Daily Tech News 16 November 2024

Top Story

TSMC has found a second bomb on the construction site for its latest fab. (Tom's Hardware)

There's nothing nefarious afoot, though: The new factory is being built on the former site of a Japanese oil refinery from World War II.

A 1000-pound bomb was found there in August, and a second 500-pound bomb made its unwelcome presence known this week.

Tech News

T-Mobile was hacked by China. (Yahoo Finance)

T-Mobile for its own part says the attack was industry-wide and it was only hacked a little bit, which is not immensely reassuring.
Beelink's SER9 - based on AMD's latest 12-core laptop CPU - gets a full review. (Notebook Check)

Conclusion: It's great and the fastest mini-PC you can buy except for the new 14-core M4 Pro model of the Mac Mini which is wildly expensive.

Problem is, the SER9 is far from cheap itself at $999 with 32GB of soldered RAM and 1TB of SSD. It's around 25% faster than the company's previous SER8 model but twice the price, making it impossible to recommend. And the SER8 lets you upgrade both the memory and storage.
Asus has updated its Flashstor solid-state NAS lineup with AMD processors, 10Gb Ethernet, and USB4. And a huge price increase. (Liliputing)

The 6-slot model increases in price from $449 to $999, while the 12-slot model jumps from $899 to $1299.

I don't think so, Asus.
Microsoft's latest Windows update fixes 89 security flaws. (Bleeping Computer)

Thanks, I guess.
