Daily Tech News 5 July 2026

Top Story

Apple's upcoming A20 Pro phone CPU could be the company's first chip to use LPDDR6 memory - and to increase the bus width from 64 bits to 96 bits. (WCCFTech)

The 96-bit width is actually a natural result of DDR6 architecture, which instead of having two 32-bit subchannels (each with optional ECC) is broken down into four 24-bit channels (each comprised of two 12-bit subchannels) with extra ECC bits coming from a multi-word burst. If you read twelve 12-bit words from memory, for example, you get four 32-bit words plus 16 bits of error-correcting data.

Which means that while all DDR5 memory has on-die ECC, all DDR6 memory has both on-die and end-to-end ECC.

And 50% more bandwidth. Actually more than that in time, as DDR6 will support higher speeds than DDR5.
Though you won't be able to afford it. (WCCFTech)

Budget phones are expected to disappear for at least a couple of years as memory prices simply push them out of the market. If manufacturers have to spend $200 for 8GB of RAM, saving $5 on the CPU makes no sense.

Retail memory price increases are set to slow for the simple reason that nobody can afford it anymore. (Tom's Hardware)

The third derivative of distance is called jerk, just like Sam Altman.
Smaller electronics companies will be turning to products that use minimal amounts of memory, like this fancy typewriter-styled keyboard from Epomaker. (WCCFTech)

But does it have the Four Essential Keys?

Yes?

Very good then. Carry on.
Score one for Bluesky? (Tech Crunch)

The denizens there were properly scornful of a Google ad showing the Founding Fathers using Gemini to draft the Declaration of Independence.

They might hate America, but they hate AI even more.
Speaking of which, Grok has started illustrating answers to questions... Some of the time. Helpful - well, not actually helpful, but notable - in illustrating a geodesic through a four dimensional planetary structure.

Thankfully it didn't illustrate the question I posed about the plausibility of decapitating an Amphicyonid with a single sword blow.

(I am probably on a list somewhere simply titled "Huh?")
Lenovo has started including YMTC-manufactured SSDs in its mainstream computers. (Tom's Hardware)

Not available in the US, as the Chinese memory makers CXMT and YMTC are both under sanctions. I actually have a couple of YMTC SSDs I bought early this year, as they are not under sanctions here in Australia, and they were the last models to increase in price.
Speaking of which wars are blurring the lines between corporate and national security. (MSN)

The link to this article posed it as a question so I was planning to hit it with an inverse Betteridge's Law, but the article simply states it as fact, with good reason.
Italian investment group Bending Spoons has held a successful IPO giving it a valuation of $18 billion. (Tech Crunch)

Who?

You might not have heard the name, but they own the remnants of former high-flying American tech companies like Meetup, Eventbrite, Vimeo... And AOL.
Supergirl is not the box office disaster suggested by its disaster at the box office. (Ars Technica)

Even the comments are suggesting the Ars staff need to go a little lighter on the shrooms.
In the big Amazon Prime Day sale I picked up a subscription to anime streaming service Hidive at 75% off.

Wow. That stuff is bad. Mostly.

They do at least have Gate.

Worth the A$2.25 I paid, but not worth keeping once it reverts to full price.

18 Evening and morning, Blonde Morticia (who is in a class quite by herself) and you other satraps and satellites! 'Tis Sunday, the beginning of the USA's 251st year. Let's make it a good one.

I woke from a dream about Buffy the Vampire Slayer trying to board the same plane as a villain, possibly a vampire (though with the whole "daylight destroying vamps" thing, that's unlikely). The vampire got to the plane just ahead of her, and the staff shut the door. Buffy was going to be half a day behind him and whatever horror he was planning to perpetrate -- a big setback for the plot.

Then Stirling the big black cat nestled in next to me, and I realized I was (a) awake, (b) no longer sleepy. Guess I'll never know how that one came out.

I slept thru most of the fireworks, but at about midnight, there was a rumble and roar like I had never heard before that woke me up. Not sure if it was the finale or what, but I'm 9 miles from the Mall, so...

21 In that video, Grace Slick (?), the lead vocalist, has a burning intensity when she looks at you, as if trying to beam a message right into your brain. I got the message. It read something like "I'm hot, and you know it."

I have a dim memory of one of Esquire's Dubious Achievement Awards issues, in which the short bit appeared telling us that Grace was going to name her child "god." Why the lower case, the magazine asked. To which Grace was supposed to have replied, "Because we have to be humble about this."

Since her only child, according to Wiki, is named "China Wing Kantner," I suppose this was a complete gag by the magazine from start to finish.

22 I'm discussing with Grok a plan to plunder two of Jules Verne's works at the same time for a novella-length story set in, basically, a matryoshka doll of weirdness. Mostly because when I read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as a child I didn't know what a league was and was very confused when I looked it up.

25 There was the constant rattle of small-arms fire and boom of artillery last night, sending Stirling into a tizzy. Excuse me, I meant fireworks. (Though considering this city, it could well have been small-arms fire and artillery.) Despite wolfing his calming chews, melatonin, he still hid under the bed. Despite her calming chews treats, Dagny was edgy, but stayed out in the living room, racing around and then relaxing on the carpet.

Cats. Who can understand 'em?

29 We watched Mr. Smith Goes to Washington last night. Still a fine film, a career definer for James Stewart, a wonderful performance by Jean Arthur (who is billed above Stewart), and colorful work by Claude Rains, Eugene Palette, and Edward Arnold.

If it has a flaw, to me, it's that it ends too quickly and abruptly. Smith collapses after his 23-hour filibuster; it looks like his crusade is over; and then Rains's Sen. Paine goes berserk, shouting that Smith is right, that he himself is corrupt and should be expelled from the Senate. And that's pretty much it. It needed a quick, possibly wordless scene where Jean's character goes to Stewart's, revives him and kisses him, and they embrace. *Then* The End.

83 SanFranpsycho, they probably are. Salmonella is shed in urine and feces.

85 San Franpsycho,

I think you have it figured out. Sorry this has happened. You both are in my prayers.

86 I ran into a parked car once, but I was 12 years old and on my Schwinn Stingray. I was cruising down our residential street, and there was some girl on the other side of the street, so I started watching her and quit looking ahead. And suddenly there was this parked car.

When I ran into the back of it, the bike stopped instantly but I kept moving. My butt flew off that banana seat and into the handlebar fork in front, and I got the nutcracking to end all nutcrackings. I remember crawling into the grass of the nearby yard and just laying there for about 10 minutes before I could even stand up again.

88 She had an endoscopy Tuesday and never recovered. imho that is the source of her infection. She was perfectly fine Monday and Tuesday morning and the hospital seems like it is in CYA mode.

Any Muzzie or other DEI practitioners involved with the initial procedure?

89 "Wing" was Grace's maiden name, and "Kantner" was the Jefferson Airplane/Starship band member who fathered the girl.

There are not a lot of women running around today named “China”, even so.

That's where my thinking is too. Prayers SF, may she recover quickly now they know what it is.
