Exactly this. At a recent hackathon, I spent the bulk of my time actually engineering, building custom model architecture in Lua, wrangling a dataset, and waiting on training loops. The winning project? A slick UI wrapped around a basic LLM

I’m working on a real-time tracker for the Canadian Parliament. While the official data is technically public, it's practically inaccessible (buried in XML feeds and legacy sites). Phase 1 was building a modern ingestion engine and fre

I've been using Linux forever (back to the mailed Ubuntu CDs days). I installed this begrudgingly after fighting edge cases with Waydroid on Arch. It's the first "batteries included" distro I've actually liked. I us

The iGPU in Panther Lake has me pretty excited about intel for the first time in a long time. Lunar Lake proved they’re still relevant; Panther Lake will show whether they can actually compete.

oh no, this again.. I remember checking out HoloISO when I was looking for SteamOS at launch… did a quick lookup on the creator and yeah, turns out he's a racist furry (literally)..

Yeah, I’ve been noticing an alarming number of casks marked to be depreciated… at the same time gatekeeper has gotten so restrictive it won’t let me (easily) open a video files that I downloaded from the internet

That said, when are we going to get a public release for SteamOS? …There’s a joke somewhere about them reaching SteamOS 3

Interesting they went with the 8 Gen 3 instead of something like the X Elite. From what I’ve seen, the 8 Gen 3 actually outperforms the Elite in emulation and running PC games. I wonder if that factored into the decision.

Couldn’t agree more, if you’re pitching Linux to a non-technical user, you need a gentler off-ramp, not a cliff dive. LibreOffice is a UI time capsule..more archaeology than productivity. Most millennials would think they’d accidentally ope

Thanks for sharing Aerospace, can’t believe I overlooked it! It’s like finding out someone fixed half the things that make macOS feel like a beautiful prison .Somehow it makes the whole OS feel less… Apple-managed.

I thought the same thing when I saw the M5 in the news today. It’s not that I hate macOS 26, hate implies passion.. what I feel is closer to disappointment. The problem is their philosophy. Somewhere along the way, Apple decided users shoul

8GB of VRAM just doesn’t cut it for new AAA games, and the 5000 series had a bunch of driver issues, which kind of kills its main advantage over the 9060 or B580

You clearly aren't Canadian, We are no fans of the elected liberal party but we have zero tolerance for the hate filled, anti-trans, anti-woke, anti-indigenous, anti-Palestinian bullshit spewed by the conservative leader. I could go on

It's so interesting how few Americans are bothered by his talk of annexing allies like Canada or Greenland. Do people here think that the tariffs on Canada are about fentanyl? or Greenland is essential for "national security"

National Sovereignty? I know a lot of Canadians who were lifelong liberals who were planning on voting conservative this election... until trump opened his mouth. I wanted change—but the choice was between someone who ignores the cost of li

Elections Canada is simply amazing! Funny story from last night: the Conservative leader’s own riding had the longest ballot in Canadian history — 90 candidates! Even though it was one of the earlier ridings to close, the results weren’t co

Any word on putting that in a mobile device? So far there’s only a hp business laptop and a gaming tablet… none of which appeal to the “MacBook crowd”

They've got a pretty amazing apu that just came out and competes with the M series macbooks based on early benchmarks. The name of this APU: AMD Ryzen AI MAX 300 "Strix Halo"

Coincidentally, construction isn’t set to start until late November 2028—convenient timing. If this mess blows over, they can quietly backpedal and carry on like nothing happened.

Don't think that's the case anymore, "Game Porting Toolkit 2" seemingly opened the floodgates on gaming on a mac.. It's up to the developers if they think it's worth the time/ effort; but with how great ap

The fact that they did this before bothering to recompile it for 64-bit Mac says a lot—Valve clearly doesn’t see Apple as a friendly place to do business. Makes sense, with Apple trying to lock game devs into the App Store.

I can’t believe I didn’t make the connection—both of those games are in my top 10. A big part of why I love them is how deeply immersive their worlds are. Dunwall and City 17 don’t just look great; they feel alive, with atmosphere, detail,

As a Canadian in Ontario, it’s unsettling to see half a million jobs on the line over tariffs that seem to have no rational justification. The worst part? There’s no sign of sanity returning anytime soon. I’d like to believe this is just a
