- Intel says it is on track with its 7nm process. (Tom's Hardware)
It will enter mass production in 2023.
Probably.
- Running Elite on the Raspberry Pi Pico. (Tom's Hardware)
Step One: Emulate a BBC Micro, including software-driven VGA.
Step Two: ???
Step Three: Get your high-value cargo yeeted by the people you are rescuing when their sun goes nova.
- A pox on both their houses, part one: Amazon is forking Elasticsearch as an Apache licensed project. (Amazon)
If only Elastic hadn't spent the past several years breaking it.
- A pox on both their houses, part two: Google is threatening to pull its search service from Australia if a new law is passed by Parliament. (ZDNet)
It's another one of those link tax laws, and is pointless and self-destructive, but so is Google.
- A pox on both their houses, part three: Google has agreed to pay an identical link tax in France. (Ars Technica)
See above.
- The reporting on Parler is uniformly awful. No matter the source, they all repeat the Big Lie. It's tiresome.
- Moderation is difficult at scale - but it only becomes impossible when you employ useless far-left fuckwits to do it. (PJ Media)
Twitter is being sued for a whole lot of things here. If they try a CDA 230 defense on this one it could be the death of CDA 230.
Disclaimer: A lie can be half-way around the world before the truth has got its boots on, so the best thing to do is never take them off.

Ah, Elite...One of those games that I really wanted and still want to play, but could never do, either at all or for any long period of time. The original Elite had a copyright protection that I lost along the way, never got most of the others, Frontiers: Elite had controls that were too clunky for me, and Elite: Dangerous had a Kickstarter that was denominated in British pounds that I was suspicious of.
Fortunately, years before it was cool, Ian Bell had most of the early releases available for free download at his website, so that was nice.

French link tax: there was a time that would've annoyed me. No longer, though. I hope more countries chisel some of Google's profits away.
