The new Microlino is so cute! And, of course, it's forbidden fruit for us Muricans.

Just used Find My to locate my AirPods here at home which had fallen out of my pocket while I was running errands this afternoon and had fallen down between the seats of our car. Never woulda found them without serious time and effort otherwise. Kudos, Apple! 👏

On another social site, someone commented in a happy birthday post for Colin Baker asking what Colin Baker would think about the outfits that Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor wears.

While the question may be a wee bit coded, but I would take Ncuti's outfits over the dreck that Colin had to wear.

You know what? I really do hope that shareholders don't approve the hyper-inflated pay package. Tesla is too toxic with him and will need all that money to clean up after him.

Is KUOW, a Seattle-based public radio station, stanning Portland? 😂

All I can say is that the one night stay at a hotel near the Paramount Theatre was not cheap. I think I'll blame Microsoft Build 2024 for that 😑

Given the capacity and performance of this thing, I'm surprised they didn't call it the "Apex AI Rocket 5 Destroyer" given that there are things like "AI" thermal paste, "AI" RAM and MSI "AI" gaming consoles...

I've only added ones that have been published on their respective socials. If they do not provide their preferred pronouns, I won't be entering any details into the database.

Not great, AMD... not great. Given how 💩-tastic Windows 11 is becoming, especially with AI and Recall, this is going to piss off some folks.

What are the recommended ways to install Python on Windows, macOS, and Linux? Is it downloading from python.org for all of them? Or is it Microsoft Store, Homebrew, and apt-get?

qlp, 8 days ago to intel

While I am a proponent of alternatives to x86, I think Intel has finally gotten to a point where they can compete head-on with Ampere Altra and AmpereOne processors.

I'm holding final thoughts until proper testing and benchmarks can be done to see how it compares with AMD's Zen 4c (and soon 5c)-based EPYC processors and Ampere processors.

Current state of my Linux laptops:

ThinkPad T14 Gen 3: Fedora 40 (KDE spin)

I just did a fresh install in the past week-ish to migrate to KDE from GNOME, and wanted a fresh start.

ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 (AMD): Debian 12 with GNOME

Previously ran Pop!_OS with the development version of COSMIC DE. I wanted a Debian-based laptop to more closely reflect the Debian servers that I use to host my Wait Wait Stats stuff. I'm not going testing or unstable, since I don't run those on my servers.

Surface Pro 3: Fedora 40 (KDE spin)

I did a fresh install this week to clear out some of the lingering issues from an install of a pre-release version of the KDE spin of Fedora 40.

I initially wanted to see how FreeBSD would run on the Surface Pro 3, but I didn't want to tempt fate as I sometimes take the Surface with me on the go.

Looks like 45HomeLabs (a division of 45Drives) has two new systems that are now on pre-order.

A small form factor Intel N97-based computer: https://store.45homelab.com/presale/homeclient

A small form factor desktop: https://store.45homelab.com/presale/workstation

Interesting that the later is Intel based and I don't know if they'll sell the case alone like the 45HomeLab.

I'm not sure if the Home Client makes a lot of sense as a product for them, to be honest.

"Why are you building a temp sensor? Don't those already exist?"

Here's my APC Environmental Monitor 2 vs Axe. Same 60s polling rate, and the probes are 1-inch apart from each other on the front of the rack. See if you can spot the difference.
