Pre-CES Nap Edition

Top Story

  • In its ongoing effort to make YouTube look like a company run by competent adults, Twitch, which only last month relaxed rules to permit "artistic nudity" before reversing itself the next day, has now banned pretending to be nude.  (PC Magazine)

    Twitch is a terrible platform run by idiots; the only reason I use it at all is that Amazon (owner of Twitch) has copyright agreements allowing streamers to use music and video content that would result in an instant ban on YouTube, so Pippa sometimes streams there.

Tech News

  • Not much tech news right now.  CES is next week so everything will probably land all at once the day before.


  • You can actually see the board of this motherboard.  (Serve the Home)

    It's common for every square millimeter of surface to be crammed full of either components or heatsinks, but this server board from Gigabyte manages to fit in a 64-core CPU, 12 DIMM slots, four x16 PCIe slots, two M.2 slots, and all the other necessities, while leaving enough bare blue PCB to sail a very small yacht.


  • How do jellyfish replace lost tentacles in a matter of days?  (Technology Networks)

    Amazon Japan.

    Speaking of which, my Christmas present to myself just shipped from Amazon US.  I bought the complete box set of The Art of Computer Programming, because while I already have the first three volumes (somewhere), the full set was almost the same price as just buying the two new volumes.

    At least I'm pretty sure it will be here by Christmas.
