• Ian Cutress gets his hands on a not-too-wildly-expensive 24-port 10GBase-T switch.  (AnandTech)
  
  Unfortunately the price has now jumped by 60% so it's probably a couple more years before we really get 10G in the home.
  
  
• How do the Ryzen desktop APUs scale with overclocking?  (AnandTech)
  
  The cheaper 2200G scales very well; the more expensive 2400G less so.  This is almost certainly due to memory bandwidth; the 2200G has 8 graphics cores to the 2400G's 11, so it has more room to scale before it reaches the limits of the DDR4 interface.
  
  Which means that these won't get much faster until they can get faster memory, whether that's DDR5 or some sort of caching as found in Intel's Kaby Lake G.
  
  
• LG has their own 32" 4K DCI-P3 FreeSync HDR monitor.  (AnandTech)
  
  Best part: $500.
  
  
• ZADAK has 32GB unbuffered DDR4 modulesp.  (AnandTech)
  
  These are based on 8Gb chips, not the very new and scarce 16Gb chips, so they're bigger than normal.  They have both full-size and SO modules, so in theory I could use these to upgrade my Dell desktops to a full 64GB, assuming they fit.
  
  Anyone with one of Dell's Inspiron tower systems who needs to upgrade to 64GB could benefit from these too.
  
  
• A bug in remote management features in older Dell servers might affect tens of millions of systems ugh.  (Serve the Home)
  
  

Social Media News

• Facebook had a security breach, leaking details of 50 million accounts  (PCPer)
  
  They don't know who, or how, or what.  Fortunately, everything on my Facebook profile is a lie.
  
  There seem to have been at least three different security bugs being exploited in this.
  
  
• This of course comes just a day after the story about them misusing private customer data.  (TechDirt)
  
  
• Use Instagram?  You might be affected too.  (TechCrunch)
  
  
• USA Today smarmily insinuated Brett Kavanaugh is a pedophile on Twitter and the tweet is still up eight hours later.
  
  They need to fire the writer (in their sports department), the person who posted it, and whoever is supposed to be monitoring their social media responses.
