In what is highly suspected as actions of Iran, hackers have targeted water and wastewater utilities in at least 12 states. This includes Oregon. The New York Times article is very good. It tells the story all too common with many municipalities. Ever-increasingly expensive infrastructure projects that are not well equipped to deal with the problems of cyber-attacks that can come from outside your…
Most keypad additions are largely gimmicks but the Codex Micro AI keyboard has some interesting features (though I m not sure it s worth the $199 price tag). The lighting portion is probably the most interesting. As you link AI agents to individual keys, each agent key has a multicolor LED that indicates the status as it works on your tasks. Blue is for thinking, green is for a completed task,…
I have a special place in my heart for physical media technology. While Sony is moving to completely digital distribution and getting rid of all physical media how are we supposed to avoid the upcoming Digital Dark Age we appear to be creating? How will our knowledge actually survive if civilization fails? Perhaps with technology like this. SPhotonix claims to have developed glass storage memory…
Software development is converging in a way never before seen and Jaymin West gives us some of his observations from the bleeding edge. AI quickly changed how software that used to take a whole team of software developers into something that could be autonomously generated with a single person using agents. This however, is just the first part. What s likely next is what some are calling software…
There s a lot of pretty heavy AI rhetoric these days. Some of the strongest anti-AI stances are coming from content creators/artists and from game developers. The software developer community is more muted. It is also seeing that AI is completely disrupting their industry and likely to kill thousands of developer jobs forever, but they aren t quite as vocally anti-AI. Why? Maybe its because most…
Sadly, UK s To The Moon Expo in Birmingham seems to have been the gaming version of the infamous Willy Wonka experience.
Oregon s unemployment rate is now the 3rd highest in the nation. It s no surprise that Oregon s unemployment rate has been climbing. It s the 9th least affordable state in the nation by income.
Ori had this interesting idea for an umbrella that folds up like the Miura fold in origami to fit inside a tiny wand. As someone that tried this style of folding pattern (Miura fold), I personally wondered what material they could be using to consistently get a conical version of this to work. The folding pattern is pretty amazing, but is a little fiddly and prone to crumpling if you don t apply…
Windows Sandbox is a great way to make a very quick Windows sandbox separated from the rest of your system if you want to run programs you might not fully trust but not set up a full VM or Docker container. Using a GPU with the sandbox is easy, but requires you create a text file and put the following code in it. When done, save the text file as a *.wsb file and then click it so that config...…
Want to physically weave your memory into hardware one bit at a time like they did in the 60 s? Core64c sells core memory kits you can build and play with using small Pi devices. They re super cool, but not super cheap at about $100+ each.
