Daily Tech News 10 August 2022

Quick one today.

Nvidia looks to have tamed the power consumption of the upcoming RTX 4000 cards. (Tom's Hardware)

The RTX 4080 is now expected to use 320W rather than 450W. This probably comes with something like a 10% reduction in performance, because that power consumption goes up exponentially as you push any chip to its limits.
AppLovin (who) has offered $17.5 billion for game development framework Unity. (Axios)

Unity would be stupid not to take it in this market.

In an all-stock deal.

Never mind.
10 Python packages on PyPI have been found stealing developer credentials. (Bleeping Computer)
Twilio has disclosed a data breach following a phishing attack on employees. (Bleeping Computer)
Cloudflare was hit by the same phishing attack. (Bleeping Computer)

This one apparently failed because Cloudflare uses company-wide hardware 2FA.
Intel's SGX security module has been breached. (Ars Technica)

Again.
