Ray Tomlinson, the creator of the first email system and the man who saved the @ symbol from obscurity, has passed away aged 74. Tomlinson sent the very first email back in 1971; at the time, he was working in Boston at Bolt, Beranek, and Newman (BBN), a company that was instrumental in the development of a very early version of the internet, called ARPANET. As an employee, he was "looking for problems [ARPANET] could solve," Tomlinson told The Verge in a 2012 interview.
Samsung have a monster 15TB SSD. Samsung has announced that it is now shipping its PM1633a SSD. That's a boringly mundane name for a drive that's anything but: the PM1633a isn't just the biggest SSD around, it's straight-up the biggest drive around. At 15.36TB, it dwarfs other SSDs and surpasses the capacity even of the very latest magnetic spinning disks. Remarkably, it packs all this storage into a conventional 2.5-inch package.

Phoronix compared the Raspberry Pi 3 with eight other ARM Linux boards. For getting an idea of the Raspberry Pi 3 performance potential, I compared the performance to the ARM boards used in the recent 8-Way ARM Board Linux Benchmark Comparison From The Pi Zero & ODROID To Tegra made possible by Lover Pi. The comparison targets included the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, Raspberry Pi Zero, Banana Pi M2, ODROID C1 Plus, Orange Pi PC, Orange Pi Plus, NVIDIA Jetson TK1, and NVIDIA Jetson TX1. They also compared it to the newer ODROID C2. he ODROID-C2 costs just a few dollars more ($40 USD with free shipping) while having a faster SoC and other advantages.
Meanwhile Anthrox spotted this article (I think from 2013) about overclocking Arduino with LN2. Why? Because I can. To learn how electronics behave at cryogenic temperatures. And just curios how much juice you can squeeze out of AVR if you push hard enough This also produced some results relevant to desktop processors overclocking with liquid nitrogen cooling.
