@nixCraft i think most people don't read Wikipedia even before GPTs. The site is mostly visited by people who care more about true facts than quick facts. And Wikipedia is the place for true facts. Without it, the Internet will be dead.

A friend needed a new laptop and was about to buy some consumer-grade garbage for ~500-600€. Fortunately he asked me before committing to it, and we found a second-hand AMD-based Thinkpad T14 for 300€. It's stupidly powerful for what he does, has much better connectivity and a much sturdier case. It was in really good condition too.

Long story short, stay away from consumer laptops. There's second-hand business machines that are both better and cheaper.

Living computers powered by mushrooms

Scientists have found that mushrooms can act as organic memory devices, mimicking neural activity while consuming minimal power. The Ohio State team grew and trained shiitake fungi to perform like computer chips, capable of switching between electrical states thousands of times per second. These fungal circuits are biodegradable and low-cost, opening the door to sustainable, brain-like computing.

Is learning a low level programming language still worth it in 2025? Or is it only useful for maintaining older codebases? 👇

This is how #Linux got started, and this was the first email posted. 🥰 It is a good reminder that some of the greatest kernels started with humble beginnings. Thank you Linus!
