Tech News
- Why don't people use formal methods?
Because 95% of the time there isn't even a proper requirements doc.
- The Orange Pi 3 is a competitor to you-know-what. (Tom's Hardware)
Made by Shenzhen Xunlong Software (who?) so of course you'd want to integrate it into your next security-critical IOT prototype.
- Sun's new EPYC-based Ultra 24 workstation. (Serve the Home)
Okay, there may have been a few aftermarket upgrades. Like, everything except the case.

Social Media News
- CNIL (who?) has fined Google 50 million Euros for GDPR violations.

There is always a hypothosis.
One of the current one's for Hoags object is the remains of colliding galaxies.
