|
Geez.
|
Allegedly, Cochava doesn't just collect information about what apps an individual uses,
|
but also what they do while inside them and how much money they spend.
|
You know, an easy rule of thumb of whether a product is dangerously invasive is asking yourself,
|
could a domestic abuser use this to find their estranged spouse simply by typing
|
pregnant female, Caucasian, Houston, candy crush,
|
green party into a search bar?
|
Maybe?
|
MyQ, best known for their smart garage door openers,
|
has apparently spent the last several months
|
repeatedly blocking unauthorized third-party smart home apps from access to their devices.
|
That might make sense,
|
but MyQ currently has very few authorized software partners
|
because they require partners to pay them for the right to interact with their devices.
|
Home Assistant recently announced that they will be deactivating their MyQ integration
|
since it isn't working anymore and because,
|
as an open-source project,
|
paying MyQ's fee simply isn't sustainable.
|
You know, like when you don't have money and everyone wants to go to McDonald's?
|
This has left MyQ customers in a situation
|
where the apps they use to manage all their other smart devices
|
simply can't interact with their garage doors.
|
You might wonder why a garage door opener company
|
would be trying to interfere with its customers' ability to open their garages.
|
But MyQ is probably trying to force customers to use its official app,
|
probably called Reddit,
|
which since October has been serving obnoxious ads that interfere with the functioning of the app.
|
Oh, it is Reddit.
|
Sometimes even pushing the open garage button off the screen.
|
While the iOS version of the app is still at 4.8 stars,
|
its Android counterpart recently dropped to 3.9
|
due to all of those selfish customers
|
who think they shouldn't get ads on an app for a product they already paid for.
|
Like, what's your problem?
|
What, do you think that when you go to the restaurant,
|
you should just get food when you pay for it?
|
Like, bringing it back to McDonald's.

Quick Bits move at near relativistic speeds and thus experience significant time distortion.

Did y'all know Kim and Kanye got divorced?
|
To the surprise of several Apple users,
|
when they received their brand new 14-inch M3 MacBook Pros,
|
the devices came installed not with a standard up-to-date operating system,
|
but with an unreleased build of macOS Ventura 13.5
|
from back in July that couldn't be updated.
|
Apple has already released an update addressing the issue,
|
but this would seem to indicate that Apple's been stockpiling devices with M3 chips for the last four months.
|
Apple usually creates these separate incompatible versions of its OS
|
in order to keep potential leaks out of public betas,
|
but it's not clear how it wound up getting sent to consumers.
|
My theory?
|
Snake, you've created a time paradox!
|
Who's Pete Davidson?
|
You mean Skeet Davidson?
|
I heard he's dating Kim!
|
According to reliable leaker and my best friend,
|
Copite7Kimmy, please don't say that's not true,
|
expensive GPU lovers should expect Nvidia
|
to launch the RTX 40 Super Series
|
during the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show in January.
|
That would make sense considering that Nvidia reportedly
|
won't be releasing the RTX 50 Series until at least 2025,
|
and they tend to pair their gaming launches alongside big industry events.
|
Fellow leaker, MegasizeGPU, has also revealed images
|
of Nvidia's retail branding inserts for the series,
|
and apparently Nvidia has changed the stylized typeface
|
of the old Super logo with the same boring sans-serif font it uses for literally everything else.
|
Why can't at least the word Super be Super?
|
Only the prices, I guess.
|
The driving app Waze has launched a new safety feature
|
called Crash History Alerts.
|
Basically, using AI and reports from the app's community,
|
Waze will alert drivers if the road they're about to turn onto is prone to accidents.
|
However, the notifications are light on detail
|
so as not to distract drivers.
|
They won't tell you if the crashes are major versus minor,
|
or if they involved cars, pedestrians, and or cyclists.
|
Hypothetically,
|
you won't know if there's been a daily crash at an intersection for the last year,
|
or if a single car knocked over an entire bike race.
|
I said I'm sorry, okay?
|
I can still hear the squeals of all those men's Lycra rubbing together.
|
A team of researchers from the Universities of California and Sydney
|
have developed an artificial brain from a network of randomly arranged silver nanowires.
|
Dr. Frankenstein et al.
|
It's alive and strangely antibacterial.
|
Its structure pattern changes predictably with electrical stimulus
|
and can maintain that pattern when the stimulus is removed,
|
meaning the network can learn dynamically and more efficiently than traditional AI training
|
all in real time.
|
In the near future, these silver networks could become more popular than GPUs,
|
and maybe even grills.
|
What, you've got silver on your teeth?
|
I've got it in my brain, bro.
|
And a software engineer used an AI-powered service to apply for 5,000 jobs,

leading your mother to ask,
|
what's your excuse?
