Google has added a new layer of security to account logins that seems at first like it could be a security problem of its own. Starting now, Google requires JavaScript in order to log into your account via a web browser. Do they also want us to keep the house key under the mat by the door?

Venerable photo sharing site Flickr has announced that from January 8, 2019, free accounts will be limited to 1,000 photos or videos. Free isn't a business model?

My brain associated it with Yahoo, so it assumed it was dead like the rest of it.
And Google killing services? That's like a day of the week ending in 'y'. /sigh

Last week, Anker debuted a tiny new power brick, crediting its small size with the component it uses instead of silicon: gallium nitride (GaN). It’s the latest example of the growing popularity of this transparent, glass-like material that could one day unseat silicon and cut energy use worldwide. I'd make a joke about having to rename the Valley, but they already did.

FWIW, in the 1970s, my father did research for GE on Gallium arsenide (GaAs) and radiation hardening. My memory is that it was promising, but not cost effective, especially since you could achieve enough of the desired goals with silicon with far higher yield rates. (For example, GaAs is radiation resistant to a degree far beyond the needed requirements, at least at the time.)

Low latencies and easy deployment make underwater servers convenient and effective. Put on your scuba gear, you need to reboot that server

I am awaiting for the outcry from conservationists and the climate chance crowds you know; due to the warming of the oceans from all the servers.
If it were so ( I am not picking any sides )- could some next-gen terrorist attack be just breaching the security of one of these underwater clouds and causing all the machines to go into endless loops? Causing hurricanes, typhoons, el-ninos, la-ninas and so on?

Probably - I did even see a study complaining about heating from wind farms recently.
It did make me curious though, so I just wasted a few minutes searching (so my numbers are probably way off - love it if a 'real engineer' takes a swing. Maybe even a physicist.)
Amazon is using a server farms waste heat[^]. 34 story building, "70% data centers" generates 11MW waste heat.
Drop that building in the North Sea (54,000 km^3) and it should warm it (using this formula inverted[^] means it should raise the temperature about 1.7*10^-10 per year.
I'm not worried.
