• We haven't had a critical local privilege escalation bug in Linux for at least...  What's the time now?  (Ars Technica)
  
  Today's little surprise package comes courtesy of an unexpected exclamation mark in the source code for the Netfilter module that handles firewall tasks resulting in a use-after-free bug that can pretty reliably be tricked into granting an unprivileged user administrator access to the entire system.  Might break shared-kernel containers too; not sure about that.

• Eric Berger, the last sane man at Ars Technica, puts things into perspective: Over the past five years, a single Falcon 9 rocket - the same rocket, just recovered after its 35th launch - has lofted more payload into orbit than all the single-use rockets of competitor United Launch Alliance combined.  (Ars Technica)
  
  The little booster that could, B 1067, completed its mission safely after delivering 29 more satellites into orbit.  35 sequential reuses was seen as something of a boundary, but they've sailed right past it, at several miles per second.
  
  
  
• xAI is seen as more of a datacenter REIT - a real estate investment trust - than a frontier AI lab.  (Martin Alderson)

• The Sound Blaster Katana V2X is a walking disaster.  (Ars Technica)
  
  It's a USB speaker.  How bad can it be?
  
  Well, it is a USB speaker, yes.  It also supports Bluetooth connectivity for your mobile devices.  At the same time.
  
  And it makes it easy to upgrade the firmware should you need to do so.
  
  Over Bluetooth.  Without authentication.  While it is plugged into your PC.
  
  Meaning that anyone within Bluetooth range can reprogram it with arbitrary functionality.  Make it open Powershell and wipe your hard drive?  Sure.  The only problem there is the lack of imagination.
  
  Oh, and Bluetooth is always on, even when the device is powered down to "sleep" mode, so just turning it off won't save you.
  
  Creative - the company that sells Sound Blaster devices - states that it does not regard this as a vulnerability, which leaves me to wonder what kind of creeping cosmic horrors they would regard as vulnerabilities.

• I mentioned before how PCIe switches - at least ones operating faster than PCIe 3.0 - are prohibitively expensive and reserved for enterprise customers except for the ones built into every mainstream PC motherboard.  All but the cheapest models have a chipset, and that chipset's primary function is to act as a PCIe switch.
  
  And hobbyists have started tinkering with using AMD's B650 chip, which is a serviceable and reasonably priced example - plus one that already works because every operating system has drivers to support it.
  
  Now it's moving beyond a hobby.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Raspberry Pi shop WisdPi announced its PROM21 All In Expansion Card - the codename for the chip in the B650 chipset is Promontory 21.  For $199 - not cheap, but it's a small production run - you get four extra M.2 slots, five 10Gb USB 3 ports, a selection of USB 2 headers, and an OCuLink header that can provide four PCIe 4.0 lanes or through an adaptor cable four SATA ports (the magic happens in the chipset, so the cable is easy).  And it's a single slot half-height half-length card so it will fit easily into any PC.
  
  Minisforum is preparing a similar card.
  
  This would have been much more interesting before storage prices went into orbit, but at least it exists.

• Speaking of things more interesting in the Before Times, the Zima Cube 2 is a worthy successor to the old Cobalt Cube, though a little larger and disappointingly unblue.  (Notebook Check)
  
  It has an Intel 1215U or 1235U processor, two DDR5 SODIMM slots (so up to a nominal 64GB and a theoretical 128GB), one M.2 slot on the motherboard for the boot device, four more M.2 slots in a removable bay for storage, 6 3.5" drive bays for more storage, two 2.5Gb Ethernet ports plus a 10Gb port in the Pro model, HDMI, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt 4, two regular USB ports, and two PCIe slots, all in a compact, roughly 9" cube.
  
  The Qube was a little less than 8" on a side so the newer device beats it in every respect except that.
  
  $799 for the basic model with 8GB RAM; $1299 for the Pro model with 16GB.
  
  Also, the power supply is pretty limited so if you want to add a graphics card you need one that doesn't require any more than the 70W it can draw from the motherboard.
  
  
  
• AMD has expanded on its continued support for its current AM5 motherboards, stating that new products will arrive for that standard until 2029.  (WCCFTech)
  
  AM6 with support for DDR6 memory and the PCIe 6.0 bus will arrive only when it "makes sense".  PCIe 6.0 devices for the enterprise are trickling out now, but DDR6 isn't expected to appear until 2028.
  
  
  
• CXMT is coming to the rescue in the memory drought.  (WCCFTech)
  
  Unfortunately it is rescuing itself, raising prices to match the Big Three.
  
  
  
• And Lexar's regional manager for Australia and New Zealand says that memory prices are expected to double by the end of the year.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  On top of the already 5x increase, making the 128GB kit I bought a year ago one of the most valuable items I own.

• SpaceX just launched 50 more Starlink satellites into orbit in a single day, using a pair of its trusty Falcon 9 boosters from facilities at Cape Canaveral and Vandenburg.  (Space)
  
  And recovered both boosters, with them landing autonomously on the company's two purpose-built drone ships.
  
  I was curious as to how long it took mankind to launch its first 50 satellites into orbit, and the answer surprised me: Within four years of Sputnik there were over a hundred satellite launches.  "Space race" is no misnomer.

