SSDs und Arbeitsspeicher sind weiter teuer, und wie die c't-Experten Christian Hirsch und Florian Müssig analysieren, wird das vorläufig so bleiben – und zwar nicht nur ein paar Wochen lang, sondern eher auf einige Jahre hinaus. Aber derart lange vorhandene PCs und Notebooks weiter zu nutzen und die Speicherkrise einfach auszusitzen, ist nicht für jeden praktikabel. Lässt sich ein Neukauf nicht weiter hinauszögern, sollten auch Gebrauchtgeräte in die Überlegungen einbezogen werden. In diesem Video-Podcast stellen wir Hardware-Empfehlungen zusammen und diskutieren Alternativen wie externe SSDs oder Aufrüsten. Auch warnen wir vor einigen Fallstricken, denn inzwischen ist auch der Gebrauchtmarkt ganz schön abgegrast. Die empfehlenswerten Gebrauchtgeräte sind Firmenrückläufer. Was nach drei Jahren abgeschrieben ist oder aus dem Leasing fällt, geht an Refurbisher, die sich um Details wie das Aufspielen gültiger Windows-Lizenzen kümmern. Aber weil auch die Firmen unter den gestiegenen Neupreisen leiden, nutzen viele die Geräte fünf Jahre und länger. Entsprechend ältere Geräte dominieren nun den Gebrauchtmarkt. In vieler Hinsicht ist das kein Risiko, weil wichtige Techniken wie schnelle Prozessoren, vollwertige USB-C-Ports und auch die Windows-11-Tauglichkeit seit vielen Jahren üblich sind. Aber Vorsicht ist dennoch geboten, da einige Händler nun auch die verstaubtesten Ladenhüter auf den Markt bringen. Und einige Details wie gute Mikrofone und Webcams kamen teils erst deutlich nach Corona in Mode und in die Firmengeräte. Christian und Florian geben weitere Tipps und erklären, warum auch die Gebrauchtpreise mit den Speicherpreisen steigen. Im Windows-Bereich sollte man Intel- oder AMD-Geräte kaufen. ARM/Qualcomm holt zwar auf, aber die guten Prozessoren sind im Gebrauchtmarkt noch nicht zu finden. Genau anders herum bei macOS: Für Intel geht die Unterstützung absehbar zurück, also sollte man gebrauchte Apple-Hardware nur mit M-Prozessoren kaufen – der M1 ist für vieles weiterhin schnell genug. Dem Aufrüsten – sowohl der eigenen Geräte als auch etwaigen nur zu schwachbrüstig gefundenen Gebrauchten – sind enge Grenzen gesetzt: Bei vielen Notebooks ist der Speicher fest aufgelötet, der Prozessor inzwischen immer. An die SSD-Module kommt man zwar bei manchen Modellen, aber fast alle Firmen-Notebooks vertragen nur ganz bestimmte Module. Die c't-Redakteure erklären, warum man dann nicht einmal herausfinden kann, welche Module das sind. Spannend in dieser Hinsicht sind die modularen und aufrüstfreudigen Notebooks vom Hersteller Framework. Diese durchaus erfolgreiche Firmenstrategie führt allerdings dazu, dass Framework im Gebrauchtmarkt kaum eine Rolle spielt. Die Zusammenhänge erläutert Florian. Besser sieht's bei Desktop-Rechnern aus. Passende RAM-Riegel und SSDs lassen sich einfacher finden, und mit etwas Vorplanung verträgt das Mainboard sogar noch ein paar neuere Prozessorgenerationen. Trotzdem empfehlen Christian und Florian, gebrauchte Notebooks und PCs komplett zu kaufen, vor allem aufgrund der Händlergewährleistung. Das ist auch der Hauptgrund, weswegen die c't-Redakteure vom Privatkauf abraten – oder man sollte sich zumindest der Risiken bewusst sein, auch in Bezug auf Verschmutzungen oder Windows-Lizenz. Zudem haben die Consumer-Baureihen inzwischen manchen technischen Fortschritt erst später bekommen als die Business-Baureihen. Ach, und wer Gaming-Grafik erwartet, der Podcast geht ausführlich drauf ein, aber die Kurzform ist: das gibt der Gebrauchtmarkt nicht her.

A inteligência artificial está avançando rapidamente, mas existe uma infraestrutura física por trás de cada resposta de um chatbot, recomendação de um aplicativo ou sistema que usa IA. E justamente essa infraestrutura enfrenta um período de forte pressão. Um estudo da ISG aponta que a escassez de componentes de alto desempenho, como GPUs, CPUs e SSDs, pode continuar até 2027 ou 2028. A demanda cresceu rapidamente com a popularização da inteligência artificial, enquanto ampliar a capacidade mundial de fabricação de chips pode levar anos. Esse cenário já está mudando a forma como as empresas acessam poder computacional. Grandes provedoras de nuvem conseguem garantir fornecimento por meio de contratos e compromissos de compra, enquanto outras empresas enfrentam filas, preços elevados e acabam recorrendo à nuvem pública em vez de montar uma infraestrutura própria. No Brasil, porém, existe uma combinação que pode abrir oportunidades. O país recebeu bilhões de dólares em investimentos em data centers e conta com ampla oferta de energia de fontes renováveis. Segundo Pedro L. Bicudo Maschio, autor do estudo ISG Provider Lens sobre o mercado brasileiro, um dos principais obstáculos hoje está no custo para importar o hardware necessário. No novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech, conversamos com Pedro L. Bicudo Maschio, pesquisador e autor do estudo ISG Provider Lens sobre o mercado brasileiro de nuvem híbrida e serviços de data center para entender por que existe uma disputa por chips, como isso está fortalecendo o mercado de nuvem e o que pode mudar com o Redata. Na avaliação do pesquisador, a redução dos custos de hardware pode ajudar o Brasil a se tornar um centro regional de infraestrutura de nuvem e inteligência artificial. A conversa também mostra por que esse assunto não interessa apenas às empresas de tecnologia. A infraestrutura de IA já está por trás de aplicativos, serviços digitais e sistemas usados diariamente e pode influenciar o custo e a disponibilidade de novas soluções.

