Daily Tech News 15 July 2021
Top Story
- How the Kaseya hack - that led to at least 1500 companies being hit with ransomware - went down.
Short answer: These people are idiots.
- China has been caught hacking hundreds of government systems across Southeast Asia. (Bleeping Computer)
With a particular focus on the Philippines.
Apparently this particular plague spreads via USB devices, just like the good old days with floppy disks.
- In completely unrelated news Microsoft just patched 117 vulnerabilities. (Bleeping Computer)
That does include their server platform and applications, not just Windows, but still.
- Side note: Anyone who thinks I am bigoted against Apple is simply not paying attention. I hate everyone.
Well, sometimes not AMD.
Tech News
- Russia is planning to launch its own RISC-V processor. (Anandtech)
Eight cores, 2GHz, on a 12nm process, due in 2025.
Okay.
- Intel is planning to launch a new 38-core workstation CPU. (Tom's Hardware)
It will cost 15% more than AMD's existing 64-core workstation processor.
- China continues to expand its crypto mining ban, which is good news for everyone. (Tom's Hardware)
EVERYONE.
- Android 12 Beta 3 is available for Google Pixel devices, which you also shouldn't buy. (WCCFTech)
I don't care about this in the slightest, but I will note that my phone recently updated to Android 11 without a single hiccup. If I'm going to be pestered with pointless updates, late and painless is the way to go.
- Twitter's Fleets feature will soon delete itself automatically. (Twitter)
Fleets were designed to make Twitter more attractive to people who don't want to use Twitter in the first place. Instead it was used primarily by people who use Twitter.
Twitter is at a loss to explain this, because the company is run by idiots.
- If you own an older SonicWall security device, patch that shit now. (Bleeping Computer)
Or just unplug it and throw it away, and live without internet access like we did back in the Dark Ages.
Disclaimer: Long answer is... These people are idiots. And I was born with the long paws.
