I upgraded ours by buying the chips and plugging them into the already-present sockets - not sure why you had to solder yours?

Netflix sued by South Korean ISP after Squid Game fans swell traffic to '1.2Tbps'
Re: Netflix should not pay
SK Broadband want Netflix to contribute to that because the surge is caused by Netflix commercial traffic
Wrong. The surge was caused by SK Broadband customers. They could all have been watching different shows on Netflix, they could all have been watching different shows on a whole slew of other video providers, or all surfing the net hitting random websites.
The problem is SK Broadband don't have enough capacity for their customers. Netflix have exposed the problem, but they didn't cause it.

Crafty: Cricut caught out by user revolt, but will cloud stop play?
Two thoughts:
1. If the cloud software is too expensive to run, create installable software.
2. They presumably sell consumables (blades, media, etc). So there is no reason they shouldn't have a regular income to pay for the cloud service.
Regarding point 2, that makes them either greedy or incompetent.

Momentum builds behind campaign to fire Nominet CEO, board – though success still far from certain
Nominet used to be a shining star on how to be a well run, responsive, responsible registry that served all of it's members and was technically excellent.
That ceased to be years ago, and it has become apparent the current management have no interest but their big corporate customers and expanding their business reach into as many pies as possible while giving nothing back.

RIP FTP? File Transfer Protocol switched off by default in Chrome 80
Re: File Transfer Potocol
"One of the biggest drawbacks with FTPS is that encrypting the control channel prevents firewalls from eavesdropping on data port commands, which breaks dynamic ACL/NAT logic for those secondary connections."
The usage of data port is one of the biggest flaws in FTP, why you would want to encourage the use is beyond me. The concept was used back when there was a serious limit on the number of socket connections to a specific port, often limited by the size of the bit mask for the select call. This is no longer a restriction. When a web server can handle thousands of connections over a single destination port, why does a file transfer protocol need to change ports on the fly, just use the well-known port like a sensible protocol.
