- Want to go faster than fast? Gigabyte's Aorus Gen4 AIC SSD can hit 15GB per second. (AnandTech)
It comes with 4 2TB M.2 SSDs installed. Price not specified.
- Want to go just normal fast? AMD's Ryzen 5 3500 and 3500X are on their way unless they aren't. (WCCFTech)
6 cores and 6 threads, where the previous generation had 4 cores and 8 threads. The only difference between X and non-X - according to the leaks - is the L3 cache. X has 32MB where non-X has just 16MB.
Prices are expected to be $149 for X and $129 for non-X.
- Apple's Safari browser is dead. (GitHub)
It hasn't stopped moving yet, but as of Safari 13 it will no longer support proper ad blockers. This is in the name of security: Apple is making it impossible for browser extensions to collect data on web pages you view. But in doing that, they make it impossible for ad blockers to work.
You can of course still use something like Pi-hole to nuke the ads before they even reach your browser.
- A vapid virtue-signalling Ruby programmer working at Google broke a bunch of people's Chef installations by yanking his library from GitHub. (ZDNet)
He discovered that (a) ICE uses Chef and (b) ICE detains illegal immigrants. So he took down his library. Which didn't bother ICE in the least but did cause problems for a lot of other people.
Bright lad you have there Google.
- YouTube has decided that you are no longer you. (One Angry Gamer)
Their latest stupid trick is retroactively changing the verification requirements, so that even though your account has been verified for ten years, it isn't any more. Ha ha, what a lark.
- Twitter is testing a change that lets you moderate replies to your posts. (Thurrott.com)
This is stupid.
Disclaimer: The world is full of idiots and I only have one harpoon, so I'd better get busy.
