Riley on the day · June 16th
from Storyflo Daily
From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief for June 16th. It's Riley, June 16th. Ten stories from overnight — sourcing first, takes second. Let's get into it. First, from Ars Technica. Users cry foul after AMD stripped memory crypto from its consumer CPUs. What’s odd is that AMD quietly pulled the Transparent Secure Memory Encryption feature from its consumer Ryzen line, something they’d been adding for years to guard against cold‑boot attacks. The change shows up only on Windows as a silent drop, while on Linux you have to hunt through kernel logs to see the flag disappear. No notice, no explanation—just a terse reply that TSME is now a PRO‑only tech. People who grew used to that extra layer feel blindsided, especially since the hardware itself hasn’t changed; it’s just a firmware tweak. Until AMD clarifies why they rolled it back, the community is left guessing and a bit uneasy. Next. Second, from Slashdot. Fox Is Buying Roku For $22 Billion. Fox is buying Roku
