India has launched an ambitious mission to the Moon
Today is a historical day for space and science and technology in India.
On Monday, an Indian rocket launched a spacecraft bound for the Moon from Sriharikota, a barrier island off the Bay of Bengal coast. This Chandrayaan-2 mission is the second spacecraft India has sent to the Moon, and it represents a significant effort to explore the lunar surface and its potential as a source for water ice.This is amazing that they can do that, considering they are still getting british aid and all our services are suffering.
Not really as amazing as that they can do this without feeding their people.
Priorities a bit wrong, hey!
Maybe they think our priorities are screwed up. Feeding people, when you could be going to the moon?
Or maybe they think there is more food on the moon than in all of India.
It is made of cheese after all.
But can you afford to bring enough back?
Who says they want to come back? Have you seen most of India?

I'm perfectly fine eating cheese without crackers. Brie taste just as good off of a spoon.

With dab of honey too.

Leaks reveal a trio of iPhone 11 releases to come from Apple this fall
Expect to hear all about the A13 chip and a new Taptic Engine this fall.
Apple often introduces a new wave of hardware at its fall event, and this year the company seems to be preparing a fresh trio of iPhones. The new models will be powered by Apple’s A13 chip and will still be equipped with Lightning ports rather than USB-C. -

Nvidia RTX 2080 Super hands-on: The result when AMD is out of striking distance
Last year's $799 card is this year's slightly upgraded $699 card, but is it "Super"?
Earlier this month, Nvidia kicked a stool out from under AMD's feet, just as the graphics-card sector began heating up anew. AMD was set to land a serious blow with new RX 5700 cards in the "pricey but reasonable" range—a range that Nvidia had failed to capture with its "entry-level" RTX cards, the 2060 and 2070. Nvidia responded to AMD's news by unveiling and launching a surprise pair of solid "Super" cards. AMD responded with its own price cut (and a claim that this price-war dance was its plan all along).
As these similarly specced cards jostled for the "$400ish" crown, the winner was ultimately consumers. At every price point, new GPU buyers can expect a solid bang-for-buck quotient between the $349 AMD Radeon RX 5700 and the $499 Nvidia RTX 2070 Super. -

Looks like I get to see how the upgrade process goes.

Been thinking of wiping and starting a fresh on my home lab. Maybe time to try XCP-ng again.

I've been running beta for about a month, the upgrade was as smooth as any other minor upgrade using the ISO. It's a bummer the yum updates don't work for major upgrades, but it's not that big of a hassle.

I'm still on 7.4 and am waffling between going to 7.6 or 8. I have E5540 Xeons and I'll need to check the compatibility lists 1st.

Guidemaster: Ars tested and found the best USB-C accessories you can get now
These USB-C hubs, SSDs, mice, and more are the ones worth buying for your new computer.
The transition to USB-C hasn't been smooth or swift, but that won't matter when you need to upgrade accessories to fit your new USB-C computer. OEMs started forcing users into the USB-C world by making their flagship laptops and tablets USB-C only. And while USB-A ports aren't scarce by any means, it's likely that your newest or next laptop will rely primarily on USB-C for connectivity. -

You probably wont find it on any compatibility lists because it's so old. I have (2) E5649 in my home lab and both 7.6 and 8.0 work/ed flawlessly.

It's an old HP. They had just done away with the hand crank. I have no complaints with this system. I've seen quite a few posts on the XCP-ng forum with odd behavior with older systems. Either way, I have current backups.
