PC is up and running again. The Fractal North was so great to build in. My only complaint is the thumb screws were a bit fiddly. Otherwise, I think this is my cleanest build yet.

Ben Ellman@heybellman.bsky.social · 3w agoProfessional News: This past Friday I learned that last week's episode of The Engadget Podcast was my final one as the show's producer. @devindra.bsky.social, @cherlynn.bsky.social and I restarted the show from scratch in October 2019 and I was able to see it to episode 316, that's a great run!

This is indeed a very thorough piece on the engineering and environmental ramifications of orbital data centers. Too many “journalists” take the word of CEOs like Musk uncritically, Igor certainly doesn’t.

Orbital AI data centers could work, but they might ruin Earth in the process

Great reporting by @hardwareunboxed.bsky.social on the RTX 5070 Ti. NVIDIA just responded to my request. "Demand for GeForce RTX GPUs is strong, and memory supply is constrained. We continue to ship all GeForce SKUs and are working closely with our suppliers to maximize memory availability."
I think the Disney-OpenAI deal makes a lot more sense if you examine from the point of view of OpenAI's precarious financial position.
Engadget@engadget.com · 8mo agoI reviewed the OnePlus 15, which feels very much like OnePlus phones of yesterday. Mostly great hardware with a camera that could be better.

If you don't mind a slightly underbaked camera, the OnePlus 15 is tremendous, offering among the best displays, performance and battery life you can find on a phone right now.
