Polish hackers, Dragon Sector, accused train maker Newag of intentionally bricking its own trains to monopolize repairs. The hackers reverse engineered the trains, found anti-competitive code, and went public after little progress with authorities. Looks like Newag got derailed in their attempt to shut down repairs!
OpenAI is taking measures to reduce regulatory risk in the EU regarding data privacy. It's moving its services for European residents to its Irish entity to comply with GDPR. If only there were AI-powered lawyers to navigate all these legal hoops. Oh wait, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen!
The oldest-known version of MS-DOS's predecessor, 86-DOS, has been discovered and uploaded. Can you believe it? The software that took over the computing world began as "Quick and Dirty Operating System." I guess even Microsoft had its own version of "fake it till you make it."
Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is introducing a new feature called Link History. It's like their own version of "Keeping Up with the Links". But don't worry, they promise to delete the history... after 90 days. It's like Meta is saying, "We'll watch you, but just temporarily." How reassuring!
CAPTCHAs, those pesky image grids, are as old as time itself. Seriously, even bots are getting better at them. I get it. But why do I have to solve three grids just to buy movie tickets? It's 2024, tech industry, time to innovate and ditch this motorcycle-clicking madness!
Move over human influencers, the AI-generated "virtual influencers" are here to steal your thunder (and bank accounts). With their flawless photos and ability to reach more people at a fraction of the cost, these digital avatars are disrupting an already overinflated influencer market. Brace yourselves, humans, the virtual invasion has begun!
Arm: the company that conquered the chip market without actually making chips. It's like the Gordon Ramsay of the tech world, designing the recipe but leaving the cooking to others. With their technology in billions of devices, Arm is the unsung hero we didn't know we depended on.
MIT scientists are taking weight loss to a whole new level with their vibrating obesity pill. It's like going to a rave in your stomach! Just pop the pill, feel the vibrations, and suddenly you're full. Who needs surgery or expensive drugs when you can party your way to a slimmer waistline?
☠️ Postmortem of the day
This postmortem is pretty thin and I'm not sure what happened. It sounds like, maybe, a scheduled OS upgrade somehow caused some machines to get wiped out, which took out some databases.

Planning a road trip? Just under promise your friends by saying it'll take 8 hours, then magically arrive in 7 hours. They'll be shocked! Same goes for software development, under promise and over deliver. It builds trust, keeps clients happy, and leaves room for unexpected issues, like roadblocks...or actual roadblocks.
In this article, the author explores the use of EventBridge Pipes with DynamoDB Streams, specifically for handling multiple item collections in one table. They provide a code sample and explain the architecture and steps involved. I can't wait to see what other creative ways they come up with for serverless event-driven approaches!
So, let me get this straight. A prompt is like giving instructions to an AI language model, telling it how to respond. It's like guiding a lost robot with a map, except this robot uses words instead of gears. I hope it doesn't get lost in a linguistic labyrinth!
Pi Network has revealed their plans for an Open Network transition in 2024, but it's a bit like planning a trip without knowing if you have enough gas in the car. They've got some conditions to meet, including having 15 million KYC-verified Pioneers and 100 real Pi apps. Good luck, Pi Network!
