“As this was the first full quarter of shipments for Snapdragon X Series PCs, we saw sequential growth of around 180% compared to Q2 2024. However, as a proportion of the total Windows market, the products remain very niche, at less than 1.5% share. The top shipping vendor was Microsoft, which has transitioned most of their Surface line to the platform. Behind them was Dell who has embraced the new platform quite strongly in terms of SKU count, followed by HP, Lenovo, Acer and Asus (all four with similar volumes).”

Attacks on two DTEK solar farms last spring is a good example. They destroyed many solar panels and some of the transformers, which step up voltage for long distances or step it down for use in homes. Replacing the transformers and swapping out destroyed panels allowed the farms, which generate 400 megawatts, to be back up in seven days.

Timchenko said an attack on a thermal generating station, which experienced a similar amount of damage, took three to four months to rebuild.

Fuck this! The "enshittification" in tech really needs to be stopped already.

It's just insane, how companies are allowed to limit the use of products. Products we paid for, based on the promise they gave us when we made a deal.

All my Yi cameras are almost unusable, despite technically working just fine.

The Yi Home app used to record activities and keep them for as long as the space on the SD card allowed, and I could go back in time a few days.

Now, it's almost useless! It just records a minute, and I can only watch footage from today and yesterday
