Tech News
- Lenovo's Tab V7 is a reasonably-priced 7" phoneblet. (Android Central)
6.95" 2160x1080 screen, Snapdragon 450 (eight core A53, 1.8GHz), 3/32GB or 4/64GB, USB-C, headphone jack, LTE, and just one camera each on the front and back. 5180mAh battery, total weight 195g.
€249 for the base model, price not yet given for the 4/64GB model.
It's not anything special design-wise, but with the lack of compelling small tablets lately it might be worth taking a look. I'd prefer 1920x1200 (as on the 2013 Nexus 7, which I still have and still works), but a wider screen makes it hard to thumb-type.
- The semiconductor industry will need new resist chemistries if it is to reach the 1nm process node. (EETimes)
Well, that's a bit of a down - wait, 1nm?
"But", you say, "1nm is only five silicon atoms wide. How can they do that?"
The answer is surprisingly simple, and uses a technique known to the semiconductor industry since the beginning. It's a lie. Nothing about the 1nm node is actually 1nm. But since nothing about the current 7nm process is actually 7nm, this doesn't matter as much as you might expect.
- Update your ColdFusion deployments now! (Bleeping Computer)
People still use ColdFusion? Well, Supermicro does. I was pasting in the links yesterday and I was all "Dot c-f-m? Seriously?"
- Japan's SDF tells SJWs to get bent, says Strike Witches is awesome. (One Angry Gamer)
"Also, they are wearing pants."
- Space X launches a dragon into orbit. (Ars Technica)
Nothing about launching dragons into space could possibly turn out badly.
- Facebook is finally shutting down its Onavo bullshit spyware free VPN. (TechDirt)
This comes after Apple yanked a similar Facebook bullshit spyware free VPN from the App Store and revoked Facebook's enterprise certificate.
