*EPSTEIN HAD THE SEC SUE RIPPLE/XRP - HOLY SH*T | Gensler Worked For Epstien* - [briefly]
04:23 PM EST - Feb,02 2026 - post a comment

The YouTube video from The Bearable Bull claims Jeffrey Epstein had connections to Bitcoin's creation and influenced the SEC (via Gary Gensler) to sue Ripple/XRP as a way to suppress competition and protect Bitcoin's dominance. It argues Bitcoin ultimately failed as a practical currency and was rebranded as "digital gold," while XRP's technology excels for cross-border payments and real-world asset tokenization. The host predicts XRP is poised to flip Bitcoin in value, front-run the next altcoin season, and reach new all-time highs due to institutional adoption, ETF momentum, and capital rotating from traditional assets into crypto.

China's new RAM company, CXMT, is selling RAM at $138 - [hardware]
05:39 PM EST - Feb,01 2026 - post a comment

CXMT Defies US Sanctions with High-Speed DDR5 and LPDDR5X Memory DebutChina's ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), a DRAM manufacturer facing stringent US export restrictions, has unveiled its latest DDR5-8000 and LPDDR5X-10667 memory products at the 22nd China International Semiconductor Expo on November 23, 2025. The DDR5 chips operate at 8,000 MT/s with capacities of 16 Gb (2 GB) and 24 Gb (3 GB), supporting various module types including UDIMM, SODIMM, and RDIMM for PCs and servers. Meanwhile, the LPDDR5X reaches 10,667 MT/s and offers packaging options in 12 GB, 16 GB, and 24 GB for mobile devices. These advancements demonstrate CXMT's progress toward semiconductor self-sufficiency, despite being on the US Entity List since 2020, which limits access to advanced fabrication tools. Experts note that while the speeds rival those from Samsung and SK Hynix, CXMT likely relies on older process nodes above 18nm, raising questions about high-volume production feasibility. CXMT has already entered mass production for lower-speed LPDDR5X variants at 8,533 Mbps and 9,600 Mbps earlier in 2025, with the 10,667 Mbps version now available for sampling. This move could expand global DRAM supply and reduce China's reliance on foreign suppliers amid ongoing trade tensions. Industry observers suggest the products are initially targeted at the domestic market, potentially challenging international giants in consumer and AI applications. The announcement highlights Beijing's push for indigenous tech development, even as US sanctions aim to curb advancements in critical sectors.

Windows keeps a permanent record of every USB device you've ever plugged in even after it's removed. - [security]
09:24 AM EST - Feb,01 2026 - post a comment

Many people believe plugging in a USB drive leaves no trace once it's removed. In reality, Windows treats removable devices like permanent guests. Every USB storage device ever connected is recorded in the registry, along with its manufacturer, product name, serial number, and the last time it was seen. This makes USB activity one of the easiest insider threats to investigate during forensic analysis.

The demonstration, featuring command-line registry queries, shows a SanDisk Ultra drive's history persisting in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR key long after removal.

NVIDIA Releases GeForce Security Update Driver 582.28 for Legacy GPUs - [security]
09:13 AM EST - Jan,31 2026 - post a comment

NVIDIA has issued a critical security update addressing multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in its GPU Display Driver, vGPU software, and HD Audio components. That could enable attackers to execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges on affected systems. The vulnerabilities, disclosed on January 28, 2026, impact Windows and Linux platforms across GeForce, RTX, Quadro, NVS, and Tesla product lines.

No gaming or general bug fixes are listed beyond the security updates. That said, NVIDIA does note a couple of known issues, including slight text distortion in Counter-Strike 2 when running below native resolution, and occasional light flickering in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on certain system configurations. As mentioned, this driver is intended for users still running older GeForce graphic cards, and NVIDIA recommends installing it to avoid potential security risks.

AMD 'Zen 6' CCD Packs 12 Cores, 48 MB L3 Cache - [hardware]
09:12 AM EST - Jan,31 2026 - post a comment

The standard CPU complex die (CCD) chiplet based on AMD's next-generation 'Zen 6' microarchitecture is poised to feature a 50% increase in CPU core counts. This would be the first time that AMD has increased core-counts of its CCDs containing full-sized CPU cores capable of sustaining high clock speeds. It had developed CCDs with high core counts using compacted cores with lower clock speed limits until now. The standard 'Zen 6' CCD is expected to come with a similar die-size to the current 'Zen 5' CCD, with a rumored die size of 76 mm2, which is slightly larger than the 71 mm2 of the 'Zen 5' CCD.

