Daily Tech News 23 April 2022

Top Story

It's the weekend or something closely approaching that, which means that it's Question and Answer time or... Something closely approaching that.

Put something resembling a question in the comments below and I'll put something resembling an answer in the post tomorrow.
Netflix wants to invest in fewer, better originals. (Thurrott.com)

The company plans to invest $20 billion in original content, and has indicated that they'd like at least one or two shows not to suck.
Because apparently the original plan of flooding the end zone with liquid shit hasn't been a runaway success. (Pajiba)

Netflix lost 200,000 subscribers in a quarter where they had expected to gain 2.5 million. Not me, though. I quit years ago. All my entertainment spending gets dumped into Hololive. Uh, and Nijisanji, and Prism, and indies. I spend a lot more on vtubers than I ever did on streaming services and it's still infinitely better value for money because they don't immediately turn around and use that money to destroy everything I love.

Tech News

TSMC's 3nm process is on track, 2nm still a long way off. (AnandTech)

N3 - the basic 3nm node - is due to start production this year. The enhanced N3E is due for the first half of 2023. Keep in mind that advanced chips take about six months from the start of manufacturing to appearing on the shelves in finished products.

TSMC's 3nm brings the same level of advances over 5nm that 5nm has over 7nm: 15% faster, 30% more efficient, and 40% smaller. My newest computers are built on Intel's 10nm and TSMC's 7nm process, so 3nm would completely blow them out of the water.

TSMC's 2nm N2 node is not expected to enter production until the second half of 2025, where Intel's theoretically equivalent 20A node is scheduled for the first half of 2024. (AnandTech)

Whether the nodes are in fact equivalent and whether either company will stick to that question I have no idea. Though Intel is expected to be one of the first customers on TSMC's 2nm node and why they'd do that when their own 2nm node will come a year earlier is a very good question.

All that aside, at this rate we'll be pushing the limits of bulk planar silicon by the end of the decade; further advances will require a change in approach.

Though that means that without the Red Queen's Race of updating fabs every couple of years to remain competitive, chip production will become much, much cheaper. Compare the cost of a couple of trillion transistors of 3D NAND flash against the same transistor count in logic - sixty RTX 3090 GPU chips from Nvidia.
Analysts predict the end is near for the global chip shortage. (Tom's Hardware)

We're doomed.
Not least because with China seemingly determined to self-destruct we could be in for a supply chain meltdown that makes the last two years look like an all-you-can-eat Vegas buffet. (General Crisis Watch)

Chinese provinces home to hundreds of millions of people have either gone into lockdown or closed their internal borders to prevent escalation of a COVID outbreak that has officially killed 17 people.
Speaking of which, I found the 128GB of RAM I bought to upgrade my laptops. I was going to do that over Christmas, then the blockchain melted down and I had to pull an 80 hour week during my vacation, which put me behind schedule on my other work, which snowballed until I pulled some more 80 hour weeks to clear the backlog, whereupon I discovered I had to move house by the end of May.

Anyway. RAM located, upgrades can proceed. I need to get that done before I move because I won't be able to find anything smaller than a breadbox for six months afterwards.

One of the reasons I was in a hurry to buy so much computer stuff earlier this year is that I was anticipating a possible Chinese interdiction or even invasion of Taiwan. Which is appallingly cynical of me but all my old computers were dying and not being able to work for a living would be something of an inconvenience.

Now I'm expecting just as much supply chain disruption overall but in different areas. Might be living in a half-empty house for a while.
You can now buy the Framework laptop motherboard for your own projects. (Tom's Hardware)

Starts at $399 with a Core i5-1135G7. It supports up to 64GB RAM, one M.2 SSD, and four USB-C ports for everything else.

Now do a Ryzen 6000 model. And the Four Essential Keys.
Apropos of nothing, I bought a big bag of salted cashews last weekend that turned out to be contaminated with gluten, so that was fun.
Softbank is planning an IPO of Arm at a $60 billion valuation - but maintain a controlling stake. (Tom's Hardware)

The $40 billion sale to Nvidia foundered on regulatory rocks, but Arm is a technically solid company and is finally making some inroads into the server market.

