Daily Tech News 4 April 2022

• Looks like house #3 might be the one. I've mentioned this place a couple of times - it's a modern 4 bedroom design, with a garage the size of a small house underneath and a house the size of two small houses above.
  
  That garage is 23 x 42 feet, not counting a storeroom / workshop area off to one side and a small bathroom on the other. That should suffice. And it has windows on two sides so it's not a complete cave.
  
  
  
• The internet is not what you think it is. (Princeton)
  
  Oh?

  Many think of the internet as an unprecedented and overwhelmingly positive achievement of modern human technology.

  Who?

• Dell's new Inspiron 16 2-in-1 model has a 3840x2400 OLED touchscreen. (Dell)
  
  (That price is Aussie dollars; it's not yet listed on the US site.)
  
  And a 12 core i7-1260P CPU and Nvidia MX550 graphics, which puts its gaming ability at roughly zero.
  
  
  
• Google says that Microsoft is a threat to national security. (NBC)
  
  I mean, yes, but have you guys looked in a mirror lately?
  
  
  
• Facebook has been locking accounts for no reason. (BBC)

  Your Facebook account was disabled because fuck you, that's why. This decision could easily be reversed but we won't because see above.

  Not sure why this is a news item though.
