There is not much left of IBMs blockchain team

😄 Few needs blockchain technology. It is an inefficient way of storing information. It is difficult to fix errors in the data. Most companies wants to own their data.

It is fun reading about open source developers fighting

Hi Scott,

It's certainly disappointing to receive your email like that. I see that
you're really upset, and I think we have a shared interest in
deescalating this. You've mentioned the desire to talk about this in
public, so I'm responding in the announcement thread to you, as this
seems like the appropriate venue for discussion. I've also CC'd the
FreeBSD Security Officer. I've responded to your email and its threats
in line mailing-list style below:

Looks like Microsoft is not working hard on WinUI 3

https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/15/dotnet_6_preview_2/

Microsoft has released its second preview of .NET 6, but confirmed there will be no visual designer for WinUI 3.0 when it comes out in November this year.

The register

It will be hard to work fast without seeing what the XAML will look like. Will they fix all the controls so they work with WinUI 3. Many were missing the last time i looked. It will take a long time before WinUI 3 is better than WPF.

Politicians really wants power over Twitter and Facebook

They want people to write things that are good for their political parties. First amendement is going to make it difficult. Maybe they even want to change the first amendment. Sometimes i wonder we are going back to have it was before Internet. It was hard for ordinary people to write anything that lots of people would read. Media would decide what people would know about. If media decided that something should not be known, it would only be known by a few people.

I have waited a long time for Intels PCIe 4 chipset

Now their 500 series chipset is out. I am not sure it is good enough. There will be PCIe 4 only on one slot. There is no USB4 ports. Some motherboards have a Thunderbol4 port. Will that port be useful for something. My computer is getting old. It is a Intel H170 chipset. Should i wait for next generation of chipset.

Nobody needs 24bit audio at home

Sonos has announced that it has expanded its relationship with Qobuz by offering its customers a 24-bit Qobuz high-resolution streaming option.

Cepro

16bit audio have close to 100db signal/noise ratio. Why would anyone want more. Ordinary people will not care about this. People who understand audio thinks it is stupid. You have to turn up the volume very high to hear any noise from 16bit audio. They probably needed some feature to sell something. 24bit audio could be useful in audio production when they process audio.