The woke plague hasn't yet infected semiconductor design the way it has software development, because preparing a new chip for production can cost up to half a billion dollars. The beancounters still rule with an iron fist.
I deployed an Ubuntu 22.04 virtual server. I also noticed that Percona has a release of MongoDB 5.0 out - 5.0.7 in fact - which indicates that it may now be stable enough for use.

Percona's MongoDB 5.0 won't install on Ubuntu 22.04.

Oh well.
Will Microsoft cut off security updates if I run an unsupported install of Windows 11? (ZDNet)

ZDNet is also running a weekly Q&A post. They point out that Microsoft says you won't be entitled to receive updates, not that you won't receive updates.
Ebook services are bringing "unhinged conspiracy books" into public libraries. (Motherboard)

Oh no, books. In libraries. World ends, film at eleven.
Twitter has banned ads contradicting the "consensus" opinion on climate change. (Washington Post)

I'm less concerned about Twitter blocking ads than I am about them banning accounts because I block every account I see with a promoted tweet.
Tech companies face substantial fines if they fail to meet the EU's new content rules, whatever they are. (Bloomberg)

The rules forbid targeting ads based on race or religion, targeting ads to children, and using "dark patterns" like making the Decline button smaller or harder to see than Accept.

And fines can be up to 6% of annual gross revenue. Not profit, revenue.

*talk about a loaded question*

#2 -- (an actual tech ? ) -- isn't there some kind of quantum limit on how narrow the channels are between individual chip lanes, before 'crosstalk' (or sometimes called quantum tunneling) becomes a major issue? If you keep lowering the barrier, soon there will be pain.

17 Or maybe it's marmots who need protection:

marmot |ˈmärmət|
noun
a heavily built, gregarious, burrowing rodent of both Eurasia and North America, typically living in mountainous country.
[Genus Marmota, family Sciuridae: several species.]
ORIGIN
early 17th century: from French marmotte, probably via Romansh murmont from late Latin mus montanus ‘mountain mouse’; compare with French marmotter ‘mutter through the teeth.’

From following that Windows 11 "not entitled" stuff, I learned there's a way to force Windows 11 to install without a TPM chip (or equivalent). I wanted to play with installing Win 11 in a VM just to see, so I may try that workaround (nothing but a registry change, basically a "bypass TPM" flag in the setup settings).

Several of my machines have a TPM, and this one here has the Intel PTT, which can emulate that and work for Win 11, but I've disabled it all, so I don't have to worry about Windows Update trying to install Win 11 when I'm not looking.

He said, "This type of individualism in the U.S. wasn't there all the time. It exploded at a certain point with this new wave of populist rebellions. It worries me very much. Let's take a simple example: I am free to walk to a store to buy something I want. But to enjoy my liberties there are so many rules that I and others strive to obey. We are not aware enough of how much of our actual liberties are sustained by the space of customs, not only explicit legal rules but unwritten customs."

They have always hated sharing space with Virginia. One of their standing orders is to shape VA in their own image. Untill recently, they have been quite successful.

193 Two African countries – Burundi and Tanzania – had Presidents who banned the WHO from their borders, and refused to go along with the Pandemic narrative. Both Presidents died unexpectedly within months of that decision, only to be replaced by new Presidents who instantly reversed their predecessor’s covid policies.

Less than a week after the death of President Pierre Nkurunziza, the IMF agreed to forgive almost 25 million dollars of Burundi’s national debt in order to help combat the Covid19 “crisis”.

Just five months after the death of President John Magufuli, the new government of Tanzania received 600 million dollars from the IMF to “address the covid19 pandemic”.

It’s pretty clear what happened here, isn’t it?

Globalists backed coups and rewarded the perpetrators with “international aid”. The proposals for the Pandemic treaty would simply legitimise this process, moving it from covert back channels to overt official ones.

211 Hi Pixy! Thanks for all you do here. I have a question.

I volunteered to manage a legacy static website for a radio club. The original creators and maintainers are gone, of course. I've been simply hand-editing the html, and that's easy for me.

Now the club wants me to choose a 'drag-and-drop' tool, so that 'anybody' can take over for me when I leave. I do agree it's good to plan for succession.

The last web builders I used were FrontPage and Dreamweaver. (I hated them.) So I'm way out of date on choosing a current tool. I see most of them are SaaS now, e.g., Wix.

