Aether ??? (aether@poa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Feb-2024 21:30:58 JST Aether ??? Elon Musk roasted Microsoft for requiring use of a Microsoft online account when setting up a new PC.
tomshardware.com/software/windows/elon-musk-blasts-microsoft-about-windows-11s-account-requirement-takes-several-hours-to-bypass-it
It's still possible to get around this, but Microsoft keeps making it more difficult. And if your laptop finds and connects to a nearby free WiFi point, the usual options don't work.
This is a problem I no longer have; the only WiFi networks I can see from my house are my own router because I live out in the bush. -

Aether ??? (aether@poa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 20-Feb-2024 22:25:26 JST Aether ??? Global Foundries is set to receive $1.5 billion in government funds under the CHIPS Act, and another $600 million from New York state in one form or another.
tomshardware.com/tech-industry/manufacturing/globalfoundries-gets-15-billion-from-chips-fund-dollar600-million-from-ny-state
Global Foundries was originally the manufacturing arm of AMD, and was then spun off as a separate company, acquired the semiconductor operations of AMD, and was bought by the UAE, not necessarily in that order.
The company is planning to invest $12 billion over the next decade, mostly on specialised production like gallium nitride and expanding bulk processes on 12nm.
Is this money well spent? Probably not; if it were, Global Foundries wouldn't need the money. Is it money better spent than almost anything the US federal government does? Maybe.In conversation from poa.st permalink Attachments

Aether ??? (aether@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 16-Feb-2024 20:39:24 JST Aether ??? Google suggests that owners of older Windows laptops should migrate to ChromeOS.
tomshardware.com/software/operating-systems/google-proposes-users-of-older-windows-10-pcs-to-migrate-to-chromeos-flex-600-devices-certified
This would be a great idea. ChromeOS will run fine on hardware that Windows 11 would leave dead in a ditch. Slight problem is the fact that Google is no more trustworthy than Microsoft and would have far more control over your data.In conversation from poa.st permalink Attachments

Aether ??? (aether@poa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 06-Feb-2024 05:47:32 JST Aether ??? A Mastodon vulnerability allowed attackers to take over user accounts.
bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mastodon-vulnerability-allows-attackers-to-take-over-accounts/
Fortunately Mastodon is distributed, so... The bug will persist until every single Mastodon node has been individually updated.

The result is that the profession can be easily replaced by Prajeets who work for half that. In conversation from poa.st permalink Attachments

Aether ??? (aether@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 01-Feb-2024 22:16:08 JST Aether ??? Senate hearing with five social media CEOs was a missed opportunity.
techcrunch.com/2024/01/31/senate-hearing-with-five-social-media-ceos-was-a-missed-opportunity/
A missed opportunity for what, the Verge does not say.
But reading between the lines, they mean it was a missed opportunity for the largest censorship and propaganda program in human history, so we can only be glad they dropped the ball again.
Also, Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of Twitter, is an utterly useless woman, but you already knew this.In conversation from poa.st permalink Attachments
