If Tylenol gives me autism, then choo-choo, here I come with my awesome train knowledge from my favorite painkiller! You'll have to pry both from my cold, dead hands Donny. #TylenolForLife #TrainsAreCool

Then Corsair is shipping their AI Workstation 300 which released at the same extact time as the Sixunited XB35 in nearly the same case and specs.

2× USB4, 2.5GbE + Wi-Fi 6E.
Ships full config (PSU, storage).
September 24, 2025 at 4:33 AM
Then you got the GMK EVO-X2

Tiny but punchy. 2× USB4, Wi-Fi 7 + 2.5GbE, dual M.2.
Great balance for devs who want AI + compact form factor.

Then Minisforun is shipping the MS-S1 Max which has stupid fast USB.

Rack/desktop hybrid. 4 USB4 (2× 80 Gbps + 2× 40 Gbps), dual 10GbE, internal PCIe x16 (x4 wired).
Ideal for people who want expansion + high I/O.

One of the most exciting is the Framework Desktop (Max+ 395)

Compact modular 4.5 L rig. 2× USB4 (40 Gbps), edge PCIe-x4, 5GbE, Wi-Fi 7.
Comes as full kit (PSU, SSD, etc.). Best bet for folks who want flexibility + strong Linux support.

Ok! Big decision time. The new weird AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 CPU is showing up in several mini & desktop rigs. 16C/32T, Radeon 8060S iGPU, 50 TOPS NPU — you can add 128gb of ram and it’s accessible to the GPU so perfect for local AI with big models.

It’s a serious shot at Mac Studio for local AI.

You bend the knee to the fascist Trump and cancel Jimmy Kimmel then I’m canceling you too Disney/ABC

Not broad. It's literal. State code for BRT here. 51A on this stretch 100% qualifies. It's got all door boarding thanks to clipper. A very defined stop. That dedicated BRT lane even has separate signalized lights. And the 51A has 12-minute service during peak times. It's wild.

This is pretty huge though. Alameda Landing was already upzoned to meet our last housing element but not the marina village shopping center or alameda college in Peralta could add student/teacher housing. This is within the circumference of another already planned project that could add floors.

Giving NIMBYs access to AI is a mistake.

I’m sorry but wtf. Logical fallacies on Emeryville billboard.

I’m at open sauce this weekend! If you spot me say hi!
July 20, 2025 at 3:22 PM
Ok I guess I’ve decided to spend the week off I have between resigning my old job and starting my new one with installing and tweaking Arch Linux on an old laptop. Someone these options seem redundant. I use arch btw

We had 3000 folks at the Alameda No Kings protest. Small town on an island in the Bay Area, California.

I turned on CBS and J Lo is apparently a Borg queen now?

If your favorite Chinese dim sum restaurant doesn’t have have a 12 foot big screen tv with pirated Chinese tv powered by an unactivated copy of Windows next to their seafood tanks I don’t want to go.

The eras tour ended so long ago but I’m still holding on to things from it
May 13, 2025 at 3:36 PM
My internet is faster than your internet. I can’t believe this is the speed I get on my MacBook at home in a suburban neighborhood in a house built in 1900. In 1997 I was happy to have 1mbps and I had the fastest internet in my entire school.
April 24, 2025 at 2:20 AM
I hate to have to ask but is the new pope a bet you can make on polymarket?

Edit: oh shit it is.
April 22, 2025 at 6:34 AM
Why is this massive duely lifted truck in our urbanized island city? You can’t even park that anywhere. It won’t fit. Also where is your license plate bro? I use that excuse of a bike lane right there everyday and you make it dangerous. We don’t need your type around here.
April 20, 2025 at 11:41 PM
Getting these speeds on home WiFi and Ethernet respectively is absolutely insane. Thanks Sonic

That's how they do it.
