Bit of a mix of articles this week including some political, phishing and new releases.
This is quite a long post by Troy Hunt covering the increasing issue of metadata retention by ISPs and the effect it is happening.
It looks like this has now been patched in the newest version of Google Chrome (So update!) but this technique of using Unicode domains could’ve been pretty big.
10 years in the making, Intel are releasing a new SSD that is rumored to be five-to-eight times faster than NAND SSDs. Unfortunately its unlikely to be available in any commercial products this year.
This is a sad time for OpenStack as Intel pulls out of a joint effort it made with Rackspace. This isn’t the first time this has happened recently either with Cisco and HPE both shifting their focus to other areas.
The final post for this week is a sad day for anyone with an NVIDIA graphics card. Hope you enjoy running Node.js on your system!
Thats it for this week! I’m trying to stay away from tools and just stick to articles, let me know what you think. Don’t forget to checkout our GitHub repository for getting involved with next weeks issue.
P.S. Did you know we’re also posting these to Medium? If that is your preferred format drop on by!
