Nvidia intends to use DeepMap's mapping IP in its autonomous vehicle business called Nvidia Drive, which will let the company scale worldwide map operations.	https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/10/nvidia-acquires-hi-def-mapping-startup-deepmap-to-bolster-av-technology/
20		tm	The 6.1.15 update to Apple's boot camp includes support for Windows Precision Touchpad drivers, including single tap to click, lower-right corner to right-click, down motion to scroll up, and three or four finger gestures. Microsoft introduced Windows Precision Touchpad in 2013. In another Windows development, Microsoft has updated its lifecycle page for Windows 10 Home and Pro to indicate it will continue to support at least one Windows 10 Semi-Annual Channel until October 14, 2025. Previously retirement dates were only given for the twice-yearly releases of Windows 10. This has fueled the speculation that Microsoft might announce a replacement for Windows 10 in its June 24th announcement which it says will include Windows' "most significant updates ... of the past decade".	https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/11/22529493/apple-windows-precision-touchpad-support-boot-camp-update

22		sl	McDonald's said Friday it's hired security consultants to investigate unauthorized access into its networks. Intruders accessed data from markets including South Korea, Taiwan and the US, which included some employee and franchisee contact info and details about restaurants in the US, along with delivery customer info like name, phone, email and address in South Korea and Taiwan. Some information on employees in South Africa and Russia may also have been accessed, but no payment info appears to have been compromised.	https://www.wsj.com/articles/mcdonalds-hit-by-data-breach-in-south-korea-taiwan-11623412800?mod=djemalertNEWS
23		tm	The Chinese ride hailing giant Didi Chuxing filed for an inital public offering, with plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq. In its financial statements, Didi disclosed a $1.7 billion loss on $21.6 billion in revenue for 2020, with SoftBank owning a 21.5% stake in the company, followed by Uber with 12.8%.	https://www.axios.com/chinese-ride-hail-didi-chuxing-ipo-0e3f052e-3105-4f6a-8917-b3d5ce111907.html
24		sl	The New York State Senate voted to pass the Digital Fair Repair Act, which “requires OEMs to make available, for purposes of diagnosis, maintenance, or repair, to any independent repair provider... on fair and reasonable terms, documentation, parts, and tools, inclusive of any updates to information or embedded software.” The bill must now pass New York’s Assembly before the end of New York's legislative session on June 17th.	https://www.vice.com/en/article/93y3np/new-york-senate-passes-electronics-right-to-repair-legislation

26	:34	sl	Google released Chrome 91 this week, which ends the idea of only showing the domain name in the address bar of Chrome-based browsers. Years ago Chrome stopped displaying the http in the address bar, though it's still there if you copy the URL and paste it somewhere else. Last year, in Chrome 86, Google decided to try out what Apple's Safari already does, which is only show the domain name unless you click into the address bar. The idea is to help users identify when they're being fooled with a confusing URL like paypal.phishingsite.com. With the full URL you might glance and think you're at PayPal but with only the domain name you would see phisingsite.com so you know you're not actually at PayPal's website. Android Police noted that Google engineer Emily Stark wrote in the Chromium projects bug tracker that the "simplified domain experiment" will be deleted from the codebase, saying, "This experiment didn't move relevant security metrics, so we're not going to launch it. :("	https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/06/google-chrome-ends-its-war-on-address-bar-urls-for-now-at-least/

28	:37	tm	The Wall Street Journals's David Uberti has a story about how the US FBI was able to get Colonial Pipeline's money back from Darkside after it paid 75 bitcoins, worth about $4.4 million on May 8th. Essentially, the public nature of the blockchain made it possible. While the identity of a wallet's owner is anonymous on the blockchain, every transaction is public. Meaning you can know which wallet got money even if you don't know who owns the wallet. Law enforcement agencies observing the blockchain have developed a map of what addresses are used regularly by malicious actors. A special agent watched the bitcoin block chain for 19 days as those 75 bitcoins were transferred to other addresses. On May 13th, Darkside announced some of its servers had been seized and 11.3 bitcoins were transferred into a consolidated wallet that holds about 108 bitcoins.. On May 27th, 63.7 bitcoins were transferred to a wallet that the FBI had the private key for. The FBI got a warrant and seized the coins, now worth about $2.3 million. Law enforcement is watching to see if the remaining coins move out of the consolidated wallet.	https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-the-fbi-got-colonial-pipelines-ransom-money-back-11623403981?mod=rss_Technology

30	:41	ca	Tech in Asia has a write up in its newsletter about F1 Delta Time, a racing game that uses a blockchain to let players exchange in-game currency for one of three cryptocurrencies: bitcoin, ether or USDT. You can also trade game assets as NFTs. An NFT for car was sold in 2019 for $111,111 worth of cryptocurrency. 5% of an in-game track was sold in 2020 for $222,000. F1 Delta Times is made by Hong Kong-based Animoca Brands which published other blockchain-based games like The Sandbox.	https://www.techinasia.com/blockchain-gaming

36	:47	sl	Cnet's Erin Carson wrote a piece called "How Gen Z harnessed the internet and destroyed the generation wars", which focuses on how the younger generation, often called Gen Z, is struggling to do what every generation before it struggled to do, which is define itself. What's different is the scale at which the internet plays into that definition, because Gen Z kids have never known a world without being online. Examples include countless TikTok videos about what's cool, like parting your hair in the middle because a side part is only something that millenials do, or... gasp... even Gen X olds. Certain clothing is cool or uncool. Catch phrases go in and out. Basic trend stuff. Carson notes that back in the early 2000s, Microsoft researcher danah boyd described a concept called context collapse, when a person's friends, family, co-workers and other segments of their social life suddenly were all in one place -- like Facebook -- and how that convergence affected that person's behavior. Today, building a persona is a way to broadcast to the world who you are and who you aren't. And since humans natually form groups, you want to belong, it's just on a much bigger scale.	https://www.cnet.com/news/how-gen-z-harnessed-the-internet-and-destroyed-the-generation-wars/#ftag=CAD590a51e

40			A bipedal robot isn't cool. You know what's cool? An acrobatic robot. The cool folks at the Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC) are developing a child-size acrobatic humanoid named Nadia, and researchers from the Biomimetic Robotics Lab at MIT are working on a new acrobatic robot as well. MIT's next-gen Mini Cheetah robots, developed with funding and support from Naver Labs, are exploring what they describe as “a new humanoid robot design, an actuator-aware kino-dynamic motion planner, and a landing controller as part of a practical system design for highly dynamic motion control of the humanoid robot.” Think robots that can perform backflips, with legs that have newly designed actuators with higher power and better torque density. It's all being tested in simulation, but MIT is modeling the detailed physical constraints that the robot operates under as it performs dynamic motions, so eventual real-world motions will match the simulation as accurately as possible.	https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/ihmc-developing-new-gymnastinspired-humanoid-robot

45			Sarah, Good luck with the reMarkable 2. One thing that a lot of eink people don’t realize is the touch sensitivity is not nearly as good as most tablets. The extension for browsers does also work in the Edge Chromium browser. That is the main thing I use my reMarkable 2 for. Justin, Have you looked at ROCKETBOOK? Yes, it is taking a picture with your phone after writing, but you can then have it send the data to different services that you might be able to do things with it, including OCR for some of them. https://rocketbookhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024942293-How-is-This-Different-From-Taking-a-Photo-with-My-Phone- Jeremy Sent from my iPad Pro
