First time as tragedy, second time as farce, third time as an episode of Seinfeld: There's a Chinese spy balloon drifting over Montana. (ABC News - no, the other one)

The Pentagon is tracking it but not taking any action due to the risks involved.

Of shooting down a balloon.

Over Montana.

AMD's 128 core Bergamo CPUs have been confirmed for launch in the first half of this year. (WCCFTech)

That's one of three expected server CPU launches from AMD this year: Bergamo with 128 cores, Genoa-X with 96 cores but over 1GB of cache, and Siena, a smaller, cheaper version of Epyc that will nonetheless still offer more cores than not only Intel's latest Sapphire Rapids chips but also Intel's next-generation Emerald Rapids.
Twitter is cancelling free access to its API and replacing it with a "basic paid tier". (The Verge)

Details are somewhere between sketchy and non-existent at the moment except for the date - February 9th.

I suspect the focus here is not so much on revenue as on bots. Twitter is just awash in bots, and has been for years.

I'm not saying the stupid posts you see coming from Twitter are all fake though. Sorry if I got your hopes up. No, people really are that stupid and the world will end in flames pretty soon.

Disclaimer: If we're lucky.
