Looks like #China is clamping down on open-weight #AI and #LLM models being exported. Will probably impact Qwen, Deepseek, Kiki, etc This will be a big relief for Google, Anthropic, OpenAI etc https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/world/asia/china-exports-ai-controls.html
TP-Link will do anything to sell more routers in the US except provide timely and constant updates to software. They are not unique in this respect. 🤷🏼♂️ Anyway, I think I need to buy a new compact travel router… which TP-Link (or other brand) do people recommend? Would be nice if I could just […]

Got back from Korea and I got a check for $1k from the Treasury. Weird I should get this right now… 🤔
This seems like an endorsement of #Deepseek to me... #llm #ai https://madrobot.blog/2026/10/19/us-bans-deepseek-federal-agencies-dhs-order-remove-third-party/
The US is ordering every civilian agency to rip out DeepSeek, even tools built on it
DHS has ordered all US federal civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek and third-party tools built on it, and to stop buying them. Here's what the order says.

Really love how my Credit Union in California blocks its website from Korea and Japan. 🫤 I’m guessing the block is everywhere outside the US. Pathetic that I need my own VPN to get into my account.
Amazing how well my M1 MacBook Pro is holding up. Only computer I loved more so far is my MacBook Air from 2011. Hard to believe it only had 4GB of RAM. How did I do it? :cwy: https://support.apple.com/en-us/112038

It's fashionable to work a White Collar job but dress as a Blue Collar worker? Or maybe we like to wear comfortable clothing? 😵💫 https://edition.cnn.com/2026/10/12/style/workwear-fashion-blue-collar-modernism-book
Why we love to dress for the job we don’t have | CNN
Today, most of us probably work from behind a desk. Yet our obsession with clothes from a different kind of working life just won’t quit.

I hate being able to see in fluently animated graphs and pictures who is profiting off of genocide, as it prevents me from being able to say that I didn't know what was going on later, but I also don't want to gatekeep this incredible site from you: https://bl00d.money/

Last night, I had a burger called a “Taco Burger” at a small Korean chain. It was pretty great. The meat patty seemed to be mixed in taco seasoning and small seasoned corn chips were sprinkled on the sour-cream-mayo spicy sauce. Cheese was cheddar. Their stupid website doesn’t have the specials […]

This curry chain in South Korea is so yummy. 🤤
Never mind all the #chess puzzles I fail from stupidity. That’s purely a lack of ability. But when I miss-tap or mouse slip I want to throw my phone or mouse across the room 🤣.
Completely ignoring the moral debate about this whole thing: If I were on death row, I’d advocate for death by #fentanyl. That’s some good 💩, and I’d be ok ODing on that. Just drip until I’m RIP vs whatever BS the state thinks up […]

If you’re wondering what ~$15/month internet speeds are in #Korea. This is a test from my #iPhoneAir over WiFi. I blame the WiFi router for the poor performance but maybe later I’ll get a chance to try from the wired AppleTV. https://www.speedtest.net/result/i/7255015456

I’ve read a number of mainstream reviews of people falling over themselves about how good #Muse is at being a personal assistant… so I thought I’d give it a spin. To be honest, it is actually pretty bad for the task I gave it: find a USB-A to USB micro Type B connector. I think Muse’s inability […]
