- Quick one because reasons.
- Rooftop solar can work - in Australia. (New York Times)
And in Arizona, and the Sahara Desert, yes. Thanks.
- Europe's General Court squish a billion-dollar antitrust fine levied by the EU against Qualcomm. (Reuters)
Not a huge fan of Qualcomm, though hardware companies are much less annoying than software companies overall, but not a fan of the EU at all. So, good.
- We put half a million files in one Git repository. Here's what we learned. (Canva Engineering)
Don't do that.
- Benchmarks for a 4nm Zen 4 laptop chip appear to have leaked. (WCCFTech)
Ryzen 7000 for laptops isn't expected to arrive until next year; we've already had a Ryzen 6000 update this year, still on Zen 3 CPU cores but with dramatically better integrated graphics.

God bless the enter key, the tab key, the notion of "next field" and "post comment" and all the little insects that live in the trees, FFS. I was going to make fun of the Canva article by stating that "We Put Half of a Million Files In One Git Repository, (and) Here's What We Learned" five tims in my opening paragraph because why can't these college educated dundermoogles write? Does the modern equivalent of Strunk & White (spit) outright tell these idiots to repeat themselves like a chirpy little . . . you know, I'm just going to stop.

Pixy, on your June 2 post, I asked a question about what BBCodes work properly over at Ace of Spades HQ. Didn't get an answer - probably because you're stuck in "moving hell".
In short: Italics open/close BBcode tags work just fine there, but quote tags don't, and I'm looking for the BBCode guide for Ace's site that covers what tags do work. They don't have a help page like you do either.
I'm trying to avoid having to hand-code/edit html for every comment. That's a whole lot of opportunities for me to screw up and I'm trying to avoid that, especially given they don't have a preview button over there.
