Daily Tech News 21 December 2023

Top Story

Advantage: Japan.

My package from Amazon Japan has arrived.

My package from Amazon US that I ordered earlier has not yet shipped.
NASA has successfully streamed an 8k ultra-high-resolution cat video a distance of 18 million miles from the Psyche space probe back to Earth. (Tom's Hardware)

This is important because Psyche is on a five year mission to find alien catgirls, and we wouldn't want to miss the video.

Tech News

Rite Aid has been banned from using facial recognition systems for five years after getting it wrong. (Tech Crunch)

That? That's not a face. This is a face.

They should be back on line just in time for the catgirls.
The HP Omen Transcend 16 doesn't look terrible. (Hot Hardware)

It has an Intel 13900HX - 8 P cores plus 16 E cores, Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics, up to 96GB of RAM, a 2560x1600 240Hz display, and the ten essential keys (which is to say, a full desktop cursor pad).

Plus two Thunderbolt ports, HDMI, wired Ethernet, regular USB, HDMI, and a headphone jack.

It comes in black or white, and could be worth considering if you want a laptop that can play games but can also pass as a boring business model.

Price varies in the vicinity of $2000, so if it's much more than that, wait for a sale.