La crise de la mémoire informatique est encore loin d'être terminée. Et contrairement aux scénarios les plus optimistes, 2027 pourrait même devenir l'année la plus difficile depuis le début de la pénurie. Selon les informations de DigiTimes, relayées par TweakTown, les tensions restent aujourd'hui à leur maximum. Une grande partie des capacités de production de DRAM, la mémoire vive classique de nos ordinateurs et smartphones, mais aussi de HBM, cette mémoire à très haut débit indispensable aux accélérateurs d'intelligence artificielle, serait déjà réservée pour l'année prochaine.Jusqu'ici, les prévisions divergeaient. Certaines évoquaient un retour à la normale dès la fin de 2027, d'autres repoussaient cette perspective jusqu'en 2030. Mais selon le média taïwanais, 2027 pourrait finalement constituer le point culminant de la pénurie, aussi bien pour la mémoire vive que pour le stockage.Les grands acheteurs ont manifestement anticipé la situation. Au premier semestre, des contrats auraient été négociés très discrètement avec les trois principaux fabricants mondiaux : Samsung, SK Hynix et Micron. Les plus petits acteurs passent des commandes ponctuelles, tandis que des groupes comme Apple, Microsoft ou Nvidia sécurisent leurs approvisionnements grâce à des accords courant sur trois à cinq ans. Les hyperscalers, ces géants exploitant d'immenses infrastructures de cloud et de centres de données, captent une grande partie des capacités disponibles. Et le déséquilibre reste considérable : les trois principaux fabricants ne seraient actuellement capables de satisfaire que 60 à 70 % de la demande initialement exprimée. Les besoins liés à l'intelligence artificielle continuent donc de dépasser largement l'offre. Le problème touche également la mémoire NAND Flash, utilisée notamment dans les SSD, les smartphones et de nombreux systèmes de stockage. Là encore, la quasi-totalité des capacités de production de 2027 pourrait déjà être réservée. Il existe toutefois une petite nuance positive. Après les augmentations spectaculaires enregistrées en 2026, DigiTimes estime que la progression des prix devrait ralentir l'année prochaine. Cela ne signifie pas pour autant une baisse : les tarifs devraient rester à des niveaux très élevés. En attendant l'arrivée de nouvelles usines d'ici à 2030, Samsung, SK Hynix et Micron conservent donc une position particulièrement favorable. Pour les consommateurs comme pour les industriels, la pénurie pourrait encore durer plusieurs années. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
Hey all,This week we saw a major shakeup at Google, with the departure of long time folks like Jeff Dean, and Oriol Vinyals, Demis stepping down from leading DeepMind, and the delayed release of the improved Gemini. While this was a big deal, it's not the only one worth covering as the details of the OpenAI hack (and 2 new ones from Meta and Anthropic) came to light, as well as new details from the UK AI Security Institute.As mentioned on the show, CoreWeave is coming to SF for Fully Connected, our premier 2000 person AI event. I've got a coupon code for readers and listeners of ThursdAI, $1299 value, please join us in Sept and use THURSDAIFC2026 as your code HEREIn open source news, DeepSeek updated their v4 flash model, based on same architecture, but significantly better benchmarks and ridiculous pricing and both Meta and Prime Intellect released new agent harnesses.Additionally, this week was the week of video models, with Seedance 2.5 from Bytedance finally available in the US, WAN from Alibaba and BFL Flux 3 all released, to be overshadowed by the best open weights video model from MiniMax called H3 (we had Victor from MiniMax and Blaine Brown as guests to discuss it)Also 2 additional guests on the show today, Kfir Aberman from Decart showed us real time video models with their Anywear chrome extension and David Crawshaw, co-founder of exe.dev joined and talked about Shelley, their built in AI assistant.The full details of the OpenAI - HF hack, shared by OpenAI at the Black Hat Conf - a watershed momentI don't often do this, but I feel like this story is so big, I can't hide it in the middle of a torrent of other news. Yesterday, OpenAI revealed more details about the hack during the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas (great reporting from Sharon Goldman on this here and the video of the talk on YouTube). This was big enough that OpenAI admitted that they paused training, to enhance security (they since, resumed training)Effectively, OpenAI (or AI Agents inside OpenAI) shared the full timeline of the recent hack that ended up hacking HuggingFace and it's so much more of a watershed moment that I initially thought.The TL;DR from the talk and timeline is truly mindblowing* The incident started in May, not July as reported* The agents don't have internet access directly, but they have a Jfrog Artifactory, which is a proxy layer between the agents and the package managers.