Calling all #SFBayArea Vintage #Mac and Apple II fans unite. If you missed #VCFWest or would like to nerd out with fellow Mac and Apple folks, I'm excited to share that #MactoberfestMeetup is back. My friend Steve held the first Mactoberfest back in 2023 and it was a hit. www.mactoberfestmeetup.org

#Scality gave us their take on what it means to be a #DataStorage player for #GenAI deployments. As a delegate for AI Infrastructure Field Day 5, I had the opportunity to get into details and get their perspective. www.linkedin.com/pulse/sea-da... ⬆️ You may need to login to LinkedIn ⬆️ (1/4)

Couldn't make it to #VCFwest this weekend, but I found the #VCF livestream from yesterday. I'm a local, 15 mins away. I should have gone! Maybe NeXT time I'll exhibit with my #NeXT Workstations. 🤓 Have a great Day 2 all the folks attending today! www.youtube.com/live/Zt5qnSK...

Good morning #BayArea folks, today is the day in #SanMateoCounty for the 22nd Annual Disaster Preparedness Day. It's become a household favorite! Particularly fun for the kids, and very informational. If you've got a question about staying safe, these are your people! www.smcgov.org/dem/2026-san...

Ignore the "robots" part of this, it's bullshit. What they're really intent on banning is cheap power inverters, the crucial component necessary to store and use solar energy from a battery. This is a giveaway to the oil industry, plain and simple.

The way #AI is moving so fast, we could probably have an AI Infrastructure Field Day monthly. Did you join us for #AIIFD5? Another #AIIFD is coming in November. That means, plenty of time to catch up if you missed the details we shared from our experiences. I'll be sharing out thoughts here, soon!

The only surprising thing about this development is that it took Meta this long--it's been obvious that clean energy is not a priority there since Zuckerberg started gassing on last year about all the giant data centers he's going to build without mentioning what would power them.

Meta has made significant investments in natural gas over the past year. Now it's dropping out of an industry renewable energy group.

I had "sign up for Cursor" on my todo list. For some reason, signing up for #Cursor is not working too well for me today. What could be going on? 🤔

no guys you don’t understand it’s very offensive to describe any of this as trashy

Meanwhile at the White Trash White House last night the main event wasn’t even in the ring. Fights were breaking out on the lawn everywhere under the light of fireworks. Not since the White House burned down in 1814 have we seen so many battles. Sign! 🤡

I've realized as of April, #Apple decided #iOS #Developers can only submit apps to the #AppStore when built against #SDK for #iOS26 (and #iPadOS #tvOS at "26" versions). While many may have upgraded, this is the first time I can recall where Apple drew a line in the sand on earlier #iOS targets.

Wonder why? Maybe it's time to look at whether iOS 26 has alienated longtime users. Or, just look the other way #Apple. #iOS26 #iOSUpdate

The iOS 26 update has the second-worst adoption rate of all iOS releases since 2015, falling behind both iOS 18 and iOS 8.
