• Intel is preparing to launch its new range of dedicated graphics cards - competing with Nvidia and AMD - to great fanfare.
  
  Well, some fanfare.
  
  A little fanfare. (The Verge)
  
  Intel's high-end A750 card will compete against Nvidia's definitely not high-end RTX 3060, at least on some games. Five games, to be precise. Intel isn't talking about other games. You've got five games, what do you want?
  
  Had this launched a year ago, even with the performance caveats, Intel would have sold as many as they could make. But it's launching into a market where cards are sitting on shelves waiting to be bought at or a little below MSRP, so it's probably doomed.
  
  Intel also pulled its rather nice NUC laptop range that came with Nvidia 3060 and 3070 graphics options and replaced it with models with its own graphics chips, meaning they won't be selling any laptops either.

• How to lose friends and horrify people: A quintuple indirect Hello, world program in Python. (Mathspp)
  
  If you're a Python programmer this is worth a look because it's just obscuring simple code with advanced techniques, not obfuscated in the way of C contests.
