Tech News
- Huawei's Matebook 13 is a conventional laptop with a 3:2 screen. (Tom's Hardware)
Apart from the 3:2 2160x1440 screen, it has a quad core i7-8565U, 8GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, and two USB type C ports for doing everything (charging, video out, USB stuff).
CPU performance is excellent - it leaves the new Macbook Air absolutely in the dust. I/O performance is fair, though the Macbook is much faster there, perhaps because of the MacOS filesystem.
It also has a dedicated GPU - a low end MX150, but it's there - so it leaves laptops relying on the integrated Intel GPU in the dust as well. Perhaps because of that, battery life is just 6 hours, which isn't awful but falls well short of all-day use.
- Game developer Ammobox file a valid DMCA complaint against Steam for their own game and everyone lived happily ever after. (TechDirt)
Almost everyone.
- Samsung, not to be outdone by rival Toshiba, has announced a 1TB eUFS storage chip for smartphones and... Other smartphones. (WCCFTech)
Though larger than Toshiba's 512GB device it is slower at "only" 1GB per second.
- Podcasts to program by.
Social Media News
- Facebook has been paying teenagers so it could spy on them. (Tech Crunch)
Over 18, that's one thing. If an adult says "You pay me, I let you see my data", that's a valid transaction. Under 18, go directly to jail. Do not pass Go.
Tech Crunch has all the details - they've done some great work on this story - and it looks like Facebook seriously fucked up here.
