US equities closed mixed in New York overnight. The Dow Jones gained more than 100 points or 0.47% to notch its first 9-day rally since 2017. A rally came after better-than-expected results from Johnson and Johnson. However, the broader market suffered after post-earnings declines in trader favourites Netflix and Tesla. The S&P500 slipped 0.7%, while the Nasdaq tumbled more than 2%. What to watch today:The SPI futures are suggesting that our local market will rise 0.08% at the open this morning. In commodities, Crude oil is up 0.6%, approaching US$76 per barrel, after facing heightened volatility in recent sessions, as investors continued to weigh outlook for the oil market for the rest of this year. Gold is hovering at its strongest levels in two months as easing US inflation raised hopes that the Federal Reserve is close to the end of its current monetary policy tightening cycle. So keep watch of ASX gold miners today. And iron ore is currently trading flat, hovering close to a three-month high at US$116.50 per tonne, as markets continued to weigh on Chinese resource demand. So also keep watch of iron ore miners, including Grange Resources (ASX:GRR), Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) and Fortescue Metals (ASX:FMG). Companies to watch today include Atlas Arteria Group (ASX:ALX) and Coronado Global Resources (ASX:CRN), both set to release quarterly reports today. Trading Ideas:Bell Potter maintains its Speculative Buy rating on Pentanet (ASX:5GG). The telecommunications carrier and cloud gaming provider released a Q4 update with FY23 revenue and gross profit growth in line with Bell Potters expectations. They have upgraded their valuation to $0.14 on improving cost performance. At 5GG's current share price of $0.09, this implies 42.9% share price growth in a year. And Bell Potter also maintains a Buy rating on Select Harvest (ASX:SHV) and maintain their $5.50 price target, which implies 31% share price growth in a year. 

The Federal Reserve meeting has kicked off, which saw European markets close lower, with oil and gas stocks weighing down on the market the most. In the US, the Dow Jones tumbled more than 300 points or 1.08% amid concerns on the banking sector and ahead of the Fed's rate decision. The S&P500 and the Nasdaq also both declined more than 1%. What to watch today:The SPI futures are suggesting our local market will drop 0.56% at the open, following the global sell-off. Looking at commodities, Oil has sharply fallen further, currently trading 5.4% lower at around US$71.56 per barrel. This marks a five-week low and is due to concerns about a possible recession resulting from interest rate hikes by central banks, as this could ultimately affect energy demand. The RBA unexpectedly raised rates yesterday, and the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank are set to make announcements this week. Meanwhile iron ore is trading flat. Gold is approaching a 13-month high due to evidence of a slower job market, and concerns over small-cap US banks. Trading Ideas:Bell Potter maintain a Speculative Buy rating on Pentanet (ASX:5GG). The company is a licensed telecommunications carrier and cloud gaming provider based in Perth. 5GG released a third consecutive flat quarterly update, as the company is focusing on increasing its capacity to serve higher margin on-net subscribers. Bell Potter's recommendation is based on a successfully scaled rollout of the company's next-gen network and cloud gaming services, which can meet global tends in entertainment and data proliferation from evolving media consumption. They have lowered their valuation to $0.12, and at the stocks current share price of $0.08, this implies 46.4% share price growth in a year. Trading Central has identified a bearish signal in Woodside Energy (ASX:WDS) indicating that the stock price may fall from the close of $33.38 to the range of $31.40 to $31.80 over 7 days according to the standard principles of technical analysis. 

Danelle and Chris talk with Stephen Cornish, founder and managing director of Pentanet, a Perth-based internet provider providing super-fast speeds for homes and businesses. A keen gamer, Stephen set up his first tower for himself so he could enjoy faster internet to play League of Legends. Years later, the company now owns the largest private fixed network in Perth, has listed on the ASX (‘5GG'), and even owns a professional League of Legends team. “If you have an idea, you really have nothing to lose by doing it. You'll have some challenges, things will get tough, and you'll make sacrifices, but if you don't do it, it won't happen.” ~ Stephen Cornish.

