podlet does a pretty good job of spitting out quadlet .container files or entire pods from a dockerfile.

Pocket high power laser to burn out the camera ? Just make sure not to hit their eyes (or don’t). /s

Second, it sucks that the wrist band thing is being tied with bullshit ai glasses. I would love to see that as a regular input device for PCs and smartphones.

Seconded, have long considered sub-critical neuron monitoring a really good in to ‘thought control’ without the privacy complications. No thanks neuorolink, stay out of my head (at least for many years until the implications and side effects shake out, fMRI also spooks me) but I’m fine with wrists and perhaps voicebox (ala firefox ), you know, voluntary stuff. What are the odds they’ve locked it up in patents and it’s now a tech dead end for the next decade or two…?

Rule of thumb.

Double the number, bump the units.

IMO nerds are mostly not resistant, so much as take pains to actively remove ads from their sight (adblockers, pihole etc, avoiding Meta type crap and so forth). Adtech has been awfully refined over the last century and if they’re doing it right you don’t even know that it’s effecting you, so best to avoid.

At that level (of age), choices come into play.

The usual paradigm for dev estimates is double the number, bump the units.

1 hour -> 2 days.

You should be fine on gOS for 6 yrs+, which is how long google promised to keep up with security updates. The device tree (think hardware drivers), which is what google removed with pixel 10 is what is causing grief, is already there for lower pixels. Unless, of course, google comes up with some new fuckery to invalidate the usability of the security updates (pray I don’t alter the deal further…)

Also, using demineralized water then baking @ 55C helps with avoiding corrosion, if you need it. If you can get away with just isopropyl alcohol, all the better.

Annual rentseeking incoming, 3.2.1…

It’s PCIe 4.0 :(

Boo! Silly me thinking DDR5 implied PCIe5, what a shame.

Feels like they’re testing the waters with Halo, hopefully a loud ‘waters great, dive in’ signal gets through and we get something a bit fitter for desktop use, maybe with more memory (and bandwidth) next gen. Still, gotta love the power usage, makes for one hell of a NAS / AI inference server (and inference isn’t that fussy about PCIe bandwidth, hell eGPU works fine as long as the model / expert fits in VRAM.

Pretty sure that’s a x4 PCIe slot (admittedly PCIe 5x4, but not many video cards speak PCIe5), would totally trade a usb4 for a x8, but these laptop chips are pretty constrained lanes wise.

Yup, soldered battery no biggie, critical security flaw, no internet for you…

Perhaps a poisoning the well attack on AI scrapers?
