    Intel is pushing back its Innovation conference until next year.

    The announcement follows Intel’s rough Q2 2024 earnings and its decision to make massive job cuts.

    The company gave a statement about the delay to PCMag:

    Given our financial results and outlook for the second half of 2024, which is tougher than previously expected, we are having to make some tough decisions as we continue to align our cost structure and look to assess how we rebuild a sustainable engine of process technology leadership.

    That’s a lot of space junk.

    The breakup of a Chinese Long March 6A rocket resulted in “over 300 pieces of trackable debris in low-Earth orbit,” according to US Space Command. The agency has “observed no immediate threats” as a result of the breakup.

    Space.com has a good story about the situation.

    I already find Connections, which I look forward to every day, incredibly stressful. But now there’s the added pressure of keeping up a streak, thanks to the new statistics tracked by the game. I already fret enough about my Wordle streak!

    A pop-up describing Connections’ new stats.
