Daily Tech News 24 June 2026

Top Story

It was Prime Day again. Here are the deals you missed. (Tom's Hardware)

There was a reasonable price for the 4TB Samsung 9100 Pro SSD, but not on Amazon and the deal is over and they're out of stock.
For me, the deal of the day was on the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3, cut from A$1000 to A$500. Also not on Amazon, but I scooped one up from local electronics chain JB Hifi.*

They also had the new Gen 5 model (the Gen 4 was a China exclusive), listed at A$1500. It's about 20% faster than the Gen 3 and has a 20% higher resolution screen, which is not enough to convince me to spend 200% more. Particularly since neither of those are issues with the Gen 3 anyway.

* Long time readers may recall that I bought one of these on sale last year. Yes. And now I will have two.

Tech News

The coming loop. (Pocoo)

This is a reaction to yesterday's article on AI becoming loopy, and points out that just because something may be inevitable doesn't necessarily make it a good idea.
F3 is a file format for the future. (GitHub)

For the future of what?

Shut up.
Anthropic's Mythos AI tool has discovered a memory leak in Squid. (The Register)

First, who still uses Squid? Second, who still uses Mythos? Anthropic blocked all access to it.
Elon Musk's nefarious plan to deliver fast, affordable internet access to literally the entire planet. (The Verge)

The Verge seems to be Big Mad that Starlink is delivering on its promises rather than stealing tens of billions in taxpayer funds.
Not FSD but CDH. (Notebook Check)

The latest Tesla crash claimed to be an issue with automated self-driving mode again turns out to be driver error - FSD was disengaged and the accelerator was at 100% when the vehicle left the road and crashed into a house at 73 mph.
Meta has launched a line of ugly clunky smart glasses that are $80 cheaper and don't carry the Ray-Ban log. (The Verge)

Okay. Honestly I think these are pretty useful, even if jerks are determined to spoil everything for the rest of us.

Musical Interlude

Disclaimer: Before anyone asks, "Pixy, are you deliberately choosing second songs from one-hit wonders?", the answer is, well, I'm not not doing that.
