Total or Shell use a lot of state of the art technology to mine, they are still oil companies.
I'm making a provocative shortcut.
The glossy magazines read by C-suite is the slick marketing part, not the actual product.
Suggestions and ideas welcomed.
FWIW on pairing keyboard I also tinkered with https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/@utopiah/117178674206706009 specifically for this setup.
- cheap Android that can potentially be rooted : Quest 3
- deep into the Apple ecosystem and not a hardcore gamer : Vision Pro
- gamer and Linux tinkerer or just want an open device : Steam Frame
The upcoming Meta headset is also quite nice possibly for remote work but again it's Android and from Meta.

At the risk of being presumptuous I believe that's the wrong way of looking at it. The point isn't to show the entire World that everything you did is perfect (because it's not, for anyone) but rather to grow from potential collaborations, even if only just discussions in issues. It is a humbling process to show how something was built but with a positive crowd it is definitely leading to growth!
- AR where the machine can be put on your desk, next to documents
- VR where the machine is in context, e.g. a 3D model of German Naval Signals HQ in Guernsey, eventually stepping back to a broader context.
Putin or Trump are totally isolated from economical and political consequences so they have no problem severing ties. If there are genuine co-dependencies, including for the leaders, they it's much harder to break peace.
I imagine the ideological aspect is the deeper motivation but it only matters with the right circumstances.
Adding a warning about it could help.

Please check out my page on the topic https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SwappingPartsOfTheRestrict... and let me know if I could improve it somehow to help you.
Overall though my recommendation is :
- do what you can TODAY no matter how small
That means if the OS is too big a of a step, start with an application. If the hardware is too locked down, start with data so that next time you buy hardware, you will bring over that data then switch. Don't postpone.
doesn't it boil down to not using unique services?
If nobody provides an alternative today that could switch as quickly as changing an endpoint and token then you are coupled.
It's not a technical decision as much admitting in the strategy that we are cutting corners because it's cheaper/faster today but some hypothetical day in the future when we'll magically have more resource we won't?
It's not about NVIDIA stock, it's not about your latest harness, it's not about code review on generated code, instead it's about what happens to us when something not human fakes being human and the dangers of it.
I only started reading it but if it's as fundamental as her previous "Reclaiming conversation" then I expect it to change my life for the better, even if it means fighting against the dangerous behavior of the majority of people around me.
An AI is not a person and when you elevate it to that status you lower yourself. It is very dangerous, even more so when it's done, like mobile phone and engagement more broadly before, for profit.
Protect yourself and those around you, regardless of how you like or dislike AI, and trust actual humans specializing in studying human behavior, not psychopaths craving billions.
The farmer take care of his pigs but only to the point they get slaughtered.
If you are a normal person research (e.g. https://arxiv.org/html/2606.22721v1 but there are a lot more, not necessarily on coding) has shown that you indeed are being less careful. It most likely also works better simply because more resources are being poured in.
Sure question what the latest tool can offer and how to integrate with it... but that's just being an app, or a window manager, or a package manager, or a distribution, that's not challenging what the OS itself is and does.
If your OS doesn't change how a computer allocates resources, then you are talking about higher level, and that can be super valuable too, arguably more valuable, but ... that's a different thing.
PS: also chroot (half a century, just checked for the fun of it), jails, containers, VMs, etc limiting how the allocation can be done do exist and have been used for decades already.
In fact I will even admit it, yes AI has gotten better... but also how could it NOT? It has literally all the resources it can has, namely attention from everyone, everybody talks about it, a lot of workers, from state of the art researchers to annotators, all the material resources, from dedicated chips to networking to water to electricity, the entire available dataset of Human written and said thoughts, literally everything published and thus categorized.
AI literally has everything humanity can provide, it better be "better".
