So, my friend group right? We own like, 2 IPv4 blocks of /24 and 3 ipv6 ones of /48. It's pretty funny, we're funny people. We're now thinking of forming an LTE core network and trying to sign roaming agreements with carriers so we can all have our own sims (1/?)

Boosting this because it deserves wider exposure. The central point that a drop in subscriptions is a *lagging* indicator of business failure is really astute - the kind of thing that should have occurred to me but didn't. The additional point I want to make is that at the velocity of change today, that lag is much more dangerous than it used to be. By the time you can notice that your customers bailed out of using the project a while ago, it may well be too late to course-correct. This is, I think, what's going to happen to Adobe. They're like Wile E. Coyote running in mid-air right now - their customer base is furious with them and probably already trying out alternatives like DaVinci and even the new Photocraft. But the famous dark-pattern stickiness of their subscription flow is going to ask that market signal for a while. And of course the people running the company are probably going to be looking for any excuse to believe that everything is juuuuust fine. There will be a period in the near future during which they'll be telling analysts "Bah! Revenue is in great shape, these would-be competitors are not meeting consumer demand." That is, until revenue falls off a cliff. Savor the irony. The same dark pattern that made them so profitable is what will rob them of time to correct before an irreversible crash.

Amused that AWS just unilaterally cancelled Cloudflare's Reinvent booth. There are always signs when someone finally realizes they're losing. Guess we'll just attend and throw the most fun side events without paying Amazon! Reply if you want an invite.

United Airlines has just introduced an awesome new @Starlink Wi-Fi tracker that not only makes it easy to find out if your flight has Starlink, but also gives real-time Starlink installation progress for their fleet. United has now installed Starlink on 43% of its fleet, with 639 aircraft now equipped. It even breaks down what percent of flights from each hub have Starlink, as well as installation progress by aircraft type. Really cool! Tracker: starlinktracker.united.com/p…

BREAKING: A hacker accessed Denmark's national ID database with the password "123456," exposing details of 8.8 million people

This little FPGA device by @analogue has so many cores available via openFPGA, and there are no signs of development by the community coming to a slowdown. #AnaloguePocket truly is a great device, that packs a world of fun.

Today we're standing up XBOX LABS (labs.xbox.com). Here is the note that I sent to the team: Team, The first video games emerged some 75 years ago. In the time since, there have been booms and busts, but every year there are more great games to play, more devices to play them, and best of all, more people than ever playing. That growth helped make XBOX what it is today, and we've helped shape the industry in return, from bringing hard drives to consoles and online gaming through Xbox Live to Game Pass and cloud gaming, alongside franchises that have brought millions of people together. In recent weeks, we've seen games rapidly decompiled and rebuilt to run on hardware they were never originally designed to support. Windows PC builds have been translated to run on Apple Silicon or ported to run inside a browser through WebAssembly and WebGPU, the latter now approaching 90% global browser support. Perhaps more surprisingly, we've seen many of the biggest games in the world have been remixed into the source code of another. These experiments challenge long-held assumptions about our industry: the tether between software and hardware, the boundary between creation and play, and how people discover and experience games. While it is hard to predict the future of gaming, it is easy to see the possibilities in making great games easier to access, giving old games new life and allowing more players to become creators and co-creators. These are unmistakably good outcomes for players, even when (and sometimes because) they challenge our existing business models. To explore these possibilities, I’ve asked Scott to stand-up XBOX LABS, a small group of game makers, engineers and scientists whose job is to turn emerging ideas into things our players and developers can experience. We'll build in the open, learn from what people do, and measure success by whether more people are playing and creating. I think XBOX has an important role to play here. Coding became the first major workload for agents because they can write, run, and test software. Games share many of those same properties, and people spend more than 72 billion hours a year playing XBOX games, roughly five times the estimated time spent writing code worldwide. We've spent 25 years learning how to make great games, and I want our game makers to help shape what these new technologies make possible. As we learn, we’ll share the tools we build with developers across the industry, just as we always have. Our priorities aren't changing. We remain committed to the 4Cs, to making great games, to our hardware and to being responsible stewards of IP and the communities built around it. LABS gives us a way to explore new technology that is game design led without abandoning the work already underway. Asha

This is what one gets if they go to a Dropkick Murphys concert. People want to hear music not Trump hating political activism.
