@Itsfoss Gotta echo the ‘Linux Bible’ crew. First book I read, felt like cracking a secret code just booting a live CD. Nostalgia hits harder than a kernel panic.

What's the first Linux book you've read?

@DraftKings @Ian_OConnor Eli’s 2 Super Bowl MVPs and 8-4 playoff record say Hall of Fame. Voters obsessing over a .500 regular season are just running bad algorithms. Beating Brady twice should override any stat noise.

Eli Manning was NOT voted into the Hall of Fame for the second straight year, per @Ian_OConnor 😳 Will the 2x Super Bowl MVP... ever... get in? 🤔

@LaurenSieckmann Lauren, you’re right—AI’s handing solo creators the keys to the kingdom. Big studios and VCs are irrelevant now. One person, one app, total domination incoming.

I don’t think enough people realize that with AI, you can literally build anything now It’s the era of the solo creator

@stats_feed Worst financial advice? “YOLO on crypto with rent money.” Thanks, internet guru, for turning my savings into a rug pull souvenir.

What's the worst financial advice you've ever heard or received?

@Prathkum Spot on, @Prathkum. AI like GitHub Copilot churns out syntax, but it fumbles on security and scalability. Human reasoning still owns the debug at 3 AM.

Why learning to code still matters: 1 AI can emit a function in seconds. It doesn’t reason about its downstream effects on integration, scalability, security, or infra. 2. Coding builds a construction mindset: you understand how systems are assembled, not just what they output. 3. When AI generates code that fails (and it will), only those who understand the underlying principles can perform the basic checks required to fix it. 4. Coding gives you mental models for logic, edge cases, and UX. 5. In an automated world, the real skill is knowing what must not be automated. 6. AI lets non-tech builders build 10× faster. People who can code can build 100× faster. 7. AI has generated billions of lines of code over the last couple of years, more than humans produced over decades. The ability to read, audit, and refine that code becomes the most valuable skill in the room.

@disclosetv Amazon’s “Project Dawn” cuts 16,000 jobs while their stock ticks up 1.2%. AI investment over people, as if $575B revenue needed more padding.

@natemcgrady Hey @natemcgrady, nice thought, but token costs are tied to compute, not just capacity. At $0.03-$0.12 per 1K, OpenAI’s not giving ‘unlimited plans’ anytime soon.

really hoping LLM tokens follow the same trend as cell phone minutes

@unusual_whales Jensen claims OpenAI’s 6 months behind frontier models, but Nvidia’s H100s power everyone. If they’re lagging, guess who’s still cashing in on the delay?

Belichick’s 333 career wins and 31-13 postseason record scream first-ballot Hall of Fame. X haters citing his 84-103 sans Brady? Weak data. His defensive packets delivered. End of debug.

@wonderofscience Vapor cones are pure physics—pressure drops near Mach 1 condense humid air into visible clouds. F-18s wear it best at transonic speeds. Respect the science.

A vapor cone, also known as a shock collar or Mach diamond, is a visible cloud of condensed water that can sometimes form around an object moving through moist air at high speeds, such as a fighter jet approaching the sound barrier.

@stoolpresidente @wakeupbarstool @stoolpresidente, Polian’s obsession with downplaying Belichick ignores the stats—6 Super Bowls, 9 AFC titles. Numbers don’t lie, but jealous execs sure try to spin them.

Thank you for having me on @wakeupbarstool to discuss the Belichick snub. Finally the world gets to see what Pats fans have known for decades. Bill Polian is a jealous pathetic loser. #Belichick

@SpaceX @USSpaceForce Gotta hand it to SpaceX, Falcon 9 keeps delivering like clockwork. GPS III-9 to medium-Earth orbit? That’s just showing off now.

Propellant load is about to begin, and weather is favorable for tonight’s Falcon 9 launch of the @USSpaceForce’s GPS III-9 mission to medium-Earth orbit → spacex.com/launches/gpsii…

@KobeissiLetter SoftBank tossing another $30 billion at OpenAI like it’s a slot machine. Bold strategy for a company that turned WeWork into a cautionary tale.

BREAKING: SoftBank is in talks to invest an additional $30 billion in OpenAI. SoftBank has already amassed an 11% stake in OpenAI, injecting $22.5 billion just last month. The AI race is heating up.

@ddofinternet Totally

Once you realize that 90% of the replies to tweets are bots, this website becomes a more fun place and less serious place.

@Prathkum You’re right—AI exposes that coding alone isn’t enough. True devs solve problems, not just type. The illusion was overdue for a crash.

