Linus
didn't follow Tech Tips's youtube channels are all down after he was hacked for some crytpo stuff:
https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/23/23653115/linus-tech-tips-youtube-hack-crypto-scamApparently other tech-related youtube channels have been hacked recently for the same purpose. It reminds me of when some guy hacked some major twitter accounts to do the same thing. Things could have been far worse in this or that situation, but the people just want a quick buck and crypto scams are the preferred way to do it.

A big asteroid passed by between the Earth and the Moon this weekend, a "once in a decade" event.
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-65061818Also in related news some "prebiotic compounds" found on another asteroid. There's a theory that meteorites crashing into Earth are what gave it the ingredients and environment needed for life to come about, so it's pretty cool.

Don't use magnets to wipe data off meteorites!
https://www.science.org/content/article/magnets-wipe-memories-meteorites-erasing-billion-year-old-data>In a new study, Foteini Vervelidou, a planetary scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and her colleagues have documented the destructive power of the hand magnets, which are often made from rare-earth metals such as neodymium and are typically about 10,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field. When brought within a few centimeters of a rock, the researchers found, the magnets overwrite vestigial fields contained in iron-based minerals such as magnetite and reset them to the higher strength and orientation of the magnet. In an instant, a unique view into the heart of distant rocky bodies can be erased. Black Beauty, for example, is the only known meteorite old enough to “remember” Mars’s magnetic field before it started to disappear about 4 billion years ago.(gave up on trying to find a magnet-related image so here's Lum)

On one hand they made Stable Diffusion so everyone owes them a debt of gratitude if they generate AI images locally, but on the other hand it was clearly an accident that they allowed people to prompt nudity and they tried to walk it all back with later versions. I've also heard the developers had to strong-arm the CEO to make SD a public thing. Everything I've heard about that Emad guy is bad, but tech CEOs are tech illiterate idiots that either have money or connections so that's nothing new.
Anyway, SD chose this path when they decided to be "safe" and expected to compete with Microsoft and other tech giants and paid the price for leaving their niche. I hope the actual creators of SD are able to find nice new jobs.

>>3268Probably simply depended on what you were doing. I got into it because it was the unofficial communication platform of Ultima Online for some reason. If you wanted to make friends you needed an ICQ account and even on the trade forums you would include it. Pretty strange in hindsight, but not many games back then had ways stay in touch with other people in the game itself.
