#1. Associé à Nvidia, TSMC aurait développé une technologie cruciale pour vos données
TSMC aurait constitué une petite armée de 200 chercheurs, en compagnie de Nvidia et Broadcom, pour travailler sur la photonique intégrée sur silicium. Cette technologie, en développement depuis une dizaine d’années, devient de plus en plus centrale pour optimiser les serveurs… et leur permettre d’atteindre des débits de transmissions de données toujours plus élevés sur de longues distances.
Le développement du cloud, des différents services en streaming, ou encore de l’intelligence artificielle implique des transmissions de données en volumes toujours plus importants, mais aussi à des vitesses plus élevées. Optimiser les infrastructures permettant de véhiculer ces données au sein des serveurs et entre les data centers est par conséquent un enjeu crucial. La photonique intégrée sur silicium (Silicon Photonics en anglais) répond à cette problématique.

#2. Telegraph auction poses litmus test for value of newspapers in digital age
The imminent auction of the Telegraph is being viewed as a litmus test of the value of influential national newspaper titles in the era of increasingly digitally led profitability. Media barons and conglomerates, who have hung on to old-world assets for decades in the belief it was right to bet on a sector largely unfancied by tech-obsessed investors, are watching it keenly.
Since the onset of the digital era at the start of the century, newspapers have, with a few notable exceptions, been a precarious investment at best.

#3. Nearly half a billion small tech items thrown away
Nearly half a billion small electricals such as cables, lights, mini fans and disposable vapes, were thrown away last year, research from Material Focus has shown.
These « Fast Tech » items, the electrical version of fast fashion, are the fastest-growing e-waste type, it says.
The average home also has 30 unused electrical items gathering dust, the research shows.
These items contain valuable raw materials, and all can be recycled.

#4. Blue checks aren’t protecting sex workers from X’s porn crackdown
When X (formerly Twitter) launched paid subscription verification, Mistress Rouge, a professional dominatrix, hoped that it would help her advertise to new clients. But paying for the service didn’t protect her from X’s crackdown on explicit content, which is a particularly hard blow for sex workers on the platform who have few options to promote themselves elsewhere.
“It has done basically nothing for my Twitter engagement,” Mistress Rogue told TechCrunch over DM. “I feel like a fool for paying it. I feel fooled by Elon Musk.”

#5. The Team Helping Women Fight Digital Domestic Abuse
Location-enabled tech designed to make our lives easier is often exploited by domestic abusers. Refuge, a UK nonprofit, helps women to leave abusive relationships, secure their devices, and stay safe.
Pick up any piece of tech and Emma Pickering knows how it can be used to abuse, harass, and stalk women. Amazon’s Ring home doorbell cameras can monitor when someone leaves the house and who is visiting them. Until recently, Netflix showed the IP addresses where users were logged in, allowing their location to be tracked. Workout apps and websites such as Strava show where and when people are exercising. And abusers often slip small GPS trackers or audio recorders into women’s belongings or attach them to their cars.

#6. Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour made close to $100 million in its opening weekend.
Swifties and the Swift-curious (and probably some mix of obligated parents) reportedly pushed Taylor Swift’s theatrical release of her concert tour film to between $95 million and $97 million.
Variety reported that AMC says it can’t be more exact with its projections “without clear comparisons.” Rival theaters think the number is closer to $94 million, according to the outlet.

#7. The Kids Don’t Want to Go to College Anymore, and Why Would They?
Journalist and author Paul Tough tells us about what’s driving rising tuition fees, lower enrollment, and the myth of college as an equalizer in the US.
ON THIS WEEK’S episode of Have a Nice Future, Gideon Lichfield and Lauren Goode talk to Paul Tough, education journalist and author of The Inequality Machine, about the future of higher education. Even as many Americans return to college campuses this month, rising costs and a lower return on investment have raised uncomfortable questions about just what those classes are all leading toward. Can college be saved?
