- Why are Gigabyte's Aorus models so much cheaper than their Aero models?
- The Framework Laptop 13 is good. (The Verge)
The 2023 Intel model is shipping and it delivers better performance and better battery life than the 2022 model. I'm still waiting for the AMD version which should deliver better performance, better battery life, and better graphics.
- The .zip domain is kind of shit. (Bleeping Computer)
Here's the problem:
1. Someone sends you an email telling you to download payroll.zip from the company website and open it.
2. Gmail sees that as a URL and automatically turns it into a link.
3. You click on the link and it downloads a zip file.
4. You open the zip file and your computer melts, because it actually got it from the malicious payroll.zip website.
Two innocuous ideas put together equals one disaster.
- Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, appeared before a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee to ask the government to regulate his competitors out of existence. (Axios)
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) called it "historic" that a company was coming to Congress pleading for regulation. Oh, do get fucked, Senator. It's been happening at least as long as there was a Senate, back to ancient Rome.
- Australia isn't a real country anyway: The Australian government has asked Twitter how it plans to stifle free speech when the Stifling Team has all been fired. (The Register)
Twitter allegedly said, Australia who?
- Zoom plans to implement Anthropic's chatbot, Claude, to make meetings even more insufferable. (The Verge)
Could we not?
Disclaimer: I mean, it seems like it would all be much simpler if we would just... Not.
