Refillable inkjets are starting to become a thing. Cool thing about those is that they’re often smaller than a color laser.

Given that I don’t print very often these days. I like having a small printer that I can chuck in a drawer or a closet during the 360 days of the year that I don’t need it.

I want this bad boy: https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer

That’s exactly what an LLM trained on Reddit would say.

Well, this is one way to kill tiktok

Trump is turning the US into a giant a casino, and he’s the pit boss.

There is a lot of top down shit, but there is definitely bunch non c-suite enterprise customers out there. A lot of product managers are curious about this shit.

Did Great Britain move in with Mexico after it broke up with Europe?

The point of a prototype is collaboration. It’s to get feedback from colleagues and end users.

Previously we’d whiteboard that out, spend a few days writing some code or stitching together a figma prototype to achieve a similar results.

I feel ya on the energy use, but don’t see how this is going to get me sued or isn’t allowing me to collaborate. The prototype code is going to get burned anyway, and now I my coworkers and I can pressure test ideas instantly with higher fidelity than before.

Once again, it all depends on the use case. The other day I used an LLM quickly mockup a carousel UI so I could see if it was worth writing real code for. It helped me explore a couple bad ideas before I committed to something worth coding.

I’m not actually checking that code in. I’m using the LLM like a whiteboard on steroids.

All I’m saying is that is you ask people about AI with no use case, you’re going to get different answers than if you ask people about AI when it’s contextualized to a specific problem space.

If I ask a bunch of people about “what do you think about automobiles,” I’m going to get a very different answer than if I ask “what do you think about automobiles that are used as ambulances” or “what do you think about automobiles instead of mass transit.”

Context will give you a very different response.

Yeah, it’s basically like early days of cable, Uber, Instacart, streaming, etc. They have a lot of capital and are running at a loss to capture the market. Once companies have secured a customer base, they start jacking up the prices.

people don’t really like ai

Once you start asking about AI in regard to specific use cases, I think you’ll find that quickly changes.

My company and I have been running a lot of studies around how and where people find value in these tools, and a LOT of people find LLMs useful for copy writing, doing quick research, data visualization, synthesis, fast prototyping, etc.

There’s a lot of crap that AI is bad at in 2025. Especially the poor in-app integrations that everyone is trying to standup. But there are a lot of use cases where it does provide a lot of value for people.

Their grants were cut by a Trump EO, and they’re suing to have them reinstated. They’re very much still around.

Or the reason why the US has had Radio Free Europe for decades.

Although, you could also argue that those taxes pay for informing and influencing citizens of foreign nations.

America’s media ecosystem is dominated by Fox, Sinclair, and other state party media players. There is a strategic benefit to having a media outlet that doesn’t run through the state media filter.

Carney is the PM. He is not a Premier.

lol. That stupid Orb thing is still around?

This. I know a lot of folks in the fediverse like Matrix, but the user experience feels like yet another platform that started with the platform architecture, and not the end user’s experience.

Then it gets adopted by a bunch of people who enjoy installing Hannah Montana Linux distros for fun, and no one else.

Probably for the best that you can’t exchange it for another Anker battery. They’ve been recalling a bunch of their products lately.

Good point. Maybe these are a “home or office use only” device.

I would looove to have something like this for work or home.
