I was having trouble keeping track of everything that's been delayed, discontinued, or made more expensive because AI data centers are hogging all the RAM. So I made a running list: https://www.fastcompany.com/91495430/heres-every-cool-tech-thing-the-ai-ram-crunch-is-ruining

The Internet Archive is an invaluable resource for referencing old web pages, listening to live concerts, playing old DOS games, and discovering all kinds of forgotten media. It's hummed along for three decades, but now AI is threatening its mission. https://www.fastcompany.com/91539598/internet-archive-at-30-ai-scraping

Guess I'm buying some Korean smooth jazz/funk today #bandcampfriday https://neoncityrecords.bandcamp.com/album/super-brass-2

I feel you should all know about this blog that has spent the last decade attempting to document every type of sandwich in existence - https://www.sandwichtribunal.com/

Dutifully updating this list that gets longer and sadder by the week - https://www.fastcompany.com/91495430/heres-every-cool-tech-thing-the-ai-ram-crunch-is-ruining

Making an effort to log some thoughts about the random video games I end up playing, starting with ... 2017's The Surge! https://jarednewman.com/blog/2026/03/28/the-surge-an-old-school-souls-like/

Meant to share this earlier! Our smart fridges, Echo devices, and car dashboards are just glorified advertising surfaces now. https://www.fastcompany.com/91432377/samsung-amazon-microsoft-ambient-screen

I don't know about you, but I get all my TV reviews from THE VARGE

Who had "Evernote buys AOL" on their bingo cards? https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/30/yahoo_sells_aol_to_bending/

Having flashbacks to Beeper, where we get a brief glimpse of glorious interoperability and then Apple kills it

I mean, remote control is indeed how you train robots to do stuff on their own. But the training is the hard part! If you release the product before you've done the training, there's no product!

I probably do not need another video game right now, but should I buy Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound (on sale for $20) anyway?
