Daily Tech News 10 November 2024

Top Story

Beata Halassy had breast cancer - for the third time, despite chemotherapy and a mastectomy.

She had cancer.

She gave it measles and it died. (Nature)

Beata is a virologist so she prepared her own virus culture - a mild strain intended for vaccine production - and had a colleague administer it. She has now been cancer-free for four years.

Naturally she wanted to publish the results of her research - on herself. That's where the real problems started, because scientific journals didn't want to touch it.

On the upside - apart from the whole thing about being alive - she now has funding to repeat this research to try to cure cancer in pets.

Tech News

You can in fact upgrade the storage in your new M4 Mac Mini. (Tom's Hardware)

All you need is a surface-mount soldering and desoldering station, a set of compatible NAND flash chips - which you can find online but will cost you more than simply buying a complete SSD, and a second set of compatible NAND flash chips for when the first ones don't work.

And a second Mac to do a forced update to the first Mac now that its storage is blank.
Google says the enhanced protection feature in Chrome now uses AI. (Bleeping Computer)

I recommend Brave or Vivaldi.
ChatGPT usage now rivals the Chrome browser. (Digital Trends)

No it fucking doesn't you fucking morons. You are comparing actual living human users with the number of individual requests.
Sega is removing 60 classic games from Steam on December 6. (Sega)

And when I say classic, some of these games are older than I am, what with me being 29 and all.

If you already own them, or buy them before December 6, you keep them, but there will be no new sales.
As Firefox turns 20, Mozilla ponders how to restore it to its former glory. (Tech Crunch)

Stop being communists.
Elon Musk increased his net worth by more in a single day following the election than he spent to buy Twitter. (The Register)

Feel good story of the day.

Disclaimer: You thought he was buying a social network in terminal decline. He bought a solar system.
