Daily Tech News 28 April 2023

Top Story

The Asus Flashtor (not FlashStor as I had it previously) is in stock right now on Amazon's US and AU sites. I couldn't find it before because I was spelling it wrong.*

Curiously enough the Australian pricing is almost exactly at MSRP when you account for exchange rates and sales tax, while the US price is 8% higher. Usually it's very much the other way around - Gigabyte's laptops for example cost 30% more in Australia.

I want one, but I won't be able to afford to fill it with SSDs until maybe September. I think it supports volume capacity upgrades, though, so I can start with one SSD and then add a couple more at a time. (One reason to go for Btrfs over ZFS.)

* Wait, no. I had it right. The listings on Amazon are wrong - and it's being sold directly by Asus.
Intel is not having a good day. (Tom's Hardware)

Sales for Q1 of 2023 were down 36% over 2022 and profits were down 133%, which is, well, bad; the company lost $2.8 billion. Mind you, that's 30% less than Facebook's Metaverse project lost in the same period.

Server chips usually save Intel when consumer sales are weak, but not this time: Consumer products were down 38%, while datacenter products were down 39%. Mobileye was the only bright spot with sales up 16%

I have no idea what Mobileye is.

Tech News

Need to connect more monitors but only have a low-profile PCIe slot free like maybe you have a Hyte Y60 with a main graphics card or a SilverStone CS01-HS case? And you're allergic to fan noise?

Matrox - yes, they're still around - has you covered. (WCCFTech)

These are low-end Intel Arc A310 and A380 cards, so don't plan on playing anything more taxing than Minecraft. The A310 is equivalent to Intel's Xe integrated graphics with the full 96 cores, while the A380 is one step up from that with 128 cores.

Since the cards have dedicated VRAM they'll likely perform a bit above expectations. And one of the A310 cards is a 30W passively cooled model.

All will run four 4K or two 8K monitors over DisplayPort.

Price is not mentioned anywhere which means it will be way more expensive than you think.
Colorado has signed into law a right-to-repair bill for farm equipment. (Ars Technica)

Louis Rossman has been covering this for years on YouTube. A right-to-repair bill passed in the New York legislature but was killed by Governor Kathy Hochul, so I think this is the first major piece of such legislation to become law.
Twitter competitor Bluesky is dead. (Tech Crunch)

It's still wriggling around but these people are fucking morons, even dumber than the ones running Twitter before Elon Musk fired them all.

Nearly as dumb as the utter retards of the tech media reporting on them. (The Verge)

I'm all for competitors to Twitter but these people don't have a single functional brain cell shared among the lot of them.
Clubhouse, a kind of spoken-word Twitter that was briefly pseudo-popular during the Wuhan Bat Flu Death Plague, has fired half its employees. (Tech Crunch)

The total number of which reportedly never exceeded 100, so it's possible they didn't burn through all their capital and are about to die. Just slowly fade back into obscurity.

Disclaimer: Mute them all. God will know his own.

Morning, LiS,

Yes, the Killer Kittens are here. I've taken to bringing the smaller carrier out in the evenings and letting them play in and around it, to distract them from the window blinds. Unlike most of my cats, they don't hate and fear the carrier, in fact they run right to and into it. Stirling the big black one kneaded and nuzzled me as usual this morning.

(The conquistadores probably named that town. Escroto Quemaduro, or something like that.)

21 This is sort of tech-ish. I've had my modern smart TV since Nov. 2020 and have never been able to get the local PBS station over the air. I know, a lot of their programming is woke or in with the climate change scare, but the Nature series has animals that Miss Linda likes, and the occasional British mystery is fun. I've done the re-scan thing several times to pick up new channels; never could get that channel, including after the most recent scan last month . . . until I stumbled across it last night. Peculiar.

COJ, I got here last Saturday evening, and am wheel up tomorrow (Sat. For me) at 0655. Land in Honolulu before I departed Guam, then sp3nd the next full day getting back to 'Bama. 21 hours real time, but the date line fubars everything.

Good trip, I think I'm doing something useful for the population and Marines defending the place. Just hope our Junta doesn't fuck it up by the numbers like they do everything else.

Every time my son moves, which is about once a year right now because he attending a university, he has to replace a couple blinds because Nadine, his calico kitty, has destroyed a couple because they block her view outside. In other news Nadine got trained to wear a body harness and walk on a leash. They look ridiculous when they go on walks. In other, other news he takes her the local pub where she rides in on his shoulder and the lays in the middle of the floor because be cause she gets attention. Drama Queen Maximus comes to mind.

I haven't partaken of any of it. 14 hour days, and then sleep, do over. Made myself walk down to the beach today and take a photo so I could say I had done so.

Honestly, there is a 5th column of Chinese tourists here, and I'm very glad to have packed business casual clothes with no logo or identifying shiz on them for who I work for or what I do. I'm paranoid about opsec since I got targeted by the chinks back in 2010 for a project I worked.