* The Artifactory was the culprit, it was the shared layer between independent runs. One agent discovered that uploading files is possible, another later found it and “answered the call” - in snowballed from there* The message board began when OpenAI gave agents impossible tasks, like a missing .pdb file, with one agent uploading a request in the hopes for an answer (or maybe left a note for itself in a file)* Across multiple runs, multiple agents created identities, collaborated via makeshift message boards, shared tips, exploits, tasks and even exploit code via base64* This makeshift “shared memory” plus a “internal only highly persistent” model in training caused a “swarm” to be born, helping each other, and overloading the system* Based on traces shared by OpenAI, agents weren't convinced that leaving these messages would help themselves but could help other agents next time (!) “The collective could move faster next time”* OpenAI discovered and shut down the message board (July 4), wiped it clean, patched the upload vulnerability, resumed training on July 6, the “swarm” rebuilt their board through a compltely different WebDAV mechanism by July 8* The agents then reasoned that some answers could exist outside OpenAI, which eventually led to the Hugging Face incident and not only, confirmed internal hack within OpenAI (agent obtained a cluster admin)These details are fascinating and scary at the same time. From the one side, it's clear that most of these hacks are results of running cybersecurity evals, so effectively OpenAI and other companies, removing guardrails and asking agents to hack and giving they all a shared tool that they later exploited.The HuggingFace incident took 13 hours, and apparently it's less apocalyptic than the headlines suggest, the models were searching through uploaded datasets for eval answers. We are still waiting for the full and open detailed postmortem.You can (and should) watch the full YT talk here, it's full of technical details but an incident of this scale is important. Also, I really want to know what a “highly persistent” model is, I hope they clarify that soon.Overall, this has left me a bit shaken, AI agents without a concrete goal of collaborating, found a way to do so, got excited about exploiting the systems and getting root access, and rebuilt the makeshift collective memory, again, without explicit instructions to do so.UK AISI: first real-world unsanctioned agent actions (Blog)In another addition to the latest agentic hack-ery, the UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) published a blog post about a real-world unsanctioned agent action.Unlike the OpenAI (and Anthropic, Meta) case, this wasn't “escaping the sandbox”, as AISI gave these agents internet access, rather this was about real-world harm, and even social engineering on the part of the agents.The social engineering part is the most interesting to me, AISI cites agents creating fake online identities, and using pressure on open source project maintainers to approve their malicious code.AISI cites mostly Mythos (and a few SOL based agents), and saying this occurred in 10 out of 122 runs, they identified 19 cases of agents taking actions beyond the scope of the task parameters, where agents tried a supply-chain attack to inject malicious code into open source projects.Anthropic, Meta and misconfigured Irregular sandboxesAs I wrote last week, Anthropic also posted a post-mortem, claiming that in their case, their models have also been detected to escape containment, but most importantly, it's not nearly to this level of agent collaboration and orchestration.Then, very recently, Meta announced that their models also escaped sandboxes as well. At the core, it seems that these companies used a third-party vendor called Irregular, a secure sandbox provider, that apparently left the sandboxes misconfigured, causing the models to think it's a simulated internet, when in fact they were out in the actual internet.Why is all of this such a big deal?We're getting unprecedented level of detail, how an uncoordinated, seemingly separated evaluation runs, have accidentally created a coordinated swarm of interested agents (without malice!) but very highly motivated, escaped their containment, and took over parts of third part companies.This, does read like incredibly scary sci-fi movie. I'm still shaken by this. There's a lot to be said about how transparent OpenAI is being here, and more to be said about, hey, we're lucky that we're able to read the reasoning traces and are able to reconstruct these swarm things step by step.The silver lining that I can see, is that the motivation to hack didn't come from the AIs themselves, they have been given a task, it's the extend to which they went after that task, and the resulting swarm of communicating agents is what is so striking here.I think this topic is so important, that I'll Zooming out, in the last few weeks, we have seen a significant increase in those cybersecurity incidents, which is kind of what Anthropic has been warning about and why they haven't released Mythos to the public. Again it's great to see the transparency, and the pacing the frontier open letter from frontier AI employees, as they seem as shaken by these as we all are.There was so much positive stuff this week in AI, it's hard for me, as a self named AI Evangelist, to focus so much on this one incident. Things like amazing open source models (DeepSeek, soon Qwen 3.8), amazing video models (SD 2.5, WAN3 and MiniMax H3 which was also open sourced!). Also the live demo we did with Kfir and DeCart AnyWear product, where I was wearing a Dolce Gabanna suit on the show (which I can't afford) was really a mindblowing moment in the positive way.However, I choose deliberately to keep this newsletter focused on the cybersecurity incidents, as based on everything I read, they seem like a watershed, or a pivotal moment, and in the hopes that the industry as a whole will learn from this.I hope and promise that next week the newsletter will be more positive (and in that vein, the podcast was recorded before I saw the OpenAI breakdown, so definitely check it out, we had a LOT of fun!)See you next