Daily Tech News 3 March 2026

Top Story

Motorola and GrapheneOS have announced a partnership to produce Motorola phones running GrapheneOS. (Liliputing)

Though I'm not sure what else they would announce.

GrapheneOS is a version of Android without Google's proprietary software. It currently only runs on, uh, Google's proprietary hardware, which I'm not sure is entirely helpful.

Having it run on something else as well might be a useful option if you want to steer away from the Apple / Google duopoly for security and privacy reasons but aren't still looking for something officially supported.

Tech News

Microsoft did not ban the word "microslop" from its official Copilot Discord forum and then shut the whole thing down when people kept using the offending term, or, well, they did but they say it was due to spam. (Windows Latest)

Sure, Microsoft. I believe you.
Anthropic got declaude. (Bleeping Computer)

I was doing server stuff today and didn't notice. I do use Claude Code to get boilerplate stuff done quickly, like generating test cases, but I didn't miss it.
The US government is moving to ban memory chips from Chinese companies YTMC, CXMT, and SMIC... From government devices. (WCCFTech)

Which doesn't really change anything for the rest of us.
The Minisforum N1 AI is a combination NAS and desktop PC and is not made by Minisforum. (Notebook Check)

Typo by Notebook Check - the device is made by Morefine.

It has an eight-core Ryzen CPU, four 3.5" bays, three M.2 slots, dual 10Gb Ethernet ports, and an 800W power supply and room for a desktop graphics card.
