- A deep dive into AMD's Threadripper 3960X and 3970X. (AnandTech)
Conclusion page title: "History is Written By The Victors".
- A shallow dive into Intel's i9-10980XE.
Conclusion page title: "More 14nm+++, No 10nm in Sight".
- The fourth what? Never heard of it. (TechDirt)
Don't buy a Ring video doorbell.
- The EU has told the US not to ban strong encryption. (TechDirt)
Honestly, encryption is far more likely to be banned in Europe than in the US.
- Google has started firing the worst of their idiots. (Venturebeat)
Bite the hand that feeds you often enough and even Google will notice there's something going on.
Google is still run by idiots though. I'm not convinced they woke up to the hand-biting before contracting rabies, mange, and some strange variant of infectious porphyria.
- Intel has launched the 665p, an update to their QLC 660p M.2 SSD. (AnandTech)
These have been out for a while now and there have been no more horror stories than with any SSD, so it looks like they're safe for regular desktop use. The 665p is only about 10% faster than its predecessor, but offers 50% more rated endurance. Whether that's a physical difference or just a more precise characterisation of the NAND flash is not clear.
Anyway, I'm probably going to buy a couple of these, because at least in Australia they're half the price of brand-name TLC SSDs.

Bonus Video of the Day
This loops after a while. Its video wallpaper rather than an animated story, but it's really nice video wallpaper.

"ban strong encryption"
Sigh. This discussion's been going on since the 90s and not getting anywhere.

"Rivers took part in a protest with more than 100 people Friday outside Google offices in San Francisco where fellow Googlers demanded she be allowed to return to work."
I hope Google fires everyone in that protest.
