US-Zölle: Globale PC-Verkäufe legen zu
In Erwartung von US-Zöllen steigen die globalen PC-Lieferungen im ersten Quartal 2025 um fast sieben Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Unsicherheit aber bleibt.
Asus, Lenovo und Co.: Notebook-Hersteller setzen Lieferungen in die USA aus
Nach Razer und Framework setzen weitere große PC-Hersteller wie Lenovo, Asus und Co. den Warenverkehr in die USA aus.
Having a few weird issues trying to get this US Cutter Plotter to work reliably, and it turns out one of the issues is bad HPGL output from Inkscape. This handy dandy protocol analyzer let me sniff the serial traffic and confirm that the latest Inkscape was actually outputting incorrect HPGL
A rectangle correctly plotted from Inkscape 1.3 in Windows:
IN; PU; SP1, PU12255,2318; PD16319,2318,16319,794,12255,794,12255,2318; PU0,0; SPO; IN;
The same file from 1.4 on the Mac:
IN; PU; SP1; PU10,10; PD10,4084,15,4083,19,4079,20,4074,1544,4074,1543,4069,1539,4065,1534,4064,1534,0,15
Weird, right? Well at least I can stop second guessing myself. Bug report filed, and maybe I'll try it form Linux next.
The other thing to look out for on these cutters: They don't respond to any of the Output Instruction commands - so you can't see the status, limits, or anything else. It is also pretty basic in the commands that it executes. It'll do lines, and that's about it.

The Skynet Conspiracy
December 12, 2024
fake politics
Skynet is Real
"Skynet is a company in the fictional movie Terminator (1984) and Terminator: Judgement Day (1991) and others. But to me Skynet is not fictional. The movies are 'predictive programming' long before any of this came to be.
"In the fictional world of the movie, Cyberdyne – the company that created Skynet – was a computer firm operating out of Sunnyvale, California. The street name was El Camino Real.
"In reality, Sunnyvale, California, along with Mountain View, Menlo Park and Palo Alto are today Silicon Valley, the now world-famous center of computers, internet and AI that developed in the 1990s and early 2000s. El Camino Real is a real street and a mere 10 minute drive from today’s #Google Headquarters.
"How did the writers of #Terminator know this would become the world center of #AI more than two decades later?
"When the movie script was written in 1983, the term '#Internet' was not yet public. The writers used the word 'Skynet'.
From the Terminator Fan Wiki Page:
"'A T-800 Terminator, which was sent from the future and designed to kill humans, programmed to assassinate Sarah Connor, was crushed in one of the hydraulic presses in Cyberdyne’s factory. Thus, the company obtained the machine’s wreckage, including its CPU chip and an arm.
"After its arrival in 1984, Meta-Node was able to reach Cyberdyne Systems Laboratory in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado. It provided the technical data, which accelerated the development of Skynet. This leap of engineering accelerated the events that led to Skynet achieving self-awareness, thereby making any Resistance futile. The Meta-Node then served as an information tutor and guardian, uploading to the fledgling Skynet all the tactical data gathered about the future, then protecting it so it could carry out Judgment Day. As Skynet of this timeline gained various knowledge from the #MetaNode, there would be no #Resistance after the nuclear holocaust'.
And:
"'#Cyberdyne eventually developed Skynet, a network of supercomputers that employed #ArtificialIntelligence in order to replace human beings as commercial and military aircraft pilots, and for the control of other military systems, including nuclear missiles. The system went online on August 4, 1997. On August 29, 1997, Skynet became self-aware. In a panic, its creators attempted to shut it down, but Skynet retaliated by launching a nuclear attack against Russia, knowing that the Russian counterattack would eliminate its enemies in the United States, initiating an indeterminately long period of global warfare. The battle pitted humans against Cyberdyne machines, which developed ever-increasing capabilities. Although the company was presumably shut down or destroyed, the event was later known as Judgment Day.
"In other words, the military created Skynet (Internet & Big Tech). Cheyenne Mountain does not only exist in the fictional Universe, it’s also a real military place beneath a mountain. Skynet achieved self-awareness. Then it used Robots to wage war against humans.
The Military runs Big Tech
:It is true that the Internet was created by the military – by #DARPA to be exact. DARPA is short for “Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency”. They invented it in the 1960s, quarter of a century before they let us have it, and called it ARPANET. One of the early Logos used by DARPA:
I assert that they didn’t only create Internet, but all of Big Tech. I think it’s easy to prove and I’ll try to right now.
In Mountain View, California the following companies share the same physical space:
- #Google
- #Lockheed
- #Microsoft
- #Air Force
- #Amazon
- #HewlettPackard
- #NASA
- #Facebook"

I bought a refurbished HP EliteBook with the goal to install Linux on it. Holly crap do HP make it absurdly difficult to change security settings! I had to set a BIOS password (which I never had to do before) and for every security setting changed, it shows a scary screen with vague indications on how to continue (you have to type the displayed code).
