One crime ring scammed 2,000 elderly people of more than $27 million between 2021 and 2023 using tech support/bank impersonation/refund scams. "Victims were in their 70s and 80s," reports the U.S. Attorney's office for California's southern district. Victims were first told they'd received a refund (either online or via phone), but then told they'd been "over-refunded" a massive amount, and asked to return that amount.

У меня уже была установлена RTX 4080 с 16 ГБ VRAM. Её вполне достаточно для гейминга, но не для моделей, которые я хотел запускать локально. Так что следующим шагом было либо приобретение дорогущей карточки с большим объёмом памяти, либо поиск другого способа. И я этот способ нашёл.Я купил видеокарту для датацентра, у которой даже нет нормального коннектора PCIe, и подключил её к ПК через адаптер. Теперь у меня в системе... Read more ›

В прошлой статье я рассказывал, как за несколько месяцев в одиночку запилил сервис генерации статей, и как он в итоге оказался комплексной платформой по работе с контентом.За эти месяцы в процессе разработки постоянно всплывали проблемы.

Она в 3 классе рассказала мне, что часто у неё получается воспро Read more ›

That could complicate Apple's privacy-first AI messaging, especially if more complex Siri requests are routed through Google infrastructure and Nvidia's encrypted cloud-computing platform....
