Very cool #aliexpress #tech #review by #greatscott https://youtube.com/watch?v=1dKLF2Ma8nQ The #fingerprint #scanner was a good surprise!
Looks like #tech giant #supermicro may be about to #die in the coming #recession , with the majority of their #revenue relying on #facebook https://lowendbox.com/blog/supermicro-is.. When the #recession kicks off #facebook will likely cut-back on #server #purchases .
As expected, #elonmusk after finally #buying #twitter will now #fire 75% of the #staff to cut the fat of the #company that is un- #profitable https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chief-.. This is inline with other #tech #companies also #firing people. Apparently he has already #fired the #chiefexecutive , #chieffinancialofficer and other #executives .

Seems like many #us #tech #companies are #reducing these days...#patreon making massive #cuts by #firing 17% of #staff , 80 people: https://blog.patreon.com/a-note-from-jac.. Apparently this is because of a poor #environment , i.e. a #failing #economy . Noteworthy is the #reduced #investment into #security .
Well damn, #compaq have really fallen to a new low: https://www.compaq.com/#licensing They are now a #faceless #meaningless #brand that can be #licensed out to whomever #pays enough. This will be the eventual #demise of all large #tech #companies .
#tech people are really freaking out about #elonmusk #buying #twiter ... https://christine.website/blog/twitter-2.. The joke is, he'll likely actually make it better, Twitter was essentially broke and had to adopt #censorship to stay alive.
Hah, #china 's #ccp is going after their big #tech for their " #abuse " of #algorithms , which are *entirely* in #favour of the #ccp https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/chi.. Essentially they are #complaining that the #algorithms are not #biased *enough* - very interesting take!
Very interesting, a #tech guy who is also an #army #reserve https://chrisseaton.com/army/ Certainly worth considering.
Turns out that #newegg have been #caught #redhanded committing #fraud https://www.windowscentral.com/pc-parts-.. There were caught by #youtube #tech #channel #gamersnexus after they #returned an #unopened #motherboard ... There is an interesting #theory that NewEgg got themselves in further trouble by digging in deeper: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=303.. Hopefully they get #sued for their efforts.
Man these #tech #stickers are #cursed - and I love it! https://github.com/mkrl/misbrands
This appears to be the #bubble in the #tech #industry - ouch: https://old.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestio.. It's great #work for those who can find it though!
I am really concerned with the #approach by #socialmedia and large #tech #companies to introduce #censorship measures... https://timcast.com/news/youtube-bans-al.. #youtube is now #banning anti- #vaccine #videos from their #platform ... Pretty much any #opposition or #freespeech is now being #squashed in the name of #covid and #factcheckers ...
I have a similar story to this #tech guy who refused to support his family's non- #linux #devices http://misc-stuff.terraaeon.com/articles.. A while back I was pleasantly #surprised to see my #family 's #desktop #windows running #libreoffice ! I said "awesome, you are supporting #opensource #software !", to which they replied "I don't know, you installed it on there!" - I had forgotten! But they continued to keep using it, even calling it " #office "!
Another #idea for a #company would be to create some kind of #news company. I have been thinking it could be cool to create something around #tech , #politics , #opensource , etc. It would be difficult to be #unique in an already crowded space, but I believe it could be done.
I've noticed a #trend that many people in #tech tend to be #leftwing or even #farleft https://www.jwz.org/blog/2021/08/please-.. I have no real idea why there are not more #centralists or #rightwing or #farright people in tech. Perhaps the " #controlling " nature of #programming enables some pro- #socialism thinking? I'm not sure, I would need to dedicate some thinking to it.
Some big names on this #openletter to #apple https://appleprivacyletter.com/ I propose there might be another #internalmemo later! I'm glad the #tech #community are taking a #freedom and #privacy issue so seriously, despite the outwards appearance of being for the best interests of everybody.
