Daily Tech News 9 November 2024

Top Story

The PlayStation 5 Pro is here and it's eh. (WCCFTech)

While it is technically a significant upgrade over the base PlayStation 5, with a nearly 50% upgrade to the graphics performance, it still plays PlayStation 5 games, so mostly it doesn't matter.
Scalpers who snapped up the first shipment are struggling to unload it even below retail price. (TechSpot)

Tragic.

Tech News

Crucial's 4TB T500 SSD is out and it's fine. (Tom's Hardware)

By which I mean it's reasonably priced and one of the fastest drives around, but does have some performance hiccups under extremely heavy sustained write loads. So not the best choice for enterprise database servers, but it doesn't claim to be.
Apple's new M4 Mac Mini has modular storage. (MacRumors)

It's a little card like an M.2 2230 SSD from a laptop.

Does that mean you can upgrade it?

No. Don't be silly.
The CEO of Sony's PlayStation division says that maybe the company should show upcoming games to gamers before it spends $400 million developing them. (WCCFTech)

What a concept.
MacOS runs apps inside a sandbox for added security. Does it add security? No. (GitHub)

Oops.
DNA shows Pompeii's dead weren't who we thought there were. (Ars Technica)

They had - get this - a mix of European and Eastern Mediterranean genes.

In other words, they were Roman.
Slate is horrified to learn that tech billionaires care about money. (Slate) (archive site)

I am horrified and somewhat bemused to learn that Slate has not yet gone bankrupt.

What Does the Election Mean for Twitch Streamers Video of the Day

Asmongold is no dummy. He doesn't always agree with Trump, but he recognises a gravy train when it presents itself.
