Daily Tech News 10 December 2021

Top Story

  • Dell has a new range of XPS desktop systems, using DDR5. For some reason. You can't buy DDR5 RAM anywhere, but you can configure a system on Dell's website with up to 128GB for an extra $1300. And it doesn't change the delivery date, which is this time next month. Whether that's realistic or not is an open question, but my latest Dell order left the factory a day ahead of schedule, so they seem to have some idea of the extent of the delays in their pipeline.

    But there's the question of how much faster memory actually helps and the answer is not much. (Tom's Hardware)

    On a range of synthetic and real-world benchmarks, upgrading from DDR4-2666 to DDR4-4600 improved performance by about 5%.


  • Gluten free nuggies and Special K are out of stock again. But I do have eight pounds of gluten free jelly beans and jelly babies, since that order arrived unimpeded, along with that little mixer I mentioned and some audio cables for it.

    What hasn't arrived yet is my new keyboard, and the . key on the current one just required percussive maintenance again.

Just a little bonus.


Party Like It's 1988 Video of the Day



Just a little bonus. For me, this time. It's been a looooong week. I had probably 60 hours of work to do even before I suddenly had to spend two days sorting out primary, secondary, and tertiary issues arising from the AWS outage.

Thank God it's Friday.

...

And the good version of the Art of Noise's Dragnet is blocked in the US. Here's Peter Gunn instead.

Wait, found a version that works. Also on the official channel. Why?
