Weekly output: Musk digitally deleting USAID, Arm vs. Qualcomm, U.K. vs. Apple, 8K TV, Bletchley Park

One of this week’s published stories began with reporting weeks ago; another began with notes and photos taken months ago.

2/3/2025: Musk’s Minions Deleting Digital Presence of US International Development Agency, PCMag

I could not just write about the weird digital erasure Elon Musk and his goons have been inflicting on the online presence of the U.S. Agency for International Development without reminding readers of three important bits of context: USAID does good and useful work (as vouched for in that quote from Georgetown University government-department chair Anthony Arend, four of whose classes I took as an undergrad 35-plus years ago); USAID constituted all of .4% of the federal budget in fiscal year 2024; Elon Musk’s tweets show no sign of him having any interest in the agency until January.

2/6/2025: Arm Drops Effort to Cancel Qualcomm’s Chip-Licensing Deal, PCMag

If you were considering buying a Windows laptop with one of Qualcomm’s power-efficient Snapdragon X processors, this should rank as very good news.

2/7/2025: Report: UK Orders Apple to Disable E2E Encryption on iCloud Backups Worldwide, PCMag

Writing up the Washington Post’s scoop about this dangerous demand by the U.K.’s Home Office gave me a crash course in looking up and citing legislation on Parliament’s Web site–without which I would have been writing about the Investigatory Powers Act without pointing people to the text of that 2016 statute and its 2024 amendments.

2/8/2025: In 2025, the Picture for 8K TVs (Still) Isn’t Looking Too Bright or Sharp, PCMag

I originally had delusions of writing this piece from CES with a Las Vegas dateline, but the weeks since then allowed me to get some additional numbers from the Consumer Technology Association and quiz another analyst as well as the head of the 8K Association.

2/9/2025: To See Codebreaking At Its Most Metal, Visit Bletchley Park, PCMag

Some of you may remember my writing a piece about Bletchley Park for the long-gone information-security publication The Parallax in 2018. I decided to revisit this museum of WWII codebreaking when my trip to London in October for Uber’s Go-Get Zero event (on Uber’s dime) left me with an afternoon free, and I’m glad I did because I was able to check out one exhibit that I’d had to skip earlier and see a few exhibits they’d added since then.

Weekly output: Snapdragon Windows software compatibility, Qualcomm’s connected-car ambitions, Snap Spectacles ’24, Mark Vena podcast, Bluesky business plans, Qualcomm 8-core Snapdragon X Plus benchmarking, election security

Before I get to my usual list of what got published under my name this week, I need to vent about what did not get published by the Washington Post this week: the endorsement of Kamala Harris that, by multiple accounts, was quashed by imported-from-London publisher Will Lewis at the direction of owner Jeff Bezos. The insultingly vapid explanation by Lewis can only be read as Bezos attempting to grovel for a lesser spot for his businesses on Donald Trump’s enemies list.

This is a craven betrayal of the legacy of Katharine Graham, who defied the threats of Richard Nixon and his lackeys while the Post published the Pentagon Papers and documented Nixon’s Watergate crimes.

Jeff Bezos, you are no Kay Graham.

10/22/2024: Qualcomm Moves to Ease Windows on Snapdragon Compatibility Concerns, PCMag

My first post from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit covered a series of moves to address one lingering concern of that company’s rollout of fast and battery-friendly laptop processors: compatibility with existing Windows apps and peripherals. Reminder: Qualcomm covered my airfare and lodging on this trip.

10/24/2024: Qualcomm Revs Up Connected-Car Ambitions at Snapdragon Summit, PCMag

Then I filed a much longer post unpacking Qualcomm’s pitch to automakers to use its connected-car platforms. It was weird to see the only in-person endorsements from automakers in Qualcomm’s day-two keynote come from Chinese manufacturers.

10/25/2024: Snap Spectacles ’24 First Look: AR Glasses That Aren’t Vaporware, PCMag

I tried out these augmented-reality glasses Monday afternoon but didn’t have time to write about them until Thursday morning–the first-world problem of being at a conference with a packed schedule six time zones to the left of my editors.

10/25/2024: Ep 70 SmartTechCheck Moment — Ruminations on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit 2024 in Hawaii, Mark Vena

I joined my industry-analyst pal Mark Vena and other analysts Mike Feibus, Francis Sideco and Dave Altavilla to record a podcast from a lawn at the Wailea Beach Resort, Qualcomm’s venue for the summit.

10/25/2024: Bluesky Readies Subscription Option, Says It Won’t Be Like X Premium, PCMag

I hustled to write this short post from Maui’s airport before a flight to Los Angeles that I didn’t even realize would have no WiFi for most of the flight over the Pacific.

10/27/2024: Qualcomm’s 8-Core Snapdragon X Plus, Tested: A Competitive, Cheaper Chip, PCMag

The research for this post began with a benchmarking session Qualcomm hosted at IFA about seven weeks ago, after which my editor and I were respectively slammed with travel and other schedule conflicts–while, conveniently enough, laptops with these new processors had not yet shipped.

10/27/2024: Election security, Alaraby

I appeared via Zoom on this Arabic-language news channel to share some details from my experience as an Arlington County poll worker.

Updated 10/28/2024 to add a link to my TV hit.

I still can’t find a good excuse to recommend a #Qualcomm laptop.

The only mild excuse I have is for office tasks and web browsing.

For the same price you can get an #iPadAir 13 inch with a keyboard, mouse, bag or case and #AppleCare.

#SnapdragonX needs to really step up their game on its second generation price/perf. And you have #Zen5 on top of them too, and #LunarLake approaching.

Lilbits: A new PC with an old processor, ARM’s upscaling tech, Snapdragon X benchmarks, and another Rabbit R1 security issue

The Zilog Z80 microprocessor is an 8-bit chip that was first released in the 1970s and used in a variety of classic computers and game consoles including the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, TRS-80, and Sega Master System. While its features are very dated by 2024 standards, the chip was in production for five decades and was only discontinued earlier this […]
