Charles Stross has a good theory of why “AI” is being pushed on corporations, really we need to just replace CEOs with LLMs [1].
This disturbing and amusing article describes how an Open AI investor appears to be having psychological problems releated to SCP based text generated by ChatGPT [2]. Definitely going to be a […]
The Aim
I have just got a Furilabs FLX1s [1] which is a phone running a modified version of Debian. I want to have a phone that runs all apps that I control and can observe and debug. Android is very good for what it does and there are security focused forks of Android which […]
I just read this informative article on ANSI terminal security [1]. The author has written a tool named vt-houdini for testing for these issues [2]. They used to host an instance on their server but appear to have stopped it. When you run that tool you can ssh to the system in question and without […]
About 6 months ago I got a Nissan LEAF ZE1 (2019 model) [1]. Generally it’s going well and I’m happy with most things about it.
One issue is that as there isn’t a lot of weight in the front with the batteries in the centre of the car the front wheels slip easily when accelerating. […]
One of the problems I encountered with the PinePhone Pro (PPP) when I tried using it as a daily driver [1] was the charge speed, both slow charging and a bad ratio of charge speed to discharge speed. I also tried using a One Plus 6 (OP6) which had a better charge speed and battery […]
As a follow up from my last post about my 8K TV [1] I tested out a Samsung 65″ QN900C Neo QLED 8K that’s on sale in JB Hifi. According to the JB employee I spoke to they are running out the last 8K TVs and have no plans to get more.
In my testing […]
Russ Allbery wrote an interesting review of Politics on the Edge, by Rory Stewart who sems like one of the few conservative politicians I could respect and possibly even like [1]. It has some good insights about the problems with our current political environment.
The NY Times has an amusing article about the attempt to […]
Aliexpress has a 4 port 2.5gbit switch with 2*SFP+ sockets for $34.35 delivered [1]. 4 ports isn’t very good for the more common use cases (if daisy chaining them then it’s only 2 available for devices) so this is really a device for use with 10Gbit uplink.
Aliexpress has a pair of SFP+ 10Gbit devices […]
I’ve had a Pine Time for just over 2 years [1]. About a year ago I had a band break and replaced it from a spare PineTime and now I just had another break. Having the band only last one year isn’t that great, but it’s fortunate that the break only affects the inner layer […]
I previously blogged about buying a refurbished Hisense 65u80g 8K TV with the aim of making it a large monitor [1] and about searching for a suitable video card for 8k [2]. After writing the second post I bought an Intel Arc B580 which also did a maximum of 4096*2160 resolution.
This post covers many […]
