• Cloudflare has announced its new open-source operating system, Cloudflare OS. (Phoronix)
  
  It is not an operating system.

• China's CXMT aims to have 30% of global DRAM market share by 2030. (Tom's Hardware)

  Didn't I already run a story on this?
  
  
  
• Only you can make book by helping stamp out forest fires. (Ars Technica)
  
  I'll take a quinella on fire or no fire.
