Daily Tech News 1 August 2022

Top Story

The HP Pavilion Plus 14 could be the new best small laptop, taking over from the HP Pavilion Aero. (PC Magazine)

Fully kitted out it has 16GB of RAM (enough for most users, though I'd like a 32GB option), 1TB of SSD, a 2880x1800 90Hz OLED display, and an Intel i7-12700H with 6 Performance cores and 8 Efficiency cores.

I/O consists of two USB-C ports (not Thunderbolt, but they support DisplayPort video and charging), two USB-A ports, HDMI, microSD, and a headphone jack. For some reason they're all on the opposite side to my current Dell Inspiron 14 - well, except USB-A where both conveniently have one on each side.

And it has the Four Essential Keys.

That configuration will set you back $1029 in the US (on sale right now, normally $1229), or $2699 in Australia.

Which... Wow. Shipping sure is expensive, huh?

The reason I'd still consider it is that it's 30% faster than my current laptop single-threaded, and two and a half times as fast multi-threaded. It's faster than my full-size Inspiron 16, and a lot lighter.

I previously asked why companies like HP, if they were only going to import one model of a laptop, didn't just choose the high-end model so that we weren't stuck with low-end specs. I guess this is why.

Tech News

Intel is planning to obsoleterate 12th generation laptops like the Pavilion Plus before the end of the year. (Tom's Hardware)

13th generation laptop chips were originally scheduled for early 2023, but have now reportedly been brought forward to this year. That probably means we'll see laptops with the new chips announced by Christmas but good luck getting your hands on one before March.
Meanwhile Intel's Sapphire Rapids server chips, originally expected in Q3 2022, are now due in Q1 2023. (WCCFTech)

These are targeted at AMD's third generation Epyc server parts, but will ship months after AMD's fourth generation.
Nvidia's upcoming RTX 4070 will be 80% faster than the 3070 for the same price unless it won't. (WCCFTech)

There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and computer industry leaks.
Linus Torvalds is dogfooding Linux on an Arm-based Mac. (Kernel.org)

From the adage "eat your own dogfood", meaning use your own product to catch problems before your customers do.

Linux has been ported to Apple's Arm-based systems with precisely zero help from Apple, who would rather it didn't exist.
They had to count them all: 200 holes in Luna's lithosphere. (Live Science)

The existence of the holes isn't the exciting part, though. The exciting part is they're sheltered and maintain a fairly steady 17C (63F) meaning that we don't need to dig our own holes to construct a comfy Moonbase.

Huge stockpiles of nuclear waste also entirely optional.
Did Anonymous follow through on their Twitter boast and actually hack Russian websites? Apparently, yes. (CNBC)

An independent researcher worked with CNBC and found that 92% of Russian sites in a random survey had been compromised, and the data leaked by Anonymous seems to be legit.

In fact the complaint is that there is so much leaked data from Russian sites floating around that no-one has the time to even begin to analyse it all.

Except probably China.
Hololive's Houshou Marine has crossed the two million subscriber mark - the first from the main Japanese branch and only the third worldwide to do so, and Omaru Polka has crossed the one million mark, becoming I think the 32nd Hololive talent with more than a million subscribers.

verb [with object] chiefly US
cause (a product or idea) to be or become obsolete by replacing it with something new: we're trying to stimulate the business by obsoleting last year's designs.

Amelia has slowed down at the moment, so it's a bit hard to say. Pekora and Fubuki from the JP branch look like a sure thing before the end of the year, and possibly also Kobo, Hololive's massively successful experiment to create an Indonesian Gura clone.

34 Initial plans were for a lot more Saturn V launches, approximately 120 were envisioned. Manned mission to Mars for 1984-1986 (optimal time window to minimize energy expenditure).

The lunar orbit rendezvous or LOR was the best method to get there quickly but in some ways, was kind of a dead end. Once Pres. Kennedy's mission was accomplished, the funding dried up and they went with the flying brick (Shuttle) and other boring stuff. I agree there should be tourist flights to the Moon by now, it would have been routine.

87 Had the space program been followed through and expanded, then it wouldn't cost $10k per pound in the first place, this conversation would be moot. There would have been 3 or 4 Elons a generation or two ago, that's the point. America was so far ahead of everyone it wasn't even close.

They've thrown everything away, including the "middle class", deindustrialized thousands of factories providing good careers, waging assymetric war on energy, left our national borders wide open to invasion etc. Universities being deconstructed. And so it goes, till it don't.

88 I like Star Trek, and I like Uhura, but I think it's ridiculous that Biden found time to comment on her passing with all the other shit going on I the world. Saying she redefined what black women could do by being on a TV show is ridiculous. When Oprah passes we may have to change the name of the month in mourning.

105 Besides, the kiss between Uhura and Kirk in "Plato's Stepchildren" was *not* the first interracial kiss on network TV. It might have been the first between black and white; but Robert Culp, I think, had kissed France Nuyen, his future wife, on an episode of I Spy two years before. Asian-white is still interracial.

There are other items listed in the Wiki article, but that one comes first to mind.

121 This is the time of year that the orbweavers make giant ceiling-to-floor webs. One is living in my right sideview mirror on the car. He makes a big web overnight, then when I go for a drive he hangs on while the web whips and tatters down to one thick thread in the wind. He spins around "whoa! whoa! whoa!" dangling from the end. Then I get home and he tucks himself back into the mirror. He keeps getting bigger, so I guess he's OK with the abuse.
