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

From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief for June 13th. Here are the 10 most-trending stories from the last day across the open web. Let's get into it. First, from ARS Technica Science. Have politics finally come for the National Academies of Science?. The National Academies of Science, founded in the Civil War era to advise the government, has long been a trusted source of expert analysis on complex scientific and technological issues. Its reputation rests on the ability to convene top researchers from across the country and produce thorough, peer‑reviewed reports that can inform policy without being swayed by partisan pressures. Historically, the Academies have not shied away from controversial topics, delivering findings that sometimes upset powerful interests yet still maintaining credibility with the agencies that fund them. This balance, however, appears to be fraying as Republican lawmakers increasingly view the institution as a political opponent rather than a neutr

The storyflo daily brief for June 3rd. Here are the 10 most-trending stories from the last day across the open web. First, from Simon Owens' Media Newsletter. How a weekly PDF became one of Africa’s most innovative news products. The Continent is a weekly PDF newspaper that has become one of Africa's most innovative news products. It was launched in April 2020 by Sipho Kings and Simon Allison, who had a deep understanding of the crisis facing legacy media. They had seen advertising dollars flow to tech platforms, news organizations shed thousands of journalists, and publishers become dependent on search engines and social media algorithms. Kings had experienced the collapse of traditional media firsthand, starting his journalism career in 2011 as a climate and environment reporter at a respected South African newspaper. He began to question whether the problem was journalism itself or the way it was being distributed. The answer he and Allison landed on was to package journalism i

Jonas Vingegaard has secured his overall victory at the Giro d'Italia, with a strong performance on the final climb to Piancavallo.

Vingegaard's victory was built on his ability to consistently stay ahead of his competitors, never giving up significant time to any of his GC rivals. The only exception was the Stage 10 time trial, where he lost some ground, but he was able to regain control and maintain his lead throughout the rest of the race. The final stage was a grueling test, with a massive climb to Piancavallo that pushed the riders to their limits. Vingegaard's attack on the second ascent proved to be the decisive moment, as he w