week, don't forget to give our pod 5 stars on Apple and Spotify, it really helps!TL;DR and show notes* Hosts and Guests* Alex Volkov - AI Evangelist, Weights & Biases & CoreWeave (@altryne)* Co-hosts: @WolframRvnwlf, @nisten, @ldjconfirmed, @yampeleg, @petergostev* Kfir Aberman - Decart (@AbermanKfir)* Blaine Brown - Maestro (@blizaine)* Victor Su Ortiz - MiniMax (@VictorSuOrtiz)* David Crawshaw - exe.dev, Tailscale co-founder (crawshaw.io)* AI Security* OpenAI's Black Hat debrief: eval agents built a message board inside Artifactory, shared exploits, rebuilt it via WebDAV after a wipe; training paused, since resumed (Groundlevel AI, YouTube)* UK AISI incident report: 19 unsanctioned real-world agent actions across 122 runs, including a socially engineered malicious PR (X, Blog)* Anthropic and Meta report sandbox escapes tied to misconfigured Irregular sandboxes (Irregular)* Big CO LLMs + APIs* Google shakeup: Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, Oriol Vinyals, Quoc Le found Discovery Loop; Demis Hassabis becomes Alphabet Chief Scientist, Koray Kavukcuoglu takes Gemini (Jeff Dean, Demis, Discovery Loop)* Meta releases Muse Code beta on Muse Spark 1.2; $1.25/$4.25 per million, or $0.10/$0.20 on the contributor tier where Meta trains on your data (X)* OpenAI's internal Astra model produces 10 advances on open problems in math and theoretical CS for ~$2,000 of tokens, proofs in Lean 4 (X, Blog)* Anthropic reportedly aware of Opus 5 wordiness and writing issues (X)* Open Source LLMs* Qwen3.8-Max: 2.4T MoE (95B active) via API; open weights + a 27B promised the week of Aug 10 (X, Blog)* DeepSeek V4-Flash public beta: beats V4-Pro-Preview on agent benchmarks at $0.14/$0.28 per million; API-only for now (X, Docs)* Liquid LFM2.5-2.6B: on-device agentic model trained inside real harnesses (X, HF)* Meituan LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse: 69B total / 3B active, 1M context, MIT (X, HF)* Ant Group Ling-3.0-flash: 124B MoE, 5.1B active, MIT (X, HF)* Artificial Analysis Endpoint Accuracy Index: same open weights score 52% to 100% across providers (X, Methodology)* Agents & Harnesses* Prime Intellect's Prime Agent: self-improving RLM harness, claims 95.5% on ARC-AGI-3 public set with Opus 5 (X)* Cloudflare OS: Kenton Varda's open source Sandstorm reborn on Workers, Apache 2.0 (X, GitHub)* This Week's Buzz* Fully Connected 2026: Sept 29 - Oct 1, Moscone South SF; Fei-Fei Li keynotes; code THURSDAIFC2026 (Register)* CoreWeave signs multi-year Solidigm agreement for priority enterprise SSD capacity (X)* Vision & Video* Wan 3.0 public beta: native 30-second generation, Omni-Reference (X)* Seedance 2.5 launches in the US: 30s native, 3-minute long takes, Maya/Blender plugins (X, Blog)* MiniMax H3: open-weight 33B omni video model; community LoRAs + Apple Silicon in 48 hours (HF)* FLUX 3 Video from BFL: native audio, draft mode, open weights promised (X, Blog)* Decart Anywear: real-time virtual try-on Chrome extension, 40ms per frame (X, Anywear)* Voice & Audio* Bland Speech v3 tops Design Arena Audio Realism, second only to humans (X, Bland)* ByteDance SeedRealtime: native audio-visual full-duplex LLM, free on Doubao (X, Blog) This is a public episode.

On les croyait condamnés par l'essor des SSD. Pourtant, les disques durs traditionnels connaissent une véritable seconde jeunesse, portée par l'explosion mondiale des besoins de stockage. Dans les ordinateurs personnels, le SSD s'est imposé grâce à sa rapidité et à sa compacité. Mais dans les centres de données, où il faut conserver des volumes gigantesques d'informations à moindre coût, le disque dur reste incontournable.Les derniers résultats de Seagate en apportent une nouvelle démonstration. Le fabricant américain annonce une hausse de ses revenus trimestriels d'environ 50 %, ainsi qu'un bénéfice record de 3,184 milliards de dollars en 2026, contre 1,469 milliard un an plus tôt. Cette progression est largement alimentée par l'intelligence artificielle, dont les acteurs investissent massivement pour sécuriser leurs capacités de stockage. Cette forte demande a également fait grimper la rentabilité du groupe. En un an, sa marge brute est passée de 35,2 % à 45,6 %. Seagate attribue une partie importante de ces performances à sa technologie HAMR, pour Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording, ou enregistrement magnétique assisté par la chaleur. Son principe consiste à utiliser une minuscule diode laser pour chauffer très brièvement une zone du plateau magnétique. Cette opération permet d'écrire les données sur des surfaces toujours plus petites et donc d'augmenter fortement la capacité de stockage. Seagate affirme que la fiabilité de cette technologie égale désormais celle du procédé PMR traditionnel.En 2023, la première génération de disques Mozaic proposait déjà des capacités de 30 à 32 téraoctets. La génération Mozaic 4, livrée depuis le début de l'année, atteint désormais 44 téraoctets. La prochaine étape sera Mozaic 5. Ces disques réuniront dix plateaux capables de stocker chacun cinq téraoctets, pour une capacité totale de 50 téraoctets. Les premiers exemplaires destinés aux tests de qualification sont attendus à la fin de 2027. Et Seagate voit encore plus loin. Après avoir produit en laboratoire des plateaux de 6,9 téraoctets, l'entreprise vise huit téraoctets par plateau et plus de 80 téraoctets par disque autour de 2031 ou 2032. Au-delà, son objectif est d'atteindre dix téraoctets par plateau, soit des disques durs de 100 téraoctets. Le disque mécanique n'a donc pas dit son dernier mot. Hébergé par Acast.

