• AMD has announced a launch event for Ryzen 7000 on August 29.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  With hardware presumably shipping a few weeks later during September.
  
  I'll keep an eye on the event and post the details here, but I think everything about Ryzen 7000 has already either been officially announced or leaked.

• DotNET 6 is now in Ubuntu 22.04.  (Microsoft)
  
  Okay, I guess.  Is it any worse than Java?
  
  
  
• Hard drive shipments dropped 15% in the most recent quarter.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  A combination of factors at work here, including the timely demise of the Chia storage-based blockchain bullshit.  MSRPs haven't changed but if you shop around you can save up to 40% on high-end drives - making them fairly competitive with low-end drives that don't offer such deals.
  
  
  
• MailChimp kinda sucks.  (Bleeping Computer)
  
  They made my shitlist previously for summarily dropping conservative-leaning customers, but this time the got hacked - which can happen to anyone - and didn't keep their customers informed.  Including Digital Ocean, which is a cloud provider and rather expects its emails to be secure.
  
  Digital Ocean is no longer a MailChimp customer.
  
  
  
• It's only a model: American Airlines has signed a deal to buy 20 supersonic passenger jets from startup Boom Supersonic.  (CNBC)
  
  Boom currently has no planes.
  
  Boom currently has no working prototype.
  
  They have a model.
