- LGA4677 is coming with PCIe 5.0. (AnandTech)
In 2021. So don't hold your breath.

Its first task is to work out why they should care in the slightest about smuggling across the border in Ireland after Brexit.
- A Ryzen 3750X? Really? (Tom's Hardware)
There isn't much room for it to distinguish itself unless (as the article suggests) this has two dies and thus 64MB of L3 cache.

- GitLab gets antiwoke. (The Register)
GitLab's CEO says the company doesn't care if they disagree with customers morally, so long as they follow the law.
The writer of the article seems to think this is somehow a bad thing.
Disclaimer: Yes, it's a slime mold. Whenever you see one of those "bizarre creature can survive being cut in half" stories it's always a slime mold. But then, so is the faculty of Oberlin College.