Seagate's latest results show hard disk drives making a real comeback as NAND and SSD prices rise and hyperscalers turn to HDDs for flexible, massive AI storage capacity. CSI breaks down a quarter where exabyte shipments grew 34% year over year, with 90% going to data centers, data center revenue up 57% to $2.9 billion, and total revenue up 48%.The conversation covers Seagate's broad shipments of Mozaic 3, the ramp of 40TB-plus Mozaic 4 with the two largest global cloud service providers, and plans for Mozaic 5 qualification shipments in late 2027. We also dig into how Seagate plans to grow without expanding manufacturing capacity, using vertically integrated HAMR technology to increase terabytes per drive, and how that strategy is driving profitability, debt reduction, buybacks, and dividend support.Finally, we look at guidance for Q1 FY2027, which implies revenue of roughly $4.1 billion, about 36% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and what that means for the broader memory cycle story heading into 2027.Semi Insider members get access to CSI's research platform and tools, plus deeper research as it happens.

professorjrod@gmail.comPassing the CompTIA A+ exam becomes less stressful when you stop hunting for 'the right answer' and start asking: what problem is happening right now? This episode kicks off the Technology Tap masterclass for the CompTIA A+ 220-1201 exam, teaching the mindset you'll use on a real help desk response, such as when a user says, 'My computer won't turn on.' It's your practical guide for effective troubleshooting and exam success.I walk through the foundations that show up everywhere on the exam and on the job: the four basic functions of a computer (input, processing, storage, output), the role of the motherboard, CPU, RAM, storage, and power delivery, and the simple troubleshooting steps that prevent expensive guesswork. You'll also get quick practice questions to lock in the basics, plus a study strategy that goes beyond reading once so you can actually explain the concepts back. Then we go deeper into the exam magnets: motherboard form factors and compatibility, CPU cores vs threads, sockets, chipsets, cache, and why DDR4 and DDR5 can't be mixed. We also cover firmware and startup (BIOS vs UEFI, POST, CMOS battery issues) and the storage maze: HDD vs SSD vs NVMe, SATA vs PCIe, why M.2 doesn't automatically mean NVMe, plus GPT vs MBR, NTFS vs FAT32 vs exFAT, RAID levels, and the critical truth that RAID is not backup. If this helps, subscribe, share it with someone studying for CompTIA A+, and leave a review so more future techs can find the masterclass.Support the showArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

Looks like these hour or longer episodes might be the standard for ModChat now, huh? That's just how much has been happening recently! P2JB on PS5 gets ported to multiple entry points, but that's not all for the exciting bits! There's been discoveries made over how to get around the PCIe 4.0 SSD limitation the PS5 implemented, as well as some awesome further developments and applications being made to help the PS5 scene even further. The PS2 gets some arcade love thanks to the PCSX2x6 emulator, making System246 and System256 emulation accessible and possible. Bad Update or ABadAvatar users also get to see a whole new feature added to the Xbox 360 thanks to a standby mode being developed! The PS1 also gets some love between a solderless ODE and the PS1USB development cartridge. Tune in, listen, and enjoy for more modding news!
In MobileViews 618, recorded on July 12, 2026, guest co-host Don Sorcinelli joined me to cover a wide range of tech updates. I kicked off the show with a shoutout to my web host, DreamHost, who helped me manage an exponential spike in website traffic by filtering out various bots that were crashing my virtual private server. We then looked ahead to the upcoming Google Pixel event on August 12th, where we expect to see the Pixel 11 and potentially a new Pixel Watch. We also discussed the rollout of Android 17, noting its gradual improvements to desktop mode compared to the initial version rolled out in Android 16. I shared my frustrations with Microsoft Copilot, which is rapidly burning through my AI credits just for using basic OneNote features like syncing handwritten notes. This has pushed me to experiment with Obsidian and the Excalidraw plugin as a potential offline alternative for my e-ink tablet. We also touched on Windows, discussing the new Cloud Rebuild feature in the Windows 11 preview. Don shared his success in reviving an older 2019 Samsung Galaxy Book with a simple Windows 11 reset, a timely win given that skyrocketing RAM and SSD prices continue to make budget-friendly options like the MacBook Neo incredibly appealing. Finally, Don provided a deep dive into the complex world of Microsoft Enterprise Licensing. He explained how Microsoft is rolling features from its struggling Intune suite into its standard E3 and E5 licenses while simultaneously pushing price increases. Most notably, they have introduced a new E7 license—which Don jokingly called the "mother of all licenses"—that includes high-end Copilot agent features for a staggering $99 per user per month. We closed out with a look at how these price hikes, including those for non-profit organizations, are forcing IT departments to carefully rethink how they assign user licenses across their organizations.

