Qualcomm Acquires Ventana Micro Systems, Deepening RISC-V CPU Expertise | Qualcomm

Qualcomm just announced the acquisition of VentanaMicro giving it the leg up on risc_v design expertise. Qualcomm continues to invest in RISC-V and how the company could move further away from @Arm. I don't see meaningful change for a while though. www.qualcomm.com/news/release...

ICE arrests military spouses at green card interviews in San Diego A Marine Corps veteran is speaking out, saying he feels “betrayed” after his wife was one of the military spouses arrested during a green card interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services....

Listen to the story of this Marine Corps Veteran.

He says he feels betrayed after ICE handcuffed his wife during her final green card interview. She was following the lawful process that spouses of U.S. service members have used for decades.

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking.

I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.

RESEARCH NOTE: Bleequp Rangers — Cycling-Focused Smart Glasses with Limited AI Before this year, I had never heard of the company Bleequp — and I’ve been covering the XR and wearables space for more than 15 years. Bleequp is a relatively new company that announced its Ranger sma...

Pretty impressed with the cooling on the HP OMEN 16 MAX even if it's a little loud at times. The keyboard doesn't get too hot and the wrist pad stays pretty cool. Performance was also within 10% of the MSI Titan 18 HX with a 5090, likely due to better cooling. I enjoyed over 100 FPS in most games.

The Washington Post headline reads: "Try a ‘fart walk’ to ease the pressure after that big Thanksgiving meal Whatever you do, resist the urge to lie down. November 24, 2025" Accompanying the article if a black ad white photo of someone walking on what appears to be a cold fall day. The camera is capturing their back as they're walking in a park with leaves on the ground. They are wearing a black coat and black leggings. The Washington Post has added radiating yellow lines from their butt to suggest they're farting. The photo credit says the image is from iStock.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

Greenberg's Smoked Turkey was delicious paired with Mac n cheese, Mashed Potatoes and Cranberry Sauce made from scratch

I just cooked with Gemini Live for the first time and it was actually extremely easy because I could always ask it to recall quantities without having to look at my phone and it also calculated all of my scaling perfectly for me so I didn't make any mistakes

That's totally fair. I think the biggest upgrade would probably be the speed of the SSDs today and the CPU. Let me know if you have a budget and I'll happily throw something together for you based on your needs in pcpartpicker. I have a buddy who works in GIS and can give me the parameters.

I haven't tweeted these thoughts out yet (but I did write them in my Steam Hardware report). I think the Steam Frame is probably going to be a better value than the Steam Machine, and I think the Steam Machine is probably going to sell closer to $999 than $499, especially with DRAM $$$

The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal Exclusive: Agency accessed private conversations of New York ‘courtwatch’ group that was observing public hearings

WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.”

Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV.

Ghislaine Maxwell will plead Fifth in House Epstein probe, Comer says The late sex offender's convicted co-conspirator has been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee.

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

AMD is the way to go right now on desktop. If you have a GIS benchmark you can point me to, I can show you how much faster my 9950X3D or 9800X3D are than what you're currently running.

Better for gaming. The X3D chips have V-Cache memory on-chip which helps improve memory bandwidth well beyond anything RAM can provide.

Wyden Presses for Investigation Into JPMorgan Chase and Epstein

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

Whenever I open the Fedex app this is what I imagine (With Veo 3's help) is happening. It's so painfully slow. Also, the 100% uptime is a hilarious touch I did not ask for but is very sarcastic

RESEARCH NOTE: The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable Laptop Looks Like a Gimmick, but Is Actually Useful When I first saw the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable Laptop (say that five times fast) at CES 2025, I was absolutely blown away by its ability to transform from a 14-inch notebook into a 16-inch ...

This was genuinely a fun laptop to review, and lenovo's continued exploration of new form factors with Intel. This rollable laptop could be a gimmick, but it's way more practical than virtually any laptop its size or larger.
