Daily Tech News 29 November 2024

Top Story

The price of tea beans is set to hit record highs after it (checks note) rained in Brazil. (Semafor)

This apparently is an unusual event that nobody was prepared for.

Tech News

Need a faster network connection on your Thunderbolt / USB4 equipped laptop or mini-PC? The RaidenDigit LightONE might be what you need. (Serve the Home)

It is a general-purpose dock, with four USB-C ports (plus a fifth one purely for power), four USB-A ports, full-size and micro SD card slots, and a DisplayPort port. Where it stands out is that it also offers two 25Gbit Ethernet ports.

Yes, they're SFP, but while 25Gbase-T is a recognised standard using Cat-8 cables, there are approximately zero devices supporting it, so I can't really fault the designers there.

Only problem is that if you don't already have one of these you apparently can't get one. There was a Kickstarter, they delivered, the product worked, and then they disappeared.
Microsoft is not using your Word and Excel data to train AI. (Bleeping Computer)

Okay.
Australia has passed a law to ban children from social media. (The Register)

The government was repeatedly asked how this was supposed to work, and it had no idea. The legislation nonetheless passed with bipartisan support, because our nominal opposition party is as useless as our nominal government.

Disclaimer: You said the highest difficulty level was 4. You lied.
