Connect Your AI Coding Agents to Gmail, Drive, and Calendar If you’ve been using Claude Code or OpenAI Codex to write and run code, you’ve probably hit the same wall: the agents are good at reasoning and writing, but they’re isolated from the tools your work actually lives in. They can’t check your inbox, create … Read more
Why Running AI Models Locally Actually Makes Sense Running AI models locally used to mean expensive GPU clusters and a PhD in systems engineering. That’s no longer true. Tools like Ollama have made it genuinely straightforward to run open-weight models on your own hardware — no cloud subscription, no data leaving your machine, no rate … Read more
The Core Question Most Teams Get Wrong When organizations start scaling AI, they usually pick a side: either everything runs through OpenAI’s API, or someone on the IT team champions running models locally “for privacy reasons.” Both instincts make sense in isolation. Neither is a complete strategy. The local AI vs cloud AI decision isn’t … Read more
Summary Linux 7.1-rc2 adds DMI quirk to restore Steam Deck OLED audio probe issue since 2023. The problem only affected the OLED model; the LCD Steam Deck was not affected. Quirk limits the fix to OLEDs so other devices aren’t broken; tests expected soon. If you’ve owned a Steam Deck OLED for a few years, … Read more
Summary Ask.com (Ask Jeeves) closed on May 1, 2026, as IAC exits the search business. Launched in 1997 with a butler speaking simple English, it was renamed “Ask” in 2006 but lost out to Google. We’re a little surprised it wasn’t closed sooner. In the tech industry, sometimes you have a weird moment where you … Read more
Although a fan of the Raspberry Pi as a teenager, I am starting to be disappointed by this family of single-board computers. After all, rival boards, especially those based on the x86 architecture, have become significantly cheaper over the years, while prices for mainstream RPi SBCs have skyrocketed without offering any tangible benefits in DIY … Read more
For the longest time, I avoided ambiance coding. Not because I didn’t understand it, but because I didn’t believe it. As someone with a background in software development, I’m used to a structure that includes clear requirements, planned architecture, and predictable outcomes. Vibe coding seemed to be the opposite of that. Just trigger an AI … Read more
Windows comes with a fair share of tools, but some of Microsoft’s best apps require an additional download to install. It wasn’t until I reinstalled Windows that I realized which of these tools were missing in a new system. Since they are published by Microsoft, it is natural to assume that Windows already comes with … Read more
When I first upgraded to the 9800X3D, I had to settle for a 32GB DDR5-6400 CL32 kit because RAM prices were skyrocketing at the time. But when prices dropped slightly towards the end of March, triggered by Google’s TurboQuant announcement, I decided to get another 32GB kit, assuming it was just a temporary drop before … Read more
Claude Projects has been part of my workflow for a while now, I don’t think I can imagine not using it at this point. When something becomes reliable enough, you just build around it and forget to question it. I use it to keep long-running research contexts alive and to execute design briefs without re-explaining … Read more
