- 4chan is back. (Slashdot)
This will annoy the terminally-online haters and delight the... Also terminally-online haters.

- Hyte - maker of the Hololive limited edition computer cases and apparently other stuff as well - has suspended shipments of certain products to the US due to tariff uncertainties. (Tom's Hardware)

- Blue Shield California shared personal information of 4.7 million members with Google Ads. (CSO Online)

- Do not buy GMKtec's mini-NAS. (Jeff Geerling)
This device offers four M.2 SSD slots and an Intel N150 CPU in a compact device, just a little larger than a regular mini-PC.

Badly. The low-power CPU hits 85C under load and the SSDs hit 70C at idle.
If you throttle the CPU to just 800MHz, and throttle the M.2 bays to PCIE 1.0 speeds - still fast enough to flood 2.5Gb Ethernet - and also attach heatsinks to two of the I/O chips, and attach high-end heatsinks to the SSDs, then you can get those temperatures under control.
And somewhere along the way it stopped crashing.
But at that point it was twice the size it originally shipped at and ran slower than a Raspberry Pi.