The "Zen 6" CCD is expected to pack 12 CPU cores, all part of a single CPU core complex (CCX). All twelve cores share a 48 MB L3 cache. Both the CPU core counts and L3 cache size hence see a 50% increase over "Zen 5." AMD is building the "Zen 6" CCD on TSMC N2 (2 nm nanosheet) process node, which evidently offers a massive increase in transistor densities over the current TSMC N4P (4 nm FinFET) on which the 'Zen 5' CCD is made. With an eye on Intel's pivot towards a cache rebalancing in favor of large last-level caches on some of its premium Core Ultra 400 "Nova Lake-S" desktop processors, AMD is expected to give the 'Zen 6' CCD full 3D V-Cache capability, and the company's next X3D processors could come with L3 caches of 144 MB per CCD for up to 288 MB of L3 cache on the desktop AM5 socket.

Microsoft Set to Disable Legacy NTLM Authentication by Default in Upcoming Windows Releases - [security]
09:10 AM EST - Jan,31 2026 - post a comment

Microsoft is advancing Windows security by phasing out outdated authentication methods like NTLM, which is vulnerable to attacks such as pass-the-hash and relay exploits. Starting with Windows 11 version 24H2 and Windows Server 2025, Microsoft has introduced enhanced auditing for NTLM usage and options to block NTLM in SMB connections. In the second half of 2026, further restrictions will make NTLM disabled by default in more scenarios, pushing organizations toward stronger Kerberos authentication. These changes aim to reduce risks from legacy protocols that cybercriminals often exploit. IT admins must prepare now to avoid disruptions in file sharing, applications, or services that still rely on NTLM. Microsoft recommends deploying enhanced NTLM auditing immediately to map where it's used in the environment. Admins should also identify dependencies, test Kerberos compatibility, and update configurations or apps as needed. Preparation steps include reviewing Microsoft's guidance on disabling NTLM and enabling related security features. This shift is part of Microsoft's broader Secure Future Initiative to harden Windows against modern threats. Proactive steps will ensure smoother transitions when stricter defaults arrive.

iOS 26.3-Important New iPhone Location Privacy Feature Coming Soon - [security]
02:28 AM EST - Jan,30 2026 - post a comment

Apple is set to release iOS 26.3 in February 2026, introducing a significant new privacy feature called "Limit Precise Location" for compatible iPhones. This setting allows users to restrict the precision of location data shared with cellular networks, which typically determine a device's position based on connected cell towers. With the feature enabled, carriers may only access approximate locations, such as a neighborhood, rather than precise details like a street address. Apple emphasizes that the change does not affect signal quality, overall user experience, or the accurate location data shared with emergency responders during calls. It also has no impact on app-based location sharing, including services like Find My. The feature is initially available only on devices with Apple's own C1 or C1X modems, such as the iPhone Air, iPhone 16e, and certain cellular iPad Pro models with M5 chips. Supported carriers at launch include Boost Mobile in the U.S., EE and BT in the U.K., Telekom in Germany, and AIS and True in Thailand. Users can toggle it on via Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > [select line] > Limit Precise Location. This enhancement builds on Apple's ongoing efforts to give users greater control over their privacy in iOS. The update is expected to roll out broadly soon, though wider carrier support may take time.

US Version of TikTok off to Bumpy Start; Competitors Surge - [internet]
04:02 PM EST - Jan,28 2026 - post a comment

The US version of the TikTok app is now officially controlled by a US-based joint venture instead of Chinese company ByteDance. This completes a long-delayed deal that was required by a US law passed in 2024. Users must agree to new legal terms to continue using the app, and those terms allow TikTok to collect and use more personal data than before, including precise location data. The service has also seen an uptick in glitches and errors, although TikTok blames a power outage at a data center. The deal brings US control over the service amid concerns of Chinese influence. However, some users have complained of being unable to upload anti-ICE content, sparking accusations of new censorship. The company denies this, saying the glitches are random. TikTok's new owners include Oracle, whose founder Larry Ellison is a major supporter of President Trump. Two alternative services have surged in popularity in recent days: Skylight is an open-source app built on the same AT protocol as BlueSky. Meanwhile, UpScrolled is an indie app alternative from an Australian developer.

Google Chrome no longer needs you, as Gemini takes the driving seat - [briefly]
(mark) - 04:00 PM EST - Jan,28 2026 - post a comment

For starters, there is a new side panel experience in Chrome so that they can use Gemini without constantly needing to switch between different contexts. In related news, Nano Banana is being made available directly in Chrome, also accessible through the side panel so that images can be generated and transformed using natural language prompts.

