Daily Tech News 28 April 2022

• Quick one today because I worked until 1:30 AM because we have two major customers launching at the same time and then got woken up at 3:00 AM because I made an error in change management because a normally non-critical function is critical today only. Yay.
  
  
  
• Well, someone's enjoying himself.
  
  

  Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in

• It's the quicker picker upper. And putter downer too if you drank the whole thing.
  

  This is the first publicly sold bottle of Coca-Cola in 1894 which contained 3.5 grams of cocaine. Bring it back. pic.twitter.com/Q05JqrCrel

• Google has launched its new Media CDN. (Tech Crunch)
  
  This is a regular CDN only with built-in AI, machine learning, and ad insertion, all very sound reasons to avoid it like the plague.
  
  
  
• Dell's latest XP3 13 Plus has everything but the 4 Essential Keys and decent I/O. (Liliputing)
  
  3840x2400 OLED display, 14 core (6P + 8E) i7-1280P CPU, 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 2TB of SSD. I/O is just two Thunderbolt 4 ports - not even a headphone jack or microSD slot.
  
  The 1280P is welcome - it's a slightly lower power form of the 12700H which absolutely demolishes Intel's previous generation chips for thin-and-light laptops and competes well with AMD's 5000-series and 6000-series chips except in graphics.
  
  
  
• All the chemical bases in DNA and RNA have now been found within meteorites. (ScienceNews)
  
  Which is a hint that if we find life elsewhere in the galaxy it will be edible.
  
  
  
• QNAP. (Bleeping Computer)
  
  Again.
  
  
  
• Those people are so fired they're going to have to find a whole new word for it.
