AMD's EPIC processors getting even more epic (sorry, can't help myself.)
128 threads in a single CPU, yes, please.

Not the first to do that.
Nothing in the headline claims they were first.
People were just awfully excited as if this hadn’t been available for years.

It's the price point it'll be available for that's exciting. 128 threads was child's play even back in the 90's, I had my hands on a 2000 thread system back then. I have a little inkling you did as well @scottalanmiller.

Isnt this the first with that many threads that natively supports x86 and amd64?
.
Though they are going to use 225W to do this. I wouldnt even need my heater in the winter if i was running BOINC projects. -

That's a first, yes. But for server workloads, that's not very interesting.

Clearly not a good choice to put next to your ear. If we are to learn anything from Vincent Van Gogh

https://www.itnews.com.au/news/lenovo-to-buy-stake-in-fujitsu-pc-unit-for-up-to-348m-476738
Lenovo has reached an agreement to buy a 51 percent stake in Fujitsu's personal computer unit for up to US$269 million (A$348 million), after posting a lower quarterly profit thanks to continued difficulty in the global PC market.Moar sauce: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/02/lenovo_buys_majority_stake_in_fujitsu_sickly_pc_biz/
Japanese tech pusher Fujitsu has finally - as expected - found a solution for its ailing PC business: it will sell a majority stake to Lenovo for up to JPY28bn (£187m) that will be used to form a joint venture.
The pair, along with the Development Bank of Japan, will "focus on the research, development, design, manufacturing and sales of client computing devices for the global PC market," the firms said.
Under the terms of the deal, Fujitsu will offload a 51 per cent stake in its PC unit to Lenovo and some 5 per cent will go to DBJ: the new organisation will be imaginatively entitled Fujitsu Client Computing Ltd (FCCL). -

https://www.itnews.com.au/news/cockatoos-gnaw-spare-nbn-cables-on-towers-476803
NBN Co is working to encase the ends of cables exposed on its fixed wireless sites after cockatoos stripped the steel braided sheathing, causing over $80,000 in damage.
The network builder is hoping a $14 plastic canister will encase the power and fibre cable ends and prevent cockatoos from stripping the cables to the point they are rendered unusable.
Cockatoos are a long-term problem for telcos; they infamously “munched” through a temporary overland fibre cable of Telstra’s in 2011, causing a sizable outage.
...
“They were damaged to the point of not being repairable, which has forced us to rip out the whole lot and completely re-run new fibre and power cables. That costs us about $10,000 every time we have to do that.”
Bresland said cockatoos used the cables to sharpen their beaks. -
That's hilarious.
