Had to work late so keeping things short today.
Top Story
- Bootstrap 5 is out. (GetBootstrap)
Bootstrap is a CSS framework for designing websites. It's from Twitter, and it's the only good thing they've done, and it's still pretty bad.
There's going to be a lot of swearing as front-end web developers migrate to the new version, because Twitter understands backwards-compatibility the way sea slugs understand calculus.
Tech News
- Proposed legislation in New York could ban crypto mining in the state. (Tom's Hardware)
I'm against this idea, unless it's enforced with nuclear weapons. No half-measures.
- The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra could have a zoom lens. (WCCFTech)
They call it "continuous optical zoom", but it's what anyone else would call a zoom lens.
- AMD's CEO Lisa Su will be giving the keynote address at Computex, and is expected to announce... Nobody knows. (WCCFTech)
Except for Zen 3 Threadrippers which are currently MIA, everything rumoured has actually shipped, with no major new products expected this year. So the two possibilities are that this will be a dull presentation - and Lisa Su is rarely dull - or AMD has more surprises up its sleeve.
- DDoS attacks took large parts of Belgium offline on Tuesday, affecting literally tens of people. (ZDNet)
Wait, you're telling me Belgium is a real country?
- Having blocked ad tracking by other companies, Apple is pushing ever more ads into its own apps. (BBC)
Told you so.
- Twitter is rolling out a mean tweet warning to iOS users. (9to5Mac)
Ban them all and let God sort them out.
- Cox Communications is suing BMG and Rightscorp, accusing them of fabricating DMCA takedown notices. (TorrentFreak)
There's a lot at stake here, since Cox is currently appealing a billion-dollar jury verdict.
Disclaimer: Ugh.
