Hi there šŸ‘‹

Cloudflare OS: what's the point?

First, it’s not an OS Cloudflare OS is an open-source AI productivity environment, originally built for Cloudflare’s own staff. Think agent chat, workspaces, and small apps you can build and share with other people. Cloudflare calls those apps ā€œGadgetsā€, with ā€œGatekeepersā€ controlling what agents and apps can access. Disclaimer before anyone gets excited: this is not an operating system like Linux or Windows. You are not installing it on your laptop to replace Ubuntu. The OS name is about managing AI workloads and company productivity. Fair enough, but quite a name to live up to. ...

Your ego won't protect your job from AI

If your opinion of AI still comes from a chatbot giving you broken code a year ago, it might be time to try again. My development workflow has changed enough that I can’t treat AI as a novelty anymore. And I think refusing to use it out of pride could become an expensive decision. It’s been a while since I posted here. Fatherhood has kept me busy, but I’ve also been changing how I work. Over the past year or two, I’ve gone from asking AI for suggestions to letting agents do work directly on my machines. ...

Giga Brain Resizable BAR

Recently, I’ve been keeping one eye glued to the EA/DICE news cycle like a hawk that just discovered Red Bull. Why? Because I’ve been patiently (read: obsessively) waiting for the announcement of the next Battlefield installment. The franchise that once defined chaotic, large-scale warfare with the boys is finally making its grand return and yes, it’s officially happening. Battlefield 6 is on the horizon. Now, I’ve been around the Battlefield block a few times. In fact, I’ve been playing the series since the early 2000s, back when loading screens were long enough to let you finish a sandwich and maps had names you still mispronounce today. At this point, I’m basically a veteran. I’ve lived through the days of buggy launches, questionable balance patches or the lack of it, and ā€œone more gameā€ turning into 6 a.m. sessions where the sun greets you like an unwelcome alarm clock. ...

iPhone USB 3.2 Gen 2, Engineered Flaw?

I’ve been using the iPhone 15 Pro for the past 1 year and only recently it got to my attention that, I gotta give the ā€˜revolutionary’ innovation that Apple shipped with this Pro phone, USB 3.2 Gen 2. All started when I tuned into LTT Wan Show when Linus talking about getting the normal iPhone 16 because he don’t give a damn about the higher speed the Pro has to offer. Reason? When is the last time you really do file transfer from iPhone to PC/Mac? And if you talking about the Pros doing ProRes video, usually it’s recorded straight from iPhone to fast external SSD. And then they will just attach the storage to their workstation. It’s very normal process, and only a handful of people do connect the phone directly to PC, just to do a full backup because they ran out of storage in iCloud or just for convenience pusposes, backup and restore locally. ...

A Sus Tuf

Just over a week ago I bought myself a new router. The plan was, get a good mesh capable but powered by a solid operating system. I came across with many good options especially those TP-LINK Deco lineup. But.. but.. I had enough with TP-LINK. They usually put many routers out of life in just around 2 years. When you get invested into network equipments, you want it to last quite a long time. Sadly, not with them. ...
