Daily Tech News 9 December 2024

Top Story

The House of Representatives is voting on another $3 billion to reimburse telephone network carriers with equipment from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE that turned out, much to everyone's surprise, to have been made in China. (Tom's Hardware)

This is on top of the $2 billion already allocated to replacing the shockingly Chinese devices.
Chinese hackers have meanwhile reportedly hacked "all phone companies everywhere" according to the FBI and CISA. (Politico)

The trove of data included in the latest, wide-ranging attacks include FISA court applications which are allegedly secret.

Tech News

With the FBI now recommending everyone use messaging apps with end-to-end encryption, we turn to Google Messages which doesn't. (Daring Fireball)

Well, it does sometimes. It doesn't other times. And it doesn't tell you any of the time.
The Sandisk 1.5TB microSD card is too small. (Serve the Home)

They lost it during the review.

Twice.
A Bitcoin miner has purchased a 112MW wind farm in Texas and plans to take it off the grid and use it for mining. (Chron_

Which means that when that wind is not blowing in that particular part of the world, those particular Bitcoin mining machines will quietly switch off.

Which is actually a perfectly fine and sensible approach. So someone is probalby extremely upset about this.
Microsoft plans to release Surface Pro laptops based on Intel's Lunar Lake CPUs. (Tom's Hardware)

Okay.
Specialist chipmaker Marvell is now worth more than Intel. (WSJ) (archive site)

Though pretty much everyone is worth more than Intel at the moment. Nvidia and AMD, yes, but also Qualcomm and Broadcom and Texas Instruments and now Marvell.

Intel has a lot of revenue but investors are not seeing a lot of upside.