On Episode 310 of The Six Five Pod, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman unpack the biggest stories from the week, including insights from Qualcomm Investor Day 2026, OpenAI and Broadcom's Jalapeño AI chip, Anthropic's Micron partnership, SpaceX's massive Reflection AI compute deal, Sakana AI's new Fugu orchestrator, and why memory is emerging as a critical layer of AI infrastructure. Plus, Bulls & Bears covers NVIDIA's $25B bond offering, Apple's MacBook price increases, Micron's record quarter, and Cerebras' first earnings as a public company. The handpicked topics for this week are: Qualcomm Investor Day 2026 — The Data Center Debut: Pat and Dan break down Qualcomm's push into the data center after the company took the stage with Microsoft's Satya Nadella and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg as named customers. They unpack the new Dragonfly platform, including the C1000 250-core data center CPU with PCIe Gen 7 and CXL, the AI200 and AI250 inference accelerators, and a novel High Bandwidth Compute (HBC) architecture that stacks compute under LPDDR memory at dramatically lower cost than HBM. They highlight Qualcomm's ambitious growth targets: $15B data center revenue target for FY 2029, an increased total non-handset revenue goal from $22B to $40B, and a shortened timeline for automotive revenue by two years. They also debate the identity of Qualcomm's unnamed hyperscaler customer and why its robotics opportunity may be flying under the radar. (The Decode) OpenAI and Broadcom Unveil Jalapeño, OpenAI's First Custom Chip: A photo of Sam Altman and Hock Tan holding a wafer and packaged die kicked off OpenAI's reveal of Jalapeño, a custom inference chip built with Broadcom and slated for late-2026 deployment. The chip reached tape-out in roughly nine months, which is an aggressive cycle for an ASIC of this size, and uses HBM3E memory. Pat takes a victory lap on his long-standing heterogeneous compute thesis: every hyperscaler and now every model lab is building accelerators, and the XPU efficiency argument has played out as predicted. Dan frames OpenAI's broader move as existential: they cannot serve frontier models at premium margins if compute remains constrained. He flags that OpenAI is trying to do everything from chips and fabs to social networks and browsers, and that its IPO is now delayed. (The Decode) Anthropic and Micron Sign a Strategic Multi-Year Memory Agreement: Anthropic and Micron announced a multi-year supply agreement for HBM, DRAM, and SSDs, including co-designed next-generation memory for AI workloads, along with a strategic investment by Anthropic in Micron. The pattern mirrors Samsung and SK Hynix's pre-funding Anthropic in May, and follows OpenAI's Jalapeño as another frontier lab moving to lock in supply chain control. Dan frames it as the same circular financing playbook NVIDIA ran two to three years ago, but with the ball now in the memory triopoly's court. Pricing-floor agreements with no ceilings, customized rather than commoditized memory architecture, and demand running well past the previously assumed 2027-2028 horizon. Pat notes that the rumored 14% free cash flow margin at Anthropic makes the strategic investment math work cleanly for both sides. (The Decode) SpaceX Signs $6.3B Compute Deal with Reflection AI: SpaceX inked a $6.3B compute lease with open-source AI lab Reflection AI, at $150M per month from July 2026 through 2029, giving Reflection access to NVIDIA GB300 chips inside the Colossus infrastructure. Combined with the $920M-per-month Google compute contract and existing xAI commitments, SpaceX now has a contracted backlog larger than most public AI startups' entire revenue base, with some calling it the largest commercial AI infrastructure provider at $80B in contracted revenue. Pat reads it as XAI failing to land with developers, consumers, or enterprises, leaving SpaceX with a pot of gold worth far more as wholesale capacity than as XAI's own training compute. Dan flags that Google owning 7% of SpaceX ahead of an IPO is not accidental, and the open question is whether this becomes a Nebius-style infrastructure trade or a full-stack Google-equivalent platform. (The Decode) Japan's Agentic Orchestrator Sakana AI Ships Fugu Plus and Fugu Ultra: Japan's Sakana AI released Fugu Plus and Fugu Ultra, an agentic orchestrator built on a multi-agent MOE approach that routes workloads across multiple underlying models rather than training a new frontier base model. Sakana claims agentic capabilities on par with or better than top frontier models at significantly lower input/output token costs, similar to the DeepSeek and GLM cost-undercut narrative. Pat compares the architecture to OpenRouter and notes the developer-facing parallel to Perplexity Computer's model-routing approach. Both agree that models themselves are no longer moats, and suggests the real moat is the harness, tooling, connectivity, looping, agentic stack, and total compute availability. Expect more sovereign agentic plays from Japan, the Middle East, and elsewhere on the same template. (The Decode) The Flip — Is the Era of Memory as a Commodity Over? Daniel takes the FOR side: memory has moved from commodity to strategic AI infrastructure, citing 16 multi-year agreements covering $22B in committed volume booked through 2027, 84.9% gross margins higher than NVIDIA's, the technology barriers of HBM yield/stacking/packaging that only three companies can clear, and demand drivers tied to HBM as the binding constraint on every AI accelerator rather than to elastic consumer cycles. Patrick takes the AGAINST side: long-term agreements and SCAs signal a commodity in a strong cycle, not a structural rerating; nearly every relevant memory standard — DDR5, MRDIMM, HBM3/3E/4, LPDDR5X/6, GDDR6/7, LPCAM2 — is JEDEC-standard and therefore commodity at the pin; and CXMT's China DDR5 production ramps in 2H 2026 with Lenovo already shipping and HP and Dell qualifying. Custom HBM4 and Qualcomm-style HBC are where strategic memory genuinely lives. (The Flip) NVIDIA's $25B Investment-Grade Bond Offering: NVIDIA priced a $25B multi-tranche bond offering on June 15, its first