Mining All The Crafts Second Edition Edition
Anime of the day is Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid from 2017. It's the story of Kobayashi, a horribly overworked Python programmer, who gets drunk one night and pulls a sword out of a dragon and invites it to come stay at her place.
Which it does.
Chaos ensues. But it's the very best chaos. Hand-picked artisanal chaos from the ancient chaos fields of the Andes.
I've posted this one before, but it's good enough to bear another watch.

Top Story
- The death toll from the massive Bat Flu outbreak that has paralysed Sydney and most of the state of New South Wales rose sharply overnight.
To two.
- AMD's Threadripper 5000 is expected to launch in August. (WCCFTech)
This upgrades the platform from Zen 2 and PCIe 3.0 to Zen 3 and PCIe 4.0, and also doubles the size of the L3 cache.
This should provide a healthy performance boost for the 24 and 32 core models, but judging by the new Epyc CPUs the high-end 64 core models will be thermally constrained and won't do much better than the older parts.
- Speaking of being thermally constrained, my PC just overheated and crashed because it forgot to spin up its fan. So I get to type all this in again.

Tech News
- Do not Google the term "rainbow dildo butt monkey".
- OpenSearch has reached 1.0. (OpenSearch)
OpenSearch takes the last Apache-licensed released of Elasticsearch, fixes it, and ships it with advanced features like... Security.
Elasticsearch roasted its own goat by refusing for years to include even the most basic authentication methods in their open source release, resulting in a string of massive data breaches. At one point this was happening every couple of days, all caused by one obviously stupid decision.
- SolarWinds has patched a critical vulnerability being actively exploited. (Bleeping Computer)
No, not that one. Another one.
- Don't ever buy an iPhone. (ZDNet)
...

...
In July.
Oh. Don't ever buy an iPhone in July. Okay. Think I've got that covered. No worries.
- Plans are afoot to open a nuclear-powered Bitcoin mining facility in Pennsylvania. (Tom's Hardware)
Okay. Fine. Seriously, go for it.
- The Salton Sea could fill 40% of the world's demand for lithium. (Motherboard)
For batteries, that is. There's not enough lithium in the solar system to stabilise the woke left.
The advantage is that the Salton Sea - created by accident in 1905 - is already a highly toxic disaster area, so mining it for lithium is unlikely to make things much worse.
