    Apple: Did you try to turn it off and on again?
    • Apple has acknowledged an issue with "pink squares or pixels" on displays connected to new M1 ARM-based Mac mini computers. According to the available data, the causes of this problem are currently being searched for. Most probably it is hardware issue with M1 chip.

      Cases of pink pixels and squares appearing on displays connected to Mac mini have been known for a long time. Since the launch of the new M1-based Mac mini in November, there have been numerous reports of such cases. The exact cause of pink pixels on displays is still unknown to wide public, but Apple know it. Based on user reports, the problem occurs when HDMI is used to connect the display rather than Thunderbolt. HDMI controller has lot of problems on M1 chip, including color modes restriction and such bugs.

      There was no specific timeframe or even any promise for fix, but Apple's message appeared a few days after the release of macOS Big Sur 11.2.1, which does not seem to solve the mentioned problem. It is possible that a fix will be prepared for the launch of macOS Big Sur 11.3, which is in beta testing since February 2.

      Apple recommends to put your Mac mini into sleep mode, wait two minutes, and then return your computer to work.

      Yes, they are serious.

    War: Most Huawei plans considering smartphones failed
    • As the Nikkei Asian Review found out through its channels, Huawei Technologies has notified component suppliers that it will cut orders this year to the number required to produce 70 million to 80 million smartphones. Huawei managed to ship 189 million smartphones last year, so the decline will be noticeable. Some sources expect production to drop to 50 million units.

      For now none of loud plans announced by management worked. They lost all their chips production. And now only huge patriotic propaganda force users to buy smartphones that mostly use simple and cheap MTK LSI. Without it sales could already plummet below 10 millions per year.

    Panasonic management new level: Making farting socks
    • Nicobo is prone to bouts of flatulence and has bad moods, so there are days when it might not respond to you very much (or it might fart). Right as Panasonic top managers.

      Panasonic is only planning to make 320 Nicobos in its initial production run and pre-orders through a crowdfunding platform sold out in around six hours. Panasonic expects to deliver Nicobo around March 2022 and for staggering $360 (quite a lot of thing that can mostly only fart).

    Crypto scam: Nvidia openly stands behind new crypto bubble
    • Nvidia is now offering a new Cryptocurrency Mining Processor (CMP) for Ethereum miners. These will include the best performance for mining and efficiency, but they won’t handle graphics at all. Nvidia says these CMP products, crucially, “don’t impact the availability of GeForce GPUs to gamers.”

      https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/cmp/

      Nvidia is purposefully making its new RTX 3060 graphics cards less efficient to mine Ethereum cryptocurrency. New drivers that will accompany the release of the GPUs later this month will reduce the hash rate of Ethereum mining by around 50 percent, using software detection for cryptocurrency mining.

      Rumors are that Nvidia perfectly knew during development - most RTX cards will go into miners farms.
