Samsung made a last-minute deal to give massive bonuses - not as massive as SK Hynix, but still enough to pay off my entire mortgage - so everything is peachy and things can go back to normal, right? Right? (Tom's Hardware)

Yeah, right. Now every Samsung employee everywhere except the memory division is upset and seeking increased bonuses.

Notably including the division that tests and packages the bare memory dies, an essential step before they can be sold to customers.

What's the best $100 CPU right now? (Tom's Hardware)

This probably matters mostly to people who already have RAM and want to revive an old system because they can't afford to build a new one. The article compared Intel's 12100F ($80) and 14100F ($100)with AMD's Ryzen 5 5500 across a range of games and productivity tasks.

And the answer is, well, it depends. The 14100F is faster but runs hotter than the others. The 5500 is a six-core chip while the two Intel models are four cores (and no efficiency cores) so it pulls ahead on multi-threaded productivity.

All the chips run on dead platforms with no future upgrade path... Except that these are the slowest, cheapest chips on each platform so dead or not you have a lot of options. The 16-core 5950X from AMD and the 24-core 14900K from Intel are still readily available in stores. The 14900K is significantly faster than the 5950X... If you run it with DDR5 memory, where this article assumes older DDR4.
Why is Vivado 2026.1 dropping Linux support for its free tier? (AMD)

Because fuck you, apparently. An AMD representative responded, but did not answer the question.

Demo Interlude

That might not seem particularly impressive at first glance. Maybe in 1981.

But if you watch the beginning closely, you'll see the directory listing. The code that delivers this is 16 bytes.

This article explains how it works, including a complete assembly language listing.

Musical Interlude

Not Hololive's biggest hit - I didn't even know Kaela had an original song - but I like this one. Even if I don't understand a word of it - it's in Bahasa Indonesian.

36 Dr. Cyclops from 1940 was on Svengoolie last night. I hadn't realized it was in color -- the first SF film, IMDb says, filmed in the three-strip Technicolor. The effects were marvelous, with the 12-inch-tall people taking apart a scissors to make a sword, climbing on thick books to reach a height, and having to dodge an alligator and the doctor's black cat. One quibble: When a cat is stalking its prey, or watching at a mouse hole, it does not growl or hiss as in this film and many others. It is utterly silent.

Apparently, the show was losing $40 million per year. It had maybe 200 people on staff? That's a lot of money spent for such a crap production.

When I went to the Instapundit link about the grill-caused death cancer, Instapundit wanted me to verify I was human.

This seems to be a trend going forward, as even a fan-made wiki site I go to wants to know if I'm human when I visit it.

And that makes me want to pull up the intro to the M:I pilot from 1966 an watch it again. One of the best pilots ever done, and that intro style is amazing.

(No, M:I didn't create that style of using clips from the upcoming episode. I Spy used a similar style the previous year.)
