| Authorities have taken down the dark web’s largest illegal marketplace Posted: 12 Jan 2021 05:57 PM PST  DarkMarket, reportedly the world's largest dark web marketplace, has been taken offline by a Europol-coordinated international operation, according to authorities (via Gizmodo). German law enforcement arrested the Australian man believed to be the operator of the illegal site, and seized 20 servers that hosted it, bringing an end to what had become a hotbed of illegal activity. Before its closure, DarkMarket hosted close to 500,000 users and had facilitated over 320,000 transactions, according to Europol. The dark web marketplace traded everything from drugs and counterfeit money to stolen credit card details and malware. Per Europol's estimate, the site traded the equivalent of €140 million in today's money, in a mix of bitcoin and... |
| Go read this report that uses GPS to prove Parler users stormed the Capitol Posted: 12 Jan 2021 05:38 PM PST  You should go read this Gizmodo report that uses Parler's leaked GPS data to show that its users were among the mob that stormed the Capitol last Wednesday. The report comes in the wake of the social network's near-complete removal from the Internet, and is a good read for anyone who's been following the story. The reporters, Dell Cameron and Dhruv Mehrotra, had to sift through tons of posts to build a map of the riot:
When Parler went down, a researcher was able to exploit some terrible... |
| Nvidia and AMD address the great GPU shortage Posted: 12 Jan 2021 05:08 PM PST  Nvidia's new RTX 3080, 3070, 3060 Ti and 3090 and the AMD RX 6800 and 6800 XT are all incredibly hard to find, selling out instantly whenever they appear, due to an incredible level of demand that makes these GPUs worth many hundreds of dollars more than MSRP. A Trump tax and surging cryptocurrency prices may be about to make them even more expensive, too. Many older graphics cards are sold out online as well. This week, Nvidia and AMD finally have some updates — and it's bittersweet news. On the plus side, AMD tells The Verge it expects to sell more of its own reference design RX 6800, 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT cards on its own website in the first quarter of 2021 at their sticker prices, which should mean $579, $649 and $999 instead of... |
| The Galaxy S21 Ultra may be the next big gadget to come in brown Posted: 12 Jan 2021 05:00 PM PST  Samsung's next top-of-the-line smartphone may come in brown, according to leaked marketing renders of the entire Galaxy S21 lineup shared by WinFuture writer Roland Quandt, and I have to say that it's giving me some serious Microsoft Zune vibes. The phone won't just come in brown, though — it appears there are five colors planned for Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra, including that brown, and you can see all of them at the top of this post and pictured below. Other notable phones have been brown-ish. I'd argue that the gold iPhone 8's aluminum could look like a very light brown in the right light, and the gold iPhone XS's back has some brown... |
| Go read this NYT story about losing $220 million in bitcoin Posted: 12 Jan 2021 03:09 PM PST  There aren't many good ways to lose $220 million, but this New York Times article highlights a particularly egregious one — losing millions of dollars in bitcoin because you forgot the password to your digital wallet. Stefan Thomas' 7,002 bitcoin (worth roughly $220 million) are locked away in an IronKey hard drive, according to NYT's Nathaniel Popper. The problem is he can't remember the password, and he's just two failed password attempts closer to losing them forever due to IronKey's strict security protocols. There is the possibility of paying someone to crack the drive, but Thomas would have to have the time and money to make that happen. It's a darkly comedic scenario, and Popper's story hits all of the cryptocurrency classics to... |
| AMD will let consumers buy the Threadripper Pro directly Posted: 12 Jan 2021 02:56 PM PST  If you've yearned for the power of the Threadripper Pro, but haven't wanted to buy a ThinkStation, you're in luck: starting in March, AMD will begin selling the CPUs directly to consumers, ending Lenovo's exclusive access to the processor line. While the vanilla Threadripper seems like the peak of computing power to many (myself included), there are certain benefits the Pro line offers that would be seriously beneficial to those who need them:
To sum up those massive numbers into a more real-world picture, the Threadripper Pro allows users to work with larger datasets due to its expanded memory... |
| US to require negative test from international travelers Posted: 12 Jan 2021 02:35 PM PST  Anyone traveling to the United States on an international flight will have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within three days before the trip, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday. The order will go into effect on January 26th. The sweeping requirement comes a few weeks after the CDC mandated that anyone flying in from the United Kingdom must receive a negative test result within the 72 hours prior to their flight. That order was based on concerns about a more contagious coronavirus variant spreading through the UK. That variant is already present in the United States. Testing "can make travel safer, healthier, and more responsible by reducing spread on planes, in airports, and at destinations,"... |
| Exclusive: Apple held talks with EV startup Canoo in 2020 Posted: 12 Jan 2021 02:25 PM PST  Apple held meetings with California EV startup Canoo in the first half of 2020 as part of the Silicon Valley giant's secretive effort to advance its own electric vehicle project, three people familiar with the talks have told The Verge. The two companies discussed options ranging from investment to an acquisition, according to two of the people. Canoo's scalable electric vehicle platform, or "skateboard," is largely what drew Apple's interest, the people said. The platform is different from ones developed by other startups and larger automakers because it integrates more of the car's electronics, allowing for greater flexibility in cabin design. It also features steer-by-wire technology, which also increases design flexibility and is not... |
| Origin updates EVO15-S and EVO17-S with new RTX 3000 series GPUs Posted: 12 Jan 2021 02:19 PM PST  Origin has upgraded its EVO15-S and EVO17-S gaming notebooks and its NT-15 and NT-17 workstations to include Nvidia's latest GeForce RTX 3000 mobile graphics cards (up to an RTX 3080 with Max-Q design). You can configure both lines with 10th Gen Core i7 Intel processors, up to 64GB of RAM, and up to 2 x 2TB of storage. You can select a 300Hz 1080p display (a new option for the 2021 models), a 144Hz 1080p display, or a 60Hz UHD display (which is an OLED on the 15-inch models). All models have a useful selection of connections, including three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one Thunderbolt 3 port, one microSD Push-Push card reader, one Mini DisplayPort 1.3, one HDMI output, and one RJ-45 Ethernet jack. |
| GitHub reportedly fired a Jewish employee who warned co-workers to stay safe from Nazis Posted: 12 Jan 2021 01:59 PM PST  GitHub reportedly fired a Jewish employee after he posted a message in Slack that said "stay safe homies, Nazis are about" the day of the attack on the US Capitol, according to Business Insider. The message sparked controversy inside the company, with one colleague criticizing him for using divisive language. GitHub's HR team chastised the employee for using the word "Nazi" in a company Slack channel. Two days later, GitHub allegedly fired him, citing vague patterns of behavior. The employee asked Business Insider to remain anonymous for fear of online harassment. The move shows a lack of understanding on the part of GitHub management, both about the gravity of the attack on the US Capitol and the contextual use of the word Nazi. After... |
