- Where is AMD's 16 core Ryzen oh there it is.
Apparently a 16 core Ryzen engineering sample is at the show but not officially part of AMD's announcement. So it already exists and will ship when the moment is right.
- Google: Incompetent or malicious or both? (Thurrott.com)
It's apparently too hard for Google to handle both Edge and Edg as user agents. If only they had tens of thousands of software engineers...
- It's starting to look very much like the latter. (Bloomberg)
Sure, Chromium is open source, since it's based on KHTML. But that doesn't mean Google won't find a way to screw you over.
- Even if you're not building your own browser and just want to create fast standards-compliant websites Google are right there with you, fucking everything up. (Trib.tv)
- Meanwhile GNU Hyperbole is the single greatest work of art in the history of the Universe. (Reddit)
Either that, or it eats live babies. One of those.
- Intel announced the Optane M15 with capacities up to 64GB. (Tom's Hardware)
Good job Intel. Well done. That's almost enough for Windows 10 if you don't plan to install any apps.
- TeamCity now integrates with GitLab. (JetBrains)
I use JetBrains IDEs all the time except that they don't support Crystal yet, but haven't looked at TeamCity, which their CI and issue tracking tool. I'm not sure it does anything that GitLab doesn't already do for me.
- Fat chance, Huawei. (ZDNet)
- Microsoft announced Modern OS and its plans to kill the project by the end of 2023 without ever releasing anything. (Thurrott.com)
Okay, I might have read between the lines slightly there.
- Twitter banned journalist Nick Monroe for its usual standby reason of evading a previous ban. (One Angry Gamer)
If they don't like you, they will ban you. One way or another.
- Oh look Twitter banned someone who wasn't conservative. (TechDirt)
That proves everything is fine according to TechDirt.
Disclaimer: It's not fine.

Google has long since thrown away any entitlement to the benefit of the doubt--especially after that article a few weeks ago about YT killing IE 6.
Furthermore, when you can edit the browser string in F12 tools so it doesn't say "Edge" or "Edg" and hit refresh and the page displays the new way again like it did before Saturday or whenever, you know it was on purpose.
Somewhere in the last few years, Microsoft's JS engine turned into garbage performance-wise, and the rendering engine in general seemed to slow down as well. Had they fixed that, and not taken years to reintroduce features lost when Edge split from IE, they probably could've kept the browser alive and maybe even gained share.
