"Home-service technicians perform millions of highly technical tasks every day. We are creating a way for homeowners and service companies to benefit financially from the value of that expertise.

"We want to build the infrastructure that connects that knowledge with the companies building the next generation of intelligent machines while making sure the people creating the value participate in the economics."

While these technicians may be getting a bonus on top of what they usually charge, it's not like they're getting royalties or stock options for training their replacements. If you're a technician working or contracting for a service company that agrees to this, you might not even see any of that extra money.

It seems kind of silly with the current state of robotics, but in a way it's a kind of prisoner's dilemma: short-term gain of being paid to train the robots vs. long-term loss of being automated out of a job. Licensing is a barrier, but we let them drive cars in some cities.

There was also the dot-com boom, which of course wouldn't have happened without Al Gore inventing the Internet.

Although I've never been conscious of pump out as a problem, and have never reapplied thermal paste, I did use a KryoSheet on a 9800X3D in my most recent build. So far, so good.

My company has management software that nags me about the latest Firefox version, which is annoying, because I use the extended support release instead. Less frequent updates, and fewer sudden changes like the AI features people have been grumbling about.

Incidentally, 153.5.0esr was released today, with 140 reaching EoL.

You might be able to boot from the internal drive, install/upgrade the external drive, then boot from it.

You'll just have to be careful to match the enclosure to the ports on the system. The base-model M6 Mac mini still uses Thunderbolt 4, so a USB4v2 enclosure would be wasted.

Not every quiet PC is built in a dense box. Good airflow with big, slow fans is working for me to cool a 9800X3D and a 5070 Ti quietly under load.

The other part of it is that the MSRP already baked in a substantial increase from the previous generation. While RAM was near rock-bottom pricing when this hit, current-gen GPUs definitely were not.

However, once you introduce metadata (e.g., to deal with password rules), the idea loses most of its appeal. I wouldn't feel any more comfortable posting such a thing publicly than I would a vault.

I don't have specific complaints about the current version, but I'm going to give it a try. If nothing else, it's probably ARM native.

I also have a hard time seeing myself using a desktop music player without an iTunes-style column-mode browser.