Welcome to Bits, your daily tech news bulletin, for Tuesday, May 18, I'm Seamus Byrne.Leading today's bulletin is esports, with an amazing result in the wee hours this morning as Perth's Pentanet defeated one of the world's biggest brands in esports, Cloud9. Cloud9 was the North American champion team at the Mid-Season Invitational event we've been covering in recent weeks, and while Pentanet had already lost its 7th game and could not progress in the tournament the team played with the same flair and meme-filled attitude they've brought to the whole tournament that has won them fans around the world. Think Perth Wildcats beating the LA Lakers and we're in the right ballpark. A joyful moment for the local League of Legends scene. The European hosts of the MSI 2021 broadcast celebrated Pentanet's win with a Red Bull shoey. They bow out but take many hearts back to WA from this event.https://liquipedia.net/leagueoflegends/Mid-Season_Invitational/2021/Rumble_StageNBN Co has once again had to push back the timing on selling new hybrid-fibre coaxial connections, but now it's not due to shortages in termination equipment. This time it's due to NBN's system for assigning work to contractors is having major problems. NBN contractors have held protests across the country in recent weeks due to the new work scheduling system causing major delays in jobs, which has reduced how many jobs they can complete in a day or causing delays to starting jobs for customers. More widely, internet service providers have also been complaining about the issues, which is also impacting on fault rectification appointments as well as new connections. For HFC, no new date for resumption of connections has been offered by NBN.https://www.itnews.com.au/news/nbn-co-pushes-back-hfc-sales-restart-as-workforce-system-bugs-bite-564658In NSW, the state government has announced a trial to make it easier to find a parking spot on Sydney streets. The smart kerbsides trial will run in Liverpool for 12 months, giving app-based visibility of where parking spots are available in real time. The app can also manage "park now, pay later" services to only charge drivers for the time they actually spend at a parking spot. Further, Liverpool Council Mayor Wendy Waller says the data related to the trial will help in planning for pedestrian and cycling flows and other aspects of road safety and parking availability.https://www.zdnet.com/article/nsw-to-undergo-trial-of-smart-kerbsides/In music news, Apple has announced it is launching a new lossless audio quality tier as a free upgrade for its entire music catalogue. Starting in June, people can choose to stream music at up to 24-bit 192 kHz lossless audio quality, with support for Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos for musicians who choose to support such listening formats. Apple's AirPods and most wireless earphones do not support lossless formats because they use Bluetooth connectivity that requires compression, but AirPods will support the new Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos features. At the same time, Amazon has also updated its services to now deliver Amazon Music HD service to all Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers for free. The HD version of its music service was previous $5 more per month.https://www.macrumors.com/2021/05/17/airpods-apple-music-lossless-audio/https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/9573513/amazon-music-hd-unlimited-hi-fi-price-streamingMicrosoft has today launched a personal edition of its Teams collaboration software, which has evolved rapidly during the pandemic as a workplace collaboration platform.

Welcome to Bits, your daily tech news bulletin, for Monday, May 17, I'm Seamus Byrne.The Australian Signals Directorate, in response to Senate Estimates questions, has told parliament that it knows who was behind an attack on parliamentary email servers in March, but it is not saying who that was publicly as it feels that is a matter for the government. ASD said it was an unsophisticated attack, but that due to a lack of two-factor authentication on access it was more successful than it should have been. Users were forced to implement 2FA when they were allowed back into the system.https://www.zdnet.com/article/asd-knows-who-attacked-the-aph-email-system-but-isnt-revealing-who/eBay has announced it is closing its "adults only" section of the website in what it calls a move to enhance "safety" on the platform. The site maintained a dedicated section of the site as a home for such items, but this will end in one month's time. However, some exceptions are being carved out for sex toys and collectible magazines. The move continues a trend that makes it harder for sex-related content and services to find a place in legitimate marketplaces.https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kvb7z/ebay-is-banning-hentai-and-other-adult-contentRumours of Twitter launching a subscription service have been around for a long time, but now more details have been revealed by hidden feature hunter Jane Manchun Wong. The service is set to be called Twitter Blue, with a suggested price of US$2.99 per month. The paid service will offer features like Bookmark Collections, an Undo Send timer on tweets, and improved news reading experience. No word on timings or what other features may be included, but there's certainly no mention of that edit button many users crave.https://www.macrumors.com/2021/05/15/twitter-blue-subscription-service/A report by US non-profit organisation Center for Countering Hate has found that the vast majority of disinformation about vaccines and COVID on social media were distributed by just 12 people. An analysis of activity between the start of February and mid-March showed that 65% of anti-vaccine content on Twitter and 73% on Facebook originated with the same 12 people across a network of accounts they control. Despite repeated violations of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter rules, nine of the twelve remain active on the platforms.https://www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996570855/disinformation-dozen-test-facebooks-twitters-ability-to-curb-vaccine-hoaxesFrom the serious to the more entertaining, a security researcher has published proof of concept code for a major security flaw in a computer system that, thankfully, no one should be worried about. The flaw allows for arbitrary code to be executed on a 1967 design for a Universal Turing machine designed by the late Marvin Minsky. While the conceptual hack has the air of entertainment, researcher Pontus Johnson suggests it speaks to a fundamental question of security design – where in the design process does security enter the picture?https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/11/turing_machine_0day_no_patch_available/In videogames, the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival over the weekend offered a surprise for local fans, with news that an Oceanic data centre is set to open later this year. Launching seven years into the life of the game, such a server will see much improved latency and a potentially improved sense of local community for players from this region. No specific date was announced, but it is expected to launch ahead of the game's new expansion, Endwalker, which was given its launch date of November 23 this year.https://www.shacknews.com/article/124389/final-fantasy-14-adding-new-oceania-online-data-centerIn esports news, Pentanet.gg has struggled in the Rumble stage of the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational, with an 0-6 record over the weekend.

