- The Humble Painter bundle has Painter. (Humble Bundle)
Formerly Fractal Design, now Corel. The $25 bundle also includes PaintShop Pro 2020 and Pinnacle Studio 23, plus a bunch of plugins.
- AMD's server market shar is epxected to grow tenfold from 2017 to 2020 - to 10%. (Tom's Hardware)
Sio, yeah, their marketshare was not in great shape before the Ryzen launch.
- Kazakhstan took down 93,000 websites to block just one. (TechDirt)
Who do they think they are, Australia?
- bootRogue is a Roguelike game that fits in a boot sector.
It has 26 different monsters, armour and weapons, food, sort of gold, at least 26 dungeon levels (there can be more), and the Amulet of Yendor - in 510 bytes.
- TSMC is telling clients to book 7nm production a year in advance due to high demand. (Tom's Hardware)
This may be a big advantage for their 5nm process. It's not a lot faster, and it doesn't use much less power, but it is a lot smaller. They get nearly twice as many dies per wafer, all else being equal.
- DARPA is working on 10 terabit networking. (Tech Crunch)
Achieving that will require rethinking every layer of the network stack. Also, I don't know how they'd connect it to rest of the system. 128 lanes of 112G SERDES? That at least is a thing that exists.
- HTTP 1, 2, and 3.
HTTP 3 abandons TCP for UDP because building an entire new error-checking protocol is easier than fixing TCP.
Disclaimer: Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows. Also, since the data breach, Russia, China, and probably North Korea.
