Actually, it is possible to dock large ships on M-pads! - Pawb.Social

getting a Type 9 docked on an M-pad is easier than i thought. if you dock at a planetary construction size, finish construction and then relog without undocking, you’ll spawn in docked at the newly built settlement. even if they don’t have any L-pads! now i have to try to dock a T9 on an S-pad…

The GIMPS has discovered a new prime: M136279841 - Pawb.Social

It has been about six years since M82589933 was proven to be prime. Hope it won’t take another six years to find the next one. This also marks the beginning of a new era of GPU supported prime discovery in favor of using Prime95. The newly found prime has 41024320 digits, all of which you may download here: https://www.mersenne.org/primes/ [https://www.mersenne.org/primes/]

Intel has finally tracked down the problem making 13th- and 14th-gen CPUs crash - Pawb.Social

apparently intel has finally figured out why 13th and 14th gen CPU are failing. the issue is mainly caused by a faulty microcode algorithm, which causes the CPU requesting more voltage than it needs and results in oxidation issues within the chip itself. CPU’s that do not show any symptoms yet could be saved by a microcode update, but there is no real hope for those that already started to rust away

Google Chrome has an API accessible only from *.google.com - Pawb.Social

So apparently Chrome ships with an extension that is invisible to the user, can not be disabled and allows any *.google.com page to get detailed information about CPU and memory usage. It is apparently at least 10 years old, was originally developed to debug Hangouts and people do claim that it is also shipped in Brave and Edge. Who knows what else might be hidden in there!