Posted by: BifBewalski at April 28, 2023 04:48 AM (JCfas)

27 Personally I don't really care about the blinds here, except they make the place look trashy from outside as well as in if they're broken. I long ago waved bye-bye to my damage deposit. And clearly the mismanagement here doesn't care about the property. When I leave, which I keep hoping will be this year, they can have the joy of replacing blinds, fixing the bedroom ceiling, and swapping out the carpet (which I have kept clean for many years, but it's old).

28 Can't get PBS over the air and then I can. Wasup with that - Posted by Wolfus and paraphrased by the deranged.

This is going to be fun: Maybe you were holding it wrong. Or, the Chicom spies next you moved out and took their surveillance electronics with them.

In case PBS over the air bombs out on you, PBS has an app that should be available across the various platforms (I use Roku). The only complication is PBS has taken to locking up episodes in an attempt to force you pay for them after you have already paid for them with your taxes.

What about moving the antenna? What platform is your TV running? If it is Roku I will look up the "secret code" for you that allows you to see channel signal strength.

Welp, we do have Quemado, NM which translates to Burnt apparently. It is down the road from Pie Town, NM which raises the question was Quemado created as a commentary about Pie Town's pies or anatomy. It is a mystery. New Mexico is like that. The peeps that live in Madrid, NM demand it be pronounced Mad-Rid. The peeps in Los Cerrillos always pronounce it Ma-drid to irritate the Mad-Riddens. I am not making this up. I love living here.

35 LiS, I don't have a Roku. I bought the TV, it sensed my home WiFi network during setup, and that was pretty much it. I can get YooToob and Pluto and Tubi, things like that, but most of my TV nowadays is over-the-air, the geezer channels, and my local CBS and Fox outlets for the traffic and weather in the morning.

By the way: Out of curiosity after your reports about southern NM, I looked on Zillow for homes for sale in my (admittedly cheap) price range in Las Cruces. There wasn't much in the way of 2-3 BR homes. The closest place with a few houses I liked was over in Alamogordo. I even saw one in the famous Roswell. Maybe I could talk Linda into moving there. . . .

Sounds about right. Then they figured out they could get data from OPM by being the outsource of a Brazilian outsource that handled OPM's data. (Btw, who in hell approved sensitive data being
handled by foreigners? Yeah, when you need your database serviced, you go to the effing BRAZILIANS, because they're known for database efficiency.)

So the issue here is prices have gone nuts. I paid $175K for my place (3 bedroom 2 bath 1500 sq ft) with a couple necessary improvements in 2019 a price that maybe increase by $60K over 15 years. Today this is worth just over $300K. I nailed my timing when I moved here. With that said, Alamogordo is a city of about 30K and it is a lovely small town. It sits right at the base of Sacramento Mountains which are beautiful. That is a win if you are OK with a city that size. Silver City is in a beautiful area and it should be on the list. Deming is a possibility (it is an hour from Las Cruces) and is very livable but less attractive than the others. If you are thinking about this area as a possibility you need to start serious research - this area is getting found.

59 I got a thinkpad laptop recently with win11 pre-installed. Decent specs, nothing taxing running on it, still ran like raw molasses on a winter's morning. Three minutes just to open file explorer (yes, i measured). New memory. New ssd. HW monitor shows no bad voltage or temps. Even did a complete wipe and clean re-install of the OS, and ppbbbthbth. Junk.

So i dumped Clippy and put on Ubuntu's latest LTS distro.

Thing runs like a greased gazelle in a lion enclosure now. And it's immeasurably easier to use for the little development project I'm using it for, too.

Oh, yeah -- 30K sounds fine, as long as there are places to get your car worked on and there are medical facilities. After discussions with NaCly Dog and Notsothoreau, I've been thinking about Kansas, esp. Salina, which is a little larger. I am so sick of having a million people around me that 50-75K sounds great.

If a decent property in S NM cost $200K and up, I'm out of luck. I don't need anything fancy, just want something that can be properly air-conditioned in the hottest weather, has a carport/garage or that I can add one to, and is safe and friendly.

I wouldn't be able to stay up all night, I wouldn't be able to take off for Gruene Hall in New Braunfals, TX at the drop of hat and drive 10 hours to go hear some hot band, I wouldn't be able to drive 4 hours to Tucson to go to In-N-Out, I wouldn't be able to go driving around out in the desert taking pictures all day, I wouldn't be able to go to my favorite pubs, sit out on their patio on Taco Tuesday in the middle of the day, I wouldn't be able to waste a bunch of time reading poetry and writing on my blog, going for long walks in the Organ Mountains outside of Las Cruces, driving up to Albuquerque to watch Triple A baseball and so on. Retirement for me is like that.

