My experience fixing my Framework 13” laptop with AMD 7060 series that was bricked due to a failed BIOS update with US$20 worth of tools, instead of replacing the motherboard as suggested by Framework support.
an adventure in image processing and taking very wide photographs (blog post; 4,600 words)
The Fairphone (Gen. 6+) is here. With more power under the hood, a brand-new color, and more software features, it's everything you love about Fairphone. Plus more.
Earlier this year, I blogged about work I did to improve VRAM management for games. Now, after many months of floating around in mailing lists, the kernel patches are finally merged upstream and queued for Linux 7.3! Hooray!
Dmitry Grinberg published a long piece explaining his distaste for RISC-V, you can read his article here: RISC-V: They Should Have Known Better - Dmitry.GR . It went to the front page of Hacker News and it started a good argument on Lobsters. It is the most substantial criticism the architecture has had in a while and…
About a eight weeks ago I had virtually no interest in calculators. Blank, dull, tedious-looking objects that remind me of long, arduous rainy afternoons in 1980’s/1990’s school maths classes.
Three years ago, we released the design for the Adept, a unique trackball perfectly suited for the use of QMK, for 3D-printing, and for ambidextrous use across a wide variety of applications.
I built a small tool that turns my RSS feeds into an e-ink newspaper, so I can read my favorite blogs on a pocket e-reader instead of my phone.
Dmitry.GR: I am often asked to explain my distaste for RISC-V. Here it is.
See how Cerebras powers GPT-5.6 Sol in OpenAI's Ultrafast mode at up to 750 output tokens per second for time-sensitive AI and agent workflows.
data centers are so cool there should be one in every house
Heart Aerospace’s X1 demonstrator became the world’s largest battery-electric aircraft ever flown, demonstrating electric flight at airliner scale and advancing development of the ES-30.
If you used PCs in the 90s, you probably remember the 'Intel Inside MMX' stickers. This article explores Intel's major attempt at bringing SIMD instructions to mainstream desktop CPUs.
A celebration into the IBM PC, the Model F/XT keyboard, where it came from and what it became
I have a pen-plotter! It’s great. It’s like having a printer but slow and it breaks more often. I got it on eBay and it came sorta broken and I immediately spent the difference between what I paid and the price of new one fixing it. Now it’s fixed!
I found my old reMarkable 2 paper tablet, bought in 2021, it had sat unused for ~4 years or so. The device was in a sorry state:
In the prequel, we introduced Neptune, a Direct3D protocol forwarding layer for VirtIO. Neptune allowed us to serialize Direct3D API calls across the hypervisor boundary and this allowed us to run Wine games on a Linux guest with a Linux host faster than with DXVK directly in the guest. Admittedly, the payoff there…
Earlier this year we published a puzzle that handed you a complete neural network and asked you to figure out what it did. The response was great, so we’ve made another one! This time, we’re going much deeper down the tech stack.
round 2: rooting & analysing firmware of the TP-Link TL-WR841N
I’ve recently been working on a mechatronics project that involves constructing an X-Y cartesian motion system. I opted to use stepper motors to drive each axis, and timing belts and pulleys for translating the rotational torque of the steppers into linear motion. The timing belts need to be anchored to the component…
Running Kimi K3 at ~952 tok/s/node, AMD continues to prove its case as the winner in performance per dollar.
My complete guide for setting up the ASRock BC-250. You can’t beat its price for performance, and it’s perfect for those who love tinkering with projects.

An open-source multi-tag fully local UWB positioning system.
I've been using the built-in 10 Gigabit Ethernet on my Mac Studio for a few years. It works fine: I can edit 4K video straight off my NAS over the network, and run backups at around 1 GB/sec. But... I want more. I upgraded my rack and my NAS to 25 GbE a couple years ago, and wanted to upgrade my main workstation, too.
A language model on a 1975 MOS 6502 processor, using a tiny Mamba-based language model and custom 8-bit ternary inference engine, used to generate text on a BBC Micro from the 1980s.
From January to July 2026, I have continued to work on my UK Class 800-inspired train simulator. There are a number of components in progress, but few newly completed: in lieu of posts about completed portions of the simulator, here’s a roundup of progress across the different hardware aspects of the project.
From feet to fingertips — we are teaching robots intelligent whole-body control, fine dexterity, and teamwork to complete a broad range of complex tasks.
A battery technology that’s getting a lot of attention is solid-state batteries, lithium-ion batteries that replace the liquid electrolyte with a solid material.
