A Google spokesperson.
|
A Google spokesperson responded to Engadget,
|
clarifying that if websites block the bot,
|
they will still show up in standard search results,
|
but they won't be included in other search features like Snippet and Google discover.
|
That's really nice of Google to only abuse their monopoly on search engines a little bit.
|
The Department of Justice is currently mulling whether to break up Google,
|
or to force it to share data with competitors after the tech giant lost its big search antitrust case.
|
But I hope the DOJ considers how good Google behaves sometimes.
|
They just added better source citations to AI overviews,
|
so you can find exactly where it got the idea that the force
|
is real and you're just not trying hard enough.
|
Squeeze, Try squeezing.
|
Oh, the quick bits.
|
Oh yeah.
|
Coming right up, Jacob.
|
Are you ready for this?
|
Let's go.
|
ARM is working on a GPU that will compete with Nvidia and Intel
|
according to sources who spoke to Israeli business outlet Globes.
|
Of course, Arm already makes GPUs that compete with those companies in their Snapdragon X Windows laptops.
|
They just compete badly.
|
Up to a hundred engineers are reportedly working on this new GPU,
|
which sounds like it'll either be a discrete gaming GPU or an AI accelerator,
|
which is just a graphics card used solely to make the internet worse.
|
About a week after confirming that they'll let you install SteamOS, on Windows handhelds,
|
Valve has released official drivers for Steam Deck
|
to allow owners to install and run Windows if they want to.
|
Maybe you want to run unsupported games or emulators,
|
or maybe you just like to suffer.
|
Either way, Valve has you covered.
|
Now, having said that, the drivers aren't perfect.
|
For example, the Windows audio drivers don't support the Steam Deck's speakers yet
|
just headphones and Bluetooth audio.
|
So I can play Fortnite on my Steam Deck
|
and I won't be able to hear any of the eight-year-olds that don't know how to mute their mic?
|
Sign me up.
|
Did they say mean things to you, Jacob?
|
An ISP in the US is petitioning the Supreme Court
|
to overturn a ruling that would require them to disconnect customers accused of piracy.
|
It's a very serious issue being championed by a company with a very silly name, Cox Communications.
|
As the ruling currently stands,
|
Americans could be cut off from the internet just because they, or someone whom they share a network with,
|
received a couple of unproven accusations of copyright infringement.
|
I think it's unbelievable that a US court made
|
a decision so bad that an internet service provider is accidentally taking a pro-consumer stance.
|
What is this?
|
What's happening?
|
A team of researchers has published a paper
|
suggesting that bikes could be hacked.
|
Specifically, professional-grade bikes that have wireless gear-shifting systems,
|
such as those made by Shimano.
|
Is that okay?
|
Scientists found that the signals put out by these
|
bikes were interceptable from up to 10 yards away,
|
allowing hackers to shift a victim's gears
|
or even jam gear-shifting on a specific bike.
|
Fortunately, Shimano has already patched the vulnerabilities,
|
which is unfortunate for those of us who thought the Tour de France might finally become exciting.
|
And an international group of researchers have proposed improvements to modern telecommunications systems.
|
All we have to do is start using electromagnetic vortex cannons,
|
which I thought was kind of obvious, but thanks.
|
The cannons in question create toroidal vortexes, like a smoke ring,
|
but made out of rotating electromagnetic waves instead of dank vape clouds.
|
The vortexes can carry more information than traditional electromagnetic wave structures,
|
are more resilient to environmental disturbances,
|
meaning they could be used to send data over long distances.
|
But the main thing,
|
and I can't stress this enough,
|
they're called electromagnetic vortex cannons.
|
What, we're just not gonna use them?
|
Hey, why don't you hop on a vortex cannon
|
and surf some electromagnetic waves back over here on Monday?
|
There's gonna be tech news,
|
and I could show you this trick where I blow a smoke ring and then blow a smoke pirate ship through it.
|
I've never done it before,
|
but I've got a good feeling about Monday.
|
Well, well, well.
|
Look what the cat dragged in.
|
I'm just kidding.
|
It's great to see you.
|
Also, that's a weird insult.
|
Microsoft has apparently patched a popular loophole
|
that allowed users to install Windows 11 on PCs
|
that don't meet the outlandish hardware requirements.
|
Why convince people to download your OS
|
when you can just make it harder to upgrade
|
for those who actually want to?
|
This particular trick allowed anyone to bypass
|
the TPM 2.0 chip requirement of Windows 11
|
by tricking the OS's setup file into thinking your machine was a server.
|
Not a host.
|
That's another computer and restaurant word.
|
Unfortunately, Twitter user TheBobPony
|
discovered that the most recent insider build of Windows now
|
also requires servers to have TPM 2.0 support.
|
This isn't the case in normal Windows yet,
|
but chances are they'll be rolling out an update soon.
|
And that could leave you with a non-functional system
|
if you use this workaround to install Windows 11.
