Among those layoffs are those responsible for several Linux Drivers.

Specifically:

- Intel Ethernet RDMA driver
- Intel PTP DFL ToD driver
- Intel WWAN IOSM driver
- Intel Keem Bay DRM driver

additionally, Intel's CPU temperature monitoring driver was left unmaintained/orphaned during the previous round of layoffs last month

https://www.theverge.com/news/757538/reddit-internet-archive-wayback-machine-block-limit

Reddit says it has caught AI scrapping its data from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, and they don't like that, because they are charging companies like Google & OpenAI to do that already, so how dare someone get it for free. They even locked down their API to cripple 3rd party apps.

Therefore, the obvious solution is to block the Internet Archive. Obviously, of course.

Fucking Reddit.

Reddit will block the Internet Archive

Reddit caught AI companies scraping its data from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, so it’s going to limit the Internet Archive from indexing some data.

At Defcon, two presenters unveiled an open-source quantum sensor powered by a special diamond, usable for everything from medical tech to GPS alternatives. The first model costs $120–$160 to build, the new version is even cheaper, and a $50 model is planned for release this fall after community testing.
