Introducing the Ultra EPYC AMD Powered Sun Ultra 24 Workstation # THIS
A few weeks ago, I got an itch to build a workstation with AMD EPYC. There are a few constraints. First, I needed a higher-clock part. Second, I knew the whole build would be focused more on being an ultra high-end workstation rather than simply utilizing gaming components. With that, I decided it was time…

BBC News: The real people pretending to be ‘Boris bots’ on Facebook # a fine primer on “coordinated inauthentic behaviour”

We are rapidly approaching a year of lockdown work and travel restrictions, the result of which – for many, not all – includes “living at home” and “living with your family” to extents that I imagine has not been typical for years. One of the challenges of this shift has been one of retaining some…
