No, because I wouldn't trust it not to be messed with. I want it to run DD-WRT, but I'll flash it with DD-WRT myself.
My point was that HR "just being morons" adds fuel to the fire for people pushing anti-diversity narratives. It feels stupid, because it is stupid. It came from a good place (stop shutting women out of jobs) and…
We had a physical laborer position in the datacenter (lift and shift) get "flagged for diversity (female)" and sit open and unfilled for a year because we were unable to recruit a woman. THIS is the kind of thing that…
You can get some nifty fold-flat BS1363 doodads, though. I have a USB-C charger that collapses into something about the size of a stack of 6 credit cards. Something similar is currently available as the "Galvanox Flat…
> the US 110v thing is kinda limiting, and 220v is way better More efficient with copper certainly, but 110V is safer: cf. Ohm's Law. Lower voltage penetrates skin less readily, so you're more likely to escape unscathed…
Perhaps a phone supported by postmarketOS or Ubuntu Touch, for certain projects? For any suspend to RAM support at all: Amlogic, Rockchip, or i.MX SoCs have the best chance. Radxa Zero, for example. Lattepanda x86 also.…
Revolut, UBS, ABN AMRO
A fine one-off. Pi SoCs have no sleep/suspend mode, so you'll be pocketing it powered on or waiting for it to boot every time you go to use it. Furthermore, you have to destroy a PSP to build this, AND buy an overpriced…

People will pay good money for artisanal, hand-crafted clothing, or watches, or cars, or whatever, but I doubt that the market for artisanal mathematics is now or will ever be very large. It's just stubbornness, in the…
I have a Racknerd VPS that's $20/year, and it hosts a couple personal websites, an Outline instance, and is the Wireguard hub for all my NAT'd sites.
Political will and priorities. It seems like there's always money and enthusiasm for another war, but not to pay for uniformly decent schools with reasonable class sizes and happy, fairly-compensated teachers. Sounds…
We could also try something that has not yet been attempted: investing heavily in developing people who show signs of talent at an early age and streaming ALL children's education according to their capabilities and…
Brilliant Labs was selling one for quite a while, but it looks like it was discontinued in favor of their new, more standard device https://docs.brilliant.xyz/monocle/monocle/
To gain the same effect as one that is soldered down, while giving themselves a simpler portfolio of assemblies and a cheaper FRU to swap in the event of failure.
"Does Data have a soul? I don’t know that he has. I don’t know that I have. But I have got to give him the freedom to explore that question himself."
Man whose compensation package is strongly tied to the economic performance of his company says company's economic performance will be great in 2027 and 2028
FWIW, my C13 Yoga (Morphius) runs full-fat Linux significantly better than it ever ran ChromeOS
> ChromeOS is by default more lightweight than traditional Desktop OS Maybe? The shipping ChromeOS on the Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook (R7 3700C/16GB RAM/NVMe disk) is a dog. The system is nearly unusable. Can't…
I regret to inform you that Mr. Kling and his browser have been pre-canceled on Mastodon due to his politics (support for DHH, Charlie Kirk, anti-DEI stances, etc.)
Fascinating stuff; thank you for sharing. Can I follow your work somewhere??
I mean...there's some precedent. The XKL TOAD ("Ten On A Desk") implements the PDP-10 instruction set, and will happily run TOPS-10/TOPS-20. LCM had one doing just that.…

My wife's SE 2020 is on its third battery. It was fine until she accidentally upgraded to iOS 26, but now it's a mega lagfest. Apple's refusal to allow OS downgrades is infuriating, because it's still a perfectly…
"Learn to code" already failed to flood the market and drive down labor costs sufficiently, but AI will achieve that. Better: learn to prompt, learn to plan, learn to ideate, learn to configure your harness. Maybe learn…
