Daily Tech News 23 May 2025

Top Story

Nvidia hates you and doesn't care if you know it. (The Verge) (archive site)

They are lying to you, and also don't care if you know it.

They still want your money, but they get enough of that from the AI slop industry so they don't care all that much.

But what they really hate is reviewers telling the truth, because if you know the truth you might not hand over your money.

Tech News

Do you need a 976TB direct-attach storage array? Got $130,000 to drop on it? HighPoint has you covered. (Tom's Hardware)

Though to be fair, the standalone 8-bay NVMe storage array costs $1799. The other $128,201 is for the eight 122TB SSDs.
AI can't replace programmers. (NMN)

The companies replacing programmers with AI aren't.

They're just running stealth layoff programs.
Mozilla is killing Pocket and Fakespot. (Thurrott.com)

And Mozilla.
Destructive malware in NPM went unnoticed for two years. (Ars Technica)

It's called NPM.
The HackberryPiCM5 is a Blackberry-like device built around a Raspberry Pi compute module. (Liliputing)

It's fairly chunky by modern standards at 0.7" thick, and at the moment you'll have to build it yourself because the completed models are out of stock.

But you can build it yourself.

Maybe.
What are Jony Ive and Sam Altman building? (The Verge) (archive site)

Looking at the wreckage of the AI device market, they're building failure.

Musical Interlude

This is the intro music for new Phase Connect vtuber Clio Aite - that is, she's new to Phase Connect; she's been a vtuber for years. She's an Australian (well, Irish-British-Australian but an Aussie citizen) history professor with a fanatical devotion to 4X strategy games and an endurance to match.

Disclaimer: Pippa, we can't just hire everybody you know! Not all at once, anyway.
