- What the hell happened to ZDNet? (ZDNet)
Everything about this is bad.

- Buttons and bows: Better control surfaces at a reasonable price with Loupedeck. (Tom's Hardware)
I have a Stream Deck, which gives me 32 individually programmable buttons - each one with a little colour LCD built into it. Loupedeck goes one better by adding things other than buttons - knobs, sliders, and dials to be specific.
- TSMC beings production of 3nm chips next month. (Tom's Hardware)
Right on schedule.
AMD is set to start shipping 5nm chips made by TSMC next month, so it might be a while before 3nm lands in your PC.
- A parasitological evaluation of edible insects and their role in the transmission of parasitic diseases to humans and animals, or, do not eat the bugs. (PLOS)
Do not.
- Broadcom has announced a 64-port 800Gb Ethernet switch chip. (Serve the Home)
Is that a lot? That seems like a lot.
- If you have a router with a Realtek RTL819x you should unplug it right now, kill it with an axe, and set the pieces on fire. (Bleeping Computer)
A firmware bug allows attackers to break in even if you have everything set up securely. There have been patches out since March but they may or may not have been released for your device.
So how do you know if your router has a Realtek RTL819x? Well, that's the neat thing. You don't.

Yeah, I took one look at ZDNET's new front page design yesterday, went "NOPE!" and went off to find a new news site. It's utterly unusable and total crap. If you want mobile friendly designs, than target them at mobile devices. Don't try to force mobile designs onto desktops. IT DOESN'T WORK.

Rephrased "We are moving to a glorious new future with our 'authentic' brand of gross incompetence, and our senior management spending all their time drinking themselves into a coma. Hope you were not planning to use our services for anything."
Typical user reaction "If management really was comatose from ethanol poisoning, the organization would actually be better off, and the services would be closer to useful."
