The spiralling costs of using AI are becoming a real problem: Microsoft stops using Claude Code, Uber burned their entire 2026 AI budget back in April, Salesforce, Meta and even Amazon are limiting the "tokenmaxxing" culture.

Microsoft reports are exposing AI’s real cost problem: Using the tech is more expensive than paying human employees

Companies are racing to incentivize employees to use AI. But as some companies are finding, the more employees that use the technology, the heavier the bill.

Yet another reason to support a diverse browser ecosystem and not simply rely on Chromium.

Temporary workaround is to downgrade back to 2025-09, with a new workspace and I'll just have to move my projects over.

I would have assumed that it is shortly before June and the release of 2026-06 that I could update to 2026-03 and not have a problem. No idea what they did to break it on my system. I just know that I can't stay on this version forever.

This really sucks too, as I've been using Eclipse since I started working in Java. I'm so used to how it works.

So it looks as if I'll be looking for a new Java IDE for Linux.

The latest Eclipse 2026-03 absolutely refuses stay open on my Linux machine. I've tried a fresh new installation, a new workspace, updated Java to 25. Nothing it opens for a bit and suddenly closes. No error logs to be seen, absolutely reason that it just won't work. Also I can't even find a way to report the bug.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sooo close. I figured my wife would be too tired to realize I hadn't left the house today. I was wrong, now I'm getting my shoes on to take a walk.
since this project was originally requested by my wife, there's hope I can convince her to allow me to upgrade the computer to something stronger 😉

With some help from @rosenclosed (who did all the work) we now have an immich.app server running in our house net. It's pretty awesome. Since the old laptop I purchased to act as the host server isn't very strong, we bolstered the facial detection by spinning up a docker on my desktop during the bulk import. Now everything is running fairly smoothly on the laptop.

What do you call it when everything; sounds (any sound at this point), smells, people existing and moving around near you, just feels too much. Like you are overwhelmed for no good reason. I feel panicked, rushed, like every sound and movement around me is poking me with needles. This has been going on for 2 days. I don't know what's wrong.

On top of getting the charging port working optimal again, I was able to better investigate the original port and could see indeed I had a lot of dust and crud built up and mushed down into the port. So I was able to clean it out and now I have a spare in the event the port goes wonky for real.
