Tech News
- Gigabyte's Aorus X570 Xtreme has 10Gb Ethernet, WiFi 6, three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, and no fan. (AnandTech)
But cheap it ain't.
If you want a high-end AM4 motherboard without a chipset fan - and you have $700 burning a hole in your pocket - this looks like it may be the way to go.
- Alleged rumours speculate that Microsoft might potentially be considering the possibility of using 6 and 8 core Ryzen CPUs for the Surface Laptop 3. (PC Perspective)
AMD has already released a 45W 8 core part, the 2700E, and that was on 12nm, so 7nm could do even better.
- An increase in US tariffs on technology imported from China has been postponed until August of 2020. (Tom's Hardware)
- By pure coincidence, Apple announced it will continue to produce the new Mac Pro in the US and not move production to China as previously planned. (Tom's Hardware)
- Xiaomi's Mi Mix Alpha has a 180% screen to body ratio. (Tech Crunch)
The screen wraps around both sides onto the back, but there's an opaque strip for the cameras and buttons. The cameras include a 12MP zoom, a 20MP wide angle, and a 108MP main sensor.
It has a Snapdrago 855+, 12GB RAM, and 512GB of UFS 3.0 flash. The 7.92" AMOLED screen is made of sapphire glass and the frame is titanium alloy.
No headphone jack though. Also it will cost $2800.
- In a surprise move, the EU recognised that the EU's jurisdiction is restricted to the EU. (Hacker News)
Specifically with the fictitious "right to be forgotten" in this case.
However, individual EU member states can still choose to act like complete idiots and probably will.
- Nim turns 1.0. (ZDNet)
Nim is a Pythony language that compiles via C or JavaScript to native code.
- Crystal meanwhile has released version 0.31.0.
Crystal is a Rubyish language built on LLVM that compiles directly to native code. I like it a lot.
This release has the new threading model and several other enhancements.
- Twitter banned Twitter. (Twitter)
