’s Anchorage and New Haven cyber units teamed up and served a search warrant in Connecticut on the member of PoodleCorp who ran the C2 that controlled all its botnets. On the same day, the Israeli police arrested the VDoS founders in Israel. Suddenly, PoodleCorp was no more. The Mirai group waited a couple of days to assess the battlefield. As far as they could tell, they were the only botnet left standing. And they were ready to use their new power. Mirai won the war because Israeli and American law enforcement arrested the masterminds behind PoodleCorp. But Mirai would have triumphed anyway, as it was ruthlessly efficient in taking control of Internet of Things devices and excluding competing malware.

While AI is the current tech hotness and is likely to be for some time, it is science that keeps us moving forward understanding the real world. Technically, the electrons don’t really “move” around the nucleus in orbits. Electrons are really waves—they show up as particles when you perform an experiment to determine position—and those waves are stationary. You can check to see where an electron is, but each time you do, it will show up in a different position, not because it’s moving but because of the superposition of states. The electron doesn’t have a fixed position until you look at it, and the wave function collapses.

I've read virus and malware mostly target humans as the soft 'in' today. But, I'm protected with scanners and anti-viris software, I'm tech and internet savey so the bad guys will never catch me out. But 'clickless' exploits ... now I am worried. The malware, which has been in use against Kaspersky employees for at least four years, was delivered in iMessage texts that attached a malicious file that automatically exploited one or more vulnerabilities without requiring the receiver to take any action. With that, the devices were infected with what Kaspersky researchers described as a “fully-featured APT platform.” APT is short for advanced persistent threat and refers to threat actors with nearly unlimited resources who target individuals over long periods of time. APTs are almost always backed by nation-states.

Chances are if your job has you breathing air that is 10,000 times more purified than an operating theatre it means you work for ASML in Veldhoven. You are one of a few dozen people that are keeping Gordon Moores Law alive. Chip designers have already begun to plan for such an eventuality. “There are many tools in the toolbox to cram more transistors in,” says Nigel Toon, chief executive of UK-based AI chip start-up Graphcore. “Moore’s Law may have ended, but that doesn’t mean innovation has died,” says Hassan Khan, an executive fellow at Carnegie Mellon University who leads the US National Network for Critical Technology Assessment’s work on semiconductors and supply chains.

Google's 1st gen ChromeCast has had its 10th birthday. To celebrate this momentus occasion Google released this statement. "Support for Chromecast (1st gen) has ended, which means these devices no longer receive software or security updates, and Google does not provide technical support for them. Users may notice a degradation in performance". It was good while it lasted, HotHardware wrap up some alternatives.

Surface Duo users arent happy with the continuing run of bugs from Microsoft. There are workarounds, the main one being that you need to dive into Settings to make a change. Specifically, head to Settings > System > Reset options, and then choose to Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth. That does come with side effects, though, like losing your saved Bluetooth devices, for example. Alternatively, another solution proposed is simply to turn off Wi-Fi and live without it, if you can (use your cellular data connection instead). Even if this may not fully resolve the problem, it reportedly keeps any unwanted rebooting to a minimum. "Microsoft is aware and is looking into it."

Retro Gaming June 2023 (0 Comments) (link)
 Saturday, 3-June-2023  19:11:18 (GMT +10) - by MUTMAN

This month's "Retro Let's Play" is Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon from 1991. Delve into the mysteries lurking within the mysterious Temple of Darkmoon before you end up its latest victim. As the heroes head to a local inn to rest and enjoy their newfound fame but a note gets slipped to them from Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun, Archmage of Waterdeep, who says that he sent a scout to investigate reports of evil brewing in a temple known as Darkmoon but she has not returned. Khelben then transports the heroes to the temple to find Amber and continue the investigation. While battling their way through the temple's clerics and other inhabitants, the players discover that the high priest, Dran Draggore, is assembling legions of skeletal warriors to attack Waterdeep. In the final confrontation, Draggore turns out to be a red dragon.

Meanwhile this month's "Retro Racing" game is Overspeed / L.A. Street Racing from 2007. L.A. Street Racing is a racing video game released on 1 December 2006 in Europe and on 28 May 2007 in North America. The game was re-released in June 2008 by City Interactive under the title Overspeed: High Performance Street Racing, as a low-price game. At the beginning of the game the player choose one of two available cars, before waiting at the "COOL-Market" for contestants to arrive. Once someone willing to race comes by, the player is given a choice of tuning parts from their opponent that the player can race for. Before every race the player is required to bet at least one of their own items, and since the player cannot save the game manually, losing a part means that the player has got to earn it again. "The framework for a very cool racing game is here, and certainly the driving physics are superb".

Ben and Julian have sent word on a worrying development in Gigabyte motherboards. While Eclypsium says the hidden code is meant to be an innocuous tool to keep the motherboard’s firmware updated, researchers found that it’s implemented insecurely, potentially allowing the mechanism to be hijacked and used to install malware instead of Gigabyte’s intended program. And because the updater program is triggered from the computer’s firmware, outside its operating system, it’s tough for users to remove or even discover. “If you have one of these machines, you have to worry about the fact that it’s basically grabbing something from the internet and running it without you being involved, and hasn’t done any of this securely,” says John Loucaides, who leads strategy and research at Eclypsium. “The concept of going underneath the end user and taking over their machine doesn’t sit well with most people.”
And here's a big big list of affected models.

AI generated SMS's, I cant ever see this being abused for scam SMS's. So what can possibly go wrong? Per Google’s documentation, “Magic Compose is an experimental feature within the Messages by Google app” used to make “stylized, suggested responses with the context of your messages.” This is powered by Google’s generative AI technology and will help you start or reply to a conversation with a little context. When you enable the feature if it is available to you, Google will take up to 20 previous messages of any variety to make these suggestions.

Why read those scam SMS's on a 5 or 6 inch phone screen when an a 100 inch AR screen is here now.
The maker of a new laptop device is trying to expand the size of your computer screen by ditching the monitor display altogether. Sightful is rolling out what it bills as the world’s first augmented reality laptop of its kind. The $2,000 Spacetop device is essentially the lower half of a laptop with a mounted webcam and a pair of glasses attached by a cord through which users can see a 100-inch projection of a workspace screen.

Actively cooling modern electronics means hearing a fan at some point, but solid state cooling in a mini PC? This is good. The AirJet Mini is a solid-state cooling device with no moving parts. Just one of these devices is capable of removing 5.25 watts of heat while consuming just 1 watt of power, at a whisper quiet 21 dBA. According to Frore Systems, the AirJet Mini is capable of producing 1750 Pascals of back pressure which is 10x greater than a single fan. To cool the CPU, the AirJet Mini uses ultrasonic frequencies generated by tiny membranes inside the cooling chip to push air from the intake ports to the exhaust port at the back of the device.
