Daily Tech News 20 September 2021

Top Story

Some accidental clarity regarding that idiotic story about gunshot victims being turned away from hospitals in rural ~~Ohio~~ Oklahoma because the ICU beds were full of ivermectin overdosers: In the past six weeks in Oregon, the number of such patients admitted to the ICU is... Two. (OHSU)

Which isn't a lot, but it's odd that it happened twice.

A commenter on Slashdot points out that in the US last year, 951 people died in lawnmower accidents.

Tech News

Xata is a serverless database for serverless apps. (Xata.io)

Serverless is one more step of wishful thinking beyond cloud. There's no serverless, there's just someone else's servers and you have no control over what happens on them.
People said I was mad to embed SMB in the kernel, but I embedded it all the same. It sank into the swamp. (Phoronix)

It has - surprising no-one - a security vulnerability. Involving .. which is the first thing you check when handling a file path on Unix-like systems.

And the patch to fix that has a buffer overflow bug.
You can no longer run Windows 11 in VirtualBox. (Bleeping Computer)

Funny thing, I was checking my desktop system for that AMD chipset driver bug yesterday, and I noticed that it has TPM 2.0, the critical requirement for running Windows 11.

I still can't run Windows 11 because it doesn't support my CPU either.
The Surface Pro 8 may or may not have leaked. (Thurrott.com)

It will be announced in two days so the chance of accurate leaks right now is high, but there's limited information of dubious provenance, so taking this with a bucket of salt for now.

Disclaimer: Of all the salt mines, in all the deserts, in all the world, she falls into mine.
