Oh No It Isn't Edition
I've only watched the first (short) season, plus two episodes of the second, and there's now five times as much so I'm going to give it another go. The first season was great, but the start of the second season just felt flat to me at the time. We'll see.
Update: Just re-watched the first seven minutes of the first episode of the first season. It is really good.

Tech News
- The Arm A77 core is still 4-issue, not 6-issue. It can dispatch 6 micro-ops, but can only decode 4 Arm instructions per clock.
- PCIe 4.0 will not be coming to existing Ryzen motherboards. (AnandTech)
The problem seems to be that it mostly works, but the cases where it doesn't work are too complex to palm off with a warning label.
- Samsung announced the Notebook 7, the latest notebook in the Notebook range. (Tom's Hardware)
It has a processor, memory, storage, and a screen.
- Google Cloud burned down, fell over, and sank into the swamp. (Tech Crunch)
But the fourth one stayed up.
- Tyan also has a Threadripper server motherboard. (Serve the Home)
8 DIMM slots, 8 SATA ports, 2 M.2 slots, dual Ethernet but unfortunately ony gigabit speed, onboard remote management which is a necessity for servers, and 7.1 audio which isn't.
You can get a 12 core 4GHz Threadripper for $328 right now. Sure, it's the 2017 model, but an equivalent Xeon will set you back about $2800.
- Apple's World Wide Developer Conference is tomorrow. (ZDNet)
Top expectations are e a new version of iOS that still can't do what Android 4 could, and iTunes turning up dead in a ditch. (Thurrott.com)
