• Chinese spy network TikTok is probably dead.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  The Supreme Court heard arguments from both TikTok and the Department of Justice, but seemed disinclined to intervene in the January 19th deadline for the company to divest or be shut down.
  
  TikTok argued that divestment was impossible because the Chinese government would never permit foreign control of network's recommendation algorithm - and also that the US subsidiary has the final say over such matters.  The company also claimed that it does not operate in China, which is true insofar as it goes, because TikTok, a Chinese social network, is banned in China.

• Asus has announced the ExpertCenter PN54, a new mini-PC based on AMD's new Krackan Point chips.  (WCCFTech)
  
  These chips have four Zen 5 cores running at 5GHz, and four Zen 5c cores running at 3.5GHz.  Zen 5c is functionally identical to Zen 5 but built using a more compact design, so it executes exactly the same instructions in exactly the same number of clock cycles, but runs more slowly.
  
  And eight RDNA 3.5 graphics cores.
  
  So overall it's not an improvement over the previous generation (like the 8845HS) but might possibly be cheaper maybe.
  
  Also, this model includes user-upgradeable SO-DIMM memory (along with two M.2 slots, two 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, two DisplayPort ports, HDMI, and USB4).
  
  Which makes me wonder: Does the memory controller on the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 also support socketed memory?  Four channels of it?  384GB of it?
  
  That all of AMD's other mobile chips support socketed memory suggests that it might.
  
  
  
• The problem with running AMD's faster laptop chips with socketed RAM is that they have fast integrated graphics and need lots of memory bandwidth, and socketed DDR5 RAM is slower than soldered LPDDR5X.
  
  Or at least that used to be the case.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  G.Skill has announced 8133MHz DDR5 CSODIMMS - the "C" stands for clock, since these modules have a clock generator chip added to them to improve stability at such a high speed.
  
  We don't know if these modules might be compatible with AMD's latest laptop chips, but it's an interesting thing to consider.

  King Matt said - paraphrasing - that just because Automattic owns WordPress and makes all its money off it, doesn't mean that it should be expected to do any work to update or maintain the software.  Also that he only beats us because he loves us.
  
  If Automattic goes through with this, WordPress is dead and will be forked by the community.

• The Pilet 5 and Pilet 7, two handheld computers from another dimension, launched as a Kickstarter project two days ago.  There must be a lot of people visiting here from that dimension because the project hit its funding goal in five minutes.  (Kickstarter)
  
  They're not cheap because so far they're only planning to make a thousand or so of them, and you have to add a Raspberry Pi 5 yourself, but they do look very cool in a retrofuturistic kind of way.
  
  So far the larger Pilet 7 takes a Bluetooth keyboard and not the physical add-ons that we've seen pictured with the handmade prototypes, but those are planned if the project hits $1 million in funding.  And since it's reached $578,000 in just two days that seems pretty likely.
  
  I'll keep an eye on this one.  I have a Pi 5 so that expense is already covered.

• Divide FLOPs by four and multiple dollars by two.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Raja Koduri - former head of AMD's Radeon division - talking about Nvidia's Project DIGITS desktop supercomputer.  It starts at $3000 and promises 1 petaFLOPs of AI compute - at 4 bits of precision - but according to Koduri once you start looking at more general purpose tasks the performance is closer to that of a $250 Intel B580.
  
  
  
• Speaking of Intel AMD is blaming their competitor for shortages of the Ryzen 9800X3D.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Specifically that Intel's latest CPUs are so bad that everyone is now buying AMD instead.  And since AMD's 9000 series before the 9800X3D was kind of underwhelming - since fixed with price cuts - everyone wants the 9800X3D specifically.
  
  AMD announced the 9900X3D and 9950X3D at CES, so maybe there will be more chips available for purchase soon.
  
  
  
• Minisforum has also announced a Ryzen 370 mini-PC with upgradeable RAM.  (Liliputing)
  
  I noticed this a few days ago with Geekom, and wondered if it was real, because I didn't think the Ryzen 370 supported regular SODIMMS - only soldered LPDDR5X.  
  
  But apparently I was wrong because Minisforum already has a Ryzen 370 mini-PC with soldered RAM, and is now releasing a new model with socketed RAM - up to 96GB of it.
  
  In addition to that it has three M.2 slots, two USB4 ports, two 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, OCuLink for an external GPU, a built-in power supply, a fingerprint scanner recessed into the top of the case, and...  We don't know.  A couple more USB ports at least, and a couple of video ports of some description, but the exact tech specs have not been listed yet.
  
  The one catch is that with DDR5-5600 instead of LPDDR5X-7500 the GPU performance will suffer.  You get the full GPU but the RAM likely won't be fast enough to keep it fed.
  
  So graphics will probably run like the 8840HS (which definitely ships with regular DDR5) but the CPU will easily outpace the older chip.
  
  
  
• TikTok staff affected by the Los Angeles fires will have to take time off from work if they can't work from home because they don't have one anymore.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  That is how things usually work, isn't it?  The sense that I'm not the unreasonable one here is reinforced when the article goes on to complain that sick TikTok workers have to use their sick days when they can't go into the office because they are sick.
  
