  The answer is, quite a lot.  (AnandTech)
  
  The i5-8259U in this NUC is a 28W part, while the 4000U is (by default) a 15W part.  Still, a heatsink four times the size of the computer it is cooling is still quite a lot.

  That makes it 85% faster on single-threaded tasks than my first-generation Ryzen 1700.

• I read the latest Penric and Desdemona story from Lois McMaster Bujold today, Masquerade in Lodi.
  
  The Penric stories are a series of novellas - typically around 100 pages each - set in what has come to be known as the World of the Five Gods.  (Goodreads)  It's the same world we first saw in The Curse of Chalion, which is still my favourite Bujold work.
  
  This is the ninth Penric story by publication order, and the fourth in internal chronology, and the Penric stories are set after the third Chalion novel and before the first.  So...  Just read them in publication order.  You can't go far wrong.
  
  My cardinal rule is prequels never work, but these aren't really prequels, just stories in the same world at different times.  Order doesn't matter greatly with the one proviso that you must read Curse of Chalion before Paladin of Souls.  They are the second and third acts in a play where the first act is told by implication, and coming in late on that particular narrative structure would not, I think, work too well.
  
  
  
• Nvidia's RTX 3070 Ti might have been cancelled before it could be launched or perhaps not.  (WCCFTech)
  
  The problem is that AMD's Radeon 6000 looks capable of competing on an even footing with the RTX 3080. and Nvidia doesn't actually have any 3080s to sell even if they were to reduce the price to compete.
  
  Not sure exactly how a different but cheaper board using the high-end GA102 chip is going to help Nvidia, but at least they don't have to cut prices on a card that isn't available.
  
  
  
• The cancellations may extend to the 20GB model of the RTX 3080 and the 16GB model of the 3070.  (Videocardz)
  
  This suggests even more strongly than the handful of leaked benchmarks that AMD has finally come up with a winner.  On the video card front.  They haven't set a foot wrong on CPUs for some time, barring a few BIOS and boost clock issues.
  
  
  
• Oh, right.  I mentioned the Radeon 6000 benchmarks before but neglected to post the link.  (Videocardz)
  
  If accurate - and this close to launch, real benchmarks do start to leak - at least one of the new Radeon cards is faster than the RTX 3080 on everything except ray tracing.
  
  
  
• The CEOs of Facebook and Twitter are getting hauled back to face Congress again.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  At this point they have no friends, and their only advantage is that Congress is full of idiots.
  
  
  
• GitLab is down.  (GitLab)
  
  We depend on GitLab for all our development and developer co-ordination at my day job.  This outage affected us not at all, partly because it happened at 9PM on a Saturday, but mostly because GitLab is a free download if you prefer to run it yourself.
  
  
  
• The RIAA just Streisaned YouTube-dl.  (GitHub)
  
  I presume there were a ton of forks of the project, but a DMCA takedown would also lock all the forks, which is yet another reason NOT TO FUCKING CENTRALISE THE ENTIRE OPEN SOURCE UNIVERSE ON ONE GODDAMN PLATFORM.
  
  
  
• In 2020 levels of irony, Facebook has demanded that the NYU stop tracking their ads.  (ZDNet)
  
  The NYU Ad Observatory project uses a browser plugin to allow volunteers to track and share data on what ads they are presented.

• Patreon has banned QAnon.  (Business Insider)
  
  QAnon is a popular but baseless conspiracy theory that claims that someone in Washington knows how to do his job.  This notion has Facebook, YouTube, and now Patreon understandably terrified.

• Suisei and Kanata both start streaming Minecraft in 30 minutes.
• Okayu starts streaming Minecraft in 90 minutes.
• Aqua just finished a nearly five hour Minecraft stream an hour ago.
• Haachama just finished a two-and-a-half hour Minecraft stream two hours ago.
• Sora finished a three-and-a-half hour Minecraft stream three hours ago.
• Botan finished a two-and-a-half hour Minecraft stream five hours ago.
• Moona took Gura and Amelia on a two-and-a-half hour tour of the HoloJP Minecraft server eight hours ago.
• Mio and Miko completed a four-and-a-half hour Minecraft collab sixteen hours ago.
• Haachama did an earlier three hour Minecraft stream twenty hours ago.
• Okayu did an earlier two-and-a-half hour Minecraft stream twenty hours ago.
• Pekora did a four-hour Minecraft stream twenty-two hours ago.
  
  
• That's 32 hours just of Minecraft content in one day, and that's with nine of the girls busy on a big EN/JP Among Us collab.
  
  I mean, I'd generally prefer that Microsoft not buy Cover Corp, but they seem to be the most benign of the corporate overlords available right now if that sort of thing were on the table.  They may be milking Minecraft, but they haven't ruined it.

• No, I wouldn't do that to you.
  
  
  
• I have two Butchers and a Bujold to read this weekend.  As an indication of how busy I've been, I haven't yet read Peace Talks, let alone Battle Ground.
  
  
  
• Intel's DG1 discrete graphics chip is shipping now.  (AnandTech)
  
  To laptop makers - it's not available as a card.  I don't think the laptops themselves have shipped yet, so no benchmarks.
  
  
  
• Speaking of benchmarks, the Ryzen 5600X is fast.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  If this is real, it's spectacular.  (CPUBenchmark)
  
  The multi-threaded performance looks entirely plausible, but the single-threaded performance is a surprise.  It is just one benchmark and it's perfectly possible that this benchmark runs particularly well on Zen 3.  But I've found that Passmark scores track very closely with Python code performance, so it's a useful benchmark for me.
  
