Tech News today :

- Hundai buying Boston Dynamic for $1B. Here goes our favorite robot manufacturer. Also this one speaks what's wrong with US tech. Dumb technologies like SnapChat sells for multi billions, where multiple PhD level of work for so many years sells for sub billion.

- US Gov sues Facebook for monopoly. Trump strikes back. This comes with the news that Biden admin will totally get rid of anti-trust laws. Relieving large tech companies from such law suites in the future.

- CentOS ditching Centos Linux. There goes the free version of RHEL we had been using for so long. And that leaves Fedora the only option if you want to stick with old RPM installers. Good that I had been using Fedora on laptop. From now on we have to use it on servers too.

- YouTube declared it will remove all contents that allege US election wasn't fair. Basically Google joining FB and Twitter.

- The much talked about game Cyberpunk 2077 released. Talks on how to run it on Linux being posted. And the preview I watched doesn't make it different from the thousands of FPS we had been playing for the last two decades. Graphics isn't more realistic either.

- And even though XBox X theoretically has a drop of more speed over PS 5, users reporting it runs games slower than PS 5. Interestingly you can buy any of these consoles for $500 where a new gen Nvidia card costs at least $800 after price reduction. Proving that graphics cards, specially Nvidia is so much over priced.
