You can use the 3040 to build an AllStar node.

I can’t wait for the AI bubble to burst.

6 GHz will be much more useful for WiFi than for cell networks. There is already a massive amount of bandwidth allocated to cell networks, but only a few 80 MHz channels for WiFi.

The cell carriers just don’t want to make use of their mm wave bands because the equipment is more expensive. The mm wave bands are perfect for cell use in high density areas because the short range allows for very effective frequency reuse.

About the only thing I would consider using QLC for is games since write speed doesn’t matter and they can just be downloaded again if they get corrupted.

What kills the batteries is keeping them at 100% charge all the time, especially when the laptop is hot. Some laptops do have the ability to limit the maximum charge. Setting the maximum charge to 60-80% when the laptop is going to be plugged in for a while will extend the battery life. It is necessary to occasionally do a full charge to keep the capacity sensor calibrated though.

The AI companies don’t deserve one single cent of government funding. If they run out of money because their product is not profitable and probably never will be, then they deserve to go under.

The T480s only has one DIMM socket. The other memory channel has 8GB soldered to the motherboard.

It’s not hard to make a useful website that’s small. You just have to avoid using javascript libraries and keep images to a minimum. There are a number of static web page generators if you don’t want to write HTML yourself.

Keep in mind that a 50 kB page is about a 15 second load on a typical dial-up connection. Before high speed internet, almost everyone kept their web pages small.

Great, another cooling solution that wastes 100% of the water going through it. Data centers should be required to use closed loop cooling unless they are using waste water or sea water.

Mumble supports text chat and images too. Right click on a channel or user and select send message. There is an insert image button in the message window. I wish they would make it so you could just drag and drop an image though.

Yes, that’s why they don’t care about copyrighted content outside of Russia.

They tend to require installing a rootkit on your own computer. I wouldn’t buy them even if they did support Linux.

There are USB NFC readers. Someone could add support for that to Klipper.

Dumb TVs are still readily available. They are intended for commercial use and will suck for games or movies though.

That’s pretty much it for Android currently. There are a few more choices for PC.

There is a new browser in development called Ladybird, but a stable release is still years away and they are focusing on desktop support first.

Well, they have had a lot of vulnerabilities. Most people won’t even update the firmware let alone install OpenWRT on them.

You can open “Keyboard Shortcuts” in the menu and change them to whatever you want.

I would assume that it will work as long as Deno is installed somewhere that’s in $PATH. They still haven’t merged the pull request that will make yt-dlp use Deno yet. There should be more information once they release the new version. Yt-dlp 2025.10.22 included a fix that gets some formats working again though.

At least use a decent QR scanner that shows you the contents without automatically opening anything.

Oh nice, you will be stuck carrying around a dead battery in a few years if you want to use your portable drive.