  If it stands up, then AMD's new 6 core processor has 110% of the single-threaded performance and 94% of the multi-threaded performance of Intel's 10 core flagship 10900K.  It's faster than an 18 core Xeon Gold 6140.
  
  And would be a pretty major upgrade over my current Ryzen 1700.
  
  
  
• Even when it says "Ships from and sold by Amazon" you have to read the fine print.
  
  
  
  
  No, I wasn't burned - this doesn't apply to the 400GB model, which appears to be genuine.  But if you look up SanDisk microSD cards on Amazon AU, everything smaller than 400GB has that weird disclaimer:
  
  
  • This is an aftermarket of generic part.
  
  
  
• Ubuntu 20.10 is out, including a Raspberry Pi edition.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  I was meaning to check if it was out yet, and there it is.  I need to install a new Linux VM on New Spare Laptop since the old one was kind of a mess.
  
  
  
• Speaking of spare laptops, turns out that Old Spare Laptop has the same battery problem as New Spare Laptop.
  
  With Old Spare Laptop there is also a loose connection, which coupled with the failing battery means it's unreliable even when plugged in.  But it turns out that loose connection is in the charger cable, not the laptop.  I remembered that I had another charger with the same plug, swapped them, and suddenly it works.
  
  At least until you unplug it, whereupon it dies instantly.
  
  
  
• In Hololive news, Gawr Gura hit 1 million subscribers and Mori Calliope hit 500k during the same Minecraft collab stream (which I caught live), and Calliope had the #1 iTunes album worldwide on the same day, Coco is back to insult her fans, and HololiveCN is being, um, granted independence.
  
  The HoloCN girls are being given all rights to their characters so they can go independent. China is too toxic for Cover to want to deal with right now, particularly with the runaway success of HoloEN.

• Not to be confused with Amemoia which is how Gura feels about Watson.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Huawei has launched their Mate 40 series powered by the new Kirin 9000.  (AnandTech)
  
  The main feature in the Kirin 9000 is a huge Mali G78MP24.  My Mediapad M3 has a Kirin 950 with a Mali T880MP4, so this is six times faster even before clock speed and architectural improvements.
  
  You'd have to be crazy to buy a Mate 40, though.  It's far from cheap, doesn't include Google services, and the CPU - made on TSMC's new 5nm process - has already ended production due to US sanctions on Huawei.

• The 5950X can in fact hit 5GHz.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  4.9GHz is the regular boost clock, but it can go higher just on the standard settings, without explicit overclocking.
  
  It also comfortable beats the  5.3GHz 10900K on single-threaded tests and the 18 core 10980XE on multi-threaded tests, while clobbering the 10980XE on single-threaded and the 10900K on multi-threaded.
  
  
  
  
• The RTX 3070 is slightly faster than the 2080 Ti.  (Tom's Hardware)

• Disabled the dedicated graphics on New Spare Laptop and now it's behaving itself.  Idle Champions is running just fine, which was the goal after all.
  
  Looks like the Radeon GPU can push power draw above what the charger can deliver (only 65W) at least briefly.  If that happens when the battery is literally at zero charge, splat.  Fortunately lets you choose when to use Intel vs. AMD graphics, and you can easily lock it in power-saving mode where the GPU is disabled entirely.
  
  Going to pop it open next weekend and see if disconnecting the battery really does fix this issue.
  
  Update: And splat.  That is one garbage power supply they have there.

• New Spare Laptop has been deployed and is currently installing six months worth of software updates.
  
  Update: Where did all my disk space go?  Wait, VirtualBox is using how much?  Well, those can all go for a start.
  
  Update 2: Oh joy, a Windows Update boot loop.
  
  Update 3: Okay, Windows is updated now.  But it turns out that this laptop won't charge either.  Runs fine plugged in until you do something that draws extra current like, oh, running Idle Champions, at which point it drops dead.
  
  Update 4: That might be a software issue.  (CNet)
  
  But I'll have to open up the laptop and disconnect the battery to fix it.  Ugh.
  
  Hmm.  At some point I reinstalled Windows on this system and scrubbed it of all the Dell-specific drivers and stuff.  Might be worth reinstalling those.
  
  Update 5: BIOS reports the battery is fine, so it is a driver issue.  Well, that can be fixed, one way or another.
  
  Update 6: "This battery charging is temporarily disable."
  
  Update 7: There's apparently a workaround using advanced charging schedules.  Why they even exist I don't know, but worth a shot.
  
  Update 8: Nope.  Time to buy a new battery from some random seller on Amazon, I guess.  I can choose from Ding brand or Binger, or Amanda, or....  The reviews say remove your battery, leave it for two minutes, then try again.  Well, worth a shot.

  This will still be a significant upgrade, because the 5700U will be 8 cores / 16 threads, where the 4700U is 8 cores / 8 threads.  So each model should be 20-25% faster than its predecessor.

• It's definitely a loose connection.  Spare Laptop charged to 57% after being left alone for a while.  I used it for half an hour, then switched the settings so that closing the lid would put it into sleep mode, and left to do other things.
  
  Came back and it was dead as a doornail.
  
  Three hours later I poked it again, and it booted up and showed that it was at 86%, but not charging.  Fiddled with the power connecter and it started charging again.
  
  Okay.  Still replacing you, though, Spare Laptop.
