AI companies have accounted for 80 per cent of the gains in US stocks so far in 2025.

 

YotLD coming soon?

 

Over the last twenty years, smartphones gradually replaced many earlier digital tools such as PDAs, cameras and music players. Today these objects are regarded as obsolete: they may hold some esthetic or nostalgic appeal but they do not fit in a modern, zerofriction, cloud-first workflow. Yet these devices still have desirable qualities that smartphones lack: a singular focus on a specific use case; hardware buttons and physical connectors; multi-day battery life.

Even their lack of connectivity can be seen as an asset from a resilience, privacy and security standpoint. Actually using decades-old tech today is challenging, in spite of its apparent simplicity. The friction of physical media-based workflows now feels unacceptable. But much like classic cars can be fitted with an EV motor, it is possible to retrofit older devices in order to make them usable again in a connected world.

These seemed appealing to me at one time, but don't seem as interesting to me over time, it's like they try to purposely make the devices less useful

I still yearn for an affordable pocket laptop clone of the Sony VAIO P series

I suppose I could ask, does anyone know how I could DIY a wired keyboard in the chiclet (compact) laptop style? All the DIY keyboards seem to be mechanical keyboards which are giant keys (and less pocket-able). I suppose this is essentially what I want, is the right size keyboard that could attach to like a phone that could go in my pocket, and I never seem to find them

Best "Easter Eggs" In Games? (hilariouschaos.com)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by airrow@hilariouschaos.com to c/games@hilariouschaos.com
 

Easter's coming... so I was wondering what some of the best "Easter eggs" are in games (or other things in life)... even though I don't think these are related much to Easter at all (where'd the name come from?)

Got any interesting ones to mention or discuss, or tips on crafting some?

This kind of surprises me, go to: https://hilariouschaos.com/c/technologys

instead of

https://hilariouschaos.com/c/technology

My thought is the page should say, "OOPS THAT CAN'T BE FOUND, DID YOU MEAN c/technology instead of c/technologys"

I'm amazed Wikipedia does the same thing, compare:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology

with

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technologys

Doesn't seem like a lot of code to add, would it really be more resource-intensive to suggest a few correct communities (or on wiki, correct sites?)
