• Biostar leaked a list of upcoming Ryzen 4000 desktop APUs as part of their motherboard support documentation unless they didn't.  (WCCFTech)
  
  Models range from the 35W 4200GE with a base clock of 3.5GHz to the 65W 4700G with a base clock of 3.6GHz.
  
  Um, and presumably the 4200 has four cores and the 4700 has eight, but they didn't bother to leak that detail.
  
  
  
• The rumour of a desktop Ryzen 3000 refresh has also been confirmed unless it hasn't.  (WCCFTech)
  
  This version lists the refresh parts as the 3600XT, 3800XT, and 3900XT.  Which does make sense, as those are high TDP parts that likely have headroom for speed improvements.  I wouldn't expect more than 200MHz on any of them though.
  
  
  
• A helpful list of fictional inventions by actual year.  (Technovelgy)
  
  Keep it handy in case you find yourself transported to an unknown year.  In a book.  A list by fictional year might be more useful in that situation, come to think of it.
  
  
  
• Move at least some Zig.  (GitHub)
  
  Zig is a cleaned-up version of C that doesn't attempt to provide the expressive power of D or the safety of Rust, on the principle that simplicity has value in itself.
  
  They're not wrong - as we saw with that example of Python code recently that didn't do at all what it appeared to do.
  
  
  
• The Dynabook (formerly Toshiba) Portege X30L-G is a 13.3" laptop that weighs 870 grams.  (ZDNet)
  
  Despite its diminutive size it manages to include a Core i7-10710U, 16GB RAM, a 512GB SSD, 1080p display, USB-C with charging and a separate charging support, headphone jack, microSD slot, two USB 3.0 ports, full size HDMI, wired gigabit Ethernet, dedicated PgUp/PgDn/Home/End keys, and close to a 10 hour battery life.
  
  
  
• SpaceX is go to launch their Crew Dragon to the International Space Station on the 27th.  (Space.com)
  
  This will be the first manned American launch since 2011.
