A leading hardware company has lost its leader. Earlier today in Taiwan, MSI general manager and CEO Charles Chiang passed away after falling from one of the company’s buildings. Chiang, 56, had been with MSI for more than two decades before taking over as chief executive in 2019. A man who was fined for Engineering without a license has been vindicated. In 2017 Motherboard shared the story of Mats Järlström, the Oregon electrical engineer who challenged the state’s traffic light timing. What began as a simple quest to help his wife avoid an unfair ticket turned into a multi-year saga after the Oregon Board of Engineers fined him thousands of dollars—simply because he dared discuss the issue when he wasn’t technically a traffic engineer. Unlike many stories, Järlström’s saga finally has a happy ending. Google, or rather another subsidy of their parent company Alphabet, have launched balloon internet in Kenya. In a blog post announcing the news, Loon’s CEO Alastair Westgarth said that the 4G LTE service will be provided to Telkom Kenya subscribers via a fleet of around 35 balloons, covering an area of around 50,000 square kilometers across western and central areas of the country, including its capital, Nairobi. Some reviews turned up yesterday for AMD's new "XT" range of 3000-series Ryzen CPUs. As mentioned earlier these seem to mostly offer slightly higher Turbo speeds than their X equivalent, but have the nice side effect of pushing the pricing of the older CPUs down.
