Top Story
- AMD has announced a launch event for Ryzen 7000 on August 29. (Tom's Hardware)
With hardware presumably shipping a few weeks later during September.
I'll keep an eye on the event and post the details here, but I think everything about Ryzen 7000 has already either been officially announced or leaked.
Tech News
- DotNET 6 is now in Ubuntu 22.04. (Microsoft)
Okay, I guess. Is it any worse than Java?
- Hard drive shipments dropped 15% in the most recent quarter. (Tom's Hardware)
A combination of factors at work here, including the timely demise of the Chia storage-based blockchain bullshit. MSRPs haven't changed but if you shop around you can save up to 40% on high-end drives - making them fairly competitive with low-end drives that don't offer such deals.
- MailChimp kinda sucks. (Bleeping Computer)
They made my shitlist previously for summarily dropping conservative-leaning customers, but this time the got hacked - which can happen to anyone - and didn't keep their customers informed. Including Digital Ocean, which is a cloud provider and rather expects its emails to be secure.
Digital Ocean is no longer a MailChimp customer.
- It's only a model: American Airlines has signed a deal to buy 20 supersonic passenger jets from startup Boom Supersonic. (CNBC)
Boom currently has no planes.
Boom currently has no working prototype.
They have a model.