Gemini also supports Connected Apps like Gmail, Calendar, YouTube, Maps, Google Shopping and Google Flights in Chrome. You can leverage these integrations if you enable them through the Connected Apps section of Gemini Settings.

But perhaps more important are the enhancements being made in Chrome itself. Personal Intelligence powered by Gemini is coming to Chrome on macOS, Windows, and Chromebook Plus to give you a more personalized, "proactive" experience in the browser. Through this technology, Chrome will remember context from past conversations so that it can give you more personalized answers tailored to your needs.

Finally, Chrome is becoming an agentic browser through "Chrome auto browse", which handles multi-step workflows on your behalf. This includes researching hotels and making hospitality and flight reservations, scheduling appointments, filing tax reports, and assisting in renewing driver licenses. What's even more interesting is that if you give permission Chrome to auto browse, it will even leverage your authentication credentials where sign-in is required. Chrome auto browse for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S.

Of course, some people will naturally have privacy concerns around this implementation

Premium Subscriptions Coming to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp - [internet]
06:54 PM EST - Jan,27 2026 - post a comment

Meta is preparing to test premium subscription tiers for its flagship apps-Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp-with rollouts starting in select markets in the coming months, according to reports from January 2026. These paid plans will unlock exclusive features such as advanced AI tools (including integration of the recently acquired Manus AI agent), enhanced creative controls on Instagram like unlimited audience lists and anonymous Story viewing, productivity boosts on Facebook, and expanded capabilities on WhatsApp, while core app experiences remain free.

The move aims to generate recurring revenue to offset heavy AI investments and compete with rivals like OpenAI, separate from the existing Meta Verified program for creators. Pricing is anticipated to range from $5-10 per month, with final details to be refined based on user feedback during testing. While Meta highlights improved user control and privacy options, some concerns persist regarding potential paywalls for power-user features and broader antitrust implications.

Iridium Begins Testing its own Satellite Service for Phones - [mobile]
05:00 AM EST - Jan,22 2026 - post a comment

Iridium has successfully tested its new "Iridium NTN Direct" service, which will provide global direct-to-device (D2D) satellite service - including two-way messaging - for cell phones, among other devices. Iridium's service operates similarly to those currently offered for Apple, Google, and some Samsung phones, in that it requires specific support built into the phone. Iridium's service is fully standards-based, implementing the NB-IoT protocol defined by the 3GPP. Iridium's service will be the only such service to operate fully globally, including polar regions. Iridium originally partnered with Qualcomm< for its Snapdragon Satellite service, but pivoted to a standards-based service when that failed to gain traction. Iridium's pivot to 5G standards is made possible by its advanced "software-defined satellites", which allowed this new capability to be added to its existing satellites via software update. Iridium will continue to test the service with partners, aiming to launch the service commercially before the end of 2026.

New with the MC03, core apps like email, calendar, and cloud storage are provided by Proton. AphyOS continues to require a $10/month subscription for full functionality, which Punkt explains as replacing the money that other phone OSes make from selling your data. A one-year subscription is included. Discounts are available for purchasing several years in advance. The Punkt MC03 will be available in North America this spring for $699.

Clicks Launches New Ways to Add a Physical Keyboard to Your Life - [mobile]
09:15 AM EST - Jan,05 2026 - post a comment

Clicks - the company previously known for its keyboard cases - has announced two entirely new types of products: The Clicks Power Keyboard is a magnetic wireless charging power bank that snaps to the back of your phone but also has a slide-out physical QWERTY keyboard. Attached to a phone, it can be used in portrait or landscape orientation, and has multiple slide positions for phones of different sizes. It works with both iPhones and Android phones. It can also be used by itself as a small Bluetooth keyboard for a tablet, TV, or VR headset. Its battery is rated 2,150 mAh. The Clicks Communicator is a full-on Android 16 smartphone that can be used as a primary phone, or as a companion device to a traditional smartphone. It's designed to discourage "doom-scrolling" by having a smaller, 4.03-inch display. It has a notification light on the side that can light up in different colors for different contacts and/or apps. The physical keyboard is touch-sensitive for scrolling, and has a fingerprint sensor built into the space bar. It also has a 3.5mm headset jack. Its features are otherwise robust, with 5G (including good support for US networks), a 50 megapixel main camera (with OIS) and 24 megapixel front camera, 4,000 mAh battery, Qi2 wireless charging, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and 256 GB of storage that's also expandable. The Power Keyboard will run $109, or $79 for those who pre-order soon. It ships this spring. The Communicator has a full price of $499, or $399 for those who "reserve" one before February 27. Those who pay in full when they reserve will receive two free back covers (worth $100 total). The Communicator will ship "later this year".