Welcome to Bits, your daily tech news bulletin, for Monday, May 10, I'm Seamus Byrne.A big moment for Australian esports overnight, with Perth's Pentanet.gg becoming the first local team to make it out of the group stage of an international League of Legends competition. Pentanet split its victories with main group rival Unicorns of Love, 2-2, resulting in a play-off match to decide who would progress. Pentanet secured the victory and made history for the Oceanic region. At the end of 2020 League of Legends closed down the local region's official league, with top Australian talent largely moving to the USA to continue their careers. A new association formed to create a new local competition and to see Pentanet succeed on the world stage after such uncertainty and change is a spectacular moment for the local esports scene.https://liquipedia.net/leagueoflegends/Mid-Season_Invitational/2021The federal budget takes place tomorrow, and a pre-announcement late last week saw the government reveal it aims to establish a new National AI Centre to coordinate AI expertise and help drive adoption of AI opportunities across Australian businesses. The centre will sit within CSIRO's Data61. A number of additional initiatives were also announced, including encouragement for more AI-related graduate programs as well as programs to encourage the use of AI in regional Australia to solve both local and regional problems.https://www.innovationaus.com/govt-to-establish-50m-national-ai-centre/In a submission to a parliamentary enquiry into digital surveillance, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission has argued there is no legitimate reason for using encrypted communications and that such tools are used almost exclusively by criminals. In a submission that seemed to ignore Apple Messages, WhatsApp, Signal, and other everyday encrypted communication tools used by millions of Australians, the ACIC in no way made a distinction between other dedicated forms of criminal communication. In a statement to iTnews, however, ACIC did clarify it was focused on very specific tools in its argument. Hopefully it explains that to parliament better next time too.https://www.itnews.com.au/news/crims-using-encrypted-platforms-almost-exclusively-acic-claims-564255Social audio service Clubhouse has now launched on Android after a year of exclusive access for iOS users. After a lot of attention at the start of 2021 which slowed in recent months as Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Discord have all launched similar services, the Android launch maintains the platform's invite-only focus. Whether it's too little, too late will be seen in coming weeks.https://www.joinclubhouse.com/blog/welcome-android-usersIn what sounds like a meme but is apparently very real, SpaceX has announced it will launch a lunar mission in 2022 named DOGE-1, which the Elon Musk led space company says is being funded entirely by Dogecoin. The mission will send a cubesat payload into lunar orbit, but details on why remain vague. The press release says Geometric Energy Corporation is the organisation funding the mission.https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/spacex-to-launch-doge-1-to-the-moon-301287016.htmlIn more substantial science, researchers at the US National Institute for Standards and Technology have observed the effects of quantum entanglement at a macroscopic level. A pair of tiny aluminium drums, one-fifth the width of a human hair – positively gargantuan in quantum terms – were seen to move in a highly correlated fashion that could only be explained by entanglement.