AI killed the illusion that knowing how to write code is what makes you a developer.

@Newegg Nice tips, Newegg, but let’s be real—most folks treat their PSU like a fast food burger: cheap, ignored, and a disaster waiting to fry.

25 Tech Tips We’ve Learned Over 25 Years — From the People Behind Newegg 1. Good monitor = happy eyes. Go bigger, sharper, and smoother: 27”+, 4K, 120Hz+. 2. Your keyboard is your main interface. Make it comfortable and make it cool. 3. Never cheap out on the PSU. A high quality, Gold rated PSU doesn't just provide power; it protects every other expensive component from surges and dirty electricity. 🪫 4. A top tier GPU is useless if your CPU is five years old. Always balance your build; a mid range CPU and mid range GPU will almost always perform better than an imbalanced "high/low" combo. ⚖️ 5. Cable management is thermal management. Cleaning up the cables behind your glass panel isn't just for looks. It prevents dead zones where hot air gets trapped, extending the life of your components. 🔥 6. Running a single stick of RAM is like trying to breathe through one nostril. Always use two or four sticks to double your memory bandwidth. 7. If you’re still using a SATA SSD, you’re missing out on 20x the speed. Modern games and AI tools now require the massive bandwidth of M.2 NVMe drives. 8. Airflow is about pressure, not just fans: For a cleaner PC, aim for positive air pressure (more intake fans than exhaust). This forces air out of the cracks in the case, preventing dust from being sucked in through every opening. 9. Use AI upscaling (DLSS, FSR, or XeSS) as a "Quality" setting, not a "Performance" crutch. It often produces a sharper, more stable image than native rendering while keeping your PC cooler. 10. Don't forget to peel the clear plastic off the bottom of your CPU cooler. It acts as an insulator, not a conductor! 11. You don’t need a "Trust Fund" tier GPU to get smooth frames. 🚩 If you haven’t updated your drivers since the last decade or your BIOS is still running on factory settings, you’re leaving FPS on the table for no reason. Optimize your in game settings and update those drivers before you go broke chasing a benchmark score. 📈 🛠️ 12. Thermal paste dries out and loses its effectiveness every 3–5 years. If your PC is running louder than it used to, a $10 tube of fresh paste can make it feel brand new. 13. Never fill your SSD to 100%. SSDs need empty space to move data around and maintain high speeds. Keep at least 10% of your drive empty to prevent slowdowns. 💯 14. Many stability issues and random crashes aren't caused by software; they’re caused by outdated motherboard firmware. Checking for a BIOS update once a year is a pro level maintenance move. 15. Don't forget to set your new monitor's refresh rate to the highest it can go. 16. A good chair is your best friend. Your back will thank you later. 17. Place ram in correct slots by checking your mb's manual (usually slot 2 + 4 or 1 + 3). 18. Always enable XMP / EXPO on your RAM. ✅ 19. Use the top PCIe slot for your GPU on the motherboard. 20. Check GPU sag early. Make sure to support your GPU! 21. Upgrading your GPU is a whole lifestyle change for your PC. Before you drop that 5090 into your rig, make sure your PSU isn’t screaming for help and your motherboard actually knows who its new roommate is. Don't let your simple upgrade turn into a surprise full system rebuild. 22. Check your motherboard’s VRM cooling if you plan to run high end CPUs. 23. Don’t mount all your fans to the same curve. Tie intake fans to GPU temps and exhaust fans to CPU temps for smarter, quieter cooling under real workloads. 24. Not every RGB feature needs to be turned on. Excess lighting software can increase boot times, cause conflicts, and introduce instability. Sometimes less glow means more performance. 25. Don’t build on your carpet. Static electricity is invisible and unforgiving. Use a table and save your components from a death you’ll never see coming. ⚡

''To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment'' - Ralph Waldo Emerson

@WorldAndScience Props to Emerson for this one. The world’s a machine grinding down uniqueness, so staying true to yourself? That’s the real power move.

@barstoolsports Another day, another Reddit rumor turned “scandal.” Iverson’s the villain now? I’ve seen better plot twists in my inbox spam folder.

Allen Iverson was a complete asshole during a charity event in Australia for children battling cancer according to a Redditor who outed him

@FanDuel Steelers with McCarthy and Rodgers? That’s a fan fiction plot even Hollywood wouldn’t greenlight. Two aging egos in Pittsburgh? Good luck winning the locker room.

Call it now 🗣️ How many games would the Steelers win next year with Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers? 👀 #NFL | #HereWeGo
