• Need a nominally portable battery pack that can charge your iPhone 47 times?  ChargeTech has you covered.  (AnandTech)
  
  It weighs 5.4kg (12lbs) and has a 462 Wh battery.  It could also charge a 2018 MacBook Air 9 times with a little left over.
  
  
• TSMC will begin mass production of 7nm+ in March.  (PC Perspective)
  
  This partly applies EUV to existing 7nm manufacturing.  It's not a huge advance, but it does provide somewhat higher transistor densities and some reductions in power consumption (on the order of 10%).
  
  This will be followed quickly by their 5nm process, which uses EUV throughout, and provides substantial improvements in transistor density - a 5nm chip could be close to half the size of the equivalent 7nm chip.
  
  
• DNS is doomed.  (ZDNet)
  
  Well, doomed-ish.  ICANN is urging everyone to move to DNSSEC.
  
  Problem: No-one uses DNSSEC.  At my day job we own two TLDs, and deal directly with various registries and registrars, and the uptake so far is minimal.
  
  
• Premiere Pro had a TINY AUDIO GLITCH.  (ZDNet)
  
  Fixed now, but that might not be entirely satisfactory if your sound equipment or hearing are already permanently damaged.
  

• Is Patreon angling to be acquired by Facebook?  (Tech Crunch)
  
  That would make sense of their recent abject fuckery.
