Daily Tech News 1 October 2024

Top Story


Tech News

  • AMD has increased the performance of the Ryzen 9600X and 9700X models by increasing the TDP. (Tom's Hardware)

    These currently run at 65W by default, but with a new BIOS update will be configurable to run at 105W, with the 60% extra power giving that 10% extra performance.

    You could do the same thing with overclocking, of course, so the only real change is that this is fully supported under warranty.


  • AMD has also released two small language models. (Tom's Hardware)

    These are just like large language models, only small. With 135 million tokens, they will run on any functioning graphics card; you don't need an RTX 4090.


  • Star Wars Outlaws has sold a million copies. (WCCFTech)

    For a major game release, that's not good. Dwarf Fortress has sold a million copies, but that has two developers, not hundreds.

    Ubisoft needs to sell at least four million copies of this game to break even on the development costs, never mind the licensing costs. That won't happen.

    Their next big title, Assassin's Creed Shadows, is looking to be an even bigger failure. The company's shareholders are rioting.


  • Google has won a lawsuit against scammers who filed false DMCA takedown requests to remove their competitors from the search index. (TorrentFreak)

    Filing a false DMCA request is perjury, which is a felony, but I'm not aware of anyone ever being charged with that crime in such a case.

    Here Google was awarded a default judgement because the scammers never responded.


  • Epic Games is suing Google, again, and also Samsung. (The Verge)

    Epic Games got a court order forcing Google to allow third-party app stores on Android devices.

    So Google and Samsung collaborated to introduce new security features that effectively prevent users from installing unauthorised applications, while not providing any means for applications to become authorised.

    Again, I don't like Epic, but Google and Samsung need to be smacked down hard here.


Not At All Tech News



Hololive's Amelia Watson, who left the group today (mostly) as drawn by also Hololive's Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame. (Yes, the names sometimes get a little melodramatic.)

The flower represents the 20 members of Hololive's English branch - the colours and patterns match each of the talents' costumes.


Not At All Tech News Video of the Day



I was watching this stream earlier on but had to switch because one of Ame's final streams was airing at the same time. So I missed this pure Pippa moment.

No, I have no idea.