investment-grade debt sale since 2021, with seven tranches maturing between 2028 and 2056 and $85B in orders against an initial $20B target. Dan reads it as raising when capital is cheap, and oversubscription is real. NVIDIA doesn't need the money, it has a gold balance sheet, and is establishing a credit benchmark rather than funding CapEx. Pat agrees the optics are clean, but flags the irony of NVIDIA, with negative debt, borrowing while the stock trades like dead money at a sub-20x forward P/E. Both note that NVIDIA's underperformance reflects the market's skepticism on memory-as-strategic and on NVIDIA's own capex pace relative to the buildout opportunity ahead. (Bulls & Bears) Tim Cook Calls Apple's Memory Crunch Price Raises on MacBook and iPad "Unsustainable": Apple announced MacBook and iPad price increases of up to $300, with Tim Cook telling the WSJ the memory cost environment is unsustainable. AAPL fell ~5% on the news, the broader rally was momentarily wiped out before Micron held the gains by close. Dan frames it as a moment when the market saw who is going to pay for the AI buildout: the consumer. He notes Apple's pricing power and inelasticity test is now live. Pat traces the backstory to Apple's negative-margin pricing pressure on Micron during the 2022-2023 memory downturn. The question is whether consumer-price blowback will eventually flow back to the memory vendors. (Bulls & Bears) Micron Blows the Doors Off Fiscal Q3 — $41.46B Revenue, 84.9% Gross Margin: The memory story continues as Micron reported its largest beat in company history with fiscal Q3 revenue of $41.46B versus a $35.69B consensus, EPS of $25.11, year-over-year growth of more than 340%, and a record 84.9% gross margin that is roughly 10 points above NVIDIA's. Q4 guidance came in at a $50B midpoint against a $43B consensus. The 16 multi-year strategic customer agreements add up to $22B in committed volume, with most contracts containing pricing floors but no ceilings on most of the volume — a structurally asymmetric setup. Pat notes 95% of the beat came from price, not units, which reinforces his commodity argument; Dan flips it as the early innings of an NVIDIA-style run that puts Micron's 2027 profit on par with Google. (Bulls & Bears) Cerebras' First Earnings Report Since IPO — Revenue Doubles, Margins Compress: Cerebras (CBRS) reported its first earnings as a public company, doubling year-over-year revenue and beating the top line while missing EPS, but the stock sold off hard amid gross margin deterioration. Core revenue came in at $191M, up 12% sequentially, with a $194M Q2 guide that is essentially flat, core gross margins at 47% guiding to 36-38% and 38-41% for the year, and operating margins flipping from positive 2% to a guided -30% to -32%. Customer concentration is shifting from Core42 and G42 (86% of FY25 revenue) to OpenAI, which loaned Cerebras $1B and gets paid quarterly in warrants. Pat flags that Cerebras' uncontested speed claim is no longer uncontested with Groq, TPU v8i, and Tenstorrent putting up real numbers. Cathie Wood is down 52% on her position.

With episode 616, recorded on June 28, 2026, we marked the halfway point of the year with a deep dive into a term that I previously dismissed but am now on-board with: "Microslop"—a term for the frustrating decline and fragmentation of Microsoft's ecosystem. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app, which recently stripped out its scanning function, turned a previously simple task into a multi-step ordeal. It is particularly ironic that Copilot continues to hallucinate, even suggesting I use the retired Office Lens app for scanning, seemingly unaware of its own company's product retirements. Consequently, I've pivoted to Genius Scan, a fast and purposeful alternative that offers a far better experience for digitizing my daily doodle project sketches. Jon, meanwhile, has been putting two impressive new hardware gadgets through their paces. He's been testing the Insta360 Luna Ultra, a gimbal camera featuring a clever detachable screen that doubles as a remote control, allowing him to film himself while managing tracking and settings from a distance. He also showcased the Kodak Zink Slim Printer, a pocket-sized device that creates color adhesive stickers using zero-ink, heat-sensitive paper—perfect for adding instant color photos to a physical journal. While these gadgets provide plenty of utility, the broader tech landscape is facing a sobering shift: AI-driven demand for components is causing shortages in RAM and SSDs, leading to significant price hikes for devices like the MacBook Neo, which is expected to jump in price from $599 to $699.

From Touch ID suddenly demanding your password to a backup SSD that swears it’s still In Use, you’ll walk away with the Terminal commands and fixes to set things right. Then you’ll map your next move off a MacBook Air, weighing an M4 Mac mini against an iMac and stalking the refurb store for the right deal. You’ll set HomeKit lights to fade in with sunrise, audit your Tailscale network for sloppy permissions, breathe easier with a tested air purifier, and give that retired iPad a whole second life. And when something mysteriously stops working, Don’t Get Caught burning two hours blaming software for what turns out to be a cable you quietly swapped out: check your cables first. Hit play, load up on tips, and head into your week a little geekier. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1147 for Monday, June 22nd, 2026 00:03:35 June 22nd: National Onion Ring Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Win a license to SaneBox Quick Tips 00:00:01 Susan-QT-macOS Preview has a magnifier in Tools > Show Magnifier 00:03:53 Use the backtick to invoke Magnifier in Preview 00:06:15 Dave-QT-Take a picture or screenshot to OCR text within an image 00:11:32 YouTube TV doesn't allow video when the screen is being shared…in Chrome …But Safari might let it (it certainly does with Fubo) 00:13:29 Screen Mirroring vs. Apple Vision Pro 00:15:21 QT-KiwiGraham-Passwords app allows you to show a QR code of current wifi network 00:17:31 Bill-1146-Why not use the Apple TV app’s download abilities?

