Virgin Galactic has successfully completed a second supersonic test flight of the VSS Unity. This is the second test flight since a fatal accident back in 2014. The spaceship reached a speed of Mach 1.9 and an altitude of over 114,000 feet. All in all it was an uneventful flight and it will hopefully usher in an age where the average person can afford to take a suborbital flight. Nice job! Check out the video.
Once in commercial service, Virgin Galactic’s spaceships are designed to be turned around and flown at a higher frequency than has traditionally been the case for human spaceflight. The flight today brought that vision a little closer, coming less than two months after Unity’s first rocket powered flight. Great credit goes to the engineering and maintenance teams for working through the first flight’s data diligently and efficiently before preparing Unity again for flight.

With the second-gen AMD Ryzen processors rolling out, we could expect to see some price cuts in order to move old inventory. This is one hell of a deal of the day! The 1700X (we reviewed it here) is now for sale at Amazon for $185 after $30 MIR. That is only $23 a core, or $11.50 a thread. No matter how you slice it, that is the beginning of a great budget build for just about anyone! Most of these 1700X CPUs we used where able to be overclocked to 4GHz and will make for a hell of a base gaming rig that you can also stream from as well. Check out our Definitive AMD Ryzen 7 Real-World Gaming Guide for how these will support your gaming experience. Thanks @cageymaru.

The California senate has approved a strict data breach law that allows both customers and non-customers alike to sue third-party data brokers for damages caused by a breach. The bill will allow damages of $1K per breach or monetary damages – whichever is greater. This bill is a reaction to recent breaches such as the Equifax breach, but I think it goes too far by allowing those who aren’t a customer to sue. How can they claim damages? Regardless, something needs to be done to companies that fail to protect customer data.
Like all bills passed in a final-week voting frenzy, “SB-1121 Personal Information,” by Senator Bill Dodd, now goes to the state assembly, where it must pass or fail by August 31. If the bill succeeds, Democratic Governor Jerry Brown would then have 30 days to sign or veto it.

AMD is gearing up to release four new Ryzen 2000-series processors based on a listing in ASRock’s CPU compatibility chart. The new Ryzen 5 2600E and Ryzen 7 2700E products feature a reduced TDP and are aimed at SFF and fanless systems, whereas the Ryzen 3 2300X, as well as the Ryzen 5 2500X parts, are designed for enthusiasts as well as overclockers on a budget.
The energy efficient Ryzen 5 2600E and the Ryzen 7 2700E will be AMD’s first Ryzen CPUs featuring a 45 W default TDP. Previously AMD has offered various Ryzen chips with configurable 45 – 65 W TDP that required system builders to activate the former profile for low power PCs, which in some cases could mean unpredictable performance. By contrast, the new products guarantee 2.8 – 3.1 GHz frequencies at 45 W, if ASRock’s CPU compatibility chart for the AB350M Pro4 motherboard is to be believed.
Just like their 65 W brethren, the energy efficient Ryzen 5 2600E and the Ryzen 7 2700E feature six and eight cores respectively (based on L2 capacity listed by ASRock). According to the motherboard maker, the Ryzen 5 2600E runs at 3.1 GHz, whereas the Ryzen 7 2700E runs at 2.8 GHz default frequency. Meanwhile, the motherboard maker does not list boost clocks. In any case, an addition of two 45 W parts into the Ryzen 2000-series lineup is a big deal for PC makers and DIY enthusiasts who want to build a SFF or even a fanless system based on AMD’s latest CPUs.

Moving on to the new Ryzen 3 2300X and Ryzen 5 2500X processors. As expected, both feature four cores (with or without SMT) clocked at 3.5 – 3.6 GHz, an unlocked multiplier, a 65 W TDP, and Precision Boost 2 that automatically increases clock rate when a CPU is installed into an appropriate motherboard. Both chips are aimed at overclockers and enthusiasts on a budget, so expect them to be priced accordingly.

AMD has not announced the four aforementioned chips officially, so the company will not comment on them. It is unclear when and whether the energy efficient parts are set to hit the channel market, but in the past AMD sold its “E” products alongside with full-fledged ones. What remains to be seen is of course pricing of the new chips as well as cooling systems that AMD intends to bundle with the new parts.

Ian Barker, writing for BetaNews: A large majority of people say they are concerned about their online privacy, but this is not reflected in their actions according to a new study. The survey from Blue Fountain Media reveals that 90 percent of respondents are very concerned about their internet privacy and 48 percent wish ‘more was being done about it.’ Yet despite this 60 percent of those polled happily download apps without reading terms and conditions, and close to 20 percent still download apps even when they have read the terms and don’t like them. A third of those polled say they would delete an app that tracks their whereabouts, but 50 percent say whether they would do so depends how much they like the app. Interestingly less than 10 percent believe an app that tracks their location is actually useful to them.

