Future Proof Edition
I haven't seen the incident, but from chat I'm guessing that Lamy accidentally crouched when their TTT - the big automated monster farm Pekora built - spawned a creeper for her to kill, because right now there's a huge hole where the farming platform is supposed to be and the spawned monsters are plummeting thousands of feet to their death.
But that just means that Moona has been called out for emergency repairs and we get a bonus stream. It's late so I can't watch much, but today I got a Vyolfers Minecraft stream and a Gura Terraria stream, and late tomorow Calli is having a Minecraft collab with Reine. I'm guessing on the JP server, because Reine has visited the EN server but Calli hasn't visited JP yet.
Also, I've never watched a Lamy stream. Even now there's a long list of Hololive girls I know only from clips. And we're getting six more HoloEN girls in the next few months.
Future Proof Edition
Tech News
- Humble Bundle has a big bundle of science fiction, fantasy, and horror books up.
It's a very mixed bag - old and new titles, well-known authors and newcomers, novels, collections, and anthologies - but it's 47 books for... I don't know the US price, $25?
- SK Hynix is shipping 18GB 6400Mbps LPDDR5 memory. (WCCFTech)
18GB? Why? What? I've seen odd sizes before for mobile phone makers - 6GB, for example - but 18GB? The article reads like a press release because it is a press release but I haven't found any more information.
Not that I spent that much time looking.
- Want an expensive, heavy, hand-held gaming console that will eat batteries like peanuts? The Aya Neo's crowdfunding campaign is under way. (Tom's Hardware)
Or you could look for a mint-in-box Game Gear on eBay.
- Serverless is cheap if developer time is free. (LayerCI)
And your customers have infinite patience.
- This drive is terrible! It can barely hit 800MB per second! (Serve the Home)
Not so long ago this would have been magical, now it's cheap junk with a suspicious name.
- Dell has a major redesign of their flagship XPS 15 laptop. (Thurott.com)
Does it have the Four Essential Keys?
No.
Fuck 'em.
- Google has killed Google Pay, replacing it with a new service also called Google Pay but entirely useless. (Ars Technica)
Good work, idiots.
- The browser wars are back. (ZDNet)
First time as farce, second time also as farce.
- No. (Quartz)
- Crystal vs. Go. (Crystal-Lang)
Crystal is a great language, but the compiler is slow (because it does type inferencing) and it so far lacks a killer app. Interesting that they list Caddy as the killer app for Go. I don't disagree, I depend on Caddy both here and at my day job, but it's not a high-profile application.

I've been driving a exactly the model of XPS 15 reviewed (except in the superior black color), and the lack of dedicated home/end/pgup/pgdown keys is my only complaint about it.

If my 2004 thinkpad x40 can have dedicated pgup/pgdn keys (albeit in a terrible location), dell has no excuse on a 15" thunderflush.

Jay - I have an older 15" Dell, one of the first models they sold with a 4K screen, and it's just great except for those missing keys. (Well, and the fact that the battery is basically dead at this point and it's old enough that I need to chase down a third-party replacement.)
That Dell is what led me to create the term "Four Essential Keys" in the first place. I also have a dirt cheap Lenovo Ideapad - cost me under A$300 - that does have those keys.

Speaking of hilarious moments in Hololive, Miko's birthday last week was met by, among other things, a birthday vmail from Ned Luke, the voice of Grand Theft Auto 5's Michael de Santos. I thought it was splendid move by Rockstar's and Take-Two's PR team.

So As I normally do when I get home from work, I opened up all your links in tabs and skimmed through them.
I immediately knew when I came to the article described only by "No."
Good grief.

18GB -- someone idiotically counting ECC?