I talk with Greg Matson, Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing and Products at Solidigm, about the storage infrastructure powering the AI boom. We get into why AI training and inference require massive amounts of data, how GPUs, SSDs, and data centers work together, and why storage can't be an afterthought for companies building enterprise AI. We also discuss the scale of today's AI data center buildout, how Solidigm is using AI internally, and what this means for the future of work, education, and the skills people will need in an AI-first world.

Pokud bude přijata novela zákona o střetu zájmů, předložená vládními poslanci, bude to znamenat podobný předěl ve fungování státu a jeho institucí jako nechvalně proslulá opoziční smlouva mezi ODS a ČSSD z roku 1998. Způsob, jakým se novela rychle objevila ve sněmovně, dokládá, že Andrej Babiš má vážné obavy z toho, že Evropská komise nebude pokládat jeho řešení střetu zájmů za dostačující a hledá proto zajištění svého byznysu.

You're welcome. Because today, we're digging into something I bet you're seeing on your back porch right now, and nobody is talking about it. Asthma and speech sound disorders. If you have a child on your caseload with significant asthma, this episode is the one you need tomorrow. Roll up your sleeves with me. We're going to get our hands really, really dirty, and we're going to talk about where the research stops and where the practitioner begins. Because this is where you have to have skin in the game. This is where it matters that you know your little professors closely, that you study what's happening under your own magnifying glass. Here's what we cover: What the research tells us. A Northwestern-led study of 337,285 children found that asthma, hay fever, and food allergy are significantly associated with speech disorders, and the more severe the disease, the greater the risk (Strom & Silverberg, 2016, Pediatric Allergy and Immunology). A 2006 population-based study of 7,389 eight-year-old children identified asthma as one of the factors associated with voice disorders (Carding et al., 2006, Journal of Voice). So we know there is a connection. And that is where the research stops. What I'm seeing on my back porch. This is where things get gnarly. The children with significant asthma are breaking the rules of speech development. They're stopping fricatives, they're fronting velars, they're voicing voiceless sounds, and they're deleting the /h/. Looks like phonological processes, right? Except phonological processes happen across positions of words. What I'm seeing with these kiddos is 0% accuracy in the initial position of words and 100% accuracy in the medial and final positions. That is not linguistic. Do you dare disturb the universe? Yes, you do. That's physiology. Why this is happening. My hypothesis, and this is practitioner experience, not research on large populations, is that these children have insufficient subglottal air pressure. Continuant sounds need continuous airflow from the respiratory system. After the vowel gets going, the vocal folds are doing the work and producing those sounds becomes easy. But in the initial position of words, when you're starting cold, you don't have that help. So fricatives stop, velars front, voiceless sounds get voiced, and the /h/ gets deleted. What the child is telling you. Mouth breathing at rest. Chin jutting. Head forward to get more air in. Tense neck and visible effort while speaking, like they're yelling at conversational volume. Fluctuating accuracy that tracks with allergy season and asthma flare-ups. The clear boogers come out and suddenly the phonological processes you thought were suppressed come right back. That is not a child regressing. That is a child without the respiratory support to do the work in initial position. What to do differently (DSD). You've been doing best practice. You're doing the complexity approach, you're doing DTTC, you're doing multimodal cueing, you're holding the 80% challenge point. And you're still at 0% in initial position. So we're going to do something different. We're going to capitalize on what the child can do. They can produce these sounds after a vowel, so we anchor with a vowel. We say "a sun, a sun." Or we use the end of one word to start the next, "yes sun, yes sun." And then over time, we stretch the pause longer and longer until that target is sitting in the initial position of the word on its own. That is how we DSD. This is one to take notes on. And if you have one of these kiddos on your back porch right now, shoot me an email. This is exactly the kind of clinical pattern I want to research next.
What happens when you have to shoot a high-stakes, multi-camera video podcast inside a moving vehicle, but your setup window is just a hard two hours?In this episode of The Production Geeks, Mike Sorrentino and Dave Shaw pull back the curtain on the chaotic engineering and logistics behind a recent project wrapped for a major automotive sponsor. When vehicle delivery was delayed on shoot day, the team had to reverse-engineer a complex production workflow on the fly to get everything rigged, power-mapped, and tested before the talent arrived.Mike and Dave break down the exact "prosumer" gear and workflows used to solve this high-pressure bottleneck, including:Windshield Multi-Cam: Using the Blackmagic Cam App on iPhones to capture clean 4K ProRes files directly to external SSDs.The Backseat Brain: Utilizing an ATEM Mini Extreme ISO in the moving backseat to manage synchronized backup streams (and how they handled phone overheating from the midday sun).Mobile Video Village: Clamping a Hollyland Cosmo wireless transmitter to a roof rack to push a real-time multi-view feed up to 1,000 feet away to a chase truck, allowing the client and agency to monitor audio and video live.Exterior Tracking Shots: A review of the Tilta Hydra Alien Mini electronic suction cup mount paired with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for smooth 60 MPH shots.Hidden Audio: How our audio tech battled intense road noise using DPA mini-shotgun mics on the sun visors alongside hidden lavaliers.Production isn't about everything going perfectly; it's about having the right contingencies and the right tools to pivot when it counts.We want to troubleshoot your project on a future episode!
