The Federal Trade Commission has kicked off the rulemaking process for privacy regulations that could restrict online surveillance and punish bad data-security practices. It's a move that some privacy advocates say is long overdue, as similar Congressional efforts face endless uncertainty. The Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking , approved on a 3-2 vote along partisan lines, was spurred by commercial data collection, which occurs at "a massive scale and in a stunning array of contexts," FTC Chair Lina M. Khan said in a press release . Companies surveil online activity, friend networks, browsing and purchase history, location data, and other details; analyze it with opaque algorithms; and sell it through "the massive, opaque market for consumer data," Khan said. Companies can also fail to secure that data or use it to make services addictive to children. They can also potentially discriminate against customers based on legally protected statuses like race, gender, religion, … [Read more...] about FTC aims to counter the “massive scale” of online data collection

Audio player loading… The global chip shortage, also called the semiconductor shortage, seems to have snuck up on everyone in the world, even though it's something that should have been obvious. Just about everything nowadays has silicon chips in it, from phones and computers to kitchen appliances and even cars. And all of this tech is becoming increasingly advanced, so the best processors aren't being reserved for just the latest gaming PC. This isn't the first time this has happened: major chip shortages occurred on several occasions previously, including in 1988 (opens in new tab) due to high demand and in 2000 due to a shortage of several Intel products (opens in new tab) . And then again in 2011, when an earthquake in Japan caused a severe shortage of NAND memory and displays (opens in new tab) .

Earnings reports for tech companies this quarter have been mixed at best. Apple , Microsoft , Alphabet , and others have managed to eke out a little growth, while the likes of Meta and Nintendo shrank a little, and most companies' projections for the next quarter are also less-than-optimistic. One company that has been hit particularly hard is Intel , which saw its revenues decline from $19.6 billion in Q2 of 2021 to $15.3 billion in 2022. The company's earnings presentation ( PDF ) showed weakness across the board for a variety of reasons: weaker demand for consumer PCs, money invested in getting the Arc dedicated graphics products off the ground, and "competitive pressure" in the server CPU market. That competitor is AMD, whose EPYC line of server processors was just one bright spot in a record quarter for the company . Revenue increased from $3.9 billion in Q2 of 2021 to $6.6 billion this year, with $673 million of that additional revenue coming from EPYC … [Read more...] about Intel’s loss is AMD’s gain as EPYC server CPUs benefit from Intel’s delays

5G. New Delhi, With Jio likely rolling out standalone 5G, Bharti Airtel would be under pressure to have a similar network in the coming years, foreign brokerage BofA Securities said in a report. 'In our view, this raises the risk of Bharti acquiring 700 MHz in the next auction (pricing likely to be similar to this auction). Even capex investments should be higher - first to roll out NSA and then standalone 5G,' the report said. , 'We hence see 5G-related investments as likely to remain high for a couple of years. We consider 5G largely to be a duopoly between Jio and Bharti in the consumer space and expect both Bharti and Jio to emerge as dominant players even in the consumer space with bundled 5G offerings,' BofA Securities added.
