Daily Tech News 2 August 2024

Top Story

Intel announced its earnings report for Q2 of 2024, and it's less than wonderful. (AnandTech)

While the company did post a profit and issue a dividend, it also announced plans to slash costs before things go into freefall.

This includes suspending future dividends, cutting capital and operating expenses, and... Firing between 15,000 and 17,000 workers.
The company also bit the bullet and announced two years of additional warranty on its failing 13th and 14th generation desktop processors. (Tom's Hardware)

Which would be a bigger deal if Intel hadn't been rejecting warranty returns for the past year, all the while knowing that the problems were of its own creation.

Tech News

Intel is also running into production issues with its next-generation Meteor Lake desktop CPUs. (AnandTech)

These are needed to replace the fault-ridden 13th and 14th generation chips. Meteor Lake actually has multiple chips on the package, similar to some AMD CPUs, and the problem lies with the components manufactured by Intel itself.

The response has been to crank up production - since Intel owns the factories, it can do that - and discard the failed parts. That will allow Meteor Lake to launch on time but it will not come cheap.
Micron meanwhile has announced its new 276 layer 1Tbit TLC flash chip. (AnandTech)

This is about 30% smaller than its previous 1Tbit TLC chips, or about the same size as existing 1Tbit QLC.
Testing out a 5Gb network card. (Serve the Home)

These are great because they use much less power than a 10Gb card, are twice as fast as common 2.5Gb Ethernet, and run just fine over twenty year old Cat-5 cables.

They are less great because 5Gb Ethernet switches basically do not exist.
With the Boeing Starliner capsule now entering the eighth week of its planned eight day stay at the ISS, NASA is facing up with its most difficult choice yet: Admitting failure and asking Tony Stark Elon Musk to rescue its astronauts. (Ars Technica)

There is a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule docked at the ISS right now, but that's the lifeboat in case of catastrophic failure, so the plan would be to send up a second capsule to ferry Butch and Suni home.

4 Intel has entered the phase where it is a shrinking business. That they've managed to do it in a sector of the economy that seems to have unlimited demand Is a stunning feat of incompetence.

Boeing misinterpreted matters and decided somewhere along the line to be like Intel. If Elon Musk gets tapped to rescue the astronauts at the space station that's a PR problem that they may not be able to get past. Toss in all their other quality control problems and they too could become a shrinking business.

American industry. Building on incompetence for a better future.

5 The lives of 2 astronauts seems like a small price to pay to establish a DEI culture at Boeing.
I mean, unless you're 1 of those 2 astronauts, in which case it seems like a pretty fucking huge price to pay. But hey, eggs/omelets.

6 Evening and morning to all the early risers and late toilers! 'Tis Friday at last. I've got a heat index now of 97 F., so I've done my calisthenics and stretches, and am now taking it easy in the cool of the window A/C. The trouble is, the weather won't be any better on Sunday or next week either. Maybe I'll have to do walking only -- which means longer sessions.

Anyway! What have you got planned for the weekend?

Our hundreds will be the heat index, which I know you don't have. On Weather Underground, the SW corner of Indiana, which I'm still looking at as a retirement bolthole, is having highs between 86-93 this next week. But by Sept., historically anyway, they will start seeing highs in the low 80s, and by October -- when I hope to drive up and actually see the place -- in the lower 70s. (In this dump it will still be 90 or close to it.)

66 I never considered that as Sec Trans, Bootyjuice is the Secretary of the Merchant Marine. Surprised he doesn't prance around in Admiral regalia.

Historically, Merchant Mariners have never received the same recognition as US Navy sailors. However, previous secretaries have awarded Merchant Marine Expeditionary and other medals to those in combat zones. These recognitions are crucial as they unlock federal burial benefits and are the first step for Merchant Mariners injured or killed in action to obtain VA benefits. Buttigieg’s refusal to issue awards, or even to take five minutes to thank these mariners in a video address, is denying them their hard-earned benefits.

I'm sure the last words we'll hear when being herded into the gas chambers will be, "Take everything out of your pockets. Remove your shoes and take off all belts." And the same people will be saying it.

88 They promised me a free Tibet and a free Bengal too, and that never panned out.

There ain't no such thing as a free Palestine.

95 Guys, the Starliner flight is a test flight. It wasn't supposed to be eight days, it was supposed to last until they finished the test card. The fact that they can remain docked at the ISS until the batteries run down means they have the luxury of time to gather data about the problems that they find, and they're going to find problems because DUH! It's a test flight! Finding problems is the purpose of the exercise.

All of the problems that they've found have to with the service module, which will be destroyed upon reentry. Since they're losing access to the parts that have the problem, they're gathering as much data as they can before returning to earth.

Look, there are a lot of things to criticize about Boeing's Starliner, but most everything you read about it in the news is just dumb.
