- WiFi 6 is here. (AnandTech)
It's one better than WiFi 5.
- Cerebras, the company that built that enormous 400,000 core AI processor, has partnered with the Department of Energy to build supercomputers based on it. (Tom's Hardware)
Could be interesting. A rack full of these would draw about a megawatt.
- Intel's Tiger Lake will be a quad-core 3.4GHz part. (Tom's Hardware)
Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
- Building an active-backplane 32-bay 2.5" NAS system? Onda has the motherboard for you. (Tom's Hardware)
Looks like it has room for 15mm drive height too.
- The witch hunt came for Richard Stallman. (Hacker News)
He's resigned from the FSF because who needs that kind of shit.
Here's the typical garbage article written about the events, which manages to get every major fact wrong. (ZDNet)
While I often link to ZDNet, that particular writer has never, to my knowledge, written anything that wasn't a complete mess.
- GitLab has received $268 million in Series E funding. (Tech Crunch)
I use GitLab. It's good, and keeps getting better. It is pretty resource-intensive, though, and the hardware requirements keep increasing.
- Employees accuse companies of using IT to increase productivity and improve corporate profitability. (ZDNet)
On second thought, let's not read that article. It is a silly piece.
