Top Story

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is here. (Tom's Hardware)

This model increases the RAM from 264k to 520k and the ROM from 2MB to 4MB. The existing Arm Cortex M0+ cores have been replaced by two new dual-mode cores, that you can select to run either Arm code as Cortex-M33 cores, or RISC-V code as Hazard3 cores. Either way the clock speed has been bumped up slightly from 133MHz to 150Mhz.

The new model also adds floating point support, something the entry-level M0+ core lacked, and also DSP extensions.

The board costs $5 and the new chip it uses, the RP2350, starts at $0.80 in quantity.

If you want just the chip it is available with 2MB of stacked QSPI flash - so you don't need a second chip for that - and as either a 60-pin chip with 30 available I/O pins or an 80-pin chip with 48 I/Os.

It still has the fancy PIO controller - the feature that let the Pi Pico output HDMI video without any video hardware - and that has been upgraded from 8 state machines to 12. So in theory you could run three monitors off this version.

BIOS updates for Intel motherboards are starting to show up. (Tom's Hardware)

If your CPU hasn't started crashing yet you will want to update the BIOS to keep it that way, though you might want to wait a week or two to let other poor saps find out if there are any bugs.

Initial testing suggests that the update doesn't change performance at all which leaves me to ask why the hell was Intel cooking people's CPUs for the past couple of years?
A sixteen year old bug in all major browsers opens potential security vulnerabilities on MacOS and Linux. (Notebook Check)

Not so much on Windows, because it depends on the precise semantics of the Unix network stack.

The bug was identified in 2008, but you know how it is when you're multi-trillion dollar company.
Apple has discarded its universally hated Core Technology Fee that it put in place to smother new app marketplaces - that Apple is required to support by EU regulations. (Tech Crunch)

And replaced it with two new fees that are more complicated and more expensive.

In addition to stealing all their money, Apple also requires that new app stores to hand over all information on their customers.

Expect the EU to seize this opportunity to slap Apple with another multi-billion dollar fine.
FTX will be paying customers back every single penny stolen in Sam Bankman-Fried's record-breaking swindle. (Ars Technica)

About $12.7 billion in total.

104 Iranians hacked my garage door opener and now when the door closes it goes part way down and then opens again. The most amazing thing about this brilliant hack is my garage door opener is not even connected to the internet!

107 It would be funny if Intel really is able to fix the ring bus cooker without reducing performance. It would mean that it was an out and out screw up by the numbers that never even had to happen, and could have been solved when it first showed up, if they had been willing to address the problem head on, rather than trying to pretend everything was fine.

Or they're creatively lying on their benchmarks again. Six of one, half-dozen of the other.

Intel needs to get their act together, bad, or we're going to have a defacto monopoly, again. :/

You can't spell "tampering" w/o "tamp."

109 Are the bios updates going to slow the computer down? It feels like they must. If they do, is it worth it vs hoping it will never be a problem?

I've got a13600k. It doesn't use much power (relatively) and has worked fine for more than a year.

111 Nevermind. I just went ahead and did it. Seems stable so far (3 minutes)!

112 FTX customers get it all? How much goes the lawyers? And how much does FTX have to actually pay the ordered amount? A little early to say they will actually see the money