Cooler Master has launched a new case in the MasterCase H500M. The latest addition sits on top of their H-series lineup and seemingly based off of the H500P with some notable design changes including more glass panels and addressable RGB lighting on the front 200mm fans. The case includes both a mesh and glass front panel so users are able to choose between maximum airflow and aesthetics with Cooler Master stating the front panel options compliment the industrial design of the H500M in their own method.
External styling is quite simple with mesh features on the front and top of the case for ventilation, with glass in the middle. Other external design features on the black chassis include an angled front IO panel which has four USB 3.0 ports and one USB 3.1 Type-C port. The included ARGB controller is also located on the IO panel along with the power/reset buttons and audio in & out jacks. On the back of the case, Cooler Master has added two vertical PCIe slots to set up the video card vertically and show it off through the glass panel. The glass panels are held on by relatively flat screws seemingly requiring a tool for access.
Internally, the chassis is able to support up to a Mini-ITX size board all the way up to E-ATX size. For storage, the H500M has six 2.5-inch SSD bays and two 2.5/3.5-inch drive bays for a total of eight bays – plenty for most users.
As far as cooling support there is room for a 190mm (tall) CPU heatsink and numerous locations for water cooling/radiators. Both the top and front panels support up to 360mm radiators with an additional location for 120/140mm on the back. There is even a dedicated water pump bracket on top of the PSU shroud. The case comes with the two 200mm ARGB fans controlled via the included controller as well as a single 140mm fan on the back.
There are plenty of internal covers and shrouds, nine in total, to route and hide wires which should make for a clean internal appearance. The PSU shroud has a cutout cover giving users the option to display the PSU or leave it hidden. Towards the front of the shroud, there is even a removable plate for when using thicker radiators.
GPU support is up to a long 412mm and includes a graphics card support arm that mounts to the chassis. This rarely included and occasionally needed item is designed to help reinforce larger/longer graphics card and prevent sagging.
The MasterCase H500M is available for pre-sale as of now in North America with a starting MSRP of $199.99.

Sprint Executive Chairman Marcelo Claure tweeted this morning that Sprint will build “one of the best networks in the world” even if it isn’t allowed to merge with rival T-Mobile USA.
“Merger or no merger, Sprint presses ahead with KC network buildout. Kansas City will have one of the best networks in the world,” Claure tweeted.

Claure linked to a Kansas City Business Journal article, which has the headline, “Merger or no merger, Sprint presses ahead with KC network buildout.” Claure’s tweet used the same phrasing as the Business Journal story while adding his opinion that “Kansas City will have one of the best networks in the world.”

Hot on the shattered heels of yesterday’s cheese wheel chasing race comes this video of some extreme Barbie Jeep downhill racing (previously: a crash compilation from 2017). Apparently this year a rainstorm “made the hill that much more brutal.” It looks it too. Also, the guy seen above has a belly that is something fantastic. That screencap doesn’t even do it justice — it’s like something out of a storybook. Five out of five, would do anything to slap like a bongo for good luck.
Keep going for the video.

As long as the video gaming has been around there has always been titles that have had some sort of violence in them. As technology continues to progress we see a more realistic depiction of violence in video games, such titles as Mortal Kombat X show incredible images of the human body and how they react when they are being dismembered. There seems to be a deliberate artistry having created something beautiful, realistic, and pleasing. During the Renaissance there was a demand for more…

Ars is closing in on 20 years old (or 2.0×10-1 centuries). For about 15 of those years, we’ve had dedicated science coverage. That started out as a weekly column, shifted to a dedicated section, and grew into the news-focused coverage that you see today. Perhaps the biggest changes have occurred over the last few years, as we expanded the staff and opened the horizons of our coverage to things like energy, medicine, archaeology, and space.
With those changes in the rear-view mirror, we thought this would be a great time to take stock of our readers’ feelings about how Ars covers science. To do so, we’ve put together a short poll. There are only a dozen questions you have to answer to get it done, so it won’t soak up much of your time if you don’t have it to spare. But we’re also giving you the chance to provide free-form thoughts on how we’re doing now and what you’d like to see from us in the future.
While the questions are intended to help us do a better job of serving our audience, you’ll note that a lot of them aren’t specific to our coverage. We’re hoping to get a better sense of how people view the place of science in our society and discover which ways they view it as important in their daily lives. Knowing this sort of information won’t help us write any particular article, but it will help us better understand what kinds of articles we should be writing.
