Five Things Tech: Crowdstrike, CLI, Technological Richter Scale, Underwater Data Center, Li-FiIt's another Saturday full of Tech! Read on, my dear!
Hello and welcome back to Five Things Tech! Let me tell you how it is. I spent all week reading about tech and then on a Friday evening I sit here looking through all the articles I bookmarked and oftentimes I figure that you probably picked up the news stories already. So I’m always looking for the stuff that is not so obvious, so that you don’t miss it. So here’s my curated list of tech stories for this week. I hope you find them as useful and insightful as I did! Please remember that I spent all this time researching and reading so that you don’t have to do it. It would be amazing if you could upgrade your subscription for me! Grab a coffee and then start reading! ☕️ Ex-CrowdStrike employees detail rising technical errors before July outage
This just seems to be the tip of the iceberg. There needs to be more oversight and better regulation when it comes to critical infrastructure on a global scale. Microsoft blames Crowdstrike, but Microsoft needs to address their security and update procedures as well. The Modern CLI Renaissance
Oh, wow, I really don’t know how I found this gem of a text, but 30 years ago I was a command line wizard and I spent so much time configuring my shell with all available bells and whistles. So cool to see the CLI still being improved these days! AI and the Technological Richter Scale
The Technological Richter Scale is a good way to measure the impact of technology. Let’s have a look at AI and what we can expect from it. Proposed underwater data center surprises regulators who hadn’t heard about
“Data centers powering the generative AI boom are gulping water and exhausting electricity at what some researchers view as an unsustainable pace. Two entrepreneurs who met in high school a few years ago want to overcome that crunch with a fresh experiment: sinking the cloud into the sea.” - what do you think? smart idea or just crazy? What is Li-Fi? Could It Be the Future for Internet Connection?
“Light Fidelity, also known as Li-Fi, uses the power of light to transmit data. Unlike Wi-Fi, which uses radio waves to create a wireless connection, Li-Fi relies on light to transmit data. Through this process, Li-Fi promises speeds that are 100 times faster than Wi-Fi.” - ok, can they please speed up the research? That’s all for now! Thanks for reading!