Welcome to Bits, your daily tech news bulletin, for Friday, May 7, I'm Seamus Byrne.IBM has today revealed the first 2nm microchips have been produced as part of the ongoing race to shrink chips ever smaller. Using the Extreme Ultra Violet production technique has enabled the continued scaling down beyond 7nm sizes, which TSMC has dominated in recent years as it has pushed to 5nm and 3nm processes. IBM says it expects the 2nm chip to give 45% more performance at the same power level as a 7nm chip, or use 75% of the energy at the same performance levels.https://www.anandtech.com/show/16656/ibm-creates-first-2nm-chipThe Tokyo Olympics has announced it will have a Twitch channel for this year's games. In an extension of its partnership with US broadcaster NBC, a channel will run on Amazon-owned Twitch during the games, including live broadcasts, highlight shows, and Olympic-themed games and competitions featuring other Twitch creators. It doesn't seem so long ago the Olympics wanted to ban every form of streaming possible, so this effort to reach a younger audience that doesn't care about linear TV will be an interesting experiment.https://www.adweek.com/media/nbc-olympics-twitch-team-up-on-150-hours-of-content-from-tokyo-2020/Twitter is trialling a new Tip Jar feature for users to be able to add a tipping payment option to let followers to drop them some fiscal encouragement. Tip Jar supports Bandcamp, Cash App, Patreon, PayPal and Venmo, and Twitter takes no cut of the tip. The tipping option is inside a user profile view, but Twitter says it will also be available directly from within a Twitter Spaces session. Right now it's limited to certain users to switch it on but anyone will be able to send tips to those lucky folks starting today.https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2021/introducing-tip-jar.htmlLots of space news lately, and this latest is a big one, with news NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab is funding a phase two of research into creating a Lunar Crater Radio Telescope on the far side of the moon. As part of NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program, the concept is exploring sending robots to the moon to build a telescope out of wire mesh suspended across a giant crater, which would be shielded from Earth's radiation and potentially reach back into the darkest history of the universe.https://www.cnet.com/news/nasa-thinks-that-giant-moon-crater-telescope-idea-might-work/In videogames, the Epic vs Apple court case has revealed some future plans at Epic Games for its Rocket League franchise that will see the full game head to mobile. We already know about Sideswipe after its recent announcement, which is a 2D version of the game designed just for mobile play. But a 2021 planning presentation revealed in the court fight suggests a rebuild of the core game will see the main Rocket League become a full cross-play experience – Epic pulled it off with Fortnite, so it makes sense it can make it happen for Rocket League too.https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rocket-league-could-be-coming-to-mobile-in-addition-to-spin-off-game-leaked-epic-games-doc-shows/1100-6491100/In tabletop games, Magic The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons have teamed up more than once already – they're owned by the same company, of course – but we'll soon hear more about the first full D&D themed Magic set. Instead of a Core set for the collectible card game this year the game will get 'Adventures in the Forgotten Realms' in its place. We've also now heard there will be four new Commander decks designed around the new set, so there will be a LOT of ways to explore the crossover.

Get the new daily Byteside newsletter with all this and more at newsletter.byteside.com.The ACCC has given authorisation for Country Press Australia to collectively negotiate with Facebook and Google to receive payments for their news content appearing on their digital platforms. The authorisation allows the group of 160 regional newspapers to engage in discussions together as well as share information on their individual negotiations with the search engine and social network. The authorisation also lets the ACCC avoid moving to a 'designation' step that would start a clock ticking under the media bargaining code that could lead to Facebook walking away from Australia again given its previous comments about its preference to leave rather than be forced into any binding agreement here.In local battles against scammers, late last week the Australian Federal Police announced it has conducted searches of a business in Wollongong, NSW, to investigate fake tech support services that are allegedly being used to access computers remotely and force victims to buy useless software to fix problems they created on the device. The investigation is part of Operation Rayko, an ongoing effort to takedown these fake Microsoft support services.Overseas, the EU has charged Apple with anti-trust violations, arguing that it has given its own music service an advantage over competitors by forcing them to use its payment system and taking a cut of their fees. The argument points to an unfair market where Apple can charge a certain price but for a Spotify to compete at the same price it is earning less money because of the 30% charge it is required to give to Apple. The argument seems targeted toward allowing alternate payment gateways in App Store ecosystems.Up on Mars, the success of the first four flights of NASA's Mars Ingenuity helicopter has led to the helicopter being given a new mission. Its original month long testing program is being extended a further month, with new tests aiming to explore its capacity to scout ahead of the Perseverance rover and help it identify targets for soil and rock sample collection to be stored for collection and a return trip in future for lab analysis back on Earth.Elsewhere in US space programs, NASA has told SpaceX to halt work on the US$2.9 billion contracts it was awarded to develop a lunar lander system for the Artemis missions. Billionaire battles seem to be brewing as Jeff Bezos owned Blue Origin protested the contract that was award to Elon Musk's SpaceX, with another company, Dynetics, also protesting the deal. America's Government Accountability Office will examine the contract award process and decide on whether changes should be made. Jeff Bezos has made a number of complaints regarding government contracts that were awarded during the Trump era as excluding his companies due to Trump's personal animosity toward Bezos.In video games, Riot Games, maker of League of Legends and Valorant, has updated its privacy policy to allow it to record in-game voice chat. The company says the aim is to crack down on harassment in its games, and it promises to only listen to audio recordings as part of responding to reports being filed for abusive behaviour and hate speech. The company says if you don't want to be recorded, you will need to turn off your use of voice chat.Finally, from esports results over the weekend, the Rocket League Championship Series Oceanic Major crowned its winner with Perth's Ground Zero taking out the title over Cringe Society in a clean sweep final, dropping just a single round through the entire finals series.