• Speaking of SpaceX they just signed a deal for Google to pay them $920 million per month for compute capacity in SpaceX's Colossus datacenters.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  Which might sounds backwards but illustrates the scale on which the company is operating.  SpaceX already has an arrangement with AI company Anthropic, which pays SpaceX $1.25 billion per month to lease compute capacity.
  
  
  
• SK Hynix is planning to double memory production at its factories in Korea and China.  (WCCFTech)
  
  By 2030.  The drought won't break anytime soon.
  
  
  
• A coalition of trade associations representing the telecommunications, automotive, and medical device industries has urged the Trump administration to do something about that drought.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Though it's not clear what they can do.  Even direct government investment or loan guarantees for Micron - the one American player among the Big Three memory makers - to accelerate expansion can only go so far because it takes years to build and fit out new factories, and the availability of the equipment for making chips is as constrained as the chips themselves. 
  
  
  
• The Radxa Dragon Q5E is a small single board computer for embedded projects with a Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 processor.  (Liliputing)
  
  (muffled screaming)
  
  Qualcomm is infamous for masking the specs of their processors.  For more than a decade every CPU shipped has contained "Kryo" cores according to the company's own datasheets.  Those are relabeled Arm cores, but you're not supposed to know which relabeled Arm cores.  Could be the A53 from 2012; could be the latest X925.  It's all just "Kryo".
  
  It's as if General Motors announced its 2026 Car (TM) with Engine (TM) technology.
  
  Anyway, in this case it has four A720 cores and four A520 cores on a 4nm process, because as soon as one person outside Qualcomm gets their hands on one the real specs leak out.
  
  
  
• Intel is planning to refresh its new entry-level Wildcat Lake processors next year - pushing them solidly into the mid range.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  The cheapest model, the 304, has one performance core, four low-power cores, and one graphics core; the other current models have two, four, and two respectively.
  
  The planned upgrade will bring the count of performance cores to four, a perfectly reasonable number for an everyday laptop.
  
  
  
• Nvidia's on-again off-again 50 Super range of GPUs might be on again?  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Expected at the end of last year, these models would have swapped 2GB GDDR7 memory chips for 3GB models, with some unspecified other minor improvements.  The 5070 with its 12GB of RAM - limiting for some recent games - would be supplanted by a 5070 Super with 18GB of RAM.
  
  Rumours now include a 12GB 5060 Super, plus the new 24GB 5070 Ti Super and 5080 Super.
  
  No leaks of when or how much, but not soon and not cheap.
  
  
  
• Brave Origin is a new browser from Brave that costs $60 to remove features from Brave.  (Bleeping Computer)
  
  But the features it removes are Brave's own - relatively unobtrusive - monetisation efforts.
  
  (Speaking of which, Tom's Hardware has annoying new ads that fill every inch of whitespace on the page.  If you set Brave's adblock to "aggressive" it makes them go away and leaves the page readable again.  I don't want website owners to starve but there are limits.)
  
  The $60 is a one-time payment and lets you install the browser on up to 10 systems, so I'd only need two licenses.
  
  And it's free on Linux, so I might only need one.
  
  
  
• Asus has a new 13" monitor on offer with a resolution of 3200x2400 - sort of - and a 35Hz nominal refresh rate.  (Liliputing)
  
  It covers around 30% of the DCI-P3 colourspace.
  
  Yes, it's an e-ink display, so take that refresh rate with a pound of salt, and the resolution as well: In colour it is cut by half, so 1600x1200.  Which is not terrible for a 13" display you would use mostly for reading text, but worth remembering.
  
  I did some digging on the original 2012 Nexus 7 tablet - which I owned (and probably still have in a box in the garage), and which had notably murky colour thanks to the choice of a budget LCD panel.  That still offered something on the order of 60% of DCI-P3 colour.
  
  
  
• Been very busy at work recently, pushing a new project towards release.  Got sign-off from both the QA and marketing teams yesterday, so I finally get a weekend off.  Ish.

• AI token costs are becoming a meme.  Here's why that's a good thing.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  It's not.  I mean, not for the AI companies, and not for anyone else unless it pops the bubble, and not even then as trillions of dollars of virtual money suddenly disappearing would cause a certain amount of drama.

  Despite that, Altman projects that AI token usage will continue to increase.  He said that six-and-a-half years ago, the top token spender at the startup used 100,000 tokens a month - today, that is the global per capita average token usage, and that OpenAI’s token leader uses about 100 billion a month.  The OpenAI chief also admitted, to his own embarrassment, that someone else uses even more. So, if token usage were to grow linearly, then he would expect the global per capita token usage to hit 100 billion monthly.

  Somehow I don't think that will happen.  At OpenAI's current rates, that would cost the average user over a million dollars a month and provide the company with a quadrillion dollars in monthly revenue.

• Apple's MacBook Neo is selling so well the company has doubled production.  (MacRumors)
  
  At that rate they'll run out of bad chips and have to start using good ones, but economies of scale may make up for it.
  
  Also the company is reportedly working on a 12GB model for next year.  If they can hit the same price that will offer a worthwhile bump in capabilities; 8GB is a bit restrictive even on a Mac.

• Another Arm-based computer with 8GB of RAM is Radxa's new Dragon Q8B.  (Liliputing)

  At $400 it would be interesting.  Below $400, compelling.  It costs $550 - as much as the faster and readily available Radeon 9070.
