Top Story

As Threads "soars", Bluesky and Mastodon are adopting algorithmic feeds. (Tech Crunch)

You will eat the bugs. You will live in the pod. You will read what we tell you. You will own nothing and we don't much care if you are happy.
Soars straight into the ground: Most of the hundred million people who accidentally clicked over from Instagram to Threads have stopped using it. (Ars Technica)

The article notes that Threads' count of active users dropped by 75% in two weeks. It doesn't mention that the amount of time the remaining users spend on the app also dropped by 75%.

Facebook and Instagram executives called this a positive sign and "better than expected". No, they really did.

Tech News

AMD has announced the Ryzen 7945HX3D, their first laptop chip with 3D v-cache. (AnandTech)

One to look out for if you're after a high-end gaming laptop. I'd like to see a workstation version with the extra cache on both dies rather than just one. Since a laptop chip is already power-constrained, adding the cache to both dies is unlikely to cause heat problems.
Aziyo Biologics has issued a product recall after its bone matrix material was found to be infected with tuberculosis. Again. (Ars Technica)

Have you guys ever considered not accidentally killing your customers?

Disclaimer: Then maybe you could move on to not intentionally killing them either.
