Daily Tech News 8 December 2022

Top Story

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether Sam Bankman-Fried manipulated the market for the Terra and Luna stablecoins, leading to their collapse. (New York Times)

Which would be just mildly ironic, because that in turn burst the bubble that was propping up the mad web of fraud and delusion that was FTX, Alameda Research, and their 130 subsidiaries and spinoffs.

Tech News

Nvidia is set to release the 4070 Ti (which used to be called the 4080 12GB Edition) at an MSRP of $899 (which used to be the price of the 4080 12GB Edition). (WCCFTech)

Yes, they changed the name. That's it.
Apple has finally abandoned its plans to scan photos on your phone and have an AI with all the common sense of a deer watching the approach of an 18 wheeler report you to the feds and have your children abducted if it sees a photo of your toddler in the bath. (Wired)

Not exaggerating, that's happened.
Instead they're supporting end-to-end encrypted backups. (Apple)

Finally.
The reason they didn't do that sooner? Also the feds. (Cryptography Engineering)

Glowies ruin everything.
Why does JSON.parse corrupt large numbers? (JSON Editor Online)

Because JavaScript is still trash.
Lenovo has announced its new small tablet - the Tab M8 Gen 4. (Liliputing)

It's actually worse than the Gen 3, which was in turn worse than the FHD model I have that won't charge anymore.

Disclaimer: Just restart everything every six hours. That will fix it.
