| Today I learned about Karateka’s 37-year-old easter egg Posted: 05 Jul 2021 01:37 PM PDT  Karateka, an early martial arts side-scroller published in the US by Broderbund in 1984, was a little before my time. It was created by Jordan Mechner before he went on to make Prince of Persia — a game I do remember thanks to the horror of sending that character to a bloody, pixelated death on a bed of spikes. Karateka however was an early hit, with later iterations making it to NES and Game Boy. And the original Apple II version included a delightful little easter egg from the early days of PC gaming — putting in the floppy disk upside down would boot up the game upside down. This isn't new exactly — people have been trying this trick for more than 35 years — but it was new to me, and I got a quick refresher today thanks to the magic... |
| Hong Kong’s new anti-doxxing proposal could put tech companies at risk, says new letter Posted: 05 Jul 2021 01:12 PM PDT  A new letter from a tech industry group is driving home the risks of Hong Kong's proposed anti-doxxing rules. Sent to Hong Kong's privacy commissioner for personal data by the Asia Internet Coalition (which counts Google, Apple and Facebook as members), the letter argues that the new measures will have an extreme impact on due process in Hong Kong, and could result in major US tech companies ceasing operations there. The letter was first obtained by The Wall Street Journal. The letter comes in response to series of amendments to Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO), proposed by the privacy... |
| Kaseya ransomware attackers demand $70 million, claim they infected over a million devices Posted: 05 Jul 2021 12:45 PM PDT  Three days after ransomware attackers started the holiday weekend by compromising Kaseya VSA, we have a clearer idea of how widespread the impact has been. In a new ransom demand, the attackers claim to have compromised more than 1 million computers, and demand $70 million to decrypt the affected devices. Kaseya's software is used by Managed Service Providers to perform IT tasks remotely, but on July 2nd, the Russia-linked REvil ransomware group deployed a malicious software update exposing providers who use the platform, and their clients. The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) revealed that it appears the exploit used for the breach was same one they discovered and were in the process of addressing when the attackers... |
| The OnePlus 9 is on sale — and it’s an even better deal at $649 Posted: 05 Jul 2021 11:44 AM PDT  The OnePlus' latest flagship phones are marked down at several retailers, as spotted by Android Police, bringing the normally $729 OnePlus 9 down to $649 and the OnePlus 9 Pro (usually $1069) to $969. We think that the more basic 9 is already the better buy than the 9 Pro for most people, and the extra $80 off the retail price makes it an even sweeter deal. The OnePlus 9 gives up surprisingly few features compared to its more expensive sibling — you still get a Snapdragon 888 processor, display with 120Hz refresh rate, and an excellent 50-megapixel ultrawide camera. You'll have to make do with an unstabilized main camera, plastic rather than aluminum frame, and slower wireless charging. Considering that you save more than $300 off the... |
| Rimac takes over Bugatti from VW in powerhouse electric supercar deal Posted: 05 Jul 2021 09:17 AM PDT  Croatian electric supercar startup Rimac announced that it was taking over Bugatti from Volkswagen to form a new company called Bugatti Rimac. The news was first reported by the Financial Times. Bugatti Rimac will be led by Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009 in a garage as a one-man operation. Over that period, Rimac has become a highly desirable brand, with many legacy automakers calling upon the startup to help build their own electric supercars. It's not much of a question why that is. Earlier this year, Rimac released the Nevera, a quad-motor, 1,914 horsepower demonstration of electric absurdity, with a top speed of 258mph and an ability to leap to zero to 60mph in less than 2 seconds. The Nevera is expected to be the... |
| Airbnb has blocked tens of thousands of bookings in party crackdown Posted: 05 Jul 2021 08:11 AM PDT  Airbnb has blocked over 50,000 suspicious bookings across 15 US cities as part of a crackdown on parties in its properties during the pandemic. These include 7,000 in Dallas, 6,000 in San Diego, 5,100 in Charlotte, 3,500 in St. Louis, 3,000 in Columbus, and 2,700 in New Orleans, The company's head of trust and safety communication Ben Breit tells The Verge.

| Elon Musk just now realizing that self-driving cars are a ‘hard problem’ Posted: 05 Jul 2021 07:53 AM PDT  Tesla CEO Elon Musk is finally admitting that he underestimated how difficult it is to develop a safe and reliable self-driving car. To which the entire engineering community rose up as one to say, "No duh." Or at least that's how it should have happened in a just world. Instead, all the Tesla sycophants and ass-kissers on Twitter told Musk to keep up the good work, that they believed in him, and encouraged him to hurry up and roll out the latest version of his "Full Self-Driving" software that, it's worth pointing out, does not enable a Tesla vehicle to drive itself without input from the driver. Musk has a long history of over promising and under delivering when it comes... |
| Why roads in the Pacific Northwest buckled under extreme heat Posted: 05 Jul 2021 06:45 AM PDT  During last weekend's deadly heat wave, some roads in the Pacific Northwest buckled. Workers ventured out in blistering conditions to put cracked concrete and asphalt byways back together. Steel drawbridges were doused with water to make sure they wouldn't swell shut under the oppressive heat. The heat dome that sat over the region provided a brutal stress test of its roadways, some of which couldn't withstand multiple days of record-breaking temperatures. It's something that's happened before, in Washington, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and anywhere else experiencing extreme heatwaves.

| Andy Jassy officially takes over as Amazon CEO from Jeff Bezos Posted: 05 Jul 2021 04:40 AM PDT  Jeff Bezos, who has served as the CEO of Amazon since founding the company exactly 27 years ago on July 5th, 1994, has officially stepped down from the role. Andy Jassy is now listed as the company's CEO on its investor relations website, after previously having run Amazon Web Services since 2003, while Bezos is listed as Executive Chair. The July 5th handover date was previously announced in a shareholder meeting in May. It's an important moment for Amazon, which has had the same CEO for the entirety of its existence. Under Bezos' leadership, the company survived the dot-com bubble bursting in the late 90s to become one of the world's most prominent technology companies. Amazon currently dominates online commerce in the US and parts of... |
| The Windows 11 app store is already more useful after just a week Posted: 05 Jul 2021 02:51 AM PDT  Microsoft's dysfunctional app store for Windows, the Microsoft Store, is finally improving under Windows 11. While there's a UI overhaul and some speed improvements, the key change is allowing more apps into the store. In just the past week alone, some popular apps have started to appear in the Microsoft Store on Windows 11, making it more useful than before. OBS Studio, Zoom, Canva, WinZip, and Adobe Acrobat Reader have all made their way to the Microsoft Store in the past week, alongside Microsoft Edge browser extensions. These early additions, during a beta period for Windows 11, are a promising start. The Microsoft Store is changing on Windows 11, and eventually Windows 10, to include any traditional desktop apps. Microsoft... |
