Daily Tech News 19 February 2023

Top Story

Mostly quiet on the tech news front right now.

Microsoft gave Bing the Rosemary Kennedy treatment so there's no more fun there. D&D is still slowly circling the drain, but nobody wants to flush it down. Daily crypto disasters but measured in single-digit millions rather than double-digit billions.

Probably a good thing on the whole.

Tech News

The world is suddenly swimming in cobalt, which is a bad idea because it's a toxic heavy metal. (The Economist)

Mostly thanks to the global don't-call-it-a-recession, not due to any new discoveries or technical advances.
Micron's new 24Gb RAM chips have been picked up by Corsair to produce 24GB and 48GB modules. (Tom's Hardware)

Not official yet, but prices have leaked and the cost per gigabyte is exactly in line with existing 32GB modules. I was actually expecting a hefty premium for these.
Need a couple of terabits per second of IO bandwidth in your desktop PC? ASRock has you covered. (Tom's Hardware)

Except they don't. That number comes from ASRock's own website but it's off by a factor of four. Half a terabit, sure. One terabit if you count both directions, I guess. Two terabits, two cards.

Apparently this quad M.2 PCIe 5.0 adaptor card will come bundled with their motherboard for the new Intel workstation CPUs, so I'll be looking for more details on that as well.

LOOK what YOU did, Ms. #1.

12 I know, my second first in February! Got one on an ONT as well. All happy coincidence.

Posted by: Miley, okravangelist at February 19, 2023 04:24 AM (Mzdiz)

13 Technically, we are only supposed to work 80 hours in a 2 week pay period. Due to manning problems, that hasn't been possible until now (Worked 84 hours. No, the beltway bandits I work for won't pay that extra 4 hours). So, I have lots of comp time. My new fellow midshift colleagues have even more than I do. Might be working for a new beltway bandit company next year. Maybe. That will result in lots of turnover and chaos. Otherwise known as the Babylon DC Circle of Life. (shrugs, sips beer)
