    Netflix’s ad-supported plan doesn’t work on Apple TV, “older” Chromecasts, PS3

    The new $7 tier has convinced me to subscribe to the $10 720p ad-free tier instead of the $18 1080p tier. I don't think Reed really thought this through very well.

    AMD’s first Ryzen 7000 mobile CPU is a mix of old and new for midrange laptops

    2020 Athlon Gold with quad Zen 2 @ 7nm and quad CU Vega iGPU is now a better chip than the new 7020 Series Athlon Gold with only a dual core and 2CU iGPU. This saddened and disappointed me.

    HP’s 5K ultrawide all-in-one has workhorse specs, dual magnetic webcams

    I am waiting for an HP Pavilion 27 or 32 AiO with the AMD 6800U chip. Last year they announced a 27" Pavilion AiO with the 5700U but then never actually availed it. In Canada, you can get a 32" 1080p Pavilion AiO except it only comes with Intel chips. It is like Intel were paying them to...

    AMD’s Zen 4 architecture will come to laptops in 2023, Zen 5 scheduled for 2024

    I want the 6800U in an HP Pavilion AiO. Zen 4 and 5 are fine and all, but I am still back at being fixated by the marvel that is the Ryzen 7 6800U with its 12CU RDNA2 iGPU being all one needs on the edge for 1080p, and I mean, it is only just starting to come out now.

    Epic Games drags Bandcamp into its Google antitrust case

    It is true that the altruistic artist supporting model of Bandcamp is not compatible with the non-altruistic gouging of Google, where they are built upon completely opposing principles, and Google assumes that other people's billing systems must comply with its own so that there can be no...

    Tim Cook delivers speech railing against “data industrial complex,” sideloading

    Deciding what is best for others and then enforcing it upon them is called fascism.

    Epic Games begins to show it’s “more than games,” acquires Bandcamp

    Those complaining, would you rather Bandcamp be bought by UMG and then destroyed like all the other competing sites? This news is -good- news for all Bandcamp artists, and secures the service and protects it from the war on independent artists and artist services, unlike mp3com and garageband...

    Mysterious port-less laptop is 7 mm thin

    Putting the ports on the power brick is ingenious to arrive at a thin design like this. That is true innovation.

    Google loses Sonos patent case, starts stripping functionality from speakers

    The patent system needs to be scrapped. It never should have existed. It is just a racket.

    Meta’s failed Giphy deal could end Big Tech’s spending spree

    Are they thinking that giffy owns the .gif file format and that if Facebook buys that website no one can make .gif files? The ruling is ridiculous. There is nothing about Facebook buying that website that prevents anyone from making a .gif file. What I see is people who have no idea what they...

    To help people with long COVID, scientists need to define it

    Yeah but does the bus driver have brain fog, or the driver of the other car? Is the pilot suffering cerebral necrosis like the other 80% who were infected?

    Blue Origin suffers grave setback as judge dismisses lawsuit against NASA

    Building a commercial 1G Von Braun wheel in orbit is profitable compared to going to the moon. Whomever achieves 1G in orbit first wins. Nothing else matters if humans are to live apart from Earth for any duration. Losing this is the best thing that could happen to Blue Origin. Jeff does not...

    Don’t let Viasat and Dish block SpaceX Starlink approval, FCC tells court

    Every orbit shall be taken. Anyone attempting to prevent others from acquiring all available orbits does not comprehend the realities of competition, where every orbit shall be taken, and what SpaceX does not acquire, others shall take, and others do not need FCC approval to do so. Orbits are...
