A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware. Here's a few numbers to give you an idea of how large the problem is. 🧵 1/5

"Honey, have you updated the firmware of your sourdough starter yet?"

On one hand, I'm convinced that this "smart wirelessly connected battery-powered sourdough starter jar" is one of the four horsemen of the technological apocalypse, but on the other hand, I want my #OpenClaw to bake me bread.

Humanity's doomed, aren't we?

Every mainstream article I've read about Openclaw uses the same examples to describe what #OpenClaw can do. It's always: “answering emails, booking flights.” I’m not criticizing this, it just shows where the mainstream’s imagination ends when it comes to Agentic AI and how much educational work still needs to be done.

If you wanna save a couple of bucks, you could also go with #DDR2 of course. It‘s the #7 best seller.

The best-selling #RAM on Aliexpress per 19th January 2026:

2x8GB DDR3‼️ 1333Mhz. Welcome back to 2010. Steve Jobs had just announced the first iPad. The final episode of the TV show „LOST“ just aired, and Angry Birds is dominating the App Store charts.

Seit zu vielen Tagen schiebe ich es vor mir her einen Cloudflare-Tunnel für mein Homelab einzurichten. Dreimal dürft ihr raten wann ich damit begonnen habe.

Richtig! 2 Minuten vor der globalen #Cloudflare Outtage.

This is the internal power supply board of an Apple Studio Display. It's a component that you're never supposed to see, ever, yet it is designed like it should be. It's a piece of art that I would hang on my wall.

I have not yet cracked the code on how Apple's care for internal hardware design impacts how you perceive their products, yet it somehow does. It’s fascinating. Like a magic spell, giving it aura +1. You can sense it when using the product.
