- Linux kernel patches indicate that AMD's next-gen mobile APU will support LPDDR4X-4266. (Tom's Hardware)
LPDDR4 is essentially mobile only; it requires memory to be soldered directly onto the motherboard. Desktop APUs will have to wait for DDR5 to get an equivalent bandwidth boost.
This is important because AMD's current-gen APUs are already bandwidth-limited. They could easily add faster integrated GPUs but they wouldn't help because the integrated GPU is not the issue. I think they currently specify DDR4-2400 for the mobile parts, so 4266 is a big jump.
- Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's Twitter account got hacked. (Tech Crunch)
Probably via a SIM-swap attack.
Don't use SMS for 2FA if you're a likely target for something like this; carrier security for end users is a joke. Use any of the one-time authenticator apps.
- LittleFS is a filesystem for microcontrollers that is safe against power-loss, provides consistent performance, automatically wear-levels flash storage, and only needs a few kilobytes of RAM. That's not an easy combination of features to deliver.
- Intel has started sampling 10nm Agilex FPGAs to select customers. (Serve the Home)
These are high-end parts that start at the price of a second-hand car and go up from there, for use in products that cost as much as a house, that you might only sell ten or twenty of, total. The alternative is designing a custom chip, which can easily cost millions.
An interesting thing is they implement 112G transceivers, which will likely form the basis of PCIe 7.0 in, oh, 2028 or thereabouts.
- It's Reddit's turn to fall over today apparently due to AWS issues. (Bleeping Computer)
It's working for me (I use it to follow stories for these updates) unless I go to my profile or inbox, and then it goes into a perpetual login redirect loop.
- Don't buy a Macbook. (ZDNet)
Well, what they say is that pen support is a must-have feature for new notebooks. I have two notebooks with pen support but I've been so busy the last few months - and spending all my time working from home - that I've hardly used them.
- Untitled Goose Game is an Epic Game Store time exclusive I am not making this up. (One Angry Gamer)
- Final Fantasy VIII Remastered is getting censored. (One Angry Gamer)
I don't know which is funnier, the tech company rearranging a bird's feathers for modesty, or fans carrying out geometric analysis of a character's decolletage to prove that the visual difference is not purely due to the HD textures.