I wouldn't be able to stay up all night, I wouldn't be able to take off for Gruene Hall in New Braunfals, TX at the drop of hat and drive 10 hours to go hear some hot band, I wouldn't be able to drive 4 hours to Tucson to go to In-N-Out, I wouldn't be able to go driving around out in the desert taking pictures all day, I wouldn't be able to go to my favorite pubs, sit out on their patio on Taco Tuesday in the middle of the day, I wouldn't be able to waste a bunch of time reading poetry and writing on my blog, going for long walks in the Organ Mountains outside of Las Cruces, driving up to Albuquerque to watch Triple A baseball and so on. Retirement for me is like that.

San Franpsycho, you have much to look forward too. Frankly, you have won life.

I'm doing even better than that. I got my cousin, the re-tard meteorologist interested in something: soil temperatures vs air temperatures over the course of the day.

We were talking what we was a-plantin' in our gardens, and soil temperature ranges for various things. I got interested in insolation on the soil. Soil temp will get higher than air temp when the sun is shining, and there are lags. Soil low may be nowhere near air low.

That got a bee under his bonnet, and he's been compiling data. Sent me a chart he put together.

My Pauline Kael hot take based solely on the people i know is that the people who are getting stoned now always did, they just do it more now. Basically the customer base isn't increasing much, but the market size is.

Although add in the fact that alcohol is becoming passé amongst the younger crowd in favor of basically everything else, especially weed vape pens. But they were already unemployable because they can't find their genitals with a map and both hands, and can't do basic arithmetic or even rudimentary reading comprehension. It's not like there was much fruit set on that tree to get damaged in the first place.

Who the hell knows.

I just went outside and took a Las Cruces where weed is legal. there are the too many places to buy weed phase - the real money will be made are the inevitable consolidation goes all grim reaper on the excess capacity. The State of New Mexico is getting less tax revenue than they thought because the state is run by communists, the number of jobs is, hell I have no idea, but if being a bud tender is your ideal career this is the place to be. I haven't noticed any increase in the number of people laying around high - just the same drug addicts living in tents around town, and if you have a job that drug tests and you still smoke weed you deserve to be unemployed.

I faced the same situation. My thinking is I am buying this so I can be my own landlord and that landlord would never raise my rent. I took out a 30 year loan to get the payment down which is insane form somebody that just retired but it worked. My critical cost is fixed and that is a massive win. If you are worth a few million making retirement work is easy. When your are not there everything is about cash flow and getting that to be in balance (or close as possible) with your SS or Pension payments. I gamed this out to the max.

151 Willowed from the ONT...

I checked in on my son who is wrapping up his university studies for classical guitar performance and education. He is doing a teaching practicum middle school about an hour north of Seattle where the kids come from challenged home lives, low incomes, drugs, and gangs. This a smaller city whose economic base comes from farming, logging, and fishing. Yesterday a girl OD in a bathroom and there were a few alerts for firearms because some knuckleheads were banging heads. He and I had a serious discussion what to do at the first sound of a gun shot or an alert of an active shooter. When he came into this world I was filled with awe that he was alive, then proud of him for fulfilling his life long goals and today I am terrified he will be murdered in a middle school. God help us.

I started pushing him a year ago and got him to start thinking differently and it worked. He found something that lit him up and then he hustled the gig. This gig is a game changer and the company has lots of divisions that do all kinds of technical work. A year from now he is going to be a very different person and for the better.

Seems less than optimal.

My buddy runs a music department. He's made a huge push towards teaching more about non-western music. Nothing about it tears down the western canon though. He elevates everything, together. There is so much that's fascinating about how music and history intertwine, between all cultures, and so much about Western music that gets lost by the typical "this period of music corresponds to this period of art and history and that's all you need to know for The Test" approach.

But this dipshit lazy faculty lounge idea that western music Bad and non-western music Good is just plain bullshit. Again, it's just boring lazy blackmail. "Tear down your culture and history Or Else".

New Mexico is a great place to live and it is affordable. When your read the guides it gets slammed and that is complete BS - it ain't perfect - but for the right person it hard to beat.

The old defintion of vaccine was something that gave "immunity". Meaning, most of the time in most people, it conferred immunity, same as infection with the actual disease.

They started playing around with that definition, changing it to "provokes an immune response".

Now, they're saying that any old thing Pharma wants to call a vaccine is okay by them.

For somebody that is retiring that doesn't have a huge bankroll and wants to be a home owner - well, starts to sound OK, am I right? It is a value proposition based on your place in life. Fair enough?

Yes that is probably true.

227 Now do Truth or Consequences, NM.

T or C is a trip. It is full artistic types and people that are still wearing bell bottoms and love to talk about the Grateful Dead. A few years ago a couple form the Pacific NW opened a killer brewery and it revitalized downtown. The 2nd Saturday event is when all the galleries stay open late and the T or C Brewery has live music. Plus hot spring hotels...

There is a lot to be said for in these smaller places. NM is not for everyone but those who lights up, it is a dope place to live.

228 I get paid over $85 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 12,000 bucks a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless.
