At Night The Ice Weasels Come Edition
At Night The Ice Weasels Come Edition
Tech News
- Samsung's Exynos 980 is a mid-range smartphone CPU with the brand new A77 core. (AnandTech)
First one I've seen. Also, 5G.
- Acer's Predator Triton 500 has PgUp/PgDn/Home/End keys. (AnandTech)
Oh, and someone mentioned something about a 300Hz display but I wasn't really listening.
- Thought YouTube's content policies were bad before? Well, now the government has got involved. (Tech Crunch)
If you create "child directed content" on YouTube and don't specifically mark it as such, you could have personal liability under COPPA for what YouTube does with your content.
Simple solution: Mark everything as "child directed".
- Maesh is a service mesh built on Traefik for Kubernetes clusters. (Medium)
Installing Maesh to your cluster is easy: install the Helm chart, as there are no helper applications, no CRDs to install, and no new vocabulary for users to learn. If users understand how pods and services work, then Maesh will be easy to understand and use.
No, you're not having a stroke. I have no idea what that means either. Glad to hear there's no new vocabulary at least.
- AMD is working on a BIOS fix for Ryzen 3000's low boost clocks. (WCCFTech)
There is apparently a specific issue that can be patched, and it's not just underperforming chips.
- Serverless to cgi-bin is an extension for Chrome and Firefox that does precisely what its name would suggest. (GitHub)
- The Internet of Things is all about giving end users control over their own sorry I can't even type that with a straight face. (ZDNet)
What? Just because you bought something you thought you owned it?
- USB4 is ready and coming to devices next year. (ZDNet)
This is basically USB 3.2, which already exists, plus optional Thunderbolt 3, which has been shipping since 2015.
It supports 40Gbps, but it's not clear if that's only in the optional Thunderbolt mode or if it's also available in USB mode.
Disclaimer: A taxonomy and cladogram of isekai would make an interesting masters' thesis.

Ryzen: the first few sites to report on this made it sound like a BIOS would be available next week. No, AMD's going to provide a status update next week. That doesn't mean they'll have something ready to release to the motherboard vendors, and definitely doesn't mean there will be BIOS updates by then.
I hope this works, though. It would be nice to get the rated boost clocks.

"Me? I'm putting my devices in the Alexa camp and going forward am only
going to consider Amazon-based devices and accessories such as smart
plugs and integrated light switches. That company is a lot of things,
but I'm not expecting Amazon to throw all their customers under the bus
like Google just did."
LOL. All he's doing is moving from one walled garden to another, because Amazon hasn't shafted people yet the way Google has.

One commenter said "[w]hat has always annoyed me is to unify all the devices I must use Google or Echo."
I wonder if you could just buy the cheapest device and rip out the mic.