  
  
• Scale AI, which is not an AI company at all but a people farm, is being sued - again - because it classes its staff as contractors rather than employees and only pays then $15 per hour instead of the California minimum of $16.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  Which if true is extremely stupid on Scale AI's part, because saving one dollar per hour only to risk a lawsuit that is extremely likely to succeed because the state government nets 75% of any penalties seems like a poor business plan.

• HP has announced a mini-PC (well, mini-ish anyway) based on AMD's new Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395.  (Liliputing)
  
  The Z2 Mini G1a is a desktop version of the ZBook Ultra 14 G1a.  So it has up to 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, 40 RDNA 3.5 graphics cores, and 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM.
  
  The desktop model supports two M.2 2280 SSDs, up to three Ethernet ports, two USB4 ports, two mini-DisplayPort ports, and four regular USB ports.
  
  Prices should start around $1200 for a slower model with less memory.

• AMD announced about seven thousand new (and "new") mobile CPUs at CES.  (Ars Technica)
  
  These start with the Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 at the high end, with sixteen Zen 5 cores and 40 RDNA 3.5 graphics cores, and go all the way down to the Ryzen 3 210, which "only" has four Zen 4 cores - three of which are the somewhat slower Zen 4c - and four RDNA 3 graphics cores.
  
  Which is still reasonably fast, true.
  
  
  
• Meanwhile Nvidia announced the new RTX 5000 family and lied about the performance.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  The new RTX 5070 is claimed to be as fast as an RTX 4090, but if you dig into the details it turns out they are literally doubling the numbers produced by the 5070.
  
  With the new AI frame generation, it generates three fake frames for each real one, which makes games smoother at the expense of being 75% bullshit.
  
  Pricing starts at $550 for the 5070 and goes up to $2000 for the 5090.

• HP announced the new ZBook Ultra 14 G1a with AMD's new Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395.  (Notebook Check)
  
  Depending on the options, it can have up to 128GB of RAM - and allocate up to 96GB of that to the GPU if you are doing AI work, which is a cheap way to get a GPU with a huge amount of RAM.
  
  The RAM is soldered and 128GB is going to be expensive, but it is available as an option.
  
  Other than that you get a 14" 2880x1800 120Hz OLED panel, up to 4TB of SSD, two USB4 ports - one on each side, which is convenient, two other USB ports, HDMI, and a headphone jack.
  
  Prices not announced yet but expected to start at $1500.
  
  Oh, and it almost has the Four Essential Keys.  The Home key is shared with F12, but I don't really use F12 anymore since Chrome remapped the Dev Tools.

  And - this is the interesting part - two SODIMM slots for DDR5-5600 memory.
  
  Which according to my understanding was not supported at all by the Ryzen 370 family, and is the only time I've seen socketed DDR5 memory paired with these chips.
  
  Unless the spec sheet is wrong.

• SpaceX is planning another test flight of Starship this month with a payload of dummy Starlink V3 satellites on board.  (Tech Crunch)

• Speaking of Starlink, the new Starlink Mini dish is available.  (CNet)
  
  It's only 13"x17" and weighs a svelte 2.4lbs.  The regular Starlink is 15"x23" and weighs 6.4lbs.  Which is not much at all if it's sitting on your roof, but the Mini is designed to go where you do.
  
  
  
• The Raspberry Pi 5 is getting a 16GB model.  (Notebook Check)
  
  Possibly as soon as this week.
  
  This isn't officially official just yet, but Raspberry Pi have said that they intend to offer a 16GB version of the Pi 5 Compute Module (CM5) this year.
  
  
  
• With 16GB of RAM and an optional M.2 hat, the Pi 5 starts to get expensive, matching the price but not the performance of low-end mini-PCs.  But you probably don't want to get a Beelink GTi12 in its place.  (Serve the Home)
  
  It does have a PCIe slot - sort of - and you can use it with Beelink's new graphics card dock.  And the Core i9 12900H CPU is no slouch even if it's a couple of generations old, and it comes with dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports.
  
  The problem is getting access to the insides.  On my AMD-based Beelink systems, you remove the bottom cover and the memory slots and M.2 slot are right there.  It takes less than a minute to upgrade the hardware; a lot longer to reinstall the operating system if you replace the M.2 drive.
  
  On the GTi12 though, there are more than 20 screws and brackets to remove before you get down to the memory.  Unless you buy it in the exact configuration you want, that's not going to be fun.

• Net Neutrality is dead.  Again.  (Reuters)  (archive site)
  
  The FCC's long-running smash-and-grab attempt to enforce Net Neutrality rules by classifying ISPs as Title II common services looks to have been killed off for good by the Sixth Circuit ruling that ISPs are Title I information services, and that given the Supreme Court's Loper Bright decision nullifying Chevron deference, the FCC can fold its regulations until they are all sharp corners and shove them where the sun don't shine.
  
  Given that the Republicans are going to be taking over the FCC in a couple of weeks, there is unlikely to be an appeal; even the commies running the show right now have given up.
  
  Not that Net Neutrality is inherently bad, rather that categorising ISPs as Title II carriers hands all the power to a different bunch of crooks without actually fixing anything.

  The biggest problem is that even when you have a passkey you need to set up a password first.  And you have to have a recovery mechanism because you're going to forget your password.  So adding a passkey, right now, makes you less secure, not more.
