The world of technology is always on the move, and recent announcements are no exception. AMD has taken a bold step forward with its Ryzen 4000 series laptops, promising reduced chip size and increased bandwidth. This is exciting news for tech enthusiasts, as it suggests that these devices will be more powerful and efficient than ever before.
However, not everyone is celebrating AMD's success. A security flaw has been discovered in Intel chips from the past five years, which is causing quite a stir. Researchers have found that almost all of these chips have an unfixable security flaw known as the Converged Security and Management Engine (CSME). This means that users are at risk of being vulnerable to attacks, even if they follow recommended updates and precautions. Intel has acknowledged the issue and claims that installing CSME and BIOS updates can mitigate remote attacks, but it's a sobering reminder of the risks we face in the digital world.
In other news, Brilliant is offering an introduction to neural networks course that's sure to intrigue anyone interested in machine learning. With just 50 neurons, learners can build a network capable of classifying handwritten digits – a remarkable feat that showcases the power of artificial intelligence. If you're looking to improve your skills or learn something new, Brilliant is definitely worth checking out.
But it seems that not everyone is happy about the direction of technology. Two US senators have introduced a bill aimed at removing protections for end-to-end encryption, which has sparked concerns among those who value online security. And in a bizarre move, Facebook, Google, and other major tech companies have agreed to guidelines published by the US Department of Justice, its counterparts in Australia, Canada, and the UK, but this doesn't seem to be enough to alleviate concerns about online safety.
It's also been announced that TwitchCon has been canceled, while Minecraft Festival has had its launch delayed. However, the livestream element will continue as planned, so fans of these games won't be entirely disappointed. And in a surprising twist, Sonos has decided not to force users to upgrade to newer models by "recycling" their older speakers – instead, they'll offer discounted upgrades for those who want to stick with what they know.
In other news, Philips has announced that it's ending support for its Circle-shaped Bridge V1 hub in favor of the new more square Bridge V2. While this might be a disappointment for fans of circles, it's likely that the newer model will offer improved performance and features.
Finally, researchers at the University of Michigan have made some exciting breakthroughs in prosthetic technology. By grafting muscle onto nerve endings, they've developed a system that allows amputees to control a hand with very little training – a remarkable achievement that could revolutionize the field of prosthetics. And in an even more impressive development, researchers have successfully grown edible lettuce on the International Space Station – a taste of home for those living and working in space.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthese eight tech news stories are unbelievable wait till you see number five she didn't know the camera was rolling it's happened android has been installed on an

models of iphones the iphone 7 offers the smoothest experience but that is not saying much now the phone can boot up but there's a ton of functionality missing that's understandable though the

currently being sued by apple for offering access to ios virtual machines i mean you're already in trouble right like what why not just double down keep on digging to the side over there amd held their financial analyst day also known as fad yesterday and while that sounds incredibly boring i don't think it sounds boring my way the company actually dropped some intriguing details about their plans for 2020. teamred says we can expect new radeon gpus built on the rdna 2 architecture also known as navi 2x apparently that will finally hopefully address the high-end market and compete with nvidia who has just been kind of like sitting up there going yeah i mean look jensen we can't all afford 200 leather jackets so that we have a different one for every day of the week just like nvidia amd will finally be splitting its gpu architecture into rdna for gaming cards and c dna for compute cards meaning we could get performance improvements in both areas although not at the same time and then on the cpu side of things amd is working on a 3d chip stacking technology called x3d which will reduce chip size and increase bandwidth because x and hey as a bonus ryzen 4000 series laptops will apparently have up to 18 hours of battery life whoa slow down there team red amg is just like drunk on popularity for the first time in like 15 years they're making some big pros processors here is that right it's a big process they're making some big promises here our processors will even show you unconditional love they didn't say that they'll make you coffee and we didn't even mean to do this but meanwhile in intel land things still suck security firm positive technologies reports that almost all intel chips from the past five years have an unfixable security flaw right there in the converged security and management engine or csme that's not positive at all that hits me right where it hurts the most right in the csme the csme is important for various security measures like the trusted platform module authentication of bios firmware and bitlocker the flaw reportedly cannot be patched with a firmware update and because of that the researchers say that it effectively undermines trust in intel's platform as a whole where's the positive part intel says that installing csme and bios updates should mitigate remote attacks but that users could still be vulnerable to attacks from anyone with physical access to the hardware although that is kind of always the case isn't it there have been so many stories about flaws and intel chips i'm starting to brush them off now you know no no i'm not at all it's still a big deal and now it's time for the quip craps brought to you by brilliant whether you're a student a professional brushing up on cutting-edge topics or
