The fact that CEOs overestimate the size of this market is easy to understand, since "CEO" is the most laptop job of all laptop jobs. Having a chatbot summarize the boss's email is the 2025 equivalent of the 2000s gag about the boss whose secretary printed out the boss's email and put it in his in-tray so he could go over it with a red pen and then dictate his reply.

Excuse me, but I'm not going to buy an Mini PC with Zen5 for $600 when I can put $100 more and get an RTX Laptop.
With warranty.
And 3-day shipping.
And a built-in monitor, keyboard and battery.
I mean, what gives?

Linux 6.14 RC7 is out!
Linux 6.14 RC7 is now released according to this mailing list entry. This release candidate brings in some of the small bug fixes across many kernel components, as well as support for more gaming controllers, such as:
- Support for more gaming controllers, such as ZOTAC Gaming Zone and TECNO Pocket Go.
- Support for the Altera USB Blaster 3.
- More Bcachefs fixes.
- General improvements and bug fixes.
The announcement post has been made in the same commit as linked above:
Things continue to look quite calm, and I expect to release the final 6.14 next weekend unless something very surprising happens.
In the meantime, I’ve pushed out rc7, and while it all looks nice and small and safe (the biggest patches in here are some selftest updates, and a few smallish reverts – but there’s tiny noise all over the place), it would be good to get one final week of good testing in. So please give it a whirl.
We expect that the next release for the 6.14 series to be the final release which will be out on March 23rd.

A cryptocurrency doesn't actually need a network of computers, or even an electronic, electromechanical, or mechanical computer.
All you really need is something to do math. Traditional "computers", meaning humans, could do it with nothing but paper and pencil if necessary. It would be slow, but assuming you used hash/key sizes and algorithms sized to the "technology" you were using, it would be doable.
A room full of experienced abacus users might actually have a decent "hash rate" with properly chosen technical parameters ...
Guys I've been thinking about this recently
So the telegraph has existed for a while, and became widespread in 1800s. Charles Babbage worked on the first mechanical #computers in the 1820s
What would be the earliest point in time in which a #Bitcoin like #Blockchain could've been made?
As I understand it all the system needs is a #network of computers each running a program that checks for transactions
I'm wondering if a different hash function was used it could be a lot simpler to implement into hardware, but if mechanical computing wasn't powerful enough for that the earliest might've been after WWII with the code breaking machines that the Allies invented
Any boosts would be greatly appreciated!

„Doom auf dem C64 und ein atomarer Atari“
Nicht ohne Stolz: mein #Atari ST (ok, und ich) im Golem.de / Besser Wissen #Podcast ! In dem etwa 45 Minütigen Podcast geht es um „hochgezüchtete“ #Retro-#Computer, wie sie auch auf dem #RetroComputer Festival im Heinz #Nixdorf Museum bzw. Forum zu sehen waren. Von 13:06 – 23:02 geht es dabei um mein Atari #STE System. Es ist übrigens auch auf dem Podcast-Titelbild zu bewundern.

Viel Spaß beim Hören!
This is the Sharp PC-2000, or “Ratecaputer,” from 1979. Only 200 were ever made.
The name is a portmanteau:
Ra for radio
Te for television
Ca for cassette
Puter for computer

Ekrany (Screens), akryl na płótnie, 120 × 100 cm, 2022.
In this painting, I wanted to explore two themes. On one hand, I aimed to juxtapose three types of "framed images" - in the background, there's a window revealing an overexposed image, next to it, an actual painting on canvas in darkness, and in the foreground, two glowing screens. Through this composition, I wanted to highlight the distinct characteristics of these three image types (a meta-painting commentary).
The second theme I wanted to address is the presence of technology in everyday life. In my paintings, I have explored the visual representation of life with computers and in the virtual world. I concluded that the best way to illustrate this was by showing technology's impact on our surroundings and bodies. The painting depicts my brother's computer setup from a few years ago. I remember it with nostalgia. Back then, my brother used two refurbished monitors and a computer that he later gave me when he upgraded to a better one. On the desk, there’s a pair of headphones - the same model we kept buying for years out of habit until they stopped making them. All of those headphones met the same fate - ending up with a broken plug that we couldn't fix because, after replacing it, only one side would work. My brother cut off all those cables and kept them "for later." "Later" came a few years ago when I started exploring technology-related themes in my art. I began attending events with a few of my favorite (headphones) cables tied around my waist as a belt.

ich habe jetzt 2 bis 3 stunden damit verbracht, ein os-image auf eine sd-karte zu schreiben. das brache immer ab mit fehler wie "kann nicht schreiben", im dmesg gabs dann hinweise auf "size change" und "disk full" und natürlich "io error". es passiert ja öfter, dass sd-karten beschädigt sind, aber das war jetzt doch ein wenig viel. ich habe insgesamt mit viel stecken und ruckeln, unterschiedlichen block-sizes mindestens 8 mico-sd-karten ausprobiert, allerdings alle in irgendwelchen adaptern. keine hat funktioniert.
1 kaputt, na gut! aber 8? ich habe dann tatsächlich in einer schublade noch einen anderen card-reader gefunden. und siehe da, alles ging sofort. tja, 3 stunden arbeit und ärger wg eines halb defekten card-readers.
jetzt nach etwas beruhigung und 2 gläsern wein kommt mir die dunkle erinnerung, dass ich nicht aus versehen einen neuen card-reader seit 1 jahr in der schublade hatte, sondern ich schlicht vergessen hatte, den halb-defekten zu ersetzen ...

wenn einem auf der autobahn nur falschfahrer entgegenkommen, ist wohl irgendwas anderes nicht richtig ...
