- The USB Promoter Group announced the announcement of the release of the USB4 spec. (AnandTech)
The spec itself is expected to be announced by the middle of the year. It's "based on" Thunderbolt 3, but the announcement of what that means hasn't been announced yet. Expensive cables is a good bet, though.
With this, USB 3.2 Gen 1 will be renamed USB4 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 2 will become USB4 Gen 2, and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 will become USB4 Gen 2x2. The new speed will be named USB4 Gen 4x4.
Or maybe not. Who knows? These guys have all the branding sense of Supermicro.
- The University of California told Elsevier to take a hike. (TechDirt)
Elsevier is the Engulf and Devour of the academic publishing world, so this is significant.
- SPOILER is yet another speculative execution flaw in Intel CPUs. (The Register)
Though it's not clear how significant it is. Reportedly it doesn't affect Arm or AMD CPUs.

- Failed French President Macron calls for the establishment of the European Socialist Soviet Republic.
Seriously, this guy is Stalin without the charisma.

BTW I just discovered that when you use ctrl-C to paste text into the text box, FF still jumps to the top of the page--but if you just type another character, like the " to close the quote, it jumps back down to the text box, so there's that at least.
