Daily Tech News 22 October 2025

Top Story

So what happened? Why did Amazon's premier US-East-1 datacenter collapse, taking an uncountable number of websites and applications with it, and causing billions of dollars in losses? (Ars Technica)

DNS.

Tech News

A single-pass Turbo Pascal 3.0 compatible compiler, written in Pascal, in a single file of around 7000 lines of code. (GitHub)

And it's clean and readable, though not exactly modular or uncomplicated.
Inside a high speed optical network switch. (Serve the Home)

It's full of fiber!
Why London became the global capital of phone theft. (New York Times)

Because phone thieves didn't get arrested.
OpenAI's AI-powered browser, ChatGPT Atlas, is here. (The Verge)

Kill it with fire.
The Banana Pi R4 Pro is here. (Liliputing)

$165 gets you a quad-core Arm A73 with 8GB each of eMMC flash and RAM, two 10Gb Ethernet ports, four 2.5Gb Ethernet port, one 1Gb Ethernet port, two M.2 2280 slots for storage, three M.2 2242 B-key slots for 5G (and maybe also storage), and two mini-PCIe slots for wifi modules.