Ideally, what I'd like is: Free, or at least non-subscription. Not locked into a particular domain provider. Won't obsolete in the next five years.

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again!

219 Chinese provinces home to hundreds of millions of people have either gone into lockdown or closed their internal borders to prevent escalation of a COVID outbreak that has officially killed 17 people.

You know, stuff like this makes me wonder, cuz;

If I were to decide to wage biological warfare on the rest of the world:
1) I would be China. Perhaps India. With a huge population, where I could lose a few hundred millions and still be hunky-dory
2) I would make the virus contagious so easily caught, but not too contagious
3) I would aim that virus to be most deadly initially to the least utilitarian portion of my population, ie. old people.
4) And here's the donut... I would make it so that it it had a sting in the tail. Perhaps cause cancer within the next 5 years or so. Perhaps long term liver failure. Or something like kuru. So, even when you get over it, you're not over it.

A China shutdown could just be an economic stress attack on the rest of the world, which I believe could work very much in their favor long term.
It also could be that they're now afraid that the viral weapon they design is much more contagious and likely to backfire.

265 If no one has seen the shaky Putin video yet, it's worth a look. The consensus opinion appears to be Parkinsons. Really bad.

274 Pity, moving into new house with brand new Ethernet wiring. 2.5G Ethernet at lest, puncher's chance of 10G (all but 2 runs depending on length).

What is a good book or detailed tutorial on more advanced networking (managed switches, L2/L3, vlan)? Counted, have ~45 devices with IPs, 2 home businesses, Synology NAS, so probably overdue to think about network layout.

275 Pixy - Questions:

1. Your dev work is seemingly done on all manner of platforms. How much of your work time is spent using each of the main ones?

2. How much fiddley biting do you have to do to get the various Chromium browsers to behave? Theoretically it should be zero fiddley biting but we are dealing with code, nothing is ever what is seems to be. This goes up by a factor of 10 once you are dealing 3 lines of code.

Motivation here: Just to get sense of what it is like to work in the modern complex software universe. I once knew a thing or two about computers and then I discovered being old and drinking is a lot more productive use of my time. This last point will either inspire hope or terror in you for your future.

276 Pixy Misa, you are my fave AoS contributor. Your daily tech report is one of my daily must reads. I have an old MSI all-in-one desktop gaming computer, with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4870HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz and 16 GB of RAM. It was pretty hot stuff back when I bought it, but it's slowly dying now. I had to replace a SSD a year or so back, and it's never been the same. It used to boot up in 30seconds or less, now it takes several minutes and only after a bunch of error messages. Can you recommend a gaming laptop replacement? Thanx.

277 I am tempted to cancel all of my streaming services and just watch Rekieta Law, Friday Night Tights, The Jack Show and anything Warhammer 40k lore related on youtube for free. I highly recommend Rekieta late night show Mon-Fri, it is informative and hilarious.

278 Pixy Question:

I want to set up a remote disk for external storage for an old Mac and a couple of Linux machines, and maybe an old XP. I want to use the remote disk as a primitive Dropbox. I am looking for a cheap solution.

I don't know if it makes a difference but everything is on powerline ethernet. No wifi because my computers are located in sheet metal outbuildings.

Thanks!

279 Browsing with a 2nd gen iPhone SE. Last week when I clicked on “Continue reading” on an article on the site, it opened the link in a new background tab and then redirected to some kind of spammy link. Just checked again this morning and things seem back to normal. Some kind of problem on my end?

280 Pixy,

Jumping in quite late but as to your new house and supply chain problems - you might look locally for furniture and fixings. Odds are there are some folks around where you'll be that craft some pretty nifty things. The Nextdoor app is worldwide, AFAICT, so once you're in the neighborhood you might ask if anyone makes the stuff you want.

281 Pixie, is there any way to get rid of the "Toe Fungus" ads??

I don't mind giving ya'll a penny or two, otherwise I'd just turn on my ad blocker lol.

Thanks for all you do!!

282 Is there any Windows 10/11 compatible full disk encryption software with no known back doors - so open source and trivially compilable?

Lest anyone think I'm up to anything nefarious, I live in Canada. Using Patreon could retroactively make me a terrorist when I'm not looking.
