Millions of customers will now pay more for Netflix—here’s how much
To make more original shows and movies, Netflix needs more money.
Netflix's most popular plan, which lets users stream HD content on two screens simultaneously, will now cost $13 per month. That's an 18-percent increase from its previous $11 monthly price. Netflix's premium plan, which includes HD and UHD streaming on up to four screens simultaneously, will now cost $16, up from $14 monthly. The most affordable Netflix option, the "basic" plan, increases by $1, from $8 per month to $9.

Intel reported to have a new 5GHz chip that’s literally priceless
The chip has to be bought by OEMs in an auction.
The current i9-9980XE has 18 cores/36 threads and clock speeds between 3.0 and 4.5GHz, and it draws 165W. The new i9-9990XE has fewer cores—14 cores/28 thread, same as a 9940X—but it boasts clock speeds between 4.0 and 5.0GHz, with a monstrous power draw of 255W. It will use the existing LGA2066 socket and X299 chipset. This configuration is still a long way off the one that Intel teased in the middle of last year, when the company demonstrated an overclocked machine with 28 cores running 5GHz across all cores.

Zero warranty from Intel? that just seems like a crazy gamble!

Next Windows 10 version will let you search without Cortana’s involvement
Cortana is seeing a productivity focus; search is being unified with Office 365.
Currently, Windows 10 has a single text box on the taskbar that's used for searches and Cortana commands. Type a word or two and it'll search the Start menu, settings, and documents. But type a command ("tell me a joke," say) and no search is performed; instead, the command is delivered to Cortana, and she duly responds. In the new build, the text box is used solely for searching. To give Cortana a command, you'll have to speak to her or click a separate Cortana button on the taskbar.

@DustinB3403 This has to be a major goof up from MongoDB. I bet they redo their license so it is accepted by Red Hat. I can't believe they will keep things as is.

It doesn’t stop users from using MongoDB repo or will that change too?
-
@black3dynamite Not directly i don't think but if Red Hat will not use it then then effectively it is causing less people to use it.

95+% of our licenses are Business Premium, which is already more than the gsuite offering. But, as it says, you get more with Office 365. If that is of any value, you will have to decide.
