EDIT: Hey y'all who've already boosted this! Sorry for the ping. 🙃 But I was a silly git and posted this from my personal account, not expecting it to take off like it did. If you'd like to follow my #GameDev efforts and possibly support my work, follow me @ClarusPlusPlus@peoplemaking.games or @HadroSoft. Thanks! 😊

Technology used to be fun and not scary

A few weeks ago, I sent my 1985 Swiss Army Knife back to Victorinox for a broken blade replacement.

It came back today, fully repaired, cleaned, polished, lubricated and in a new box.

Total cost: £10 + return postage.

They sent the knife back with an invoice. I didn't have to pay a penny before the job was done.

A product that's been out of production for almost 40 years, repaired at very little cost by the original manufacturer.

I'm stunned. Happy, impressed, grateful and stunned.

Happy Patch Tuesday to those who celebrate.

lmao. so intel couldn't use their own new fab to do their latest chips, right.

so they went to tsmc. and negotiated a 40% discount somehow. and then told their customers you can't trust tsmc because they're close to china.

mr tsmc was like "what a discourteous fellow" and refused to honour the discount 😂

E-crime groups have realised at scale three things in the past year:

A) orgs aren’t very good at applying patches for defective SSL VPN products

B) security vendors are negligently and knowingly shipping defective SSL VPN products

C) many orgs aren’t mandating MFA for VPN 100% of the time

It’s driving a lot of the incidents going on in the past year.

#China has officially unveiled its new 5th-generation stealth fighter, the J-35A, at the Zhuhai Air Show

Images show a comparison with the US F-35.

The J-35A is a customized copy of the F-35. China hacked a British defence company and stole the F-35 blueprints a number of years ago. This is the result of that.

Amazon has confirmed a data breach impacting employee data.

The confirmation comes after a hacker claimed to leak data from a bunch of major organizations, including Amazon, which they say is linked to last year's MOVEit mass-hacks

I no like e-waste, I no like LLM, but the numbers in the DW article do not look right. As per WHO, 62 million tons of waste were created in 2022; so cumulative 5 million tons by 2030 could not mean "around 1,000 times more e-waste than was produced in 2023".

Interestingly, the paper argues we need to "prolong, reuse, and recycle generative AI hardware", and I think we probably should not have manufactured it in the first place.
