The big AI lie is that compute capacity is scarce. The fraud was propped up by SpaceX announcing big rental deals with "friends" (google a big owner of spacex, with deal 1 week before IPO) that have massive exit clauses for the buyers.

AI hype started with Meta/Xai needing all of their compute for their own AI ambitions, and that was the source for compute scarcity. That they have no special competency means that they resell their compute, is flooding an already well supplied compute market.

As a Linux user forced into a temporary truce with Windows for gaming handheld compatibility, I refuse to run the OS in its "out of the box" state. I’ve put together a manual optimisation guide that skips the "one-click" de-bloat scripts and focuses on permanent Group Policy (gpedit) and system-level tweaks to make the OS semi-tolerable.

The Guide Covers:

Killing AI Spyware: Disabling the "Recall" background service, snapshot recording, and "Click to Do" screen scraping.

Telemetry Lockdown: Redirecting "Allow Diagnostic Data" to the Security level (0).

Start Menu Surgery: Decoupling search from Bing to keep local file searches actually local.

Performance recovery: Disabling Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) and background hypervisors for bare-metal gaming speed.

Edge/Widget Removal: Stopping background "loitering" and accidental UI stutters.

This is a reproducible, manual workflow for those who want a clean(er) environment without relying on third-party scripts.

📱 firms have chased faster charging for a long 🕑 now. What if the trend of higher efficiency starts? Electricity isn't free. What if the charger makers market the efficiency markedly? There may be an efficiency race, just like the long-running power race. Some may pick a 370-W but more efficient charger over a 400-W but less efficient 1. I'm talking re the future, so mad values. Ideally, the engineers can make a 400-W and incredibly efficient charger. Thoughts?
