Huawei has set up an entirely Arm-based datacenter in Moscow. (Tom's Hardware)

Free pen-testing with every server!

Tech News

Need a motherboard with up to 128 cores and 4TB of RAM? Gigabyte has you covered. (AnandTech)

At just over $1000 the board itself isn't that expensive as things go. A pair of 64 core CPUs could set you back fifteen grand, though, and 4TB of RAM gets expensive fast.
Google has teased pictures of the upcoming Pixel 6. (AnandTech)

With its mismatched colours it looks like a $79 Vietnamese knock-off.
Windows 10 will soon start automatically blocking PUPs. (Bleeping Computer)

Potentially unwanted programs - that is, programs that aren't explicitly viruses but that you don't want running.

Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on how well it is implemented. MacOS has the same feature, and when a server at Apple went down no Mac users anywhere in the world could run anything for a couple of hours.
China is now hacking phone companies throughout Southeast Asia. (ZDNet)

And by "is now" we probably mean "always has been but just got caught at it".
The Pentagon believes its new AI system can predict events days in advance. (Engadget)

The examples given are spectacularly unimpressive.

Disclaimer: They're fictional, and they're spectacularly unimpressive.
