Huawei Getting the Boot
Huawei is back in the news as US officials find it appropriate to place further restrictions on a company that reportedly has close relations with the Chinese government. This proposed requirement would prohibit international companies that produce smartphone chips to first acquire a license to use "American chip making equipment" before selling any chips to Huawei. This restriction is intended to avoid the selling of specialized chips to major telecommunications companies in China and to supply more common chips. Trump hasn't signed off on any new regulations yet, but if he does, tech companies like Apple and Qualcomm could lose out. >>Source

Amazon’s Alexa To Help Diagnose – COVID-19
Users of Alexa in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, India, the UK, and the US can now ask their device for the first steps of diagnosing COVID-19. Some of the questions you might ask Alexa, “Alexa, what do I do if I think I have coronavirus”? or “Alexa, what do I do if I think I have COVID-19?” Alexa will then inquire about your symptoms, travel history, and any other factors that might play a role in the virus. After the information is given, the information will be taken directly from the CDC and transmitted back to the user. Siri and Google Voice Assistant have been fitted with identical features. Alexa’s will also sing a song for 20 seconds, too, and then let you know that you've been washing your hands long enough. >>Source

US Space Force Has Launched
The US Space Force has launched its first successful national security mission carrying an “Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite into orbit.” The rocket named Atlas V was to be launched at 11:37 a.m. PT but was delayed till 1:20 p.m. PT due to a few technical problems. It is the last of the six AEHF satellites to be launched into orbit, providing global, surviving and secure communication capabilities for land, sea and air troops. Trump launched this new military branch back in August and, in January, unveiled the design of Atlas V, alleging that the logo had very similar chrematistics of the Star Treks logo. >>Source

AMD Admits Its New Graphics Tech Has Been Stolen
Chip-creator AMD has recognized that a programmer took a portion of the organization's graphics IP and is apparently requesting $100 million for its protected return. In an announcement to its site, AMD said it was reached in December 2019 by a person who professed to have access to "test files" for the organization's present and future graphic items. A portion of these files were presented online on the graphics forum GitHub before AMD brought them down with a DMCA notice. This individual has acquired "extra files" past the ones made openly accessible, AMD said. The organization said it's working with law and specialists in its criminal examination. >>Source

Good Luck with that. And yes, there wasn't much dedicated usergroup related news this week. Mostly, the scene has been inactive except for a couple of users who are regulars.

Nice news for the week, I love the artwork Finance Fanatic.
