I think you’re right that Canadians and Mexicans know this and still want to be friends, but it doesn’t matter. The United States has officially and democratically become hostile to them, and they’re going to have to change the way they think about the relationship. An America that can’t be trusted reliably simply can’t be trusted.

Edit: But this doesn’t mean further conflict is inevitable! The sane citizens of each country will just need to work around the problem.

I don’t think they feel betrayed by Trump, but rather the United States. One of their closest friends just declared economic war on them for no reason. The shattering of trust isn’t less painful because they had advanced notice.

I won’t be using these features, but I’m not sure there’s cause for concern. The implementation seems very sensible and legitimately privacy-centric. The LLM runs locally and is meant as an very basic email proofreader. The crypto wallet is a likely an extension of the password management tech they’ve already developed, with transaction features that some people care about.

I can see why some people want these features, and I’m glad there are new alternatives.

I expected to roll my eyes at this article but it’s actually quite compelling and well written. The Kagi website’s lack of nuanced privacy discussion already turned me off, and now I’m just going to pretend the service doesn’t exist.

What scanners do people recommend?

Woah. I assume Thunderbolt will still have latency benefits. For example, we’re not going to have wireless eGPUs, surely? I hope I’m wrong, because wireless PCIe lanes would be amazing.

It’s worth pointing out that they’re now a publicly traded company.

Just wait, soon we’ll all be editing documents using tiny scalpels.

They made a bunch of really cool changes to address the issues from last time, and they seem to have worked almost perfectly. For one, they built a giant water cooled steel plate under the launch mount (affectionately called the Booster Bidet), and the engineering behind it is pretty neat.

The 4 was impossible to find until, like, four months ago. I’ve been subscribed to six stock notification services for three years and only got my hands on a Pi 4 this year (and it’s not even the model I wanted!). The pandemic was nuts, but things seem to have stabilised.
